I read the manual and said that the key rings are color coded so you can distinguish between the 2 sets. Both key rings look the same to me. What does everyone elses look like? Same or Differnt?

Well I've had my 07 G35x for about a month now and I love it. I've got about 3,000 miles on it now and decided to take it out for a little run last night. I put it into manual mode around a series of very sharp s-curves and was all grins. Keeping the engine around 4-5K made a beautiful sound and the car just took off exiting the turn. This car is a blast to drive. It becomes extremely frustrating driving to and from work in traffic because I want to put my foot in it to feel the power. Gas mileage sux bad. I'm sure you can get decent mileage if you drive it like a camry but who wants to? My Sequoia gets as good mileage around town (17mpg) but highway is not too bad. Couple of things I've noted about this vehicle: I'ts had to accelerate only moderately. It either accelerates slowly or it wants to drop down 2 gears and scream. I hate not having door guards to protect from dings. It would totally screw up the lines but I'm so paranoid it stresses me out. My auto lights seem too sensitive even when adjusted all the way down. The headlights are coming on on cloudy days when I pass under a brige. I'm wondering if it could be the dark tint I had put on the windows. I wish the bluetooth would pause playback on my cd's when I'm on the phone. The XM quality is poor. I have a little portable unit I keep on my boat and lakehouse and it sounds great. This system sounds muddy. I had the dealer install it; maybe the factory install is better. These are all nits. I can't beleive Car and driver rated the BMW 328 higher given it's significant horsepower deficit. They wanted to compare it to real performance competitor the 335 but it was 10K more but even still they had to give the Bimmer the nod. I think the interior of the G is much more attractive and the quality of BMW has not been anything to brag about. They are also notorious for chewing up brake pads. Oh well enough Bimmer bashing.

Replying to: davehelm (Apr 10, 2007 11:54 am)  I have to agree with pretty much everything you have here. The car WANTS to be driven. Even with only 100 miles, I'm getting 21 MPG, but I'm also keeping it under 4k, which is no easy task. I also worry about dings but I try to park on another planet whenever possible, to avoid these things. The auto-lights are VERY sensitive, but I don't think window tint would help, unless your State laws allow windshield tinting, as the sensor is on the dash. Some of the owners are tinting the sensor itself to make it less sensitive. I'm not sure what I'm doing with that yet... still too new! As for XM sound quality, I have an 06 Acura MDX with factory XM and is also sounds like crap... Muddy is the perfect description. Sounds almost muffled. I have a Sirius Sportster which sends it's signal to the car through FM and it's leaps and bounds better on sound quality. I've also driven the TL and it also sounded very poor when listening to XM. I started up the XM last night and again this morning, and I'm actually a little surprised at how well it sounded. Granted, it's not a CD quality sound, but it's close and far better than FM. I do wonder if your dealer installed option suffers in sound where the factory install doesn't, but I wouldn't understand why. And, finally, Bluetooth calls do not pause the CD, as I found last night. But, this is nothing for me, as the Acura didn't pause CDs when a call came in either, so I'm used to that. Anyways... lovin the car!

Got at lesast 700, still waiting to [pass the breakin period till I can let her fly. Had an '03 G35 and loved that but this is certainly like a whole other car. Even the silence of the windows and sunroof when opening and closing is something else. The rest of the car is extremely quiet too. Being a sport model, the seats are still something to get used to. Thought that they where a bit too snug when I purchased this model but last weekend drove a friend's Murano on a long trip and thought that I was going to fall out of those seats onto the floor..now I prefer the snuggier [?] S seats. All in all a great car |
