Car: Infiniti G35x

Post

I've had my 2005 G35x for about two months now as I near my 17th birthday. I like everything about this car except for the squeaking window gaskets and the faulty compression rod bushings. It has just over 97,000 miles which is quite a jump from my previous car.
I sold my 2004 BMW 330i back in August with just about 80,000 miles and it couldn't have possibly been any cleaner. I had the bumper repainted because there was a ding in it therefore, it was absolutely stunning when I sold it.

And here's my new car

The previous owner took these and it has since been immaculatized. It was truly disgusting when I bought it however, I failed to take pictures of the filth because I was so anxious to begin cleaning. I started with a simple wash, clay, polish and then wax. I cleaned the seats with ridiculous amounts on leather cleaner since there was 6-7 years and 97,000 miles or grime built up.

I'm going to get the rear windows tinted with 35% and I'm also looking for this cover piece for my radio display. I just got my new Eagle tires put on last week and my touch-up paint arrived in the mail the other day. I hardly put any miles on my car (about 6,500/year) but they're all around town which can be hard on the car as well. :frown:

My parents had been loyal owners to two other BMW 3 series and my brother is still enjoying his. Here's my Mom's 2008 G35x so I'm not super new to the Infiniti brand.

Nice clean looking BMW. Why did you trade into the G?

A few reasons but these are the most important:
More reliable
Larger
All Wheel Drive

The BMW was just too small. It was very close to the ground and had a pretty small wheelbase. The ride of the BMW was just awful even without the sport package and the leather was hard as a rock.
