I’d advise against getting the IS500, it is a compromised product and this is coming from a longtime Lexus fan and I currently have a 2021 IS350 F-Sport. If you care about driving dynamics you will be disappointed with the IS500. Toyota basically made the IS500 in a rush due to the overwhelming demand from the US for an IS-F successor. What they got was just a regular IS350 F-Sport with dynamic handling package with the 5.0L V8 stuffed inside and upsized front brakes from a GS350 F-Sport, literally nothing else was done to it. It drives exactly like an IS350 with a V8, that’s it. An imbalance for sure and not a true F car. Also, the 8-speed auto is extremely dated compared to the ZF 8-speed and it’s tuned for smoothness NOT sportiness. Your m340i is faster from a dig and probably handles better than the IS500.
