I know, it looks pretty good don't it? I think it'll look even better in person.
The twin exhaust = twin turbo >300hp engine.
The IS350 coming in at 306hp woke up the sleeping giant(BMW).

More of the same from BMW.

Frankly, I think the car looks tired and boring.

No bimmer fan here.

What are we to say about a 300 hp twin turbo in a Bimmer...is that best they got, fifteen years after Toyota delivered a conservative 320 hp twin in the Supra. My SC300 2jz-gte delivers north of 350 hp for about $35,000 less invest and is certainly a match and surpasses it in many important areas with the Supra suspension and brake transplant. See you on the highway in my rear view mirrror.

the 350 might have woken bmw to quit *****footing around with their 3 series. but the 350 still owns the 3 series imo. it won't break down as fast, has a much better designed interior, and doesn't need a turbo setup.

oh yea and the body looks like **** on the 3

The 3 looks very much like a BMW (duh).

There is nothing too different. However, if you love the BMW style, it is a beautiful car.

I, however, am partial to the IS (style and everything else).
