BMW 330i wasn't looking at anything else, but the 350 won hands down.

The 250 hehe...Actually I was first lookin at the TL and like it, as it's a step up from my 95 Maxima SE. Then the IS caught my sight....I always had the BMW 3 series in the back of my head as an option, but for some reason I didnt want to be put in the Beamer group...not saying anything about people who do own beamers, I just wanted somethin different.

Acura TL, just an all around good car for the price, was on top of my list since 04 until the IS350 came out

BMW M3 and Cadillac CTS-V, always thought I would want a Corvette until I could afford it. Not that hot and bothered by them now. I almost waited for the '07 LS's, they will probably be out by the time I get my 350.

The BMW 3 series was basically my other choice. I was also considering a USED E46 M3. I looked at the Z/G35 but quickly dismissed those cars. Also looked at used 91/92 NSX's, MKIV Supras, Mercedes C Class

Used M3 (2002-2003)
New BMW 330i
Infiniti G35

I was really close to buying the used M3. Found one in great shape, but ended up going for the IS350.

Acura TL, navigation system is really good. But the IS looks better in appearance, my wife made fun of me when I told her I was considering an acura. She said I would look better in a Lexus, an acura reminds her of a honda. Glad I made the right decision by marrying her and chosing a Lexus. LOL
