M3 pricing vs Lexus IS F?

HDEddie1 · 01-31-2013, 01:21 PM

While it remains to be seen what the 2014 BMW M3 street price will be, just bugging me is the Lexus IS F at about $62K. Not to be confused with the affordable IS 350 with "F sport" accessories package (still a V6 and would be more in league with the 335i "M Sport" package), the IS F has a robust V8 and true sport suspension.

I've driven the previous ISF but settled on an F10 550i as my long haul cruiser.

But a daily sporty driver? M3 vs IS F? Hmmm. Can't wait for the for the real world comparison.

Too early to say but the previous IS had a tiny back seat and would not have been a great long haul cruiser. The ISF was known to have an overly harsh suspension.
