By the way, even if you don't eventually end up getting an M, we invite you to continue to participate at our forum regardless. Glad to have you here!

I'm new to this site and have just purchased a 2006 M35 Sport w\ 35K miles. Light Platinum with Wheat interior. Bought the car for my wife and will be the family car. The car is like new and even smells new inside.

I have a 2002 Maxima we bought new and has been the best car I ever owned. I don't expect anything less from this one.

I have a couple of questions. The car did not come with an owners manual and the only one I could find online was a 2007 or 2008. Anyone have a link to a 2006 manual?

I'm also interested in purchasing an extended warranty. Would appreciate any info as to where to purchase the Infiniti Extended warranty at a reasonable price.

Owner's Manuals can be found at http://www.infiniti-techinfo.com ... all model years are PDF's there for free (the Service Manuals are here at our site - link is in my sig).

I would strongly recommend getting the Infiniti Extended Warranty at an Infiniti dealer. Contact http://www.everythinginfiniti.com (they are an Infiniti dealer in Arizona) for help - ask for Joe Tsensky.

That link to the Infiniti dealer in Arizona. Does that cover cars in California? If not, please let me know if you know/recommend any in Southern California. There are three dealership that I can start calling but if you know of any let me know.

Like the previous post, I purchased a '06 M35 Sport with technology package. I love this car. I don't know why it took my 2 years to get an Infiniti.

Thank you,

Sonny

New to the forum but have been monitoring it for a bit. Just bought an Ivory Pearl/Wheat M35X with Journey and Tech package. Traded in my BMW 540i. Love the combination of power, AWD and technology in this car.

Looks like a great forum.

Just wondering, why the switch from Beemer to Infiniti?

I was seriously looking at the Lexus LS430 when I found all the info on the M. I have had great success with the Nissan products and after reading all the posts and reviews decided to go with the M35.

It's a GREAT car and I look forward to many years of driving pleasure.

I purchased my first car ever (have always been a truck kind of guy) about a month ago, and it is a 2004 Desert Platinum M45. Talk about an eye opening experience! I love everything about it so far; power, performance, handling, etc.

I have been reading through the posts for the last few weeks, and decided to take the plunge and post (first car and first forum!). I have been very impressed with the knowledge and friendliness, enthusiasm and willingness to share and help!

I am a little overwhelmed as there are so many things to learn about my car, but very glad I was able to find a place like this to learn them at. I look forward to reading more, and getting to know you all. I also look forward to "playing" with my new toy; all I have done so far is re-tint the windows a more suitable shade (limo on the back three and one lighter on the front two) as the sun is always shining here in AZ.

Any suggestions on where I should start?

I'd suggest reading lots of the old posts here in this forum ... there is a lot of information available on many topics.

Another source is the Service Manual ... reading sections gives you a lot of information about your car. Link to them is in my sig.

I don't know for sure, but I would certainly call them and ask! I would be surprised if there is any issue with getting the Extended Warranty from them, given that they are a Infiniti dealer!

Unfortunately, I do not know the Infiniti dealers outside the Bay Area ... sorry!

Hmmm?

I just purchased a 2006 M45 Sport Ultra Silver with 35K on it this past Saturday. So far I love the car. Really quick, very spacious in the inside, overall a great car.

I also have a modified 2000 Lexus ES300 and I usually spend a lot of time on clublexus.com but looks like I'll be kicking her now.

I'll post up pictures after I take some later today.

After reading many posts on replacement tires, I decided to try Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta tires which are replacing the Goodyear GSD-D3's. I'll keep everyone informed on my impressions of this tire.

I'm now looking at doing the DVD/Nav hack which has been mentioned many times. It's so frustrating having to stop the car to put in a new destination. If I had a stand alone unit, I wouldn't have to stop. Of course I would have my front seat passenger do the programming for the new destination.

Has anyone looked at upgrading the braking system to the AP racing system available from Stillen? Just wondering if it's worth all that $$$.

I am not familiar with that Goodyear tire model .

If you meant the "Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3", then yes, I would love to hear about how the Vredestein's compare! Because I consider these Goodyears Eagles to be an excellent tire for our cars!

Thanks and welcome to NICO!

I just purchased an 2007 M35x with 11,800 miles. Advanced Tech and Premium Package. Traded in a 1999 Audi A4 on its third engine.

Thanks,

I just bought at 2006 M45 sport, graphite with black interior, aero, journey & technology packages. Soon as I get some tint on the windows I'm going to post pics.

I just picked up a 2006 Ivory Pearl (wheat and wood) with some higher miles, and the car still smells new inside. I have heard this from others whom had recently bought preowned M's. I guess these cars hold their leather smell longer than normal (unless the previous driver was a heavy smoker, etc.).

Mine also came without the Owner's Manual. I bought from an auctioneer and got a great deal. I downloaded one online. (I loved these M's so I finally got one. But I still have not fully established what exact package I have with what options. Exploring now. The auctioneer just made the sale - he was no Infiniti expert.)

I purchased an extended warranty referred from the selling source. I got this heavily discounted. Seems I might better look into the Infiniti extended warranty given the mods here actually encourage this directly.

Welcome to NICO!

You can download the PDF of the Owners Manual at http://www.infiniti-techinfo.com. Service Manuals are at NICO ... see my sig for where (first post I posted on this page has the links).

Yes, we encourage the Infiniti extended warranty because of the high cost of repairs to electronics (if the occur) ... for any modern cars really! If you plan to keep the car past the warranty period, of course.
