I still say Andrey has the best looking BMW I've seen, pics anyway.   Grin

I agree, Andrey's BMW is awesome.  I think the coupe is much better looking than the 3 series sedan, I guess they're totally different cars.

Thank you guys for your warm comments

HD, yes, coupe is completely different car
It's built on different chasis and its MY 2007 vs 2005 for sedan
I also think sedan is pretty ugly, untill they facelifted it for 2009
Now it's ok
M3 sedan on the other hand wears coupe's face, much better result

I just don't. It's an improvement from previous, but lines still aren't 'right'.
That's nice. Smiley
Yup.

And what is so great about this car? And why it's underrated?
I havent found anything that would swing me to buy one
I would get M3 or C63 first
At least i can have some backseat and trunk space, which IS-F is lacking
Overly stiff suspension which handles worse than competition and offers uncomfortable ride, hm.. sounds good....................................NOT

Here is my take on "biased"
A lot of magazines and reviewers a biased and BMW friendly
I wonder why
I think they called each other and desided that BMW is their favorite car
Fairly good explanation, no?
Or I think they all got compensated for spredding the word

The funny thing is:
Many drivers would bash bimmers all day long and few months later you see them on BMW forums bashing thier previously-owned Infinitis, Lexuses, Audis, etc

I wonder why there are so many BMW-biased people

There's a bunch of people on lexus forums who traded in, or passed, on M3's/C63's for the IS-F...

As for leg room, I've been in a 3 series.. the rear legroom is not what I would constitute as "usable" at a mere 3"~ more. The IS-F has more leg room up front. The IS-F has a slightly larger trunk than the M3 as well...

Neither the M3 or the IS-F or C63 are purchased as "daily drivers" for families (>=3 people), I'd say...

I dunno OZ
My friend 6'2'' rides comfortably on the back seat
And i have rear-facing car seat there which would have been a problem with 3 less inches
Trunk is pretty big, bugaboo stroller fits perfectly and a lot of space left for shopping
You can always fold down rear seats even for more space

My coupe is A family car for 3

P.S. Some people passed on 335i and bought G37, but it doesnt mean there are happy. Normally they say it's a good car, with lots of gadgets and cost a lot less, but they are not as happy
