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

[Mike Lowrey]

3. What does it mean BMW can't touch Lexus service?

Don't be stupid. There is no contest here. They are not evey in the same universe with respect to service and reliability.

BMW makes drivers cars for the driver. The dash is angled towards the driver. The seats the gauge placements and controls. For the driver. Rear seat leg room? Who gives a fuck. The passengers aren't driving. If a car is not offered in manual it is not a sports car. That is just weak. You used to even be able to get a manual 5 and 7 series back in the day.

I really wish people would stop trying to say that BMW's are sports cars. Most BMW vehicles are sport sedans (i.e. sporty sedan). There is nothing "sports car" about a 3 series.

There is no comparison.

Actually there IS a comparison. I have always wondered why the BMW crowd got so defensive when the IS350 came out. The IS350 is some areas is better than the BMW and in other areas it is not as good. Competition is good for all consumers.



Message to BMW 3-series nut-swingers:

Your car is not the ultimate vehicle. It is not the best car in the world. It is not a sports car.
