Good eyes! Yes Roebling is my home track. Road Atlanta is my all-Time favorite. Sebring is the track that left me befuddled. And the Firm is the track I will never return to, if I can help it. I have a few more on the list that I’m aiming for but I need to get the F in shape first. I’m here to find a pumpkin for my OSG Transplant.

Default Finally pulled the trigger

After more than a year of lurking snd searching, I finally pulled the trigger on the F.

—it’s a 2011 with nav/Ml and sunroof
—Star fire pearl with black interior
—79k miles
—x force cat back exhaust with varex mufflers
—interior and powertrain are solid
—body has a couple rough spots that I need to touch up (like the ends of the rear bumper cover bring loose or popped out at the wheel well)

Good Afternoon Folks,

Been lurking for a while; got my F in 2019 with about 150,000kms. Just got the car back from Rafi @ RR Racing and took it right into storage for the winter. Quite a journey with this car so far, many lessons learned (I'll make a separate thread for that).Previous rides in the last 7 years were; 04' 330i ZHP6MT, 01' 530i Touring, 06' M5 SMG, 18' TLX Aspec AWD, 18' Type R.

For now,
1. Ext: Black
2. Nav/ML
3. Int: Black
4. "Series II" was the package name; included parking sensors, Mark Levinson as the highlight features
4.ii) Mods: KW V3, PPE EL Headers, RR Racing Intake, RR Racing Quad Tip/Catted, RR Racing Tune, RR Racing Oil Cooler Trans Cooler, Radiator, RR Racing AOS, RR Racing Engine Mounts, RR Racing USRS, RR Racing chassis Brace, SS Brake lines
5. Had two small CarFax incidents
6.




7. Sunroof
8. Ontario, Canada!
9. Gallery link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...e8?usp=sharing

Hey all another new owner, from Indianapolis. It's a 2009, Black on Black, has NAV & Sunroof, XForce Varex Exhaust, 18x9.5 WedsSport SA-72Rs. Currently has stock rear suspension and Swift lowering springs on Bilsteins up front, but I ordered a set of HKS Himpermax S coilovers from Figs today. It also came with a set of ceramic coated Sikky headers, which will be going in soon, and I have a GROM Vline2 sitting here waiting to go in, and an RR-Racing intake and tune kit on the way as well. This is I think car #31 or 32 for me. The current fleet besides the ISF consists of a 2008 V8 4Runner limited, 92 300zx 2+2 TT with full bolt ons, and a 2003 M3 that I am restoring from some water intrusion through a failed sunroof drain.

Here's the ISF when I picked it up in VA on 1/28


And a couple hundred miles later after driving through snow and salt in VA, MD & PA

@boileralum Wheels look great. What offset (38 or 45mm) and tire size?

They are +45s (I believe, need to pull one to see for sure) with 255/35/18s (too short, IMO). I will probably buy some brighter (leaning towards bronze or gold) wheels once it warms up here along with some stickier tires. This is my dadtaxi, not planning on taking it to the track, but may autocross it occasionally, and probably will hit the dragstrip just to see what she'll do.

Picked up a local IS F a few days ago, been wanting one since 2015 and finally the chance to pull the trigger appeared and I did it. That's my (needs to be washed) IS350 in the back

Im in Indy as well (Avon). Welcome to the club. I park mine all winter and daily the IS350. My ISF was like car #35 or 36 for me… but it stuck. Owned my IS350 almost 5 years and my ISF almost 4 years.

Nice, glad to hear. It really does feel like a special car with the 2UR, so I think I will keep it around for a bit.
