There never was an IS coupe.

I liked the 335i a lot personally. No matter what RPM you are in, you had powerband. I can see what you mean by it being all luxury oriented, and theres definitely more to be had there suspension and engine wise, but its still a really good car I'd say.

While the 335 is nice, I think this is more like it.

Same almost identical body to the 335i coupe and same taillights. I much prefer inline 6s, but we wont be getting the diesels till next year, so its pretty much between those two I'd say.

BMW you can actually work on everything yourself after warranty, not to mention the warranty on them covers literally everything for free. You'd just have to prefer Audis to go that route instead

So we will be getting the TDI. I thought that was just a German photo. Very nice.

Hopefully by the time the warranty runs out I won't have to work on my cars myself anymore

Apparently for now, all we're getting is the S5 which is $50.5k. I thought we were going to get some VW diesels (again) sooner than BMW ones...VW took a 1 year hiatus for 2007 because of the new ULSD fuel for america. Even then, we might not get the A5 in diesel. The X(3, X5) I know for a fact we're getting diesels with, and pretty sure 5, and maybe 3 and 7 series as well.
