I thought this metal trim was supposed to be scratch resistant and not some flimsy fake???

Are you talking about the trim on the interior part of the door (near the handle to close door from inside) or the exterior part of the door?

 

i dont like how my seat is bubbling up

 

I talking about that insert piece they put on the inside grab handle. Not the handle to open your door but the solid handle. That's the metal I scratch.

 

I think it be Plastic. Should be Washi like the rest of the interior trim.

 

Whatever it is there is at least one pretty good scratch on it.

 

1. Interior should be have the same aluminum finish as 2006 G35 Coupe.
2. Passenger seatbelt makes noise, have to move it up every time.
3. Some tiny rattling/buzzling noise from the back of the interior.
4. Exhaust sound, old one was way better.
5. A little quicker acceleration, at least the same as 335i BMW.

 

First, I thought this thread is all about "What don't you like about your G"? 2nd, I think you should've just stick with the G35.

 

Actually that happens to all the car that came with those door handle such as Lexus, Bimmer, etc....

 

yup yup.... ^

 

For those that it is not too late..having clear bra material applied there- behind door handle (outside & in) solves problem.

 

I thought about that but I figured by being mindful of what i do and it won t scratch and it hasn't. i'm waiting for someone to make a washi paper insert for it.

 

Does the rest of the interior (non-wood based ones) have the washi paper? If so, is it making a difference? I've heard decent things about it.

 

Regarding the blind spot - I saw a post on another forum about adjusting the mirrors. I wish I could give the original poster credit but I can't find it. He went into great detail but basically you adjust the side mirrors to point away from the car so they view down the road behind you. His method was to put your cheek against the side window and adjust the driver's side mirror so that you can barely see the side of the car. Do the same for the right side with your head in about the middle of the car.
Perhaps this is obvious to everyone else but it was a revelation to me. It takes some getting used to because you see more motion in the side mirrors. But now there is a seamless transition. When a car passes me on the left I see them in the rear view, then, before they are gone from the rear view I see them clearly in the side mirror and then they are well within my peripheral vision out the side window. After a few weeks I now have no more hesitation making lane changes.

 

It works great, only problem I have is when I am not moving and trying to change lane. It's a pain but I can live with it.

 

1) Not enough torque
2) Too heavy
3) Lack of nav features while driving
4) Trunk space is not great-I knew this going in so it is not really an issue
5) Bose sound system is not great
6) Gas mileage
7) Seat indentations

Overall, it is a significant improvement over my 04 G35 6spd sdn. There are more positives than negatives w/ my 37. I am crossing my fingers that the 10 or 11 g?? will have direct injection w/ a turbo.
