M time

Just picked it up today....

Damn, thats a beauty!!

AWD??

I'm shooting for an 08. Between my maxima and now the FX, i'm sick of orange dashes.

 

[fxlr8]

It should be a RWD I hope, not sure on how you tell with the M... Don't see an AWD light when I start it and I think the AWD is called an M45X.

Woot! Sweet! 2 M converters recently =)

Looks like you got the non sport version based on rear bumper chrome trim. I'm sure you can always swap it out. How much did you pay, what options, mileage??? Let's get some 411.

Did you keep you FX?

 

[fxlr8]

Yup non-sport, tech package, 36,000 miles. FX is gone.

This thing has amazing power, accelerated on the freeway and it is smooth as butter.

Congrats on the purchase... I have 08 envy.....

stayed in the Blue family I see.

Great choice in power plant.. you have the HR engine as opposed to me I have the DE engine...

Fun to drive and I'm sad you left your baby go.

 

[Mongolian]

I believe HR came with 09 and 10. 08 is still DE. Isn't HR on the 35 only? I know that you can tell it's an HR engine on the 35 with dual intakes

 

[fxlr8]

2006-2008 M35 = VQ35DE
2009-2010 M35 = VQ35HR
2006-2010 M45 = VK45DE

I believe

Looks great! Is that blue slate?

 

[fxlr8]

Slate Blue it is. When are you getting yours? :dance:

 

[StuLax18]

My dad is still shopping around. Not sure if he wants a new M or maybe a BMW 5 series. He doesn't seem to be in any hurry though.

 

[fxlr8]

I heard the M35h is going to be a heck of a car... Let him know.

 

[Qwikhas]

M37/56 > 5 Series

Both are pretty sexy but i'm biased towards the M's.

Nice pickup.

So it's just M45? X designates AWD. If no X, then you're RWD. And you're right on the engines...you have VK.

 

[fxlr8]

Thanks, yeah just M45.
