LOL,
I went the opposite direction.
I sold my e90 BMW 330iA Exec for the Lexus IS250 SE A after a mere 8 months of ownership.....
The main reason for going this way was to reduce power and improve petrol consumption.
Here in Jhb, with it being at such high altitude, I knew that the 330 pushed 190kw and yet having such power, I never could learn my lesson and everytime I came across a Golf V GTi, I would have a robot to robot dash and always got murdered in the process...... I figured that if I subconscioulsy knew that I was in a IS250 with a mere 153kw, then I wouldn't be tempted..... So far it's worked.....
Besides, at my age, it's all about the luxuries and comfort etc than power and the IS250's "standard" items far outweighed the "additional options" on a BMW....
I took a R40k knock on my back pocket with the trade and I still say it was worth it...
BTW, Anees, your car looks Awesum
