I'm facing a bit of a problem, i've been saving up my money for a while now, and want to cash out on a new car(by new I mean used, LOL) But i'm stuck between a 2009-2011 BMW 335i Coupe or a 2008-2013 Lexus IS350. I'm sort of big on car customization, but i'm not really into the whole Hellaflush and dropping your car to the ground thing. If I we're to get the Lexus, i'd make it look something like this. http://www.flickr.com/photos/autoglitz-carlos/5418902153/sizes/l/in/photostream/

Something simple and clean. I'd do a drop, exhaust, cold air intake, and maybe a simple clean body kit. Same goes for the BMW: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showthread.php?t=377559 I've actually fallen in love with that exact BMW and want to make mine look exactly like that if I we're to get it, haha. So could someone help me differentiate the two and help me make a decision? In terms of cost to maintain, reliability, value, and which one makes people's heads turn around when I drive by .
