Went shopping for left over 2010 and I was told they were sold out of 2010 M35. So, I did the next best thing cuz I hate going shopping and not buying what I intended to buy... I bought a slightly used one. 18.9k miles white on black sport with navi.

Pretty nice car and I'm quite happy with hit. I just debadged the car. I'm looking for what other little things I can do before I do something major. I told my wife to buy me Junction Produce exhaust. I saw one in person and it was beautiful.

As for the FX, it will live in the garage... i now have 2 garage queens. I think I'm gonna raise her back up. I will probably sell my H&R :tup:
 
Nice, Ms are awesome. :smile (2):

Thanks. I like it quite a bit.

It is sort of weird driving this because all my car are much stiffer than the M, especially the FX. Another thing I noticed about this and the G37 coupe is that the steering wheel is very loose (turns with no effort)? I think the M is more loose than the G37. It's harder to feel the road. I guess it make it more luxurious.

The Bose system in this car isn't all that great. There are vibrations related to the subwoofer. Finally, it may not seem like it's bigger than the FX, but the interior of the M is noticeably larger. I think I can fit a third person in the middle with both of our child seats in place.

Overall, I love this car. I can't wait to buy couple of things here and there. My plan is to keep it relatively stock. I've planned my mods in this order:
1) Flush mount spoiler and roof spoiler - very near future, I will order this week (approved by CFO - Wife)
2) Tint (very light to moderate in darkness) - very near future (approved by CFO - wife)
3) Work Gnosis GS1 - i won't skimp out on wheels for this car. I'll do this next year so wife doesn't get too pissed (pending approval by CFO - wife. She said she likes them)
4) JP Type 3 exhaust - Probably next year or two. I gotta figure out where I can order this from? Looks like it might be hard to get my hands on (pending approval by CFO - wife. She also likes these too)
5) Some sort of suspension - Last thing I will do. I don't want to lower this one, but If the the new wheels make the car look like a truck i will probably lower it right away. (denied approval immediately after I brought up the topic by CFO - she had a bad experience with my TL a while back. It involves suspension failing and spinning out in the freeway).

So no performance mod for this one. I'm just gonna use it as a cruiser.

I can't wait! :tup:
 
Is it tinted at all? One thing I remember about my dad's when compared to the FX was it was so bright inside. No tint+gray leather made it really bright.
 
Congrats on the M Andrew. Put your stock 20"s from your FX on the M for the time being.

I like the stock 19s more than the 20s from the FX. I'll wait a bit for wheels. I ordered $150 in leds last night from www.v-leds.com I will order the spoiler sometime later this week.

No tint at the moment. I
 
Damn LEDS, I have a flicker problem, like everywhere. Wish those things would last

The PIAA leds I bought are working perfectly but they are way too expensive. I read some review on V-leds and their leds have heat sinks built into them just like the PIAA so they will last you. They are more expensive than others.
 
I hate to admit this, but I like your M better than the new one... The new one, for some reason, looked better in pictures (internet, magazine etc etc...), but when I saw it in person, I just kinda thought "meh". Which is rare, cuz a lot of cars lately didn't look good in pictures, but after seeing it, in person... looked much better.

congrats on the new toy:tup:
