[BMW0]

Now that type of behavior deserves a month taking the bus to work.

Hey, I would be pissed and doing burnouts too if I had a is350 because he is probobly just got done with his first recommended maintenance and you sitting there at the light in your 330 just reminded him that yours is free.

A good enough reason to go for a M3 E90.

Old American tradition. Doubt it will ever die.

remember that both 330i and IS350 are in about the same price bracket so if people that go for Lexus were really self-concious when they see a 330i, they would simply go for the 330i, don't you think? they wouldn't get the damn car if they really didn't like it or didn't believe it is the best to them.

i chose a BMW and don't look back, so i'm sure they feel the same way about Lexus. while they were car-shopping, they probably tried a few different cars, just like us, and they liked the new IS the best. that doesn't mean that you have to think that.

so, what i'm trying to say is that Lexus or the G35 or the A4 are not necessarily bad/ugly cars, they just don't appeal to you.

an actual post that makes sense. amen bro

for people who drive other cars other than bmw envy kills

Wow guys, I was pulled up by a IS350 today also man, and man it has the SAME color as mine, "WHITE." Haha it was this black dude in it and man he kept checking out my ride since I had works done on the car already. Haha I kept wondering what's he thinking about.... And you know the most funny thing is that he has the license plate customed, which reads "PHATLEX" I was like "wdf.....???" Haha when he drove away, I was totally laughing my ass off. I dunno man, for some reason I juz dun feel that name you'll. Man I am definitely not disrespecting the IS guys, but man this is juz funny. Oh wellz, juz something I wanna share

Oh I have no disrespect for the Lexus guys, I mean come on now, my parents own a LS430 and my sis has a RX330....

[danglez1234]

you guys are all smug with your bmw's... grow up, your making us look bad.

[KennyVendetta]

And people wonder why BMW owners have a reputation for being snobs...this thread is proving it.

[Acornz]

So what if one has both an E90 and IS350? It's funny how you go to one forum and they just bash on the other guys and vice versa. I guess I'm neutral, I love 'em both.

[Nikki]

yeah bmw drivers are jerks too. see my thread i made like 8 months ago before i got my car lol.

[cntlaw]

To any other cars owners, Benz, BMW, Audi, Porsche, Ferrari and Lexus drivers are all jerks. This is why my dream car is either a respectable Aston Martin or a Bentley. and since I don't buy preowned/aged cars models, so that will be a dream forever. Let's join the row of jerks.

[calvino]

why you guys compare lexus vs bmw, is just a toyota with another logo, in other words a ""cute toyota"" hahahaha

Whoa... some 3ers are overdosing on the haterade. Maybe since he bought an IS350 he favored some things over others. Quite possibly he prefers the comfort and luxury he gets from lexus. Maybe he doesnt like throwing his car into corners but does like to accelerate. The IS350 is not really an inferior car to the 3 like some of you make it out to be. Its just a different car for a different kind of purpose. So i'm pretty sure the little boy racer in his little blue car took off on you because he wanted you to race him so he could show you that his car was faster than yours in a straight line, the same way you would try to romp him in the twisties. And if you did that, maybe he would get on my.is and start talking about some oldracer that thinks this is driving fast around corners makes you the next Mika Heikkinen or something. Lets face it corner addicts, for those of you that live in the States, we're a country of straight highways and interstates, and fewer back roads. So before you go ahead and spend 4 pages on a thread bashing a car that does many things so very well, consider that there are people who prefer those inds of cars, and why it may make them lesser to try to take advantage of a car they know that is slower than theirs in a straight line, it doesnt make you any better to talk about him like his car is a Geo Metro. If he's a little man for showing off at a light... then what does that make you?

On the opposide side, a brand new IS350 pulls up. I have to say it doesnt look too bad on the street but it was some baby blue type color so that kind of took away from the overall look. It appeared to be some younger man driving so can't imagine why he even chose that color. Anyway so he clearly sees me, and I see him and his light turns green first cause that side also has the green arrow for people turning left across the intersection, and he absolutely takes off- wheel spin, screechin noise etc, but here's the kicker, when he comes up next to me(which was pretty damn quick i must say) he almost slows down to complete stop and then takes off again with full power. Wow, I know your car is faster but talk about being self-conscious. He prob knows the E90 is overall much better and was letting out his anger lol. Anyway just thought i'd share that. kind of amusing actually

this was before 335's were popular.

holy old thread, 335i >>>>>>> IS350

328>IS350 according to Car & Driver

[Robert]

I went from a 135i to is350 and hopefully pick up a cayman-s or E30 next. Each car satisfied my personal need at the time. BMW was to scratch the itch of having a high performance luxury car I had since college. Lexus is because the unreliability and busy life style do not blend. Cayman or a E30 M3 is because Lexus, while a very refined car, is not rewarding to toss around, and I wanted a car with minimum electronics. I can careless for airbags, abs, and traction control.

Who the hell bumped this 4 year old thread?

stupid thread, stupid bump.
