IS 350 emblem on back may have also given it away. I used my keen detective sense to figure that out

I don't want a new ISF. I want our 08-14 ISF's to be the only production runs so that resale value doesn't plummet.

yeh, the original picture wasn't the one posted in this thread actually, it was a different shot, so the 350 emblem wasn't visible initially.

Thats why I said read the comments, just scroll down to get your answer. I frequent jalopnik often and usually someone who reads it will have more information on whats going on. The comments are usually comical but informative if need be.

I am assuming since BMW killed the M3 sedan the ISf is a goner. Its all about me too in the auto industry. And as described above its will make the values of our stay higher and it will make the car more valuable in the future for the few of us who will hold on to these cars for decades. Not sure yet since I say I want to keep all of my car forever when I initially buy them. After 3-4 years its on to bigger and better things.

BMW didn't kill the M3 sedan. They just split M3 sedan/coupe into M3 (coupe) and M4 (sedan).

IS-f will make an appearance in a year or two. Second half of the run in all likelihood.



Quick Reply: think this thing is the new IS-F?
