Replying to: hilley (Sep 27, 2006 12:13 pm) Bart and nycdude are correct that the ICC on 2006 and later M35s can be disengaged. Unfortunately, I don't believe this is possible for the driver to do in the 2003 model. While talking to my Service Manager about the current ICC recall, we got into a discussion about previous year models. I was unaware, until that conversation, that previous implementations of ICC did not include "regular" cruise control as a backup to the "intelligent" version. Therefore, I think the only cruise control available to the driver of a 2003 M is the "intelligent" variety. I believe that complaints about the lack of cruise control during rainy conditions("intelligent" cruise is disabled when wipers are engaged) and fear of using "intelligent" cruise persuaded Infiniti to provide both versions on 2006 and later models. Your Service Manager should be able to confirm this for you though.

Replying to: csliva (Sep 26, 2006 10:59 am) Like some others, I would have liked to seen a 6th gear or overdrive like my 2000 Infiniti did for touring/cruising, but that is a minor issue in my mind for a performance based vehicle. |

Several times I have pulled into a gas station and started to fill my gas tank, only to find that the pump turns off after just a few gallons..well before the gas tank is full. If I wait a little, I can pump more gas into the tank..but it can be two or three tries before I really fill the tank. I believe this is due to the gas tank vent somehow getting blocked when the gas is pumped too rapidly....not necessarily a problem with my specific car, but perhaps a design "feature" of the M35. Has anyone else had this problem? |

Replying to: ghstudio (Oct 09, 2006 9:52 pm) For the record, my gas mileage never got above 16.9 (per on board computer) for the first 10K miles ... now I'm getting 17.4 and we're still pumping the summer blend here. In addition, I've dropped from premium (91 octane) to middle grade (89 octane) and am still doing better. Bart |

Replying to: blov8r (Oct 10, 2006 7:21 am) Note that octane rating has nothing to do with gas mileage. You will get the same mileage no matter what octane you use. You only need to use higher octane if the owners manual recommends it.

I'm 19 months into my M35 Sport and still haven't had a moment's problem with it. Its endless array of high tech "stuff" wore off as novelties usually do and the only thing that still impresses me is the nav system. The Bluetooth phone capability is fine but frankly I find it no more useful than my OnStar in my Caddy ... and with my OnStar I didn't have to remember to carry a cell phone with me everywhere I went. Still love driving the car, but there's a lot of dollars tied up in things I can (and do) readily live without. Bart

| Has anyone experienced their M shaking or pulsating when they are cruising at roughly 37mph and 1400RPM on perfectly smooth road. My car has been doing this since the day I bought it, now I have 18000 miles and there still has been no resolution. Any ideas welcomed. | |
