Guys, I just wrote a 2 page long reason why I wanted this comparison. It logged me out and I cant retrieve it. I ll just be brief.

Could you please tell me why you chose the IS F over the E90 M3, if you drove it?

Ill be a dad in 2 months, selling my 06 ZCP m3 and buying one of the two above. Having a hard time choosing, Im sure some of you had the same situation.

Could you please tell me what did it for you? And thank you in advance, and also forgive me if this has been asked, I searched to the best of my abilities and couldn't find this point of discussion. thank you.

I had my eyes set on the M3 but when i test drove it I was disappointed. Torque comes in way late and you need to drive it at high rpm to appreciate. When I tried the ISF, I knew it right away. The smile meter needle was all the way to the right. I bought the very unit I tried. I was simply impressed. For me it's a no brainer.

This is pretty much what made me want to go the IS F way.

The BMW V8 can rev higher (shorter stroke) but the torque comes in much later in higher revs, my Stage 2 STi felt faster than that car.

The IS F was just brute force from the get go. Punch it and you're gone.
