The article is obviously very biased.
This quote "But its ride and handling simply didn’t deliver. It would hobbyhorse down uneven pavement and batter occupants in a straight line but roll excessively in corners."
Is quite extreme and I have NEVER heard the ISF criticized for excessive body roll. Ridiculous.
I wonder how big a check the writer got from BMW.

Either way, with its sub-four-second 60-mph dash and low-12-second quarter-mile, the M3 betters the F in a straight line.
This show that writer of this article didn't even bother with checking his facts out prior to printing his statement, you would think that editor of this magazine would ensure anything printed was as factual as possible but I guess not when it come to certain magazines I guess it's more about selling product than providing factual unbiased information. IMO what most people are looking for are facts regarding reviews not someone personnel biased opinion for or against any vehicle. Yes constructive criticism is welcome and necessary at times but leave out personnel biased opinions.
I was on M3post Forum reading some comments regarding C/D article and they even said since when did e90 M3 run sub four second 0-60 runs. Most of comments on M3post were very positive regarding new 2011 IS-F.
For the most part article is complementary regarding updated 2011 IS-F which what most owner were hoping to read. It now looks like most auto rags are agreement when it comes to improvements made to 2011 IS-F that it now has tools to compete with it's two biggest rival in this market and hope Lexus will continue to improve IS-F for into future.

Down in OZ there cannot be any bias on the cost ISF $135,00000 AUD vs M3 with similar spec $185,000.00 AUD!
Oh, did I tell you we get ripped off for cars down here!!!!!
Present exchange rate, that is like $140,000.00 USD and $190,000.00 AUD, it is so said that we can't get real value on cars like the US.
We keep paying the high prices they keep charging the high prices LOL
