You may already have, but try a different dealer.
If you have gone to the dealer more than 3 times for the same problem, you could qualify for a lemon. Then get what ever car you like.
If you like the IS-F, then get it. I personally think it is the worst in that segment. Not saying it is a bad car, because it isn't.

im in the process right now for the buy back
and i was asking about the isf because the 08 is the first year the car came out and with me buying the 535 in the first year and having all these problems i want to make sure i avoid them.
my dealer treats me like crap for someone who bought a 60,000 dollar car. ive called bmwna and they dont seem to care that much. so im on to a different car company.

If you are worried about first year models, check out the C63. The 6.2 liter engine has been tested on the road for years, since that powerplant is in their other AMG models.
