Default New ISF Owner, Wi

Hey everyone. I just took delivery of my 2009 SFP ISF with 30,000 miles. I am moving on from a 2004 E46 M3, and I'll be honest, it was one tough decision. In the end, the ISF won out due to its realiability/cost of ownership, four doors(have a baby on the way) and overall luxury and comfort. The extra horsepower and torque definitly helps as well. I love how the car has a duel personality; completely mild mannered if you want it to be, but switch over to sport mode and give it some gas and a whole different car makes itself known.

I am know I am going to miss the 6-spd, this is the first automatic car I have had in over 12 years, but I will make do with the paddle shifters. I still have the NSX for the summer. Look forward to chatting with you all in the future. There are a few pictures attached, I am going to wash the car and take some better pictures tomorrow.

Kevin

Welcome to CL. I am also a F newbe, just about month now. Love the NSX I always wanted one but my voice of reason a.k.a my wife said no way the price for 10yr old one is as much as the F with a trunk and back seat. But at least I this rocket!

Very nice! Welcome. You won't miss the M3, guarantee it! Once you switch to Lexus, you'll never go back to BMW.

Yea I plan to. My last few winter driving cars were the M (which was an amazing snow car) and before that an S2000. Shouldn't be too much of an issue with the Blizzaks. I at least have the option of working from home when the weather gets too bad.

Welcome, I just bought an '08 ISF and joined today. The only thing I want to upgrade right away is my exhaust. I've heard the ISS Forged Exhaust is popular and great. A friend told me about some Greddy titanium exhaust also. Does anyone have and advice???
