wow nice thank you for listing everything for me. my main concern was the bluetooth, i heard that 05 did have it then i heard they didnt. so it looks like an 06 is what i am gonna go for then.

one thing does anyone know if the older spoiler mounts the same as the new? i like the older spoiler better.

 

headlights, taillights, spoiler, front bumper, and seatbelts.........big improvment

 

What the other guy said and also slight change in center console and dash(cosmetics)...

 

It's revised.. not new.. meaning there are subtle differences. I did cut and paste from the 350-tech site but, I own a 06 and there are subtle differences... mostly small things like lights. As for the memory seats differences. What is meant there is that I don't believe the 05 has the ability to change seat and stearing column positions based on which intelligent key is used on the car. You are given two and each can be set up for different drivers so that when they get in the car the seats and stearing column automatically moves. The 06 has this.

As for what nje11 stated. You are correct, the 05 does not have bluetooth. That is a specific 06 feature.

I did not like the 06 or 05 spoilers.... so, I am not sure if they have the same hole pattern.

Oh, and Dofu, the front bumper is different... look down at the lower grill area..

Anyway, go http://www.infinitihelp.com/Infiniti...escription.htm and you can see some of the differences. You can switch the years up top

 

how many different spoilers are there? i know 06 is different? is 05 different from the earlier ones too?

 

Theres only two spoilers, 03, 04 and 05 have the same one, 06 has a new one.

Also the standard steering is engine speed sensitive 15.8:1 ( or close ) not vehicle speed sensitive with 15.1:1 ratio as someone posted above. If you want the vehicle speed sensitive steering with quicker ratio you have to get the rear active steer package.

 

thanks helps a lot!

now i just have to work a good price with the dealer, he tried to tell me i would be looking at like $700 a month which didnt sound right.

 

I like the 03 older style tail lights better than the new ones anyone else? I want the 06 headlights, they look very nice! Pricy upgrade tho, so I put on overlays instead.

Hey I saw a new coupe, must have been 06, what's the little silver thing next to the reverse light? Its on the drivers side only.

 

It's a button to open the trunk. I like the '06 reverse light shape better, but I think I like the '03-'05 tail light LED configuration better. I have an '04.
