If you are already thinking about mods to the IS-F, then i guess you've made up ur mind....but if you mentioned you can get into an M5, at this point you're comparing apples to oranges. ![Nono](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/nono.gif)

Here's what I always asked myself when I was considering a different car after the M5: How will I feel when I see an E60 go by me on the road or when one pulls up next to me at a light? Will I feel regret or not? My answer was always REGRET. Once I determined that answer to my question, the rest was easy....well, not easy, but at least I knew I wanted an E60. Figuring out which one was a bit harder.

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

Joe, if you can truly get an M5 if you want, then what are we talking about here? If you want to come in at a lower price point, then maybe the lexus is for you. Personally, I would take an M5, 550 or a 535 over that IS-F anyday

im a big lexus fan, i have owned 3 and there fine cars, here in england they are more expensive than BMW and in my oppinion are a more prestegious brand.
i love my E60, but i also love lexus...they are built so well.
good luck with your choice.

I really can't afford the M5 rigth now but honestly....if I had your options....it would be an M5 in a heartbeat.
Lexus is Toyota trying to compete with BMW. I am new to this and I LOVE my Bimmer
Also..........a BIMMER just says a whole lot more than any Japanese car does. It has set the bar for class, prestige drivability and power all wrapped into one.
