I guess the OP had quirks with the car, but the 2-door Maxima comment is pretty ignorant, to say the least.

At any rate, good luck with the fuel pump and turbo's on that BMW. And a bit of advice, from experience myself, NEVER buy the first year of any new car. It's just asking for trouble, which is why I have a 2010 model.

Clutch chatter, and it's normal with these cars. I have a 10 6MT model, I have friends with the 08 6MT model, and it's normal. Nothing to be concerned.

SpartanG37S - thanks for letting me know, much appreciated!! I'm getting used to Infiniti noises so I don't know what's normal vs abnormal. Plus, I just wanted to make sure that it had nothing to do with my transmission just being replaced. Thanks again!!

This is not clutch chatter. Clutch chatter is from the clutch disc sticking and slipping on the flywheel, due to the springs in the hub, or a clutch that was not properly broken in.

True clutch chatter also is only audible when releasing the clutch to start vehicle forward motion.
