M3 to ISF - new owner in St. Louis!
Old car- 2002 M3, fully loaded, rare color- blue water metallic (I loved it)
Fun car but tread wear was awful. Inspection II was coming due and I don't want to even know how much repairs would have cost on the SMG.
New car- 08 ISF, fully loaded. This is the day I brought it home- first car wash thanks to my husband. I need to get better pics! I'm working on it .
Anyways, I'm new to the site!

Hahahaha! Thanks Danny. I signed up a while ago but my account had so many limitations and then I realized I needed 30 posts so I decided to do them all today LOL......
Anyways, thank you for all the welcomes. There are some really cool cars on here. I never thought I would want to change my isf until I saw all the cool mods! I guess I always pictured the high school kids in their tricked out Hondas so I always thought of mods as cheap looking. I was wrong! WAY wrong!
As far as comparing my isf to my m3- I do miss the rag top. The weather has been really nice here in STL so the drop top is missed but every time I walk up to my isf and I don't have to look through my cluttered purse for the keys, rather just slightly touch the door handle and then I'm in.....oh and then the button to start the beast- yeah, I totally forget the M3 at that moment. The technology with Lexus is something else. I went on a long road trip with my old boss who had an 08 m3 and the interior was boring- all black plastic. I don't think he had NAV- not that I care about the NAV but the interior was lacking when compared to the isf. I love the blue and white dash and sport seats from Lexus. People can laugh and make fun of the "fake" quad exhaust but the car screams FAST so I love all the detail the isf has to offer. I will say my BMW had a true race car feeling. The car knew when I wanted to haul *** and the rough ride at times made the experience even more exciting but going back to Lexus, the horsepower this car has is just amazing. When the sound of the engine kicks in at 3000(something) rpms- that is another fav of mine. The BMW didn't do anything like this, yeah it would get up and go but I love the sound from under the hood that the isf produces. Honestly I like both cars but I'm very happy and fortunate to get to own the Lexus. Anytime someone stops me to tell me "nice car" I know they know about cars because few really know about the isf.

Very nice car but I hate to say the wheels are on the wrong side. On the 08 each rim is different to there is a front left,front right,back left, and a back right. From the photo you have above all I can see is that the front rims are on the wrong side.
