The ISF is about on par to an M235i to 60, 100 and 1/4 mile, worse skidpad, takes longer to brake and terrible MPG; other than mildly better car inside but nothing great. I've test driven one of those and came away scratching my head that anyone would take this over an M3. I wouldn't even take it over an M235i, which is why I didn't. Less engaging in almost every respect for $20k more, no thanks.
Certainly not a BMW fanboy, but out of those cars only the GTR is a better drivers car and it's triple the cost so I'd hope so.

You seem to go a bit deep in specifics on ISF. Did you test both cars on the same day, with same weather, on the same tires ?
I would take ISF over M235i and M3 any day, its got V8 and its reliable, it also posts similar track results as e92 M3. BMW has stolen 8-speed tranny from Lexus lol...shame, although Lexus tranny still shifts a bit faster according to specs
