I had a Dinan 3 330ci... I sold it and bought an Acura TSX, which was then in a $16k accident 2 weeks after I bought it and now have sold it for a new AWD IS 250

Pic of my 330ci.

Default Replaced my 2001 Nissan Pathfinder
Nalley Lexus in Atlanta got a hell of a deal on my 01 Nissan Pathfinder. It had 65000 miles on it and totally customized. Grill guards, nerf bars, alpine, MTX, PIAA, i really can go on.
They would only offer me 11K back in Feb. 06 so I took it. I had to have the 350. I loved the Pathy but it still was a good decision.


Mind you...there is a world of difference between IS 250 and 350 hp and torque. The numbers just do not tell the whole story. Drive both and make you decision wisely.

My new IS350 replaced a 2002 Jaguar X-Type with the manual transmission which is somewhat rare. A good car but a bit slow and stodgy.

Default Had to let go!
I had to let the Evo go! This car was too fast and would one day get me in trouble. As I mature and with my new position, I looked for a Japanese luxurious sports sedan with power and style.

my IS350 replaced my old 03 Supercharged RSX. The IS isn't as fast as the RSX but it's fast enough for me now a day since I don't race anymore.

Technically it replaced an Acura MDX as my daily driver,
but officially, it replaced my wife's '98 Avalon . . .

'05 Scion tC. Needed 4 doors and decent gas mileage, don't ever fancy myself as a Camry driver. IS350 power is a bonus.

tC will be for sale, but needs to go back to stock first.
