in outright performance, 330i is slightly better ...contrary to popular belief, the Bimmer handles worse, tho'.
Never driven the IS300 but I know the IS200 that's been sold over here over the last 2.5 years to hold it in high regard as a driver's car. In fact, despite all the mags hanging on to their pushing the 3-series Bimmer as "The Ultimate Driving Machine" I think that the Lexus IS is the _only_ compact exec out thate that qualifies as such right out of the box. In comparison, most 3-series feel like luxury boats, A4 and Merc C-class have very little communication in their steering and chassis, and the 9-3 -as it comes from the factory- has a great engine and (sometimes getting the better off) an average chassis, although the latter is largely disguised by the nice, solid, "compact" feel these cars have gained over the years.
But as always, YMMV
Happy Saabing,
Eric
