Replying to: circlew (May 04, 2007 10:24 am) But the E90's styling does not move me at all. It's certainly not a bad looking car, but in my eyes it's a step backward from the E46. The first time that I saw that generation, back in 1999, I was filled with lust. I had to own that car. And looking at my 2001 330i still gives me great pleasure. I still look over my shoulder as I walk away from it. By contrast, when I see an E90, I think, "Well, that's nice". It manages not to give offense, but that's about it. Because my BMW is a weekend fair weather pleasure ride, the miles are low. And that means that 2 years from now, I may well decide that all I need is a new set of tires to keep me happy for another 2 years.

My wife and I drove the Blue ridge parkway, in our is350, a little more than a month ago from Fancy Gap, VA to its Southern end in NC. I have to say that the paddle shifters were absolutely great (made it a breeze to change gears). The car handled exceedingly well and we drove the parkway with minimal braking. I also hear how the 3 series BMW blows the IS 350 away in the handling area. The drivers of all the BMWs we encountered on the parkway were always braking hard at turns and on inclines. ... so much for the BMW's great handling capabilities.

Replying to: fl_xy001 (May 06, 2007 2:33 pm) Then again, I blew away an IS350 on a double wide freeway ramp this weekend, and I was driving my wife's minivan. ...so much for the vaunted handling capabilities of the Lexus IS twins. Best Regards, Shipo
