Question about paddle shifters on the M37
From what I gather based on the research I've done, the only way to get an Infiniti M37 with paddle shifters is to buy one with the Sport package (I.e., an M37S). Is this correct?
If so, that's kind of unfortunate since used 2011/2012 M37S's seem to be so much harder to find... and significantly more expensive than used M37's that virtually any other options package (for example, used M37's with the Deluxe Touring package seem to be commanding prices that are hardly any higher than M37's that don't have any other options packages aside from the Premium package).

Why the need for paddle shifters? It's a M not a G coupe, put it in sport mode and forget about it. I'd take the touring package over paddle shifters any day ... the touring package takes a decent interior to a stunning interior.

You're right, though; the Deluxe Touring package makes the M's interior look very nice. Just out of curiosity, how does the car shift or drive differently when it's in "Sport" mode than when it's in "Regular" mode?

One of my relatives recently got an Acura RDX with paddle shifters, and I've had a chance to drive it a few times and test them out. Believe it or not, it gets kind of addicting after you get used to having them there at your disposal.

Thanks. At first, I really wanted the paddle shifters (they're fun!), but since the Sport package seems to add anywhere from $5k - $8k to the cost of a used M37, I think I'll probably just go for one with the Deluxe Touring Package, which doesn't seem to add much value, price-wise.

I recently got an M37, and opted not to go for the sport model because of the 4 wheel steering. I'm coming from a 6mt G sedan, so I prefer the control over shifting, and will be doing a OEM paddle shifter install which is about $700 for just the parts.

I hear ya. I like the extras that come with the sport package (shifters, black lights, bbk, wheels) but you have to do what's right for you.
