2011 M56x vs 2013

[nuck]

Any reason at all to consider a 2013 MY over an earlier one other than warranty?

[Ilya]

Nope. Same exact car. 2011-2013 are identical...2015 saw the updated body.

EDIT: Meant to say 2011-2014. And I didn't delve into the nitty gritty, just the overall car itself. The base models (bumpers, mirrors, lights, etc.) are the same between 2011-2014...package variations vary.

rear sonar became available, plus maybe few other options. Other than that same car, same look.

[Debonair]

Didn't the M56xS become available in later years too?

Where did 2014 go?

I think 2014 was the old body with the new Q70 name.

[Ilya]

Oops, typo. Meant to put 2011-2014 lol.

Also heated mirrors became part of the tech package.

If you like the MusicBox feature get the '11, 2013s no longer had that. But, as stated you could get AWD with Sport package on the 2013+ cars.

Not sure about the 56 but on the M37, autodimming outside mirrors come on the 2013. Not the 2012 or 2011.

Ugh, what? Mind blown! Didn't even know that was a thing on ANY car.

Oh yeah, sure thing. My 2003 m45 has it although only on the driver's side. It is controlled by the sensors on the interior rearview mirror. So if you have dark tint in the rear, you might never get to see the autodimming benefits.

So the Sport package is the M56xS with the paddle shifter?

[Mjkkb2]

if it's a 2013 then yes AWD with Sport package

Interesting...because driving at night I don't ever recall having an issue with glare coming from the outside mirrors

I never notice it until I drive other cars at night, then I miss it. I would have assumed all the M/Qs had it

The '13 has the SOS feature too. If I remember correctly the service is no longer available though, Infiniti mailed me something about that but I didn't pay attention to it as I don't use it regardless.
