It’s a hard feeling to describe, but I would say “smoother” and “more elegant” from a driving perspective (not surprising since the IS has double wishbone front suspension, compared to the struts on the 2/3/4.
Personal preference, obviously, but the IS500 so far is a damn good car.

Of course, not a criticism. They are all whimsical to some degree, I have a GT4 in my garage after all. I just spent an hour looking at E92 M3’s because I really want another one. If you did your research and got what you wanted congrats. The IS 500 is a very cool car, quite different to an M3 Xdrive in terms of ethos. It’s certainly the last of a generation, I considered one before getting the M340, never had the chance to drive one though. Post up a comparison once you get some miles.
