Interesting comparo. The IS-F being not much if at all faster than the 335i comes up again. The IS-F doesn't do badly here, but is let down by the details. Automatic tranny, fake exhausts, styling and just being slower. I'd have to be fair and say not bad for their first time out. The real test for the IS-F (and likely humiliation) will be when it is compared to the M3 Sedan and C63 AMG.
