German Muscle vs. Japanese Hustle (335i vs IS350)

[1SICKLEX]

Both are great cars, but lets go back in time a lil..
Toyota had a 3.0 TT making 320 hp, uhhh, since 1993 in the Aristo TT in Japan and the Supra TT here and in Japan. BMW making 300 hp from a TT I-6 is fantastic but Toyota did it over a decade ago.

Did yall know the BMW uses Mitsubishi turbos? Now it is a much easier engine to mod, people are chipping it getting 350-375hp with no problems.

The 3.5 V-6 in the IS 350 is NA, it makes 306hp and has been tested 0-60 in 4.9 seconds in R&T. The car is very quick.

THe BMW does handle better stock, the IS 350 still has some work in that area but its not that far off.

I prefer the IS 350s looks to the 335 coupe, I cannot believe it looks bland to me. I really like how the 3 series sedan looks though.

Also the BMW engines have been overheating left and right, they did not put an oil cooler in initial models, they are now. The Lexus, well its a Lexus it won't break down. The BMW does have free just about everything maintenance the first 50k miles.

how well will their sequential system hold up. Some people just convert over to single turbo applications i.e (Supra, Rx-7).

Yes let's go back even farther into the 1970's when BMW came out with a fantastic little car called the 2002. I'm just saying that BMW did it's factory turbo fun before Toyota did, to my knowledge. Not counting racing engines or any twin turbo setups, just a single turbo, but wtf do I know I'm a noob. Anyways BMW ftw.
