Me too... When I was buying mine, all the stealerships kept telling me it was "limited" to get me to pay more.

By the way, if you look at your VIN number, the last few digits indicate which one you have. I believe mine is in the 690's range. The dealership told me this.

that's correct, the last digits show the "number" for the car. i don't know if the is-f has different pre-fix from the normal IS, but guess so?

Not quite 3 billion. the M3 Sedan is something fresh for BMW, the F is just an upgrade 250 really

but thats fine

At the Lexus Performance Academy event they mentioned building 2500 IS F's. Probably not all of those are coming to the US.

That does seem to be the consensus as I've been told the same. Not a bad thing.

Using the VIN method, it seems that I'm deep into the 1000s.
