NICK: I agree... lol... that digital clock reminded me of my dad's 87 Supra! I swear it's the same one!
I did go from M3 to ISF... ISF has WAY more TQ... and is the better DD... M3 is a beast... and a great car... but so is ISF... And we all know what a BMW is like once it has 50K on it... whereas the LEXUS won't see the dealer till 100K+++
The M3 for me, was way to 'peaky' for the rpm driving day to day... i liked being able to 'lug' my ISF and still have solid acceleration, whereas the M3 needs to be above 5K to really do anything.
The ISF is the better 'all around' car... the M3 the better 'purpose built' car IMO.
The ISF once equipped with same size tires is better balanced on the road course too... but with oem size tires... can push much easier than the M3 at the limits.
I ran my ISF at Auto Club Speedway in Cali... and smoked all the other E9X M3 best track times still to this day... 6 piston front brembos are no joke.
For the reliability... if you're choosing a 40K mileage + car... the ISF should be the clear choice. If you choosing brand new... and plan to sell in 2 or 3 years... nothing wrong with an M3... and I still miss mine.
