Hello All!

New member here and looking for an IS F. Passed up a few chances to buy two cars ago but can’t get the IS F off my mind.

Really trying to find a local Texas car.

Some previous vehicles:
2000 Camaro SS
2001 Corvette Z06
2004/05 Toyota 4 Runner 4wd
2006 997 c2

Some previous motorcycles:
2005 MV Agusta Brutale 750s
2006 SV 605s
2007 Honda CBR 600rr
2010 MV agusta Brutale 990r

I usually have a bike or fast car in the garage to keep me satisfied. Anyways I’ll contribute when I can and Look forward to some JDM in my life.

I had to find mine in Colorado at a BMW dealership.. 2012 ISF Nebula Gray Pearl with red interior is what I specifically wanted. I looked for a year.

Not many in Texas. Good luck.. Keep looking on Cars.com

Feliz Navidad

New ISF member here

Had done a little research on the car beforehand and wanted a 10+ if possible (I really enjoy cruising through twisty roads and the LSD and suspension update would be worth it). Almost gave up the search and was thinking of settling for a 08-10 until this 2011 popped up in Altanta GA back in October. Pictures looked good so I had to fly over to go see it and test drive it. Ended up making a deal and drove it back to Texas while detouring to the Tail of the Dragon to see how well she carries her weight.

1. 2011 Smoky grey mica
2. ML Navigation
3. Black interior
4. Had been in the market for the F for some time but did consider a CTS-V
5. Clean title, no crashes and pretty clean all the way around considering the age of the car
7. Sunroof
8. Reppin' The Lone Star State!!







I've owned this car for about 3 months now, have no regrets on the purchase, and is definitely a great addition to the stable; but I cant keep anything in stock form so a few upgrades will be underway!

I look forward to being part of this community and learning more about the car from you guys!

Default 2010 Pearl White ISF Sacramento CA area

Hey everyone names Sam
Just purchased my 2010 pearly white isf after selling my 06 is350 which I was very happy with as well!
one of the best things I love about the car is the LSD which makes it extra fun for sliding around!
car is stock for now with plans to do a header back system just not sure what to do yet.

NA/ML
black
H&R Springs, AFE Intake, AME FS-01, 18x9 +31 all around, VLand headlights
Parked M3 for the winter
No accidents, clean
