IS350 awd
« on: June 27, 2016, 03:29:22 pm »
I finally pulled the trigger on a new car. Replacing my 328i 6spd with the IS350 awd.

I think I'm getting old. I like the quietness of the is and all the creature comforts that go along with it. I obviously will miss my Manuel but it just give me an excuse to buy a fun car!!  Miata anyone???

Here's a pic before pdi.

Very nice ride - enjoy!
Wokeism is nothing more than the recognition and opposition of bigotry in all its forms.  Bigots are predictably triggered.

Congrats!


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

Congrats, great choice!  Looking forward to more pics.
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

Love the colour too. Wasn't sure at first. Maybe too flashy but it looks amazing in the sun.
My wife wanted me to buy this one.

You can't go wrong. Any color is  :thumbup: Any plans for light modding?  Exhaust maybe?

Best colour they offer that car in imo.  I love it.

Great car.  Amazing car.  The 3.5L D4S is fantastic.  The AWD works great.  A close friend of mine has an F-Sport AWD and I fell in love within two minutes of driving it.

Though keep in mind that the car will easily last 400K - so hopefully you won't tire of it!
