It seems like you can get an M for Euro Delivery invoice right now on the 2010's. Too bad Lexus doesn't have a Japan Delivery system. That would be awesome.

I would love to do ED, but I can't swing it right now. Maybe if I fall for the M car I can do the ED on my next purchase.

Left hand drive vehicle in right hand drive country isn't a good idea for a foreigner in a brand new car. If I were Lexus, I'd offer delivery at Fuji for hot laps, then ship the car home to the US. I wouldn't let you drive it on the street in Japan.

Hmm... maybe the OP does have the right idea after all...



How come I never see this in my car?

You do realize the Bimmer has a flat torque curve? More so than the F.

Good luck with the M3. I considered it greatly before i purchased my car and must say its a great car. Though there are some things like lack of torque and possible reliability issues that you might come across, im sure that you'll enjoy breaking necks all day long.

Lmao. And your point? That is better because the curve is flatter?

You are kidding right? I'm not trying to insult anyone's intelligence by no means but if I, or other members need to explain this then fine.

the " Lmao" as you put it was not needed, you could have just asked me to explain.

It will be fun getting to know a new car. I'm sure there will be things that the F did better than the M and vis-versa. Getting the Bimmer is more about getting the whole M car thing out of my system more than anything else. I lusted after the M cars for years and now I can afford to own one so I figured it was worth a try. Plus, this looks to be the end of n/a M3s and I didn't want to miss out on owning a n/a M car.

You're just going to end up adding a supercharger or turbo to it, to get more power.... LOL

You now have the power of ///M -- in your hand
