U crazy if u done do that

@4MATICbenz the transmission is an old school 5 speeder, whose 5th gear is very tall. Your 530i has another gear on this car (a 6 speed), which is why it's faster in the hi speed range.

I'm happy with my 03 M45 when do you really need it to go over 100?? Once in a great while.. M45 is a muscle car with brains and luxury. Not a AWD turbo 12k redline rally racing vehicle.

very slow

@4MATICbenz They're just tuned that way. Many get that fixed. I believe it's either just with a tune or you have to buy some cheap chip and then get it tuned.

And no. top speed aint everything, especially for my 45 year old ass, but there are those days, you know? So the choice is still up in the air for me, M45, 2003/4 S8 so I can pretend I'm in Ronin. or a 2001+ 540i sport 6 speed/ M5... I'm thinking the Bavarian since the last one I owned was a '68 2002 and I don't care what anyone says...it was a well taken care of pile of shit in my book. The M45 after 90mph or so is like it's running into a K-Mart with Molasses walls. Opinions?

I've been waffling around for 4 years to see if I really really want one of these 2003/04 M45's. Driven quite a few; even like the 2000/2001 Q's. For a Japanese car this era M45 is just a hell of a looker....however. Top end just doesn't seem right for a adv. horsepower of 340. Twice now, yes twice I've destroyed a M45 on the other end with my 171k, 1991 240 horsepower Audi V8 quattro. First time he killed me off the line to 125, but later days after 130ish. Yes the old Audi are well..shit..but

@4MATICbenz It's probably the tall gears from 3rd up, which helps with fuel economy. Keep in mind that they usually have a 4-5 speed transmissions and they have a pretty high top speed, so in those gears they'll accelerate slower. It goes for any car....

@lekocaj23 ... That's funny, because I've beaten a 745 iL with the first gen Q45. You might have mods though....

@4MATICbenz with some tuning im sure u cud fix that
Okay, im finding a similiar trait among many Infiniti/Nissan models acceleration (CVT,auto, or even manual). They accelerate with impressive full potential from about 0-100, and then once you get into triple-digit speeds the car's acceleration gets very slow. It cant be the aerodynamics. For instance, this car is faster than my 530i by a full 2 sec 0-100mph, yet my 530i gets from 100-120 2 sec faster than this. Doesnt make sense. The Altima and Maxima have this similiar weird acceleration....
