the ings is lower definitely. only his CF split pieces almost look like it's as low. but if u compare his bumper to the bottom of the ings lip. you win! lol

and last time i checked.. probably the fastest is350 onthe board (john) is debadged.. so is he ashamed he doesn't drive a is-f? comon now so many discussions on this will never end due to the close minded opinions. if i had a is-f or 350 i'd debadge that shet too.

btw, the lex looks cleaner and lower(because of the ING) than 3 series. Very nice.

You can name one person that debadge their IS350? Compare the ratio of how many people debadge their 250 to people who debadge their 350 instead.

IMO, the gap on the rear bumper of the BMW looks terrible. I've seen smaller gaps on **** stars

I think there are more heavily molded IS250s than 350s on CL. Probably because the tuner in them made them get a 6MT.

Probably not, because I would be willing to bet you that MOST "heavily" modded IS250s here are automatics.

You could probably round up all the 6MT owners on here, stock or modded, and there may not even be more of you than modded auto IS250s.

I agree though that there are probably more "heavily" modded 250s than 350s but I think you'd have to expect that seeing how the 250 sells in much higher volumes. Let's be honest, no one bought their 250 for it's blinding speed, telepathic steering, and super-silky 6MT.

Sorry but I have to say that the E46 is lower LOL. Judging by the wheel gap .

And to add to the title of this thread. BMW, from what I know, has always been going against Audi not Lexus. Now I could be wrong but that's what I remember.

Both cars look fantastic!!!!! But I'll throw you the bone and agree that your fitment is better!!!!! Great pictures!
and I like to keep my enemies closer

BTW John^^^^^ I think Lexus likes to chase after the Beemers for measuring against benchmarks

IMO the IS looks waaay better than the E46 bimmers. The e46 are classy yet understated. No contest.
Now the e92 is a different story.
