Replying to: mmoreno1978 (Apr 06, 2008 6:04 pm) I have had the fix installed...it really doesn't fix the problems. However, just get them to write down that you have a bluetooth problem...echos, garbled voice before your warranty runs out to record the problem. I believe it's s service bulletin and will be performed for free no matter when you do it though....   Whenever I have what I perceive as a problem and they say "oh, that's normal", I make the service writer write down the problem on the ticket anyway. Then if they want to write "it's normal" and you later find out it isn't, you have clear documentation that it was a problem under warranty...right in the dealer's files.

Replying to: mmoreno1978 (Apr 06, 2008 6:04 pm) The fix is an improvement, but not perfect. Keep the volume on your cell phone toward the low end and it should be acceptable. I had mine fixed three weeks before the end of the lease. The fix should be unrelated to warranty. Without the fix, the system is unusable with the Verizon system. Your service manager just doesn't want to do the work. Call Infiniti in CA if he refuses to do it.

Replying to: nrwayne (Apr 07, 2008 5:20 pm) Thank You both.   I was called today by my sales rep who wanted to know if I wanted to get into the 08 early. He says is very much improved.   Any recomendations or opinions?   Should i wait for my lease to end or just upgrade now? Is is that much better?

Replying to: mmoreno1978 (Apr 15, 2008 7:43 pm) Wait for the leas to end! Why take a big hit like that now when you can wait a few months and lease an '08 for dirt cheap because the '09s will be rolling out?

Replying to: mmoreno1978 (Apr 15, 2008 7:43 pm) It's not that much better...in fact the M has hardly changed at all...except if you feel that the now adjustable/comfortable passenger seat "better" enough to justify the move. I can't imagine why you would move to an 08 early unless they gave you such a good deal that financially it made sense. There's some dealer money around now....$2500 I think on the M35....so if they will do the deal based on a capitalized cost of about $2000 under invoice....well, then go for it. Anything less...just sit tight... Replies to this message: mmoreno1978 (Apr 27, 2008 5:30 pm)

Replying to: ghstudio (Apr 16, 2008 2:32 pm) Thank You both! I will surely be waiting. My lease isnt up until April 2009. I am really enjoying the car, but am just itching to do something! I drive my 535xi less and less as it lacks the luxury of my M35x, but the 300hp is a lot of fun.   To be honest, my favorite car is presently my wife's 2008 Toyota Highlander. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I may even want to get one for myself instead of the M35x and the 535xi.

Replying to: nrwayne (Jan 28, 2008 5:22 pm) I know I'm late to the party, but bluetooth issues with Verizon are non-existent. When the first M's came out three years ago there was a limited selection of phones that would couple but within a month or two the problem was over. I've been with Verizon throughout my present lease and have had zero issues with the connectivity. Bart

Replying to: ghstudio (Apr 05, 2008 4:06 pm) It's not the nav system that's cripled ... it's the DVD ... and if you want to watch DVD's while driving your car please let me know WHERE you drive ... so I can avoid you. Bart Replies to this message: capoany (Apr 29, 2008 4:53 am)

Replying to: blov8r (Apr 28, 2008 6:39 am) Hey, Bart, actually, certain programming functions of the NAV system are disabled unless the car is in park in my '06 M35.
#20 of 60 End of Lease by gjonesmi Apr 29, 2008 (12:24 pm)
I have a M45 coming off lease in June that I did a 21 month lease on at a very good residual of 76%. The new lease residuals for 24 months are at a 64% residual and the money factor is nothing to shout about. In the end it is all about dollars to me. Having leased 3 previous BMW's I decided to talk to them again. While the styling leaves something to be desired in the minds of many, I can live with it for for what they are offering on leases. I ordered a 535I with sport, premium, cold weather, premium stereo, park distance sensor and fold down rear seats. The residual was 73% and the money factor of .021 In addition to a very reasonable discount off msrp. As much as I enjoyed my m45 it was time to move on and enjoy the better mileage of the BMW at a smaller lease cost.
