I don't know how the interior quality is of the Infiniti M45. But, my aunt has a G35 and the interior in that thing is wearing down a lot. The driver seat has a bunch of scuff marks from her getting in and out of the car. Not like its because of her weight, cuz she's only 110lbs. She rarely uses it since she prefers driving her other car, a 92' LS400, on a daily basis. BTW the LS seats have less scuff marks than the G35 and looks a lot better. Qualitly control... =P

My Infinitis have held up as well as the '03 RX300 we decided to give to my mother a couple of months ago.

Speaking of leather, my '99 GS had a drivers side leather problem (cracking after 25k), and the dealer had to replace the seat cover. Am hoping my new GS won't have this same problem.

Guys don't start the 'pre-flaming' please. dseag2's statement was purely factual based on his own experiences and not negative.

Run circles how?
You obviously have not driven an 530 based on this comment. I don't think people buy BMWs for the reliability, that would be pretty stupid, but rather buy them for the driving excitement it gives to the driver.
