Motorweek Video of the 2006 Infiniti M35 and M45 - Check out more car reviews at www.motorweek.com - read honest reviews and check out specs escortsheaven.com
Had a M35X that was my baby. Adored that car- until FedEx driver ran a red light and totaled it. Now on a M45S, Flowmaster Super 10s and Cold Air Intake. ❤️❤️ BTW- FedEx paid nothing. 🤬🤬
@@flyintacosnake2079 I’ve had zero problems other than had to have Valve Cover gaskets on the M45. The 45 will GET IT, and is stupid fast. Gas mileage sucks in town but Interstate avg is about 25MPG. I will have another one
@@flyintacosnake2079 my M35X had 174,000 miles and I made several trips from Atlanta to Detroit and back, as I have with the 45 Sport. Take care of it, don’t dog them, and you’ll have no issues.
The second generation M series, along with the G, are the best performance bargains out there. Incredible performance, looks, comfort and handling with best in class reliability. Having owned 3 of them, all I can say is find a good one used and enjoy.
I drove my 2006 M3X to 275,000 miles. Never a squeak. Blue with the wheat interior..loved that car. "Old Blue". Just got a 2007M35X. Graphite grey. 74,000 miles but runs sweet. Just one quality car.
Bought a pretty clean 2008 M45 sport for $12, 000. Runs perfect with 100,000 miles on it to. A huge bang for your buck considering my model was almost 60 large when new. Still drives like new and everything works still to.
Well, i just went over 500,000 km in my 2006 Infiniti M35X. Everything works like new still (even the wireless head phones for the rear passengers still work!) and it handles and rides basically as good as new, the power is only slightly (but still noticeably) down but the match rev tranny works as new. Only non maintenance/consumable (breaks, tires, belts, etc) i've had to do is the front wheel bearings once, the exhaust once, and last year replaced the original battery. Most amazing vehicle i've ever owned (23rd car in my life) and the first one i've ever decided to keep and "drive into the ground". Only problem is it just might be waiting for me to go into the "ground" before it does! Edit…forgot to mention that i've never put a drop of oil in it between oil changes. After about five years i stopped even checking until half way to next oil change, after ten years i stopped checking at all. Now i check just before i change the oil and it's always right to the line.
It's a shame, that Infiniti/Nissan fell so far behind after making the legendary cars like M, G and FX series back then.
New Infiniti try to be a Cadillac rather than an Upscale Japanese only Nissan they sold in 2000s
I've had my 2007 M35X for 2 years. I just broke 150K miles, and she stills purrs like a kitten. It's my baby ❣💕💞
Can’t believe this car had all these features in 2006.
Bro I got one and I feel the same way.
INFINITI was the pioneer of a lot of these features.
Nissan Fuga is better than Cadilacise Infiniti

@@Butter615s fedex moment
What brand intake you have bro ?
Had one of these waaay back. Even cars today still don’t have those features. And he didn’t mentioned cool seats and power rear sunshade 😀
Timeless is an understatement... The interior wasn't talked about enough!

+David Wendel I agree with you. And this is coming from a BMW 5-Series owner !! lol

@@Walter37165 does it have engine burning oils and transmission failure
@@DiaperSNiFFER Correct. Two V/8 4.5 Infinitis and both used oil after 125k. Get one with under 100-125k and enjoy.
@@daver53 ohhhh late reply I got a 2010 infinity M35S it’s good car I like it but I want another car 🚗
This car really stood the test of time so far
Just bought mine for $7k
Davida Johnson what year is it and how is it running?
I wonder how much these cars cost now. Honestly, this felt like a spiritual successor to the J30 of the mid 90s.
Elton Thomas I have this model and a Q50. The M35x is between $6-12,000.

Just bought an 07 M35 for my Wife with 78k miles from the original owner for $4500... we absolutely love it! Great value and hell of a car...
Man the j30 was nice, loved the design
I just bought a M45 sport for 5,000 dollars. 150xxx miles.
In japan its called the nissan fuga.
Braeden's Diecast boi , where have you been ?? Everything knows what but you 💀🤣🤣🤣🤣
Currently Driving My 5th M35 This Is A Great Car 4 Sure.....Time To Buy A M37 Or A M56 Now
Yep i agree. GONNA Move up to a M56 when I'm done with my M45 sport.

This car is so beautiful designed and engineered. I can not believe it's impact is not more substantial.
Trying to grab one for around 4500
High mileage ones are easily that price. But I recommend if you want the full potential of this car get the M45 Sport.
Doug Demuro should do a video of this car too.
i agree this came out before the LS even had features like this
Nah he one of those that care bout the badge, he doesn't like infiniti too much.
He hates infiniti a lot
Bluetooth wireless link in 05 huh?
all aluminum no more rusty crusty steel for me
Gotta love 240p lol
3:50
Bluetooth for your PDA??!!
Ahhhh, the world before smartphones...
I'm getting one next month
Nice review, MotorWeek is awesome. I've been watching this show since 1984 & looking foward to many more years to come.
I just bought one for 300 bucks. These were very expensive cars that really depreciated over time. This was the sport M35. Now its a project vehicle.
I I cringined when he said "PDA"
