s4play: Yea the dude was older. But the guys approaching me during my gas stops were younger guys he he.

Cabinetman: That's def. a sick e90! I've seen those pics before, one of the nicest I've ever seen. I wish the wheels were different but that's just personal taste. The professional photos help also, don't they? I wish I could get a pro photoshoot! You're right, the 09+ taillights look much better. Although the euro conversion on the 08s look good too. Be sure to post your update after your break-in!

The blue E90 built by IND is one of the nicest, and probably the most expensive non stroker, modified M3s around. The carbon fiber roof is the real deal that required cutting off the original roof. I agree the wheel styling is a take it or leave it deal, but those Neez wheels look pretty good to me.

I'm about two weeks past my 1200 mile service. I have been able to develop some better opinions about the M and plan to post a comparison soon.

When I told them it was a Lexus and the other a BMW a few changed their minds and said they would take the M3 instead

hey Galaxy, is that your IS_F slammed in your signature? Any larger pics with mods? Looks CLEAN!


Cabinetman: I respect your vehicle choice too! We all have different tastes so that was just my opinion. The m3 is always a car to respect regardless but I just like the lines of the Lexus more.

I've seen some nice e90 modded m3's too ~ just stock for stock it's not my cup of tea that's all.

i cannot agree anymore my friend! the very first time i laid my eyes on the IS F, i was taken completely. there are only a few cars that can capture the eyes for an extended period of time, whether its their rarity on the roads or their exotic looks. the F is definitely one that gives me that glazed look in my eyes everytime i see one on the roads, which is rare at best. seeing mine everyday makes me so grateful i got my F instead of an m3.

Yup! A group of us were at my friend's place for a barbeque. An m3, a GTR and my F was there.

The F had the most Fingerprints on it and the test drives (pre mod) came back positive. It was funny how everyone said the F felt more complete. I find it astounding.
