BMW E92 M3 vs Lexus IS-F. BMW blows an engine
Bad day...
Reliability was one of the primary reasons I bought another Lexus vs the BMW options out there. This isnt a BMW vs Lexus bash post, just a newly posted video I figured might be of interest

Ouch! The M was pretty much stock except for an exhaust. I think the owner was more worried about the front lip scraping the bed towards then end of the video. Sucks to have all that happen just for a little drag race.

Yeah, there is something more to that video then just that. I'm not saying BMW comes close to lexus in the reliability dept, but I drove my 08 M3 for 67k miles and I drove it hard!!!!!! Only problems had was a couple of check engine lights for increased emissions. I have had my ISF for 3 weeks now and already had to take it in twice. Once for vanity lights in passenger mirror not turning on and a couple of days ago for the memory seats buttons not working. Still love my ISF more though....

Gotta be a misshift. If the IS-F wasn't dummy proof (it won't let you downshift when you're past a certain RPM level so you over rev), I'm sure you'd see some Lexus guys doing the same thing. Agreed the IS-F is more reliable than the M3, but not for the reasons shown in the vid.
