barryend; you are SOOOOO right regading the Audi. I drove the same model you purchased except with the B&O System. Goodbye Bose. I am actually embarassed that I was considering the M35, it is too much marketing and not enough performance.

Re-setting maintenance intervals by slownez

Hi y'all...after changing my oil and filter on my '07 M45, I decreased my intervals to 2500 miles since I'm now doing mostly stop and go driving. How do I activate the changes? Is there a re-set procedure that the owner's manual left out? I'm goin' bananas over this!

What is an acceptable amount of oil consumption in 3000 miles?
Thanks BMW

The service intervals are in one of the menus...don't remember exactly where. Did you look in your owners manual?

Just click on the oil change reminder and it will prompt you to reset - it is right above the place where you adjust the interval. Click Reset and it will clear the mileage to zero... and will remind you in 2500 miles.

The general accepted standard is less than 1qt per 1000 miles for performance car, but, with modern engines, I would say less than 2 qts for 3000 miles is acceptable.

The comparable model Audi is the A6, not the A4.
 
We'd pretty much decided on the A6, but our dealer couldn't locate an acceptable car on dealer trade. So we're now driving an Infiniti M35x, which my wife and I both love.

Cigarette lighter as power source by rdesman

I know the owners manual does not recommend the use of the lighter for powering things like radar detectors, etc but has anyone had any experience with doing so?
I just thought I would check before trying it and blowing my car up.

I see what you mean. The owner’s manual isn’t forth coming with technical information.
 
Call the dealer and ask the Service rep. what the cig. lighter circuit is rated for. Ten amps, 15 amps or 20 amps? Whatever that amount is, make sure the components you plug into the lighter socket are less then that amount. You should be just fine with a radar detector. The M35/45’s are great to be driven and the detector is helpful to have.
 
You won't blow the car up - you'll blow a fuse if you plug a component in that draws to much current for that circuit.
 
Wishing you good luck.

about blowing it up. The question really is if the fusing/circuitry for the cigarette lighter is different than the fusing/circuitry for the accessory socket and why Infiniti designed it that way if in fact that is the case.
