IMHO:
The IS-F says "look at me.. I'm a Lexus and I can go fast... see the spoilers, scoops and exhaust? I AM fast and that proves it!!!"
The M3 says... "I'm just another BMW.. I look a bit sportier than your average three series and I'm all about business, I don't need wings, spoilers and the such to prove I'm fast..just try me"![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

Compare to the M3, the IS-F will be a lot more isolated. Tire wise, the IS-F have the same sidewall height as the IS350, just 1" bigger in diameter, ok the rear tire is slightly thiner.
Suspension wise, being low doesn't mean it is stiff, there are many OEM lowered sport suspension that have a compliance ride. All BMW sport suspensions are very low, Porsche 911 Turbo, AMG cars.......they all got very smooth ride. I am sure Lexus would not give any of their cars a kidney busting ride

Lexus REALLY emphasise that point in all their press release on the IS-F. The car is sporty yet completely balance and civilize. It will not have a harsh ride or a loud exhaust

Of course if your idea of a smooth ride is a stock IS/GS/LS, then obviously the IS-F will ride a little firmer. Everyone have a different standard of what is smooth, what is harsh.
