Default Bye Bye Lexus.

Sorry guys. Have had my IS350 for about 1.5 yrs. Dealer is buying it from me and jumping into an 08 335 Beamer.

When the IS-F comes out end of the year, I might pick that up too as my toy.

Peace.

Congrats on your purchase!

"Bimmer" = BMW car.

"Beemer" = BMW motorcycle.

'08 335 Bimmer = You've got one hell of a car... Congrats!

Sell or trade it before the warranty expires. I sold two bimmers (330cic and 540i) recently. On each car, the SES light became the $500 light. I now have a Honda and a Lexus.

Looking at his sig, he doesn't plan on his driving his cars for more than few years anyway. I had my fun with my BMW in my 20s, but after it started breaking down right around the warranty, I decided be smart and go with Lexus.

+1, you'll get your *** chewed over on the BMW forums if you mess that up.

^^ Great advise....I have seen multiple break downs here in the greater Los Angeles area of Bimmer's & Mini's

In my opinion I consider the BMW brand:
"The Ultimate Un-reliable Driving Machine"

+1 with Honda and a Lexus..

You certainly blow through cars; the IS, now a 2008 Bimmer, then a 2008 MB, then maybe an IS-F. Your sig says you are in IT staffing for Financial Clients. Let's hope you give them better financial advice than what you practice, you are losing money like crazy flipping cars like that. From a financial standpoint it isn't a good way to go. Just being able to afford it doesn't make it wise financially. But I guess you know that ??
