The rest of my family is all Lexus so I've had some time with them. Performance wise, I can't speak, but the IS-F is a beast. What would attract me over a BMW would be the interior and the design of everything. Lexus always does a good job; I think the iDrive is a piece of shit. Lexus is so much easier to maneuver through, and that's a huge plus for me.

if you have money to burn get both of them and use the IS-f as daily driver

when it comes down to it alot is money.. money is the root of all evil... and if you have enough to get what you want.. then cheers (hate that word not sure why i said it) if not, you have to look at other options.. i saw that is-f on a lift at the car show in javits.. they were letting people shift through the gears.. seemed fast.. but it IS an upgraded toyota(IMO) and although fast.. like 4 hundred and something horsepower.. its not a bmw.. youve been spoiled and nothing will ever compare.. i was gonna use a different analogy, but not here.. lol

Well, if you can go M5, I think you have the answer. The rest don't compare.

i walk in to the lexus dealer here in manhattan.. i saw the is-f i the window so i just walked in to take a look... long story short
.. i cant belive how this car is.. i drove this thing and all i can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!... its alot cheaper then the bimmer.. the only thing thats killing me is the handeling part.. feels like the rear wants to just slid out from under me.. i took on the west side and gave it a spanking.. at about 80 the sales guy was getting worried i saw it in his face.. as i got to about 100 110 he must of riped the lether seats on the passenger side... but in all really nice car.. fast.. good looking.. but not a bimmer.. but i am looking in to this car... just wana get some feed back on this car and what some you guys think... thanks

I WAS JUST WALKIN BY THE STEALER.. OPPS DEALERSHIP SAW THE CAR AND WENT IN.. IT REALLY CHANGE MY MIND ON EVERYTHING.. sry for the caps... first off the price difference is so great between the two.. thats a big plus.. and with a nice drop to the lexus it will give a little better handaling.. wheels ext ecu re-map. and some personal touche`s ill still be way under the price of the M5...
