First off correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm under the impression that the M37s or M56s have a sport tuned suspension. That's just what I have read could have definitely been bad information I don't know Lolz. Anyways now to the point I'm wondering if this so called suspension package is available on any Q70 chasis. I'm hoping so as I think to going to a Q70 in the future. Any info would be greatly appreciated as well as person opinions on the model, especially if you owed an M previously.

Thanks, Zeb

You are correct in that the M37S/M56S/M37XS/M56XS/Q70S/Q70 AWD Sport all have a sport tuned suspension

Yes anything with sport package which is available on any M or Q70. Q70L is the only model without sport options.

So you owed a 56s? Would you rather have that back then your Q70? Also could I ask, I hear some horror stories about 56 owners having engine trouble, what do you think of this?


Also thanks guys I didn't even know there was a Q70s does it come in the 5.6?

I loved my M56S until it had the engine trouble. High pressure fuel pump leaked and washed oil from lifter bucket. They were going to fix it but I traded it in instead.

Do like the extra room in the back for kids in the Q70L. But miss the extra power of the 5.6.

The Q70 does have the option for the 5.6 just hard to find them.

Good to know doesn't sound like a major failure, how many miles was that at? I'm assuming it didn't lock up or anything

Oh it killed it. Would barely idle. Was at 110k miles. Would have been $4k repair. Though Infiniti agreed to cover parts, so would have been $2,300 in labor, so they took that from my trade in value.
