Hey guys, just purchase a 2008 is350 over the weekend. i have to say that my choice to go with this car has been solidified! i absolutely love this thing. i'm so happy i didn't go with these other's: g37, 335i or g8gt. i know the last one doesn't quite fit the group.
side note: had to take the car in already due to the dealership that i bought from detailed the engine bay and got too much moisture on one of the coils and it failed. result, check engine light, VSC light and t/c light all came on yesterday and the car was shaking and misfiring badly. 3-5 days to get a coil from japan! no good.
other than that, i couldn't be happier with the purchase.
2008, blk on blk, premium, nav w/ backup camera, sport. 7950 miles.

yeah, atleast the dealer i bought it from is picking up all the charges. sucks i can't drive the car after just two days of owning it. not really that bad considering we are supposed to get rain, snow and crappy weather for the next few days.

yeah mine was bought at auction from vegas and transported here. i'm praying that this crap weather will be over soon but you all know how that goes in chitown. my car is at the dealer now and will be there until next week due to them having to order a coil from japan.
does anyone know a good shop around the burbs? thinking of getting some springs to get a nice drop. any suggestions on springs too? tein, f-sport, etc?
thanks for the welcome!
