I just say "It's the Japanese M3" or for further clarity the ISF is to ISx50 as M3 is to 335i

yea i got tired of people asking if it's a 250/350 and trying to explain it's nothing even close. i'll admit, my wife thought the same, until she drove it and even now will notice other ISFs on the road if she sees them (which is rare in itself). haha i get giddy when i see other ISFs on the road

speaking of this...

so im driving along home this evening and a new '14 IS 'F-sport' (aka bull**** trim package) pulls up next to me. guy motions for me to lower my window and proceeds to tell me he just got the "new version" of my car. I told him he doesn't know wtf he's talking about and start rolling up my window. Guy continues blabbing about something as the light turns green and i pull away. get on the highway, guy follows, he then proceeds to line up and try to run me (lol). i let him punch it and wait till he gets about 4-5 car lengths ahead, then i punch it, reel him in, and proceed to put bus lengths on him. when i look up im going 150ish and the dude is nowhere in sight lol. i slow, he eventually catches back up and tries to chat on the bloody highway. i give him the emperor thumbs down and peace.

love my car but these trim packages that lex, merc, bmw et all are putting out are going to these idiots heads.

The reality is that all car manufacturers have been doing this for decades. Even back in the muscle car days you could get Dodge Challengers with hood scoop, fuax fender wings, dual exhaust, rallye gauges, all the while having a relatively weaker small block V8 instead of the glorious Hemi. Same with Mustangs and Camaro's.
