Well, I never said the 335 wasn't a great car to begin with, just overrated. It's reliability doesn't come close, and performance wise it is excellent, but overrated. I just got my 350 as well and was in the same boat as you debating between the two and decided to go with the IS because overall, it is the better vehicle. And the interior in the BMW 3 series really needs an serious update besides standard wood trim, it looks nearly identical as the previous generation model, which isn't bad also by itself, but sucks big time compared to the IS interior.

I have 2 things to say....
First: I already ordered my Tanabe exhaust and Fsport intake..hehehe
Second: I did a couple of runs today with on my car, and pluged the VECTOR FX2 on it (measures 0-60 and 1/4 mile times) I got 4.98 from 0-60 and 13.4 on my 1/4 mile...the temperature was on the 70's...
I will post a topic with it I have videos, they have no sound though hehe.

Very, very, Very good.
Told ya I was right..(not directing to you) The Lexus brochure states conservative number of 5.3 sec 0-60 because they based it on normal setting with an average Joe driver. With Power settings/techniques you have done the result is very very realistic. I saw you ran 13.35 sec quarter mile. That is exactly what I was expecting. Told ya the IS350 is a 13.3~ 13.4 sec car.
With a little more practice you are looking at 4.89 sec and 13.33 sec!

I guess im not an avergae JOE driver hehe. we ll see how the intake and exhaust help. You should get a Vector FX or gmeter, or dashawk
