I call BS. When did the M3 "outhandle" an NSX? LOL What were the criteria? Where is the data? This is funny. Face it, the M3 is a "sports sedan" NOT a sports car. :rolleyes:Quote:

The NSX is not all that great. It is not that fast and barely lighter(by 20 lbs) to an M3 from 99 and my car wasn't designed as "super light weight"
http://www.m3zine.com/index.php?opti...d=14&Itemid=45
Scroll down. Here are some "excerpts for you"
"The M3 possesses uncanny roadgoing ability. This is the most-agile car here. The steering eagerly bites into corners and is alive with feel. "Constantly talking to my fingers," wrote Csere. It latches onto a line in corners as if on a mission from God. Webster: "Rolls gracefully into curves at a constant rate and goes right where you point it."
.... So, what's the best-handling car at any price? ...It's an eight-horn salute to the BMW M3 as "the best-handling car."
http://www.m3forum.com/articles/car_...son_sept97.gif
Hmmm M3 was faster in EVERY Corner. And it was actually an NSX-T. Wow 6 mphs faster in 1 corner.
There is a link to the whole article if you want to read it. Whicah car should I buy. A used M3 for 15 or a used NSX for 50.
now ur on crack to say the M3 is best handling car for the $$
Am I? Car and Driver said it not me ;) But thanks.
I do love how no one has chimed in and said "Yah I drove an M3 and was unimpressed." Again, 7/8th of you have never even driven one yet you bash on them. How they are "overpriced" and I can beat one with less money in my "car x".
Go drive one. Buy one and mod it and drive it and THEN you can make an opinion.
I drove an NSX. Unimpressed. For 90K new you got ripped the fuck off. Buy a Porsche 911 turbo for that kind of money.
also the only BMW thats a sports car is the Z series
guess Elises cant turn corners:rolleyes:Quote:

the m3 is one of the cars and apparently a lot of you have proved it in this thread by your arrogance, is a car that many strive to be.
and to think, this started off as a 335 v IS350 but now, its japan vs.germany.
(who in their right mind considers a 335 german muscle?)
theyre both great cars but now since were on the subect of bmw vs lexus. i must say, although i loves lexus, they been kind of bland in styling and when driving..
people just don't think( at least in the states) of lexus as anything but sporty..( putting on my flame suit)but as pure luxury.( before u bite my head off about lexuses(lexi) racing etc..remember, your average lexus owner has no friggin clue)
BMW is WORLD-known for its motorsports divisions and its luxury cars..even morons that really dont care for sportscar and racing know what a M car is.
so, on that note..let me get a lil more off course that this thread, the IS-F looks impressive for a 100k toyota( sorry but the average yank that will be able to afford this car is gonna overlook this car if its not badge as a lexus.it'll help them sleep better at night ;) ) like i said, the IS-F looks impressive but at least let the girl get on the floor to see if she can dance.
see some of you in the ballroom in 2009
sincerely,
a guy that still will continue to trash BMW's :D
I've got to give you props for one of the more serious posts in here. Very nice opinion without the arrogance and bashing of brands.Quote:

The IS-F is slated to be over +400HP, which again, is impressive cosidering the (projected) price.
Two different cars, at different prices.
Oh, and here.. see the girl dance.... :)

coming to the ballroom in 2008, actually.
Not bad as the first 'performace' model... it could only get better from here.
Yup... so it can do burnouts and slide off the track coming onto the front straight. Those people sure were excited to see some burnouts. WTF
I can't wait for it to be released and the M3 Four Door to spank it. Back to the drawing board. On top of that its PURE SIZE almost makes it more M5 competition which would be a joke.
Where did Toad man go? All that shit talking and he got owned over and over and continued to dig his hole deeper. Then he just leaves. What a tool.
what shit talking?Quote:

and i said the 328 is uncomfortable,thats just me....its to upright,imo...i like my legs to be straight and low cockpit....like driving a corvette or RX-7.
Why don't you just wait until it is released before you start nuthugging the M? I am sure that if it happened to SPANK the M3 in the quarter you would prob. say something like 'yup, but it still can't handle like the M', "it's still ugly', 'it doesn't have a stick' wawaaa boo boooQuote:

All i'm saying is give the car its due respect. They have managed to come very far in just a couple of years. who would have thought that the IS would someday have best in class hp when it was released? Who would have thought Lexus would produce a 400+hp monster? they did not HAVE to do it, you know... they make enough money with their current lineup....
the main article is proof enough... yeah yea Hustle vs. Muscle.. whatever. the IS350 DID make BMW's sphincter pucker-up, or that comparo wouldn't exist.
These damn debates always end up the same. For some reason, some BMW owners can't handle anyone saying anything negative about the "ultimate driving machine"...:rolleyes:
#1. This debate wasn't even started nor did it ever mention the "M" series AT ALL. It was 335i vs IS350. THAT was it. How come the BMW nutswingers have to always rely on the ONLY bullet that noone can dispute, the "M"? Great, so the "M" is a badass car most of the time.....SO??? Is the 335i an "M"???? NOOOOOO. So why bring it up? Apples to 747's, way to go Einstein.
#2. How in the world can you slober all over yourself when you try to defend the already KNOWN prowess of an "M3" by saying you have to DRIVE one to understand it when you yourself have obviously NOT driven the car being discussed....the Lexus IS350??? Hello Kettle, my name is POT...:rolleyes:
This argument is stupid. Of course an "M" anything is badass, damn it SHOULD be. It is after all the top of their respective line, right? If it wasn't, then BMW has no business being in the car world. The regular 3 series is NOT an "M". Never has been, never will be. It may be it's little brother or second cousin twice removed, but it ISN'T an "M". Argue with that.
I still stand by my one and only statement: It is not a fair comparo to pit an N/A car that is supposed to be in the same class against it's adversary which is FI. It just isn't even if the raw data numbers seem to used to justify it. An FI car will have inherent attributes that an N/A motor (of equal or lesser value;) ) can't have. Don't bring in monster domestic motors into it either. That's not what we're talking about here.
Indisputable data:
BEFORE the intro of the TWIN TURBO 335i, what was the 3 series non "M" BMW to the IS350??? Was it still the "ultimate driving machine"? It was underpowered and outclassed. Fast forward to 07 and now look.....what's the BIG difference???? TWIN TURBOS. How about we compare N/A to N/A in the exact same lines? How about a comparo between the 328 and the IS350? 70+ HP and 70+ TQ for the IS350. How do you think the BMW will compare then??? And that is with BMW's "new and improved and more powerful than ever" I6. N/A to N/A there is no comparo.
So just like I said, BMW nutswingers are bragging about how the 335i so much better performance wise than an IS350, yet it took TWIN TURBOS to do it. :rolleyes: :goodjob:
I'll say it again for all the haters and nutswingers. The 335i looks to be an exceptional car. I've not drove one YET, but I'm sure I'll be happy when I finally do. I've driven the IS350 quite a bit. I'll be happy to compare them to each other. As a matter of fact, Lexus drive event is coming in October. Unlike other manufacturers, Lexus brings brand new factory COMPETITORS cars for everyone to compare side-by-side. I'm sure they'll bring the 335i then. I'll thrash the crap out of it and wager my opinion on it. Until then....:tongue1: .....It took TWIN TURBOS to get the same numbers that an N/A motor got....you wanna swing off that, cool.;)
my bad, u are correct sir..got my lexi confusedQuote:

There's not much $ to be made with something that's "too reliable". Most cars these days are purposely built as a disposable money pit.
Just like each medical system across the world, no matter how good or bad it is......there's no possible further profit if a cure is found for a disease. That's why some diseases have been brought back from their "no risk" status. Ever heard of "the last case of such and such", etc, etc?

If you want to compare that shouldn't we compare the is250 to the 328i? The 350 vs the 335? What you are really saying is "Damn BMW engineers did something great and Lexus current car can't compete. UNFAIR COMPARISSON!!!" Bullshit.
No one said Lexus can't use a turbo or blower. This is why AMG always has more power. They are CHEATING with large displacement and blowers!
Again. Honda guy mentality. "They cheated". My 99 M3 is better. An 02 M3(which can be had for 25,000... far less than the is350) is WAY better and makes MORE power N/A! Give me a break man. Quit getting mad that BMW used a turbo. Toyota cheated when they turbo'd the Supra. What cheaters. Otherwise their car wouldn't have been good. That just sounds stupid.Quote:

So.... It took you guys 20 years to get to 300hp out of a 6 cylinder! Good Job guys!
On top of ALL of this... The 335 motor is WAY underrated. Claims 300hp on paper. It puts down ~285 to the wheels on the dyno. Do the math ;)

Look folks, you have one guy that SELLS German cars and parts and the other that OWNS a BMW.......why the hell does anyone think that either of them is going to be objective? :rolleyes:
Like I said before, this is exactly what EVERY thread that remotely has BMW associated with it turns into. I wonder why that is????:rolleyes:
If a car is not fast in a straight line, then it's not fast in a straight line. Don't look for excuses why it's not. It just is. Things in the rest of the non-BMW world work like that. You either fix it or move on, it's that simple. If you want to find that small window where YOUR particular car is just "awesome" and pitch a tent around that.....then don't complain when other people who don't choose to stick their head in the sand point out where your short comings are that you conviniently choose to gloss over. If you have a car that is good at only one thing, then it's a purpose built car....right? By definition, a purpose built car is only good at ONE maybe even TWO things. That means that if someone wants it to do THREE or FOUR things, it can't do it very well, right??? So all the complaining and whining in the world is not going to change that FACT. People want to try and re-invent the wheel when it's not necessary. Give credit where credit is due. Where it not for competition, many cars would still be carburated and all headliners would sag. No problem with having brand loyalty, unless that loyalty blinds you to give credit where credit is due.
Speaking of FACTS; Reliability is derived from NUMBERS. Numbers in any language still ADD up and SUBTRACT exactly the same. They are not subjective nor arbitrary. Just like above, they are what they are. Independent research shows what the REAL bottomline is when it comes to reliability between these two cars. The NUMBERS are there and they are CLEAR. BMW lovers can try to muddy up the water as much as they'd like, but unless 3rd grade MATH is trouble for you.....the NUMBERS don't lie. It doesn't matter if you're German or Japanese, 1 is one and 2 is two.
At least you got something right!Quote:

A 2nd Gen IS300 with a big ass turbo can be had for cheap too. Now what? BFD. I know personally of a friend of mine that had a TURBO IS300 that would run circles around YOUR "M" every day of the week and twice on Sunday. What's that got to do with the price of tea in China? Speaking of China, I KNOW there are gobs of modded Lexi in the Orient that would spank YOUR car too. Again, SO WHAT???? We can do this bullshit comparo of "MAYBE" cars all day long. Trust me I've seen and driven my fair share of RAGGED OUT POS M3's in my day. I wouldn't drive one of those rags if you paid me, but that goes the same for ANY ragged out POS. Your point is what??? You have no point because you're comparing apples to dingle berries.
Stick to the comparo. It's 335i vs IS350....not IS250, not 328, not IS300, not the venerable "M". Stick with it. :rolleyes:

This article and writer is SO EXCITED that is is FASTER than the OLD 3 series. HAHHAHAHA Awesome. "Damn this new car is better than the competitions old car! We won!
" Whatever the cause, the car doesn't feel as fast as a 306-hp sedan should as it zips to 60 mph. It does, however, beat the last 330i and A4 we tested (both equipped with six-speed manual transmissions) by 0.5 and 1.6 seconds, respectively. It also blasted through the quarter-mile in 14.2 seconds, smoking the German competition by about the same 0.6 to 1.5 seconds."
335 13.5 1/4 mile
is350 14.2 1/4
Ok this is comparison. Which the 350 lost.Quote:

Now all of a sudden "no it is not about the 1/4 mile".
You're too predictable :rolleyes: Thanks for proving my point.
This is an endless argument....
No diff than the Ford vs Chevy rivalry and whatever other ones that may exist...

Every other car here sucks its dust. Welcome to the most exuberant Lexus ever built."
Yeah. GTFout of here.
But but.. WAIT !!! Didn't you say that "OMFG QUARTER MILE !! BMW don't build cars for the drag strip !! WOWZERS WHO cares about quarter miles?" so then why bring up stats about the 335 quarter mile?
Again. GTFout of here.
