Nice to see the car being opened up more. lol

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.

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!

I don't hate the Lexus, I just don't like their agument of BMW needing turbos. If they were smart, they'd notice the e46 was a 3.2 liter Inline 6 producing 33 HP more than their Lexus IS350 using a higher displacement...Turbo's is just a new idea, keeping the mid range and upping the power. You can call it fanboys, but I guess Im one too considering I have only owned BMW's thoughout my driving career.

Actually, the turbo and direct fuel injection will help with fuel economy, good power delivery, and better emissions. I wonder which car gets better fuel mileage, the 335i or the IS350?

Not to get you guys off track on the IS350, 3-Series talk... but you can tell that it must of gotten into some type of fender bender because if you look closely the hood dosent seem to be going with the fender line on the car... or thats just how it might be because it is a tester
