* window motor going bad
* door lock mechanism going bad
* window seals going bad (the Seal on the 2003 Toyota Celica is 10x better than ours).
* 50-70k - Spark plug gasket will start to leak oil. Commonly on the #6 plug (cost 400+ to replace). As high as 1k at the dealerships.
* clutch pedal sticking
* sunroof making "popping" sounds whenever you go over a bump
* seats start to rock back and forth (rails starts to go bad).
* car will give you a hard time filling up the tank
* rear axle clicking
* compression rod/bushing start to bust (Infinti issued a revised bushing/rod).
* oil consumption on all models. More commonly on the rev-up. But some 5AT drivers have complained about this issue
------
The G35 has over 70 TSB's and over 8 major recalls. Latest one being the Air bags and the Radiator fan.

I wouldn't trade the Infiniti's potential problems for the BMW's 
You're not likely to have ALL those. You're most likely to have problems with the radio/cd changer though (which is the same circuit board as the AC)
Do a site search for hvac problems and you'll see what I'm talking about.

.... Had I read some of these lists I would have never bought a G35. I've had none of these issues, but you forgot one....poor quality brakes. Which can be resolved by using aftermarket pads like Hawks rather than OE which are big time junk....

I second the question about the oil from spark plug. Is this something that would be noticed/mentioned at service (like the 60K service)? Or something like oil dripping on garage floor?
I'm at 68500, and the only issues I've noticed is the seat rail issue, which I've had fixed twice under warranty. Still have 3 months remaining on extended warranty.
The only other "issues" I've had are battery replaced (affects pretty much all cars), front brakes (wear), tires (wear), windshield (rock), paint (parking lots, other cars run red lights).
