Infiniti m45 2003-2004 

This has been my dream car for years. I remember being in high school when it came out. I just purchased one a couple months ago and I'm completely satisfied!

Honestly, I like the 2003-2004 M45 is more appealing and good looking than the newer M45 models.

I have a 2003 M45, with 2005 350Z 5 spoke rims/tires on it, it now drives like a complete dream, fast as hell and corners like a sports car...getuone

I owned an '03 M45 from 2005 to 2013. Things I like about the car: V-8 with 340 hp! Sleeper - looks like a nice 4 door sedan Lots of luxury features Good reliability Tires last a long time Great stability and traction A lot of car for the money (I paid $23K for a 28K mile 2 year old car) Things I would change: Seats are not the most confortable Manual shifter is very slow Cracked two exhaust manifold Burned about 1 qt oil every 1k mi. Didn't feel stable over 125 mph - front end gets light I sold mine to a friend for $5K. If it were to the public, I would've got $7.5K or so. Very inexpensive for such a nice car. I still own a BMW 540i sedan (282 hp), which I love, but I don't drive often. The reason is that things break often and are expensive to fix - minimum of $600, but most times in the $1,500 range. And it needs premium gas. I do love the handling and the luxury of the car. It's also very stable and feels sold at the top speed, even though it's only 128 mph (electronically limited), I also hate to admit it, but the reason I bought the M45 is that I did a drag race with the 540i and the M45 walked away from me. I miss the M45.

I had one in Emerald Mist Metallic Green/Wheat interior on a 3 year lease. One of the most unique cars I ever had, and to this day I still regret not buying it out at the end of my lease. It was in mint condition with only around 25k miles at the end, and I literally may have seen 5 of them in my exact color combo during the time I had the car. I still miss it today, and I've have many Infiniti cars/suvs since then but none compare to that M45!

Love this classic M45 body style!

Gentlemen and ladies, the VK45 like the VH45 engines are race engines toned down for street use.....key thing to remember with them is to not hop around in brands of oil.....I found out from the dealer where my 2004 was purchased the oil type (valvoline durablend 5w30) and I've continued with that same brand religiously. ..no oil burn or anything yet and it's just under 90k miles.... Don't use these cars for short hauls again as these motors were designed they had a tendency to create significant amount of carbon and it so use them for higher speeds than the stop and go traffic driving. Gr8 car and especially the mighty VK45 so plz take care of yours if you want them to last....they are the same engine that powers the drift champion here in the US (Nissan Z) and had also powered for years the Japanese Touring car championship ' s GT500 class non turbo GT-R. You have a legendary engine at hand so please embrace and take care of it. This car was all about its engine.....try mating with a manual 5 or 6 speed from a 300 or 350 Z and watch it fly in your M45

I got my 2003 M45 in 2022. My first fully electronic car and Japanese car. Wasn't sure what I was getting myself into. It was a bit of a basket case but only 73,000 miles on it. I was fortunate to find the Infiniti Manual online and was able to down load it to my computer. I will say that manual is one of the best I have ever seen and I have a cabinet full of them in my shop. Like I said, I had no idea of what I was getting into with this car. I figured there had to be enough Forums I could rely on. I have been working on cars for 35 years. But what blew me away was the computer network was just like a Building Automation Network I had been using from 1994 to 2008. I will admit I do like this car for the same reasons everyone else does. What I don't like is every part seems to cost $350+ when they break. Fast, fun car. Need to put a power steering rack in it and back on the road.

I have a 2004 m45 w about 141k miles, it literally does not leak a drop of fluid, and runs like a champ, feels new, shifts hard I plan on keeping it for a long time.

i saw one of these at the liquor store the like 3 weeks ago and had no idea what it was and couldnt get it out of my head since, i want this car so bad. Awesometacular video!

i am getting my brothers 03 in about a year, only 60k and garage kept. fastest car i ever drove

Who knew Chris Jericho could drive so good.... The mercedes e320cdi commercial bought me here😂

That car got better and better. Too bad they discontinued it

the only magnum that can beat the m45 is the srt8! I know because Ive got a 06 magnum RT and have been spanked twice by a 03 m45.stock for stock they will run a charger or magnum rt all day!dont get me wrong I love mopar but give the M its dues!

Asking price was $12,991 - I cracked them down to $11,500 for a one owner, full records with 73,6xx on the odo. back last year in April

Parts are on par with most Maxima parts. I owned a 2003 & sold it when I moved less than 5 mins walk from my office. I am now on market for 2004!!! This is an amazing car, trust me when I say it!!!

I love this car i have a 04 navy blue very rare car super fast smooth and best looking inside and out with the AC seats i love this car best ever.

3 nice cars

Superb video! I owed 2003 Infiniti M45 for over 7 years in Miami - pure pleasure with not even single issue and did trade it with over 60k for 2009 Infiniti M45x luxury - real pleasure and no issues, very happy and still enjoying - can't part with it! Planning to switch to Infiniti M56x in the future. I got 2011 Infiniti G37x luxury for my wife recently - love it! Thanks for video again! Always remember that fabulous car! Japanese are the best! Cheers.

I just picked one of these up the other day. Used, obviously, and it only cost 5 grand. Holy crap, "WHAT A CAR!" It needs some work, but this thing hauls ass! I am very excited to begin working on this car.

I'm a total m series fan

I agree w/quietbone which is why I'm buying ANOTHER 2004!!! Absolutely monster of a machine!!

Despite all the Ferraris and Lamborghinis of the world I'd happily take this over anything else 💀

Very nice car! I recently bought an 03 with 68k, black on black out of California and shipped it to Colorado. No oil burn and repainted about 3-4 years ago and wow what a beauty. The exterior panels are immaculate and so is the inside. I have replaced the rear trunck struts and will be replacing the left exhaust manifold. Seems like those are common repairs.

I love this video. I've loved it since the day Infiniti mailed me the DVD. However, it always annoyed the shit out of me how they wanted to portray a street race, yet had the M45 shift at 3,400rpm at 2:18.

I WANT ONE!!!!!! This is such a cool video!

Love this car i own a 91 q45 and it runs better than most newer vehicles. But damn the m45 looks so fuckin good......

Good things come to those who wait...Wait was over as April 2012, i picked up a lady owned, full serviced/maintained @ local infiniti dealer 2004 M45 (Black on Black) with mileage in the 74K range....It really is a gem & I will be on the lookout for another exact one.

I have one of these cars and I love it best model Infiniti has ever made

i own one, great car! I love it!

i love my M45, i just wish it wasn't so quiet, i want my V8 car to make a little noise

love my 04 m45

Thanks for that correction Bryan...

I WANT THIS CAR SO BAD!

this car is perfect for straight line performance, but do NOT attempt to turn and burn corners in it.

love my rare white one.

For some reason this reminds me of the movie Crank, but in slo-mo.

I need one ...

might very well be my next car. I want something with luxury and speed , not just speed and random tedious maintanance. Back in 03-04 this car was and still is better than chryslers 300c/ charger rt is now and you will be surprised how cheap they are. Im definitely getting one matter of fact, just hope I can update the gps.

Kinda cool how they based the race off a scene from 2 Fast 2 Furious. 2️⃣💨2️⃣😠

@JesdaG That's not true.. I love my G37 and FX35.. two very spirited cars with great aerodynamics due to it's exterior shape.

It will be my next M indeed, in due time, and ofcourse a Black on Black....Too bad no more V8 coming of this type of FR sedans coming around anytime soon after the outgoing M56....

im just learning about muscle cars. what are the other two cars? Camaro and Charger?

I always thought these M45's were nice cars and they remind me of the luxury cars of the 1970s (which I took as a good thing), too bad sales of these cars were not a major success

Does anyone know the name of the song in this video, Great music/song but no music credit???? at the end of the video, anyone ???

i wish i could buy one of those M45's they look very elegant. Does any one know the music being played?

I live in South Georgia. I can take you to atleast 5 of these things wasting away in people's yards.

@JesdaG how are your pants, good sir?

Look up the music in the End Credits...

does anyone know the list of voice commands for this car? i have one but can’t find it anywhere

hey are the parts expensive on this cars guys?

Anyone has one I want this to be my great drift car

guys!! i wanna know who is playing the music on the last part o f this video! please who knows

@eds13 Nicely pressed!

Only.... at the 3500rpm that he upshift at, the vk45de probably has like... 160hp.

What's with the Harley exhaust sound for the Dodge? Stupid video, the M45 only runs 14.8 in the quarter and it's another example of having to buy a luxury car to get a V8. Im glad the Magnum came out a year later to school the M45 and with less of the needless add-ons.

Eh look nice but aren't that fast I spanked one in the s13 sr completely stock....

As awesome as the car is, do some googling to see WHY they are so "inexpensive" for a 10 year old Infiniti. In my area (Dallas) '03 M45 cost the same as a '98 Lexus GS400 with nearly twice the miles (and the same muscle). A lot of it has to do with reliability, sadly. Infiniti just isn't up there, at least cost wise. Malfunctioning fuel sender/fuel guage/instrument cluster -- $$$$, burning oil on just about ever 2nd car made (like most VQ and VK motors) in excess of 1 quart per 1000 miles...Malfunctioning cruise control collision detection radar, etc. All neat features but not enough longevity on these. I was pissed when I found these complaints out but not too surprised. I decided at the time, a 1998 245,000mile GS400 was more to what I wanted for the price (proven reliability -- minus a few known fixes). Solid reliability, yes, simpler but not much in the way of things to go wrong. But if I could again, I would definitely look for a well taken care of 2004 M45, as apparently they have less of the electronic issues of the initial 2003 models.

@JesdaG FA SHAO

This car is truly one of a kind. Everything from Infiniti that followed it is bulbous, fat, and ugly.

Just beat one twice 5 min ago. 40-85 he kept up (slowly losing ground) respectably, 85+ I blew him. second race identical. nice car though........ 08' vw GLI APR stage 1.

the guy in the charger couldn't be any gayer

Terrible car!!
