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.

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!

im looking at those also
Would be a much better choice imo. The Lexus would be a very good choice as regarding to reliability. But when looking at these kind of cars, imo the driving pleasure should come first.
The 'best' car would be the M3 Sedan DCT (imo).
