Hi guys, I am new to the forum and I got a question for everybody.
So I have found a used white ISF for about $48995 with 9567miles on it. I have called them and asked for details yet. But based on the pictures, I think the car is fulled loaded (Nav, parking sensor, etc....) I owe a loaded 335i coupe and am thinking about trading it in.(Ok I didn't mean to start an other 335i vs ISF debate here. lol) So, is it worth it to trade it in terms of the price and millage on the car??? Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks in advance

 

I own both and have to say that the isf is really in a different class. I wish it had an ipod aux jack. The 335 i have is a 6mt which is fun to get behind. The lexus just rides more solid. The 335i make a lot more noise at speed. Rattles more. I love both cars to death, but have to give the nod to the Lexus. My 335i is not stock, had the Dinan software and I'd still choose the Lex. I must say though that the 335i coupe with dinan and the 6spd is a BLAST to drive. They are both lookers ( have m6 wheels on the BMW) but the lexus is just on another level.

 

3 series are a dime a dozen.. get something no one has

 

Thanks for the input guys

My 335i is chipped as well with suspension mod(coilovers and sway bars). The car is fun, no doubt. But it feels kinda loose when turn. I haven't had the chance to drive the ISF yet since the it's been snowing a lot for the past couple days. Anyhow, is $48995 for an used isf with 9567miles on it worth the money? I guess that's my main question here.

Keep it coming guys.

 

How about the tranny guys? How does it shift? Do you get full control in manual mode?

 

I just got a Brand New IS-F White starfire pearl for 53,500 out the door. picking it up on Dec. 15th. You may want to look around you can great deals right now.

 

I have, but all the new cars that are on special are not white

 

To me, the transmission is one of the best parts of the car. Some people complain that in full auto mode it's 'shifting too much"; I don't find that problem - the shifts are so quick and crisp you don't even notice them.

The car/tranny really shows you what it's got when you have it in sport mode. Sport vs non-sport mode is like night and day.

 

Wow.. congrats. You got a serious deal. That's near or below invoice?

 

+1 I really like the transmission on the car. People do complain, calling it an 8 speed slosh-box, etc. etc. but it shifts better then any car I've ever owned, they are really quick and clean and 99% of the time, you don't even feel it shift. In manual you can have complete control of the shifting and man, thats when it performs at its best Also, when you switch it to sport mode, the car unleashes itself and I've owned mine for sometime now and it still surprises me how quick it is in sport

Like someone said before me, 335i's are everywhere, the F, thats more exclusive. If you test drive it and your happy with it, I say go for it Good luck and keep us updated

 

Agreed... a lot of them here in the Dallas area as well.

 

that is truly the reason i wanted the IS-F so badly... no one has one... Most people cant tell the differences in the 3 series models... the E46 can easily be confused by even the new m3... for people who don't know much about cars... not only do i see 3 series everywhere.. also m3's all over the place as well.. its like a bad bug problem

 

Make sure it gets its 10K service, perhaps it needs new tires, new brakes, new rotors, etc.

 

get an Ultrasonic Blue IS F...that way, you'll have a car that few people have AND on top of that, you wont be mistaken by first glance that you're a 250/350... =)
