Default What I traded my IS350 for...My first photoshoot

I loved my IS350 lots, but it just wasnt the right car for me. It was too soft, too boring, and definately too automatic.

Some people asked for pics a while ago and since I finally got the new car all done up, and had a little photoshoot. Stay tuned for VFE Stage 2some tmethis year. Enjoy

That's a nice upgrade. I would have made the same move.

Congragulations.

I had a strong feeling, before I opened the thread, that it would be either an M3 or a 335i. Those are usually the first cars that those dissatisfied with the IS350 look at.....or cross shop.

The M3, of course, is a great sports sedan, but I couldn't take the ultra-firm ride......it is too hard-core for me. The 335 is a somewhat better ride/handling balance. If the M3's rock-hard chassis doesn't bother you, then great.....more power to you.
