BTW, the 335i doesn't just catch up to it, it beats it. But more importantly, Lexus has never gotten the handling/ride equation perfected. Even the 330i with sports package does not have a punishing ride like the IS350, but still the BMW handles better.

Also, the IS350 is cramped in the rear. Funny how the 3-series is more practical, more comfortable, and more fun and now it is even faster!

Speaking of the M3, I'm soo impressed with the rumors that have been going out claiming the coming M3 will have 400+ HP out of a 4 Liter V8. Such low displacement yet high HP and TQ.

I read a lot on other forums, and the common hate right now with the Lexus forum is saying the 335i needs turbos to catch up to it... Almost as if they don't realise the IS350 has a 3.5 liter engine and the 330i had a 3.0. liter engine making 255 and the new 335i still using a 3.0 liter engine as well.

Now the intro of this new M3 just makes the BMW brand soo appealing knowing the creativeness behind it making a small engine pushing big engine numbers.
