You know, you might be better off with the L-tuned since the realiability on the Lexo's are better than the Bimmers.
Good luck to ya nonetheless.

People can recognized the Bimmer right away, but many will look at the Lex trying to figure out if it is NOT a modded Civic. I would probably go lower in price and get something that is a better bang for the bucks.

The IS300 is a sweet car. I'd personally take it over a 3-series or an A4 just because it's Japanese and reliable, and a good bit cheaper. Yeah, the interior isn't as nice, but that's a tradeoff.
I think even $4600 for the L-tuned package is a lot, but that's probably because I'm more into go-fast mods than anything else. The type of "Tuned" package I'd buy would have more aggressive cams, revised engine management, other engine tweaks, maybe some suspension and chassis upgrades, 6spd manual, and hopefully about 240 HP or so. If Honda can get 260 HP out of a 3.2L then Toyota sure as heck can get 240 out of a 3.0.
Or how bout forgetting all of that and just putting on a TRD Supercharger.
Is one even out yet?
