The Lexus is finally going away and up for sale.. I don't know if anyone is interested, but I think it's one of the cleanest 1st gens in this forum. I know some members can vouch for that seeing it at the Irvine Kim chi BBQ meet and at Lexkost's BBQ meet sometime back.

I finally found a car I'm seriously interested in buying and unfortunately, it's not a Lexus..

It's time to treat myself right with some speed and handling and decided to go with something new.. I'm a little hesitant to say what, since I know I'll be frowned upon in this forum..

You're crossing over to the darkside aren't ya? I smell bimmer.

I'm sure you'll enjoy the speed and handling (which lacked in our LS's) of your new car, whatever it may be. Try not to be a stranger and drop by every once in awhile.

You nailed it Brian
I'm not gonna say exactly what, quite yet.. but I'm sure my clues are giving it away

Hey don't feel too bad. I just got my wife a new car for Christmas and will be putting the RX300 for sale next week probably. I am getting ready to put a deposit on a new car for myself and will be selling the LS400 as soon as the new car come in around summer time.

Hey if Lexus does not make what we want, then unfortunatly we will have to move to other brands. I love Lexus and wish I could stay with them...

True car enthusiasts don't frown upon other great cars. I wouldn't worry about it and would proudly tell everyone on here about it!

Just ignore the negative comments - they don't count! What counts is that you are getting what you like.

So now tell us which BMW model you got?

persian451

lol.. well I don't have it quite yet, but I'll have a better idea if I can get it this week after going to the bank.

2005 - E46 M3 SMG w/ Competition package, premium package.
I found one by my house with 3800 miles.. i'll post pics when I actually get it.. but expect it soon

Don't fret i think most of the younger guys in this forum would get a BMW over most other cars. If i had the money for a NEW car it would be a 335i sedan. Now if i had to go used would most definatly be lexus. Probably an IS or GS.

I hope your gettin an M3

Have a friend with one & every time I get in it he scares the living crap out of me!! The performance is amazing.

You will be missed here since you usually add some great & accurate info.

I dunno man, that looks like a step down to me!!

Jk man, that thing looks amazing. Very well taken care of, but it only has 3800 miles so it should. Have you driven it yet? I know SOME BMWs have fallen off the top reliability chart, but I'm not sure how well the M3 stacks. I've never heard someone complain about reliability with those though.

Good find man, if you decide to get it, let us know how those drive, I'm interested.

not at all my friend.. this car kicks butt. I just picked up the car today and oh man.. this is one fun ride.. if you are lookin for a sport car (which I was) this is one to consider. its pretty darn quick off the line
