I have recently test drove both of these cars...to me Lexus is the obvious winner...faster, more reliable, nicer interior, nicer looking exterior, customer service is insulting with BMW while superb with Lexus, far more tech in the Lexus...the list goes on...I'm not saying BMW are bad cars...I just think Lexus offers the informed buyer more.
I own neither of these cars but I'm looking and considering both. Stock for stock very similar but what really tweaks me towards the 335i is what they do with just an intake and a tune. Love both of these cars but the 335i has a leg up for easy extra hp. If not for that I'd probably lean back towards the IS.
okay.... i literally read every single comment here...
u guys need to understand. a BMW lover will never agree, and a Lex driver would never agree either.
IS350 is faster off the line up to 125MPH and then the 335i will start pulling on it.
I own a 2008 IS350, ive raced a shit ton of cars as well as a 335i. i raced a 335i from Dead Stop, and i beat it up to 125, then he started pulling, were both experienced drivers and both our cars are dead stock.
BMW's 3 series come standard with FAKE LEATHER! They call it "leatherette." That, my friend, is ghetto. Don't get me wrong, the 335i is pure sex, but what a piece of junk reliability wise. You cannot ignore the fact that they are mechanical nightmares. Oil cooler, HPFP issues- Dude, how do you design a car and forget to include an oil cooler? Seriously. Lexus PWNS in reliability and speed...BMW = Big Money Wasted
OK, you would be able to hear the whine of the supercharger if it was supercharged... Also, the IS 350 is faster than the 335i stock... So, the 335i should have barely beaten it.... The verdict? That was an IS 250. The poster of this vid is full of it. Race my IS350 and put it on here.
You guys are all nuts. It's close, but the 335i is USUALLY the quicker of the two, when both are stock. 350 only traps 102-103 vs 14-105 for the 335. The 350 is just geared very deeply which means the BMW 335 will walk away hard at about 110mph.
335i doesn't walk away hard at 110 mph you idiot. The test data shows IS350 gets 110 mph in 15.4 sec while the 335i gets 15.7 or .8 sec. It's not faster, it's slower than the IS350. You have to get above 120 mph to start overtaking the IS. The IS doesn't behave the same as the Automatic TL like it stops accelerating at 112 mph you stupid. You didn't even actually drive the IS and take it up 120~ 145 mph. It's also heck a lot faster than the TL 6MT at 4th gear, you stupid fuckin fag.
is350 is faster in a straight line no doubt (which i think is really impressive) and it is more reliable, i promise you all these 335i's are going to break down in a few years. about 350 hp on a twin turbo 3 L (relatively small) V6 especially with all the chips and shit people are putting on them. and we all know how bmw like to beat down their machines lol
yet the 335i is definitely the better drivers car (comes in a stick too), its a much more rewarding in the way it handles and feels.
um that was clearly an is 250 : ) i have an is 350 & for the record i burn 335i's no way in hell is a 335i gonna beat a 350. unless the bmw was seriously modded.
You mean 330i...LOL. There is no f*cking way a IS350 would come close to the 335. Stock vs stock a 335 would pwn the cr*p out of IS350 even if they both make 300 HP simply because of its broader power curve and it has way more torque coming in early in the powerband.
you can say anything you want about a BMW. bcus while bmw's are limited at 155mph ... lexus keeps going all the way to 171mph!! so i would say that lexus has the last laugh!!!
@gus738 dude those are 330 not 335.. with the 335 you 0-60 in 5 flat with the is350 is 5.6... think again.. and this is a real race.. lexus dosent compare with the bmw..
@7171561200 in your dreams. it does it in 5.7 man.. get your fax right! and the 330 does it just a couple milliseconds later but in the end the 330 would win cuz the is350 loses power after 80mph.. but dont forget this German cars are made to be powerful on the high speeds too. go test drive them both and come back and talk to me!
@vasylhr Um...man you need to get your facts right. The is350 will run 5.7 if grandma is driving it, but 4.7 is normal for the 350. The 335i can also hit 60 in less than 5 sec. (not sure about exact time). And the 335 wont start to pull ahead of the 350 until around 110 mph.
@gus738 an IS350 can beat a 335i? WTF are you smoking kid? The IS350 doesnt even compete with the 335i in comparison tests, and comparison tests from agazines mean absolutely nothing since all freal life encounters will have different affects, If my olf full bolt on+Kpro RSXS could smoke IS350 with an exhaust (not sure what other mods since I didnt talk to the owner) then you need reality check. my 370z was pretty much neck and neck when it was stock with 335i's and I rape IS350's all day in it
@psmTARDCORE The IS 350 is faster than the 335i. Type 335i vs is350 on here and you will see dozens of IS350s raping 335is. This video was most likely an is250. My is350 will destroy your 370z or RSX Piece of $hit.
@jbayse99 HAHAHA what do you think an IS350 does 0-100 in? The 1/4 mile? It is underpowered and heavy as hell. The gear atios suck and the engines isn't as mod friendlyas the VQ370VHR or the 335i's. You post these videos of you running high 13's and trapping as much as my RSX did... The first time I took my Z to a 1/4 I ran a 13.6@106.4 mph with Stillen G3's. Now I have full bolt ons and while I can't get passed 12.9XX I am still trapping 109-111mph. The ISF is more compared to the 335i and 370z
@psmTARDCORE The IS-F competes with the M3. They are exactly the same speed. The IS 350 is faster than the 335i. I don't know why this is such a hard concept to grasp. My IS 350 did 13.7 @ 102 on a hot NC day. It should be somewhere around 13.3 @ 105. Let's see vids of your Z running 12s.
@jbayse99 the 335i is a low 13@104-5mph. I am not gonna argue with you as you are set in your ways and its like talking to a wall. I suppose you think your IS is faster than a 370z as well LOL Maybe a corvette too? Im done responding to your nonsense
@jbayse99 Thats because its the only N/A 6 cyl in its league... I mean the sad thing is that you genuinely believe your IS350 is faster than a full bolt on + Stillen UD pullet 370z. I dont try adn race Z06's every time I see them maybe you should take lessons from that.
@psmTARDCORE Yeah, I mean the G37, (then) A4, previous M3, TL, C350... They aren't 4 door n/a 6 cyl. Either way, the BMW 335i uses twin turbos and somehow manage to be slower than the IS 350 and break down constantly. No wonder BMW is switching the 335i to a single turbo. They are pathetic at reliability. They always have and always will. Dude, I know a 370Z is faster than the IS350. Even stock. One ran a 13.1 @ 109 stock.
?? what the fuck?!? IS did 13.7...even standard,no mods-335i get better 1/4 mile time..tons of videos of official drag times in here youtube...tons!!!!! remapped 335i gets about 12.5s...so how is the IS with 13.7s faster?? tell us.
@paapaa33 My IS350 ran a best of 13.6 @ 102 in 80 something degree heat last summer. I'd love to see a 335i beat it in the summer heat in the south. It would never happen stock vs. stock. I am going to try and get a couple passes this weekend. I should be around a 13.3... I will post vid results. Just search 335i vs IS350. Almost every video shows 335i's getting raped by ISs. Sure the 335i has much more mod potential. No one is arguing against that.
@gus738 your obviously not an owner of a 335i nor a is350. it seems to me that you get all your info form you tube and not actually driving the cars. i myself own both a 2007 335i and a 2010 is350 and hands down the 335i is faster no questions asked. both of my cars are not stock now but even with the mods on the is350 my 335i with chip and full exhaust still spanks the IS all day. daily driven wise i would say the is350 is best but overall power 335i is beast!!
no matter what, the is350 can not keep up with a modded 335 regardless how much mods is on the is350. Is350 has way too much restrictions. The S/C kit only gives about ~40 WHP. VS the tune on 335 gives 80 WHP/80 Torque. which makes the 335 to about ~360 WHP vs the is350 ~300 WHP with boost.
yeah but what ive seen in those sc's is that they make the car loose power.. like the gray is350 it is way slower than normal.. eitherways still we all know is350s are faster stock for stock look at all the vids here in youtube plus it is a more practical car more comfortable and of course MORE RELIABLE.. besides in this vid that bmw had a friking HUGE jump of course its going to make it look slow..
They don't make them loose power. People dyno the LMS s/c with approx. ~40WHP. Stock for stock 1/4 mile. I would say the is350 would be faster. since they are way easier to launch than the 335. The 335 would win on a roll for sure. Since the is350 don't have enough torque compared to the 335. The 335 is way friendly modly so if you guys are looking for a car that is friendly modly = 335. $500 mod will get you in the low 12s.
i am really impressed lol i expected you to answer as all bmw fanboys reply very ignorant and close minded yeah i know the is350 is faster in 1/4 mile but not sure from roll but still those is350 are really realy quick for what they are.. and yes i know 335 mod like the vishnu and all that which give em lots of power that would be true
lol be realistic.. Is350 first of all doesn't need to be supercharged nor a car length to keep up to 335i.. this video is full of poop.
