Default New Owner

New to me 2008 F. Red, Mark Levinson. 76k miles. Dealer serviced. 2 owners, no accidents. Paint is not as slick as I would like it to be. How does one manage to get deep scratches in the sharkfin? Runs great.

​​​​​​It's replacing a is350. Keeping my tuned 110,000 mile 335i sedan as it isn't worth anything really so might as well keep it around. Love the F so far.

Hello all!

Purchased my IS-F earlier this year as my new daily after moving to Vancouver from Tokyo.

Other cars I was looking at included an E90 M3 and B7 RS4 Avant (which I found out was not available in N America).
I was surprised at how hard these cars are to come by up here which is one of the several reasons why I decided on this car.

So far the car has been nothing but awesome as a daily.

I was heavily into time attacks and tracking cars in Japan so I hope to modify the IS-F slowly to take it out to some local track here in the near future.

Cheers!

Thumbs up New member in Atlanta

Hello to everyone. I purchased a 2012 USB IS F back in March and have been lurking since then. Love, love, love this car. Didn't realize there was so much F love in the Atlanta area and I'm looking forward to meeting some other F owners in the future.

Thanks!

Super clean look, the wheel color complements the white well.
What are the wheel specs?

I have yet to see another IS-F in Atlanta even though I commute 80 miles a day on a major highway. New to the F and having a blast driving it, I look forward to the drive each day.
2008 Matador Red Mica, Black Interior, Sunroof, JoeZ exhaust, etc....

Spent a week looking at over priced M3s and got tired of reading about rod bearing issues and throttle actuators. Wanted reliability, practicality, and performance all in one and found out about the IS F. Test drove one today and fell in love.

Semi pulling the trigger on an 08 Black on Black with 50k miles, 2 owners, clean history (with record of oil change every 5k!) It's across the states, so I'm using lemonsquad to do a pre purchase inspection. 28,000 for all this seemed too good of a deal. Hopefully my next post on here is about the car I just purchased!
