    Re: My New Ride....

    i drove the 350 while looking. it had effortless fast acceleration. but i couldnt live with the small back seat & a 6 spd only came in the 250. still a very nice aggressive style.

      ^^^ agreed, the new IS is gorgeus looking and very well powered, I guess thats why, within a year of releasing the 325 + 330, BMW relaunched the 328 + 335's to compete with the Infiniti's, Acura's, Lexus's to stay on top of the HP game.

      Now that 335 is just bloody ridiculous...... twin turbos with 303 ponies.... incredible if u ask me

          the torque curve on the 335 is fantastic, full 300lb-ft right off of idle, straight through to redline
          Beats are my crack.

                      Occassionally but I needed it more for work purposes. Driving clients around while still having something to haul things in if I needed to visit a vendor or something.

                        are you gonna mod that Lexus any ? I'm already building a list of things to add to the Bimmer.... few of them (in order of priority) are

                        Chrome tip exhausts
                        Blacked out front grill
                        Xenons w/ matching fogs
                        Trunk Lip
                        Rims (in the distant future)
                        Performance Chip (when the warranty runs out in 5 years)

                        Though I must admit that even for a vehicle with a mere 215 Horses, that thing is wicked fast (considering my aging TL)

                          if you get the performace chip installed by bmw, isnt that ok with the warranty issues?

                          i know acura will mod your car and keep the warranty running, but not sure about bmw...

                            Nah, it's fine the way it is. I'm more into modding our house than our cars. We spend such little time in them anyway that it'd be superfluous to spend any more money on them.
