Hey all,

Looking at purchasing a used G37 sedan (just lost my G35 in an accident ).

I've been lurking through a number of threads and websites doing some research, but havent had any luck finding somewhere that lists out differences clearly. I know from 2010 to 2011 there was a bumper change. I did read somewhere that the 2012 model fixed the leaky gasket issue.

I'd love if someone could share some more details on the biggest changes (though I know there were not many).

Thanks!

The gasket is really the only difference. Not much changed after the exterior refresh.

And frontend update was 2009->2010

I thought the leaky gasket issue was resolved before the 2011 model?

Epiphany

Went to the metal gasket in 2012.

So just curious if I have a Certified Pre Owned 2011 still under warranty. Would the gasket be replaced under warranty? TSB, or recall?

Epiphany

I believe if it fails it would be covered under your powertrain warranty. They wouldn't replace it if it doesn't fail for free unless it's on your dime though.

any idea which month's production this began? thx

That's the million dollar question, doesn't seem to be a firm build date that's been identified, at least from all I've read.

It does seem that all 2012 builds are in the clear but whether some late 2011 would also be ok, that

This is why I bought a 2013...no worries.

Are there any major differences between the 2012 and 2013 models?

Epiphany

Nope, same car.

They removed the Music Box feature in 2013.

You can find out the build date by asking the dealer. The dealer can check the vin and tell you when and where it was built and shipped to. Most cars are built the year before they go on sale. A 2012 model could be built in 2011 but sold as 2012 for marketing purposes.

is the gasket visible with a flashlight? my car is an '11 with a build date sticker of 7/2011. I could check to see what it looks like...
