With a 2008 m35 base car (no nav. or anything extra) , is there a way to hook up a rear view camera and get it work without allot of wiring or software up grades ?

I saw a rear view camera kit in Walmart. I don't know anything about it.

M35x Final Drive Ratio by tonycd

I know that on old RWD Detroit sedans, it was a rather simple matter to change out the rear axle for another one with a taller or shorter gear ratio, and thus modify the final drive ratio.
 
Obviously, this is more complicated with an AWD car like the M35x. Given the annoyingly tall final drive, even in top gear, that Nissan still insists on using for the AWD 5-speed, is it feasible?

Feasible, no, possible - anything, if you've got enough money. The speedometer/odometer wouldn't be accurate, either...it's all controlled by the computer (well, maybe if you have the nav system - that can self-correct within limits). Not sure how the front power takeoff works, you might end up with a terrible, dangerous mismatch between front and rear. The transmission would shift at the wrong points, and the load would increase in first gear...not good for takeoff, the internal clutches, etc.

Has anyone replaced cabin or seat filters themselves. I was wondering how much trouble they are ?

The only reason to get the x (4 wheel drive) is if you are in the snow belt...and then that's the only M you should get.
 
The sports model rides a bit stiffer than the regular M and has some "trammelling"/stability issues (jumping around when the car hits a tar strip on the road).
 
If you are going to consider the sport, find a road with a tar strip between the lanes and see what happens as you change lanes (crossing that strip slowly). Many find that the wheel catches and almost pulls the car away from you when it catches on that strip.

I upscaled and downsized from a 2006 M35X to a 2009 Audi A4 2.0 quattro, sports package. I recommend driving one before going for an Infiniti M or G. If you are a handling fan order one with sports package. 30 mpg highways vs 20, much better handling and ride. No trammeling and uncontrollable lurches. Not as much gizmology but fold down rear seats, huge trunk, finest build quality. Prepay service and sleep at night. 50%+ residuals. 2010 has new Nav. & hard drive a la Infiniti.

The A4 is a much smaller car than the M....perhaps a comparison to the G is more appropriate and I suspect the G37 will outperform an Audi in most situations.

The 2008 A4 body model B7 was replaced by the B8 in 2009. It is much larger than a G37 and smaller than an M35.
 
Mileage is +25% better than a G and +30% better than an M, Large trunk and fold down rear seats make effective carrying usefulness beyond the M35. Steering , handling and ride and ride are much better than an M and superior to a G. Two wheel and suspension options on the quattros. Third option is adjustable suspension called drive select. European designed for $8.00 a gallon gas. Superior speakers in Audi's mid line stereo to my Bose 14 speaker M. Bose is the Oreck vacuum of sound systems. Lightweight, over branded and overpriced.
 
 I think a G37 is a great car but small for me and thirsty. Overpowered beyond my needs. Go for it if it works for you. Great bang for the buck. No sport suspension offered on G37X.
 
Beware the OEM rubber on Infinitis.
 
M35X is a load that can hardly stay straight on the road. Terrified my wife and daughter. Noisy, harsh, and too thirsty. 14 mpg in the burbs with a/c running. Never drove a RWD M35. Not sold in NY. I assume with the 7-speed it is better. Great rear seating, great quality and gizmos, loved my dealer, Pepe in White Plains, NY.
 
I would zip up my wallet pocket before going to Audi service. I prepaid 45,000 miles service.
