Sweet! Just make sure to break it in. It may kill me but I will follow the break in rules very strictly to make sure this car lasts as long as possible. BTW, I just got news of when my car is actually going to show up. I'm looking at May 11th, give or take a little. I wonder if I'm going to celebrate this anniversary in a year?

amazing car. You will love it. My last 2 cars were a 2000 BMW 328i and a 2001 BMW 740i. The G35 is just as good if not better so far in most areas.

"Just make sure to break it in."
Ya know, when I buy my daughter a new toy, it usually does a little something while checking it out in the store, and when you get it home and out of the packaging, there's a little plastic tab that you need to pull out, and then the toy has full capabilities.
For example, the toy may play one line of a song, but when the tab is pulled, the whole song plays.
I wish my G had this little plastic tab, which is not to be pulled out of it's little slot until proper 1200 mile break-in is complete.
This car WANTS to be driven, and keeping it below 4K ALL the time is a feat that even Mother Teresa herself could not accomplish.

Yeah...that first break-in period is tough...but trust me, it will go by pretty quick. Besides...it's ok to occasionally "slip" on the gas and go above 4k Just keep it withing the limits most of the time. But after the break in....have fun. I have to really watch myself sometimes on the empty freeways...before I know it I'm around 120 and it's just coasting

Is there a break in period? My dealer is telling me that they run the engines for a few thousand miles before putting them in the cars so there is no break in period. True? My gas milage is awful.. 11 mpg in the city and only 20mpg on the highway with icc on at 80. Does it get better?

Depends on your driving habits...I haven't gotten better than 19 so far...didn't you read the reviews?? It is notorious for lousy gas mileage. Jack rabbit starts don't help and I've found that frequently it's difficult not to wind it up, even in city traffic.

Your dealer should try reading the manual. I really hate it when salespeople, who should be the expert on the vehicle, know less about their product than the consumer.

Paint Sealer or Wax before Clear Bra
by bs55

Getting a clear bra on my new g35 soon. Didnt get any added protection from the dealer. Should i go to a detail shop to get a paint sealer or wax done on it before the clear bra is installed.
Or is the clear coat that came with the car enough?
Or should i get the sealant and wax be done after the clear bra so that there is wax on the clear bra?
Thanks

TL to G35

Hi everyone,
Just out of 04 TL and I have to say this car is GREAT. Better than the TL in almost EVERY way...even the stereo (TL has dvd-a) Hard to drive slow, first gear (G35S Auto) really wants to be wound out. I wouldn't want to race this same car when I'm in my S2K (At least highway). TL would be a waste of gas. Best in class for the $..hands down. 335 overpriced, IS same (And too soft), TL-S too slow (And being redone next year) Just my 2 cents ! !
