just think, right now 2 harleys are missing their exhaust thanks to this thing.
I agree...I love the old boxy look, except on the datsun...it's the only car that really deserves curves.

too bad it's a really inefficient swap. it is more cost effective to turbo the stock motor.
Proably, and I bet it sounds no were near as mean as harly acceling hehe!
probably not as loud, but it sounds pretty damn mean when accelerating..

yeah no kidding
One of my customers has one, white in color, nice looking car, again with the auto..... add AWD and a 6 speed option and it would be one hell of a car.
However, for the money, I'd go else where, hell, I'd much rather spend less money and get a 335, chip it and call it a day. or for around the same price M3 > IS-F

Don't get my wrong, it's a nice car. But as Jeffie said, spend less on a 335i, or a couple grand more on the '09 CTS-V
roffl!

YEEEEAAHHHHH
Nice car, moves okay, but honestly it can't compete with the German rivals with an auto and fake exhaust tips. I'd rock a 4-dr M3 for just a few grand more.On the up side, if this car depreciates at a good clip - you should be able to pick one up for cheap a few years down the road.
Still, a 6spd stick would make it way more fun. Hell, even a DSG would be nice.

I'm no fan of the exhaust tips, but I have no idea how fake exhaust tips could factor into being better/worse then a German car.
If I have a civic with a stock cat back exhaust, then run a T3/T4 turbo with 3" downpipe and open dump tubes to a cutout right before the cat so I can fully open the exhaust up making for a full 3" straight out exhaust. Does the stock exhaust that's still in place get factored into the performance?
Yes, cheesy but I have a feeling the stock tips melted the bumper cover. Once they added enough heat protection I bet it made the rear end look too busy.
yes being forced to use an auto sucks but at least it's a legit auto tranny and not another POS IS250/350 auto tranny. and yes the IS250/350 tranny can go suck my bawls, if it wasn't for that POS tranny I'd own one right now.
I do agree the german cars are still better, german = you drive the car and feel more of the feedback from the car. Lexus.... not so much, they're still trying to appeal to a larger range of driver then BMW/Audi.
What is the IS then?
...where exactly is a M3 a few grand more?
How much do you think a new M3 stickers for at this point?
