Buying 2006 M35x - questions

[seabird]

looking at buying a used 2006 M35x and have a few questions. How easy are these cars to work on? I'm a diy'er and like to change oil and do small mods to my cars.

is there any special changes between model years that i should be aware of?

what are the key problems with these cars?

thanks rob

As a new owner who just installed a HID upgrade kit, that the headlights are a bit difficult to get to as you have to remove the wheel and wheel well liner to do so. There is also a full covering under the engine that must be removed to change the oil and filter, but it works great to keep the engine clean.

Bottom line is there are easier cars to work on, but I've never had one with such a clean engine and compartment.
