New G37 sedan owner

Hello, just got my self a G37 sedan sport (appearance package). I love it so far and am going to start a family with it. I owned a Mini Cooper S 09 before this with a few things done to it (tune, exhaust, boost tubes, drilled and slotted rotors, etc..) . It was quick but I think the g37 is quicker. I had to sell it once I found out that my girlfriend was pregnant. Here are some pics

That's a G37s, not a G37..lol

Congrats. The S isn't an appearance package. It comes with sport Seats, Akebono 4 piston Calipers, Sports Suspension and limited slip diff. I am guessing you also have the dvd based nav, which means you can play movies when parked.

It's a confusing way they designate the models. ALL 6MTs are Sports, but there's also the Journey w/ Sport pkg. that has all the good upgrades of the 6MT but with the AT. There is a Sport appearance pkg, but that is the AWD version.
Congrats on getting the "good" one & welcome to the site!

Thank you! Now is there any thing about these cars that I should keep up with? For example my Mini Cooper I used to have to check the oil every week or so because it was a turbo car.

I'd just do a good check of the service logs and make sure everything is up to date based on the mileage of your car. If the G was serviced at an Infiniti dealer they should be able to give you the history by running the VIN#. Also there is some AT updates up until 2012, if yours is a 2012 or older I'd check to see if the latest TSB (Tech Service Bulletin) has been performed. And FWIW, whenever I get a used car I'm pretty quick to change the oil

I recently got an oil change, 5w30 full synthetic with a filter and I'll have to check the service info too. Other wise it sounds like it's a normal car when it comes to maintenance. The first normal one I've ever owned ( first car was a Mercedes and then I got the mini). Also what about the door lock actuators? My driver side ones are messed up they won't work with the fob but can use the hard key. I ordered the back drivers door but am waiting for the front because it seems expensive. Is there anything I can do to fix other than replace the actuator?

Since you just got it I'd go back to the dealer and see if they can help with that. What year & mileage on your G?

Yeah, I'd take it back and see if they can make it right, even if it's out of warranty (and shouldn't be off by much) they may make a goodwill service on it, definitely worth a shot, especially since you just got it.
