i have 3 series and IS in my family, and drive them both, IS drives much smoother than the 3 series. its just all around smoother

i like the bimmer just as much, but the IS is just smoother.

and mine's a 03 2door 325 so probably a little underpowered compared to ZHP

and bimmer is more of a bitch to maintain/fix than lexus.

A 325 is not even close to a ZHP in any comparison, not even in the same ball park.

And he's saying that your fam's bmw, a 325, isn't even close to a 330 ZHP in any(key word) comparison. Which can mean many things besides performance.

i just told him what my feel of bmw over lexus, cuz the OP asked wether he should get a bmw or lexus.

who gives a fuck about comparing a 325 to a 330zhp, i didnt say shit about whether one handles better or the other or goes faster, i just said lexus feels smoother.




they look a like dont they?

no they don't. and yes the ZHP is smooth as fuck, hugs the road, smooth over bumps, shifts smoothly, accelerates smoothly, i'm not really sure what isn't smooth about the ZHP.

smoother ride, less aggressive throttle, smoother power-band, are the big things i notice.
