First impressions?? its a great car. feels a bit heavy during 0-40mph. it is a few hundred pounds heavier than my m3 so I should feel a difference. I love the seats esp how they hold on to you. the handling and balance is great i'm surprised it can turn lol for a tank. my m3 felt a lot lighter when i turned into corners during daily driving. love the sound and looks especially the rims.

Did you consider any other cars before buying the IS-F?

I actually wanted the IS-f when it first came out but i had a budget and went with a e46 m3 instead. I thought about getting a 2012 m3 as well but this car will be with me for a while so i wanted something reliable and fun. the bmw will cost a lot more to repair after warranty is over etc. i just got my clear bra installed on the front end. ceramic tint coming soon. will post pics next week.

Looks like the 626 to me. One of my most favorite tire shops on that street. If the street Im thinking of is correct.

Are you referring to Grand Prix tires?

Just wait until you put exhaust on the car and hear that 5.0L V8...IT WILL BE A WHOLE NEW CAR AND WORTH EVERY PENNY.

You will be surprised at how good sounding Japanese V8 can seduce you.
