well, again i seem to have fucked up. The new technical stuff that has come out along with the E9x series is making it quite confusing.

PZEV apparently has stainless steel tanks and lines, whereas SULEV is just the engine. So the N51 is a SULEV II engine.

Washington, Oregon, Connecticut, and Rhode Island have all adapted SULEV emissions guidelines, so therefore the N51 is now offered in these states along with previous SULEV states, California, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Maine

As far as why only AT can be set behind a SULEV engine, i don't know.

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but that front air damn is disgusting.

But I think these PSes are a bit off, I think it would be closer to the M Sports Pack released for the E92 already.

Similar. . .



Just like how the M5 bumper is very similar to the M Sports Packaged E60, except for the foglights of course.

But I'm sure it will be almost the same as the test cars we've seen. I'm only curious for the wheels.

I knew the hood would make the car

Lexus should take note and redesign their hideous IS-F hood.

Great job using the CSL rims too.. damn I want one.. NOW.
