So I currently have a deposit on the IS-F, but I will be honest with you guys, that E92 looks awesome as well! One of my biggest turn offs about BMW has always been the price. Even though no official word on the base price of the IS-F has been announced, it is likely to be cheaper than the 08 M3. Maybe even as much as $10K cheaper!
I wanted to post this poll and get some ideas from the rest of the club. I have to admit, compared to other forums, CL members have been the least biased folk out there. I guess our cars reflect our class!

edit: misspelled two in the last option... sorry!

I've always pondered what I would do if I won a mega lottery... First purchase would be a Ferrari F430 followed by a M5 (people mover), and then maybe an IS-F

Porsche 911 GT3 over anything else. The best handling car in the world.

I think the IS-F is going to be an awsome car.

Even if the M3 handles slightly better or is a tad faster, that interior is laughable at that price. The M3 image and heritage is great but BMW said they plan to sell 100,000 of them, so they won't even be rare anymore.

IS-F ftw!

GT3-RS ftmfw!

Where is the Mercedes C63 AMG? If money was no object, I would get it. Why? Lexus has not told me enough about the IS-F yet. I already know enough about the C63 that I would buy it tomorrow if one were available. Lexus is so secretive about their IS-F, I am beginning to question their motives.

Money no object? Ferrari F-40. Twin turbos, high revving V-8, absolutely show stopping looks and no compromises - all business! And it's every bit as wide as it looks with over 400 hp and only 2200 lbs.

The new Porshce GT2. I would take that over any other car in the world. I am not someone who cares if it catches everyones eye at the club or not. I buy a car of that caliber for me and no one else.

I would definitely go with the IS-F due to the fact that it will be rarer (is that a word) and cause of the reliability of a Lexus. M3 is a fantastic car but Im afraid of problems and its dime a dozen.

OK, I think I screwed up with this poll. I should have asked for cars only similar in class to the IS-F and E-92. lol.

Money no object... 1930 Bugatti Royale in "mint" condition and running. That's REALLY unique...
