Imma gonna do it: im replacing my daily with an A5 Sportback.

[Schadenfreude]

Yea im getting the 261 hp One. I already got an m340 so i didnt want to get a regular 3 as my daily. so i was thinking beteween the a5, is350 or g70. But i decided on the A5. Although the is350 look good, the engine is way too disappointing

the IS is old AF at this point; that engine is basically bulletproof though. It's not turbocharged though, and it's got an ancient transmission which is probably why it's disappointing

Lexus could have had a generational with the new IS if they werent so conservative.

Like other posters said just stay on the maintenance and maybe change the stock tires when you have to change them. Other than that enjoy.

Alternatively, do the preventative maintenance yourself (if you know how or are inclined to learn) and make FCP Euro your best friend.

It is a very comfortable ride.

It's not that they're conservative, it's that the IS is lower on the pecking order and sales for a redesign. They absolutely HAD to update the LX & GX. The ES is a big seller for them, that one is next. I think the IS is after the ES redesign.

Whats a good place to get a All Black Grille?

Whats a good place to get a All Black Grille?

For an Audi? It's usually part of the Black Optics package; you'll have to check around for pricing as it can vary quite a bit. The only question you'll have to decide is if you want a chrome logo, blacked out logo, or gun metal logo on the grille itself.

Note: some grilles have the radar cruise sensor integrated which can make them REALLY expensive.

FCP Euro can get you pricing on one, so can ECS Tuning (VIN is going to be required).

No. It's easy if you've got some patience in dealing with plastic clips.
