M3 is a better handling car on the track
IS-F is pretty capable too and more than enough for daily driving
but since its for daily driving, Lexus reliability PWNS all!

My big problem with the IS-F is under 3500 rpms the car sounds like a mouse. It is easily the car that can ride in stealth mode and not be noticed but who wants that for 60+ thousand dollars? I don't understand these individuals who drove both the M3 and IS-F and chose the IS-F for reasons other than price and supposed reliability. You will spend more on maintenance for an IS-F than a M3. 4 years of paid maintenance are taken care of with the purchase of that car. Someone please give me another reason besides those two.

and to be very honest? i wouldn't want my car to drone left and right when i am cruising, even if i were to get a sport car like that today. i want a car where when i am cruising, it's quiet. and then it screams when i floor it. that's perfect.
i have been thinking a sport car. i drove the e46 m3 and that car gives me a headache. cruising at freeway speed and the engine roar is so loud. i drove the e63, when cruising the engine is very quiet. only wakes up when i floor it. that's perfect
you don't need to understand other people, it's their choice.

My sentiments exactly. That's what I prefer in a daily driver.
