At that price one would start considering other brands like BMW.

Especially if you factor in the cost of maintenance....BMW gives four years of free maintenance; Infiniti gives you no free maintenance and oil change intervals every 3,750 miles. I'm not a huge BMW fan, but the cost of regular maintenance on an Infiniti should be factored into a buy decision.

If they included all the gas you'll be using to go back & forth to the dealer for the inevitable plethera of things that typically go wrong w/ BMWs then it would be a good deal

Thats exactly what I have been saying, in the +50k range I would visit the BMW dealership. The 535i and M37 are adequately powered and I would not even consider paying more for the 550i/M56. Both the 535i and M37 can hang with the G37.

The '11 M is a badass car, inside is very nice and makes the G interior look cheap. I would pick the M over the 5 series anyday - except the M5 lol

It really depends on your financial situation, and family size. just use your common sense and dont listen to people that say go with the 56x - that car is a entire different level and in the 70's optioned out. Insurance for the M is way more also, make sure you check your rates before biting off more than you can chew.

I agree I love the M its a beautiful car but if it has the same paint as the G then its not worth it. Its bad enough to have a 40k car with cheaper paint than a hyundai let alone a 60k+ with the same issues.

It is by far the cheapest paint I have ever run across. Ive owned lexus, audi, infiniti & mercedes and in the 4 months Ive owned this G I have had more rock chips, nicks, marks and all kinds of crap, more than any other car ever! Not to mention the rust issue coming through the paint, I have one spot on my fender and two on my hood. Im in the process of trying to figure out how to repaint the entire car a completely different color.
