In my experiencee, you will notice absolutely no driving or economy difference between the OEM stock air filter and an aftermarket one.

I got a air filter from Carquest for $12 and put it in myself, anyone could do it, you don't need the dealer.

The filter was $14 and it took me about 3 minutes to put in. I haven't read that consumer report, but I think if they used my old filter, they would notice a difference. There is no question whatsoever that I got more power after changing it. I haven't checked my mileage since I got back from the road trip. I drive the same route virtually every day so I'll take a look and see if it's any different.

To be more specific, Consumer Reports said that the dirty filter did affect acceleration, but not fuel economy.

The computer will keep the mixture right, but will only therefore inject enough gas to match the amount of air available (the air mass flow sensor does the measurement). So, with a clogged air filter, you'll not get the same power since no matter where you have the throttle, the computer is in between actually controlling things. On an older car, say with carburators, you'd risk burning up the engine.

Awesome....Infiniti is finally listening to M35 owners by changing the transmission gearing in the M35 to improve MPG. I'll be very curious to see how much this will change their MPG numbers.

When did you hear about the gear changing? Is it going to be a 7 speed transmission now or same 5 speed?

The 2009 M35 will have the 7 speed. It will help just a little but only on highways. Almost no difference in city driving. Compare the new FX35 to the old one.....not much difference. Darn....

Where was this announced? Does the M35X get the 7-speed? Even a slight improvement would be welcome.

As far as I know, it hasn't been announced but the dealers seem to know about it.
Another change is that the doors will automatically lock when you move (perhaps this is an option that you can switch on/off).
