New M56x - Updated

[08ex35Owner]

Just wanted to post some pictures of my 2012 M56x. I traded in my 2008 EX35, and was looking to buy a G37 until I seen this in the showroom.










Some folks don't like the oem aero kit, but it appeals to me. The wheels are are O.Z. Ultraleggera HLT which I had on my EX previously. BC Coilovers go on this weekend, so it will be about an inch lower.

She is a beaut!

Beautiful car! Would you mind sharing some interior shots? I rarely ever see them loaded with the adaptive cruise and lane departure camera like yours

[08ex35Owner]

No problem. I'll take some interior over the weekend.

Great looking car and I'm sure a pleasure to drive!

The aero kit, wheels, and tint look awesome. Can't wait to see it dropped a bit.

Are you a fan of chrome? (Handles, window frames, grille...) I think the car would look so clean with all of the chrome blacked out but that's just me.

Except for the rims, I love everything about this car. Congrats!

She's beautiful! I picked up an M37S not too long ago. Keep us posted on the coilover install. Very curious to hear your thoughts on ride quality. I've been on the market for coils for quite some time, just haven't pulled the trigger.

Congrats! Not thrilled about the rims, but love the car.

BC coilovers on an AWD? Haven't seen any info on this. They're not showing anything for this gen M.

I'm not a fan of all the chrome either. I've talked to a local shop about modifying, but I'm not sure it's worth the cost. Especially if I'm not satisfied after it's done.

try plasty-dip (rubber coating) if you don't like it just peel it off

[KoMikeey]

DAmn that aero kit is fresh!!!

[White-Rush]

Lovely.... White is such a Fresh color on these cars, especially with the Aero kit...

Coils will only make it better..

[mexillis]

Right on! I'm hoping to do a BBK next summer and a supercharger.

[kingcnc91]

wow.

[Iconic]

what supercharger ?

[08ex35Owner]

I'll do a custom build.

[seymore4]

Love it. I just picked up an 06 M45 but this WILL be my next ride without a doubt.

I was talking to the guys at uprev and they were very excited about the potential of that new VK with a little tuning.. just need someone to step up do it

Any thoughts OP?

[SoThrowedMex]

nice ride. im not fond of blk rims, especially blk on a white car. BUt to each his own, nice ride , must be nice!!

Well, I finally got around to the coilovers today....and it started raining just as I finished putting them on, but needed to adjust the height. I settled on a leveled looked, but not as low as I'd like it. Going to drive it around and make sure I don't rub before I go any lower. Since I live on the east coast, the Hurricane is affected our weather, so I'll post pictures once the sun comes out.....or at least stops raining.

I used the M37 coilovers as my starting pointing, but I used the G37 AWD Sedan BC coilovers for the front since they follow the same design. Back fit perfect. Purchased custom springs, front and rear, from Swift to accommodate the extra weight and different spring rate, and it works fine. Rides great.

I imagine I'm going to hear a ton of responses saying that this setup won't work, or how I'll crash someday....but I retro fit a G37 sedan coilover kit on my EX35, and never had any problems. I'll leave it at that.

Pics coming soon.

Just so you know, the pic above is someone else's car. I'm keeping the OEM wheels for the winter. Its easier to swap out. Pa weather is unpredictable.

[M35xPA]

LoL, yes I know, the pic above isn't yours, I think it's too low for my taste.

Ha ha, yeah everything is cool here. Its been raining non stop. Supposed to be nice this weekend, so I'll take some pics then. I have about an inch clearance from the tire and wheel well, with no rubbing. Going to lower it another half inch or so, and see how it rides.

[08ex35Owner]

Well, I finally got around to taking some pictured after I lowered the car. Let me know what you think.

[08ex35Owner]

Took some glamour shots. Should have washed her first.
