You'll get E46 M3-like handling along with the amenities of having a Lexus.

an m3 will handle like the //M is supposed to and the IS350 will not get anything close to that... if you compare it to a 335i... maybe... but the //M... i won't say its even close

I wish I had that decision to make

I'd prolly DD the IS, but I'm sure I'll end up alternating every day

Which one is more fuel efficient? I usually want to take the fuel efficient want. The weekend car is the faster car which I can enjoy since there's rarely any traffic jams.

I still have my Honda Civic which I use a daily driver. I'm trying to sell it. Until it's sold, I'll take advantage of the gas mileage.

If I had both I'd DD the IS350, its more subtle looking, more comfortable, more fuel efficient, stands out less amongst the crowd, i swear ever since I got my IS I see them everywhere like civics! And for the M3, nice weekends with the wife/gf or ripping through the twisty roads. From the M3 standpoint it beats the 350 in every performance aspect and exclusivity.

Always been a fan of the e46 design, the design is timeless along with the e30 m3. Classics for sure.

I'm actually on the verge on either picking up a 05/06 M3 as a second car or trading the IS for a 2009 e92 M3.

maybe its the way I drive (which i think is normal), but the M3 is getting me better gas mileage than the IS350 in the city.
