The Lexus does a lot of things brilliantly. But the BMW… that does everything brilliantly. In the past youd have to be a cock to buy one; now though, youre a cock if you dont.

Lap time:

IS-F: 1:26.9

The move, which could alter the character of BMW M models, places question marks over the immediate future of the M3s 4.0-liter V8 and the M5s 5.0-liter V10. Both engines will make way for forced-induction engines in coming years, according to high-ranking BMW sources.
