Pretty sure the M will be my next car after the G is done.

I've seen several of those around now, they are massive but just look absolutely beastly! Awesome pickup!

No big deal, its not a sports car so I'm not really that bothered by it.

After tinting it, not sure what else I would possibly do.




wow I must say...great minds think alike...

I was just looking at one as well lol (cant afford the m56 yet )

First off, great seeing you and I hope everything is going great for you and the fam....secondly...best of luck and hopefully one day I can check it out in person

btw, how does it feel in term of acceleration to your STi (stick?)

I love it that Nissan/Infiniti has the balls in this day and age to actually put a V8 engine in this car.

Great pickup! I take it from the "M56S" moniker that you have the RWD model?

Wow! You went all out. Welcome to the Infiniti family. You gotta let us know how that V8 feels.

Now, compared to a 3 series its certainly on the larger side of things. But its not a tank by any means.

For example...overall lengths.

2011 5 series - 193.1
2011 M - 194.7
2011 7series SWB - 199.8
2011 Sclass - 206.5


Yeah, this a RWD model. I'll just have to deal with the winter month issues. Definitely nice to still see V8s going in new models. But not sure how long that's going to last going forward.

So far its nice, taking it easy for now. But you can certainly tell its got some power.

Good to see you as well, anytime you want to check it out let me know.

The STi is probably the slightly faster car if driven correctly. Once I have some miles on it, will definitely get a better idea.

Is it just me or is Inifiti going for an "organic" style with this car and the new QX? I love it. OP does your car have that forest breeze air conditioning system that is touted in the commercials? Curious to know what that's all about.

Yeah it has it, part of the Sport Touring package. Haven't spent enough time in the car to notice if the system works as advertised.

Beautiful car! Congrats! I sat in one of these while working the deal for my G earlier this year and the interior is one of the best I've ever seen....
