the is-f is bigger then the m3
Not true. The back seat of the IS-F is tiny. The M3 sedan has a lot more room. Even the coupe I think.

Where are you located? I've been to two different dealers in SoCal, none of which I bought the car from and they both give me free loaners. I'm not even under warranty. That seems a little weird to me

if you need trunk space then get x5. why spend that money on isF? even though it is fast, they are not as safe or durable as bmw. i mean dont get lexus just because you dont have loaner car. loaner car is not from bmwusa. they are operated by each dealer so it is totally up to each dealer whether they would provide you or not.

My Friend has an IS-F and the car is a beast. We took a road trip to AC and it was just so smooth and comfortable. But IMO if your buying a peformance car I wanna feel and hear everything. The Lexus is def more comfortable than the M3 or C63 but still Id rather have a M3 anyday. Lexus just has this old man feel to it and I cant stand that. Get the M3 you wont be dissapointed. Dont let bad service judge you on your BMW.

Hate the horrific Playstation look of the exhausts of the IS-F. You can't take a car serious with those exhaust tips?
If you want to switch to another brand, consider the C63 AMG!
