That M3 really looks great if you ask me, I think maybe even more so than the IS-F. It just has such a clean look to it.

Yep, the rear is slightly better, but still does nothing for me as a whole, I prefer the M3 coupe.

I like the coupe more but both M3's are nice looking. The IS-F reminds me of the IS350 too much since I had one. My wife couldn't justify spending the extra lute on a car that basically looked just like my car.

The center console/radio/climate looks incredibly cheap.
