33k out the door with taxes so i know this is a good deal. the sticker carbon fiber doesnt really bother me. looks ok to me. and the headlights are a great addition. so i guess i bought an isf thats been riced out a bit. I made the dealer order me new rear tailights cuz the previous owner blacked them out and it looked terrible. but for the price It was worth it to me. the car drives great and sounds great so all and all im happy with it. I do remember I lost a lug on my previous F and bought a new one at toyota and it was exactly the same for 1/3 of the cost, can someone post a pic of a stock lug. It be helpful considering closest lexus dealer is 1 hr from me and toyota is 10min

i apologize for coming off so blunt.

some of the things that you pointed out, would scare the normal person on purchasing an isf. sometimes finding the cheapest price you can is not always worth it. if i saw the car, looking from him covering up the beautiful oem console, putting fsport decals on calipers, using wrong and dangerous lug nuts, who knows what else is the person did or treated the car. ive come to realize when purchasing used performance car, it's hard to be picky at times but i just know when to just keep looking or which seems like a good buy.


hope to see your new cleaned up pics. enjoy the F

Isf Power...I hear you. sometimes its hard to say no, when all i gotta do is sign a piece of paper and im back in an ISF. It was hard finding a dealer willing to give me a decent amount for the gl450 i traded in..the GL was so boring I washed it once in 6 months. The f ill probably clean twice a week. granted it does have some distasteful mods, but oh well ill get it to where i want it to be soon enough. and some people worry about a car being beat on and so on..I can guarantee you, im going to beat on it. To me the ISF can handle anything you throw at it..My e92 M3 i had was a fantastic car but I had to relpace rear diff (while under warranty) and that car was previously owned by my 60 yr old uncle who Im sure never treated that car bad..So ya never know. But bmw outta warranty is scarey. ISF not so much, and hey i still have 2 years on the powertrain warranty

Nice car man! I actually like the color and dispite the minor items you had to get fix you still got a good deal.

All my wheels are on the wrong side, lol! Why is it evryone tends to out the wheels on the wrong side? I know it's unintentional but the odds seem to favor the wrong side.
