My Ride: 2002 325i - SOLD 2006 525i - PCD in August '05 1999 CVPI - My work car

I saw and sat in this car at the recent Auto Show we had in Tampa and I liked it! The interior dash lights blue and it is impressive! I had to choose between the IS350 and the E60 530i. I know there is a 20k price difference, but I ended up going with the E60 in my sig. The Lexus has some power too, very nice but no BMW. Doesn't like curves and isn't as smooth, but has some great power at 300+hp!

Yea but why does it matter? because when you come to a corner, you'll definately see that IS350 in your rear view mirror as it can't even beat the 330i with almost 50 horses less on a track! so i guess Lexus is turning into another MB with hotrods for stop lights, not bad though.
Just because IS350 lose to 330i in handling department, doesn't necessarily mean it would lose to 5-series also. Remember, it has a much smaller body, size does matter.
