FINALLY after much debate, got my 04.5 DGC.
Well.. long story short.. i had an 03 X5 4.4i and after 55k a valve spring broke inside the engine.. luckily a family freind works at South Bay BMW and they covered it under warranty.. had they not.. i dont know what the cost would have been.. so after that i figured that the BMW was too big and costly of a liability to drive in traffic to downtown LA everyday..
so my debate.. IS350 or Pre 05 Coupe (because of the brembos)
after seeing and driving the IS350 it's a NICE car.. but its not really that fun to drive.. it is fast.. but its an automatic!! so i dont feel the response and control over all that power that i'd like.. and MORE that once i mistook them on the road for the Corolla!!! After that i knew my choice was easy.. if i spent over 40k and someone mistook my new lexus for a corolla.. i'd cry!
Soooo.. i picked up a DG 04 Coupe.. w/ NAV 6MT and the Brembos i wanted..
i'm happy with my decision thus far!
