I finally purchased my new M35 with Tech/Journey at Tustin Infiniti. Sales manager was great. With the help of Car_Man in the Leasing forum. I walked in they had the car I wanted, worked with salesman and sales manager, told him what I was looking to pay and what leasing numbers I expected. The deal took 2 minutes to get done. Got $2700 off MSRP of 49910. Paying $607.00 a month plus tax with $1637 drive offs on a 39 month 15K miles. Thanks to all, these forums have been invaluable in acquiring my new M.

Loose seat by mexibec

My M45 has 650 mi and the driver's seat is becoming loose. Not a lot, but if I have to break moderately hard, the seat will move say 2-3 mm forward. Visit #1 to dealer...

XM Radio Annoyance by paulj

We picked up our M35x Premium late March - fantastic car. This is by far the best initial ownership experience of any car we've owned ever. But with something this good, I am stumped why the XM radio will display only 10 characters of Artist / Song Title name in the LCD monitor. XM sends 16 characters fixed, scrolling to 32. I can put my XM handheld next to the LCD montior in the M35x and see the complete data that XM is sending. I've reset the M35's radio twice using XM's web site; no joy. When no data is being sent (say, between songs), the LCD monitor in the dash displays 20 hyphens (--------------------), so there is no limitation there. Somebody was asleep at the switch when they designed this. Others may say that this is too picky, but MHO says that for a car that is marketed the way that the M is - as a technological wonder - this is just plain unacceptable. Surely a car that can answer the question, "Where am I?" by reading satellites in space should be able to spell "Frank Sinatra" (XM Channel 73 is the best thing yet!) without it coming out "Frank Sina" and "My Funny Valentine" as something better than "My Funny V"

followup:
   I think the steering feel was just breaking in. The automatic is shifting more smoothly after ~1300 miles. One weird thing is that my windows went from non-one touch (have to hold the button down) to the one-touch and the windows go down fully. I think I prefer the former rather than the latter although it just takes some geting used to. I didn't go through the instruction manual to switch so I don't know why it did so.

Navigation Problem by dickster1

If my dealer weren't so far away, I wouldn't post this.
 
Suddenly my nav system had become intermittent. When I go to enter a destination, the highlight (street address) goes from yellow to grey- totally unresponsive. Then it will go to yellow gain and in the middle of entry it goes grey- and quits.
 
It happens some of the time. When it works, it's ok- but then the problem recurs.
 
Any suggestions other than a visit to the dealer?

I'm sorry if I don't understand. Are these changes dependent on your being stopped vs. in motion? If so, that could explain it.

Actually the problem occurs either at rest or in motion- kind of when it wants to. Obviously, if I need to program an address, it will be at rest or if in motion, then by a passenger.
 
It would seem as though the computer has a glitch which comes and goes.

If you are moving at all (or for a short period after coming to a stop), you will not be able to program a new address. I even discovered that you cannot scroll past the first five previous destinations while moving (once you stop, the old ones can be reached).
 
As far as I know, other than using previous addresses or using voice commands, there is no way to set a new destination until you come to a stop (and wait a second or three).

drtravel, does the replacement of Y pipe fixed your clanging sound problem? If yes, can you provide more information (ex. phone # and contact at the service department) so I can pass the info to my local dealer.
 
I have the same the clanging sound problem from the Exhaust system after shut off the engine, the dealer in Santa Clara heard the sound but won't admit it's a problem and fix it since there is no "TSB" (technical service bulletin) yet.
  
The dealer's suggestion is to call the 1-800 Infiniti number (1-800-662-6200, then 7 for customer satisfaction) to report the problem, hopefully with enough "inputs" from earlier adaptors a TSB will be created by engineering department, then local dealership can fix this nagging problem.
  
Please reply if you have better luck with your local dealer and call 1-800-622-6200 to provide feedback to Infiniti.

Yes the clanging sound is no longer part of my life. You can contact the Service Manager at Tustin Infiniti - can't give names or phone numbers on this forum - google it. I made a big stink about the problem with the owner of the dealership.
 
The main service man said the exhaust system's design was flawed.
 
Good luck
