umm that's strange. Have you ever taken your car in for check up? I heard that they have some defective tires on the IS. That might be it.

If you are talking about 130mph, yes, the car started shaking a bit compare to the X5 4.8i i drove the other day. But 70 should be fine.

I think you should take the car in.

LOL!!! Now that's funny.

STIG

just curious, what do you drive?

base on your post history, you only talked about 335i. I am assuming you have one.

I love 335i tho. good for you if you have 335i. I would have bought 335i over IS350 if the car was out a year ago. But 330i didn't do for me.

now it's a smoothness war..jeezus christo guys.

NovaIS350

we can't compare smoothness from a V6 to that of an Inline anything. apples to shoes guys.

I said guys twice..god I'm such a dork.

I've debated on whether I should. If past history is any indication, I'm certain that lexus is going to dismiss the issue, saying that "they all do that". And you know, I might actually believe them, as our ES330 is the same way. Literally all over the road. It would probably be advantageous to find another 250 with the same summer tires on it to try out on my own.

If we're not going to have discussions and debates over cars, then what's left to talk about? We'd get pretty bored if every thread was about "which wheels should I buy?" and "how much should I lower my IS?".

'02 M3. Perhaps I'll pick up a 335i in the spring, however. I thought about the is350 last fall. But did not like it quite enough. 335i is more my style

Oh, your car must be in the shop every few weeks? I heard it here on CL, so it must be true?

NovaIS350

true, but debates on things we can't prove or justify is like baking a cake and throwing it away. I would say this is more of a force feeding of opinions rather than an actual debate. But such is the nature of the internet, everyone is a professional know-it-all on the web. I am no different. You do have to admit, these so called "debates" often turn out to be ridiculous "whose **** is bigger?" dog fights.

I see Chris Bangles step-sons are out of elementary school early to post their pro-BMW is god bias here.....

Let me guess, its about "soul"...(rollseyes)

Finger on the ban trigger....gonna drink some Guiness, flip a coin, and see who might go.....

**runs for cover.

You'd ban someone for having a calm debate/discussion about cars? On an automobiling message board?

I usually got a ES350/ES330 as a loner every time i have my IS350 service.

Compare to ES, IS is much more ( i mean a lot more) stable. If your IS's road manners are acting the same way as ES, then your IS have a problem.

My IS350 also had an the problem that the car kept going to the left before and they usually dismiss the problem as well. But I ask the tech guy to sit in my car and show him how it is in my car and I requested another IS350 (on the lot) to drive and show him how it doesnt constantly going to the right.

NovaIS350

I think it was more of a warning. just in case people start flaming til this forum crashes.

We actually had the same issue on the ES, where it constantly pulled to the left. The dealer refused to replace the tires, and instead just rotated them to the back. Not a lot I could do without starting WW3.
However, the issue with the IS is a little different. It wanders in either direction, in a very inconsistent manner. I don't see this as being an issue with radial pull.
