sorry but only german cars are able to lose more than 60% of their price within 3 years, not japanese. check, lexus is famous for its reliability and keeping price, it was the car who did beat mercedes in US when they start to sell it there and still it’s better in any aspect.

you should have go to specsavers, then read more about cars and drive them before you speak. how you could compare ordinary german car with one of the most beuatiful designed cars, reliable, comfortable and such a pleasure to drive. it has just been created,almost the same speed and performance( less bhp) like so called sporty germans. it is not on the market for 20 or more years like bmw or merceds, but it will be like basic toyota beat the german cars more than 10 years ago and still carry on.

I have to say many stupid people picking the M3. Its a BMW, people who think they are all that own those things. The Merc is ugly and who would buy a Japan made car the is dominated by the Germans. The RS4 is the way to go. No stupid trigger shifting, it has the power the looks. Audi makes the best and will always…..And look out M5 owners, RS6 comming soon!!!!!!

Well it’s easy to compare a light sport cope to two 4 door sport salons, compare the M3 with the Audi R8 and you see the difference.

I own the latest model M3 (in white) and I must say it is an exceptional car.
It has everything,nothing else comes close!!

M3 is simply an exceptional car. It has it all, looks, pace, handling, room for four, and it turns heads particularly in White.

Its simply a dream car.

Firstly, the Lexus cannot even be compared with the Germans, yes it’s a beautiful car, but it’s gotta face the facts, it’s not German!

As for the Merc, I hate the C-Class, as it’s so damn ugly, you’d think with that much performance, they could at least make the car look a bit more sportier!

Now as for the Audi, I have got to say: I love Audis and they are probably the most beautiful cars on the road… but… but… it just isn’t a BMW!!!

M3 all the way. For any car to match the M3 it will have to be 1 or 2 engine sizes bigger. C63 is 6.3, Lexus IS-F is 5, RS4 is 4.2.

That tells you how special M3s or BMWs in general are. To match a Beemer’s power, pace and specs other manufactures simply have to build bigger engines.

BMW M3 always….Who else can keep generating the handling that the “M” cars have? No one like BMW.

I think that the new bmw m3 is the is on its way to be the king of sports cars as i own one and the new mercedes c63 amg which are both astonishing machines built to meet the buyers needs in luxury and comfort to race spec

From the sounds of things, the Lexus isnt the sharpest car. Which is a shame, because I own an LS430, and I was genuinely curious about this car.

For anyone with this type of cash lying around, I guess it depends what you’re after. Sports car, fast GT, or pose factor.

But at the moment, I have to say the Lexus is off my shopping list. Not quite sharp enough in the corners, a bit on the portly side, and while looks are obviously subjective, it doesnt move me anywhere near the M3.

It looks like the staus remains very much quo.

I love the RS4 but my choice as always would be the M3.It was the best of its kind 20 years ago and still is!BMW’s M cars always seem to have the edge.
