...of my new Blue on Black IS-F. Unfortunately it's raining here in Sunny Florida today, so no pictures just yet. Initial impressions are as follows:

Likes:
------
  • Ride
  • Noise level below 3600rpm
  • Noise from engine above 3600rpm :)
  • Audio system
  • iPod integration (dealer installed the Vaistech module)
  • Bluetooth
  • Navigation
  • Voice Activation system for Audio, etc
  • Color is sweet!

Dislikes:
----------
  • Bluetooth won't download my contacts from my iPhone into the phonebook?
  • A little snug in the Cabin, but not terrible (I'm 6'2", 240lbs so anything is snug for me)
  • Trunk opening is very small, even though trunk itself is pretty big
  • Back seats won't fold down

That's all I have so far, more to come over the next few days. :D

Chris, Congrats on the UltraSonic "F" !!!
Just to let you know, the IPhone itself is the reason your contact's won't download. And the rear seats won't fold because of the bolsters would not allow a "lay flat" position.

I just left Florida a few days ago where indeed it rained almost everyday all day....
Just to let you know, the IPhone itself is the reason your contact's won't download.
True...but my 335i downloaded them...:) Might be that it just used the iPhone's list, I don't actually know. This is not a deal breaker for me, just kind of annoying.

And the rear seats won't fold because of the bolsters would not allow a "lay flat" position.
Again, not a deal breaker. It's kind of nice to have the extra storage without having to throw stuff in the backseat. This is really only a problem with I go to the track and I have to bring a bunch of extra stuff in the car for the trip there. ;)
"Unfortunately it's raining here in Sunny Florida today"

You know that's how it is, it could rain across the street and be sunny on the other side... crazy a$$ Florida. Congratulations buddy... after the first couple hundred miles cruise on I-75 AT 100MPH and blast that stereo to your favorite tune..lol
it's better that the rear seats don't fold them. much better for structural integrity. :)
Congrats on your IS-F. Show us pics when you can! :)

Hope to get some this weekend, but alas it is still raining on and off, so I can't keep the car clean enough for some good pictures. :(
Welcome aboard. I got blue too. You'll love the car. Put it on the track at Moroso & enjoy the curves.
Congrats!!!
Hey congrats,

How does the IS-f compare to 335i?

I have a 135i from work currently and it's a psychotic car so I assume the 335 i is also a blast?

Never drove the Is-f yet but what is your take on the subjet.

Thanks, Don-
My wife drives a brand new 335i conv and I have the F. For just cruising around with the top down the 335i is great and a real show stopper. It is Montego Blue Metallic with a cream interior. But for the sheer pleasure of driving I will take my F hands down over the 335i.

You need to drive an F to appreciate it. Mine has almost 10,000 miles on it and I smile each morning when I slip into it to drive to work.

BTW I will be 70 in less than six months and still "feel the need for speed"
Congrats on being almost 70! I keep telling my wife that my need for speed will never change! I'll be 100, in a motorized wheelchair with a turbo!!! haha
"BTW I will be 70 in less than six months and still "feel the need for speed"

Woo hoo,,, that's me..god bless... if I make it to 70 I'll never change my driving habits as well,and if I cant see then I'll get thicker glasses...LOL
Regardless of how old we are, we still need to have fun and enjoy life! Driving our Fs is enjoyment!
looks like ill be getting one at the end of august. mercedes dealership here still wants sticker for their C63 AMGs. best they said they could do is 1500 off msrp. on a v8? in this economy? on a car thats already north of 70k and going to be north of 80k after CALIFORNIA taxes/title/reg? no thanks.

ill get an isf, where i can get the car for basically invoice +500, and be out the door for 60k. hmm. pocket the 20k for lets see.. tires, some mods down the road, and that new jack and the box smoothie.
^$500 over invoice?! dang, do you have hookups? lol
WP, who in their right mind would sell a IS-F for $500 over??? I can see a IS250 for that, but not an IS-F.
dealership near my house. largest volume lexas dealer in the west coast.

u guys might get 1-2 a month, this dealership gets 4-5 a month.
they now have 7 on the lot. contrary to popular belief, good deals can be had if u look. i am 100 percent positive i can get this car for 54k fully loaded with a window price of a shade under 61k.

some people are smart. they realize that if they make a quick sell and make 2k on a car its a lot better than holding off hoping to catch a sucker who will pay 5k over invoice so u can make 6k.
