Default Quick pic of the 335i

Here is a quick pic.

Just got out of break in period for the IS-F. This thing really does pull hard! Sort of gives you that weird feeling like you stomach is being pushed back lol. Its a great car!

Nice car. I didn't really appreciate the white till I saw one in the dealer while waiting for my 1k checkup. Very nice contrast with the graphite wheels.

Both cars look great! Congrats on the purchases!

How do they compare with each other comfort and speed wise? I'm just curious coming from an owner of both, I'm curious as to your opinion

Edit: the wheels on the BMW look like those that come with the M6, awesome choice in wheels

With the Dinan Tune the 335i pulls very very hard. Its about a 12.7 car. The Lexus is more of a street cruiser. Awesome sounding, pulls like a locamotive. The seats are better in the ISF, and in the BMW you can feel the road a bit more, however the lexus is much tighter. Both cars are GREAT. Speed wise they are too close to call. I still have not pushed the ISF from a dead stop so I can't tell.

Nice rides! The 335i is a beast with an ECU tune. Are those m6 wheels?

I would guess that you would say that my wife and I have 2 cars in the same class. I have the F and she has a 2008 E93 convert. As it turns out we like sporty cars with lots of power.

As appearances and aesthetics go, BMW makes the most attractive exterior. Badass looking cars.

But with the inside of the IS F, I'm endlessly impressed. Wouldn't trade it. I was walking the local Lexus lot a few days ago and everything else there seemed bland. Naturally only the other IS models approached this one.
