Decision Made, Bought the IS350
After lurking here and at the BMW forums for 6 months, I finally chose the IS350 over the 335i Sedan. After reading what seemed like thousands of posts, the deciding factor boiled down to the fact that Lexus owners had far less complaints about their cars than BMW owners. (And lets not forget the run flat tires!)
I have owned 3 Series BMW's in the past, and for the most part have been happy with them, but there sure seems to have been a downward trend in quality and owner satisfaction.
Anyway, two days behind the wheel of the IS have taught me a couple of things. One is how easy it is to forget the "thrill" of a manual transmission, especially in rush hour traffic, and the other is that this car really does "Haul ***"

Lexus Test Driver
How much was the price difference cos i'd imagine you would have a few grand left over for other things. BMWs are way overpriced.
Could you help but noticed while driving the 335i, you're basicially still sitting in a 320. That was a MAJOR turndown for me while i was testing.
