Please don't tell me the S500 is going. I have to admit though, the M45 is nice, and comes with a crapload of cool and innovative features. Can't blame ya.

Congrats and enjoy man.

The s500 is still with me. The only thing this car doesn't have is airmatic. Everything else is there. Sticker was $58K but I offered $50K and they took it.

Very nice kenstudios. I love the M45, but I didn't know they had AWD (for the M45 at least).

Nice car...

Nice car, good price, but the wheels are a bit taudry for my taste. I wish MB sold their short wheelbase crs here.

I will take care of those wheels once I break it in. They said it's not limited. I'm yet to see. Tires are W rated high performance.

Nice color combo choice, the infiniti M's are wonderful cars, I actually test drove one before i eventually ended up going with the SL (yeah i know two completely different cars). My ONLY complaint about the whole car which was the deciding factor for me, were the rear lights, i just couldnt stand them it just didnt appeal to me at all...not to insult the car just 1 thing i didnt like out of the other handful of positive attributes of the car

It'll take me a little while to get used to those lights. The sound system is amazing too. Those little tweeters bring depth to the music and there is a 10 inch sub for those lows. Thanks.

A friend of mine just bought the same car (same colors too), and the sound system is absolutely amazing. It is the only OEM sound system that, in my opinion, sounds better than my W140.

Ken, how do you feel the car compares to your W220 in terms of handling, engine performance, noise level, materials, etc... I know that you have had your fair share of W220 issues, but issues aside, how do you feel the cars compare?
