OK
I live in Michigan, lousy winters blah blah blah.
I have a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited pretty nicely
done up and its paid off in 6 weeks.
My wife hates the Jeep so I have been thinking of getting
another SUV and getting rid of the Jeep and was looking at
the Grand Cherokee Overland or Ford Explorer Sport.
The other day I realize F it, keep the Jeep and get something
else (Ive always had SUVs) so I went after a BMW 335 Ix
but when I heard the lease payment I just started to laugh
while Im sure its a great car I just cant justify two cars with
that payment..
Anyway I was griping on FB about it and a frat brother who works
with a large automotive group called me this AM as he just heard about
the great lease deals. So I talked to my wife and said "don't worry I am
getting the 4 door" (were trying to have a kid) and she said its only 2 years if you want the coupe get it so I called my buddy and luckily they found me what I wanted! I was either way with the AWD but its what they found and was not much more than the RWD.
I am getting a Black on Black G37X with Sport Package, Nav & Premium Package....

Any advice?
What kinda break in should I perform?
Any quirks with the nav or system? Are there any "hacks" for the Nav?

Thanks!
Getting really excited!

Thanks guys!
I am really excited.
It will be nice to keep the Jeep for when I have
to pick up stuff for work and bad winter days and
when the winter isn't that bad the AWD will be more than
enough....

OK looks like they can't located a black it may have to be Graphite....

It's a crazy difference. I went from a RAV4 to a G and I never want to get into that SUV again. Once you press that peddle you won't stop giggling to yourself.

Enjoy when you get it!

The manual says 1500 miles to break in. It's a lease so I'm not too worried, I started hitting gears 4&5 occasionally after 500miles. So up to you more or less. Everyone has their ideology on it. I think after 1000 I'll fully use that monster of an engine.

A small piece of advice, don't ask about "nav hacks" on this forum. That's a quick way to a scolding, followed by bye-bye.

Google will answer you question regarding that.

Heading to dealer to test drive one and leave the deposit
for mine... They have to trade to get it.

OK
Home from the dealer.
Left them a 2K deposit and now they are trying to trade
for the car with a dealer in OH. Hopefully they will work it out
as there are only 13 G'z in the US which match my wants.
My dealer is one of the largest dealers in the nation so hopefully
they should make the trade with ease.
Dealer said Id likely be picking the car up from them on Monday.

I'd just like to point out that probably half the members here bought their G's used, most likely after someone turned it in after a lease. I'm still in the break in period but I am driving it like I plan to keep it when the lease is done. 1500 miles isn't that long. Who knows, you may decide to keep yours afterwards too. It would suck if you wanted to, but decide not to because you had problems due to not breaking it in right... Just my $.02

Just wondering. Aren't the "13 G's available now ?

stanv

I was thinking about that, but I figured in 3 years when my lease runs out, I'll want something else & I should be able to afford something different. I might even change the type of car I'd want. If anything I'll probably just pick up another lease again. It's one of those things I doubt I'd do so that's why I made my decision to start using it a little earlier than recommended. I do appreciate the advice though, so thanks for that.
