    Damn Yonkers, is that your M5? What does the license plate say?

    Anyways, go with the Lexus. I've had an 04 3 series for a while now, and it hasn't been the best experience. I don't know much about the newer BMW's though.

    Gotta get an extended warranty on a BMW.

    Yonkers - Your car is sick although black is super hard to maintain. I want a new (used) car in about a yr or so.. I was thinking of a pre-owned 09 M5. But still going back and forth with an amg of some kind..

    That's the old Florida plates. I got normal Texas plates now. I'm waiting for the 7-letter plates to come out because I want to register, BATMOBL. lol
    And yeah, black is harder to maintain than my white 3 series but it looks so damned good when it's clean.

    I drive a 1994 ford ranger with 210,000 miles. And I've never been happier

    What does the new MY 2012 F30 look like? I've only seen the swirly covered pictures on the internet

    I'd either go with the BMW or Lexus, depending on what you prefer. BMW has more of a sturdier feel to the steering wheel, while Lexus steering feels looser. It's easier to turn in a Lexus, but the BMW feels safer to me.

    IS250 is a girls car.

    Try out the IS-F. You'll be speechless after you drive it.

    I hate the new TX blue plates! So tacky :eek:

    I have a black TL (6 speed) that I bought when I was 21 about 5 yrs ago. My first black car so I didn't know how to maintain it. Bird ish is the enemy!

    IS is a pretty nice car.... I would go with that.

    G37... It's a pretty nice car, I was going to get it but I'm inclined to get the 370z now.. They're both pretty much the same car... same engines... I prefer the 370z because of its appearance.

    Random question from a friend looking for used car this month:

    "Would I be an idiot for buying a car w/ 80K miles even if I got an extended warranty? the car is 07' Tahoe fully loaded. Mistake? "

    I think he was referring to the fact that you bought a Chevy. Not that I agree, but he bolded that part
