European ride have u seen the interior of BMW? FLAT.... Bam! in your face FLAT..... if their car is so good why can't they spent some time imporving their interior..... our interior got soft, attractive curves..... and the right curve is like a woman.... it'll make you wanna be inside the car, enjoy the car, spent time with the car......

As far as M35 and RL goes...... all I have to say is SH-AWD, let's c M35 do that!

I agree on BMW needing to refresh that interior.. too old for my tastes, but then again, maybe I'm missing it... or, BMW just don't care cuz most of the people buying them don't care and just want BMW...

If their interior was a little better I'd have it higher up on my list of cars to buy after the RL.. y'know after I get all the enjoyment of being inside the car, like a woman, but then get bored and need something new.....

If the M35 is like the G37, you can't program the Nav. while driving. Other features are also disabled while driving, such as parts of the phonebook. The TPMS on the G doesn't display the pressures of each tire like the RL does, it only gives a warning if any tire pressure drops. Overall, the voice commands and Nav. in the (05)RL is far superior to the G37. Before you buy an Infiniti, make sure you check out everything while you are driving. I love my RL for its features, and also love my G37 for its performance. I wouldn't buy a M35 until Infiniti enables all of the features that it appears to have, but are actually disabled.

Even for a car introduced in 2004, the amount of tech in the car is amazing. There are things that you learn and appreciate more as time goes on...lots of little thoughtful details by the designers. And the 2009s are nicely updated with the USB audio and better performance.

Coming from the Nissan/Infinti line, and just recently joining the Honda/Acura family, I can honestly say that they are both great cars. That being said, I like the looks and sportiness of the M35X. The interior of the RL is much nicer IMO though. And to be really honest I like the M35 RWD sport version. The 09 RL is nice looking, but I still think the front end needs some work. And it was brought up before but I'll say it again, 5 spd auto, 300 hp vs 7 spd auto, 305 hp. The RL technology is still way ahead of the M though. All in all I got my RL because it was a steal, but I was really looking for an Infiniti. But so far no regrets in regards to my RL.

RL - Rare, sexy, very well priced, so much tech, SH-AWD, very special car (05-08 especially)

M35/45/G35/37 - Not rare, all over the place, very ordinary, your car won't be very special AND
could crash from trying to see the angled buttons on NAV/Audio display

The 09 is even more rare than the 2005-08, with more up to date features and performance....
