Hi everyone, my wife and I are having a hard time deciding between the 2 cars. My wife prefers the Beemer while I like the GS300. I was hoping to make use of this portal to determine the [b]People's Choice.
The prices for these 2 cars are about the same. I know a lot of pple raved about a Beemer's drive but in terms of standard equipment & comfort, the 523i is not quite up there with the GS300. If you were in our shoes, which would you choose? Do give us yr thoughts. Thank you in advance for your kind contribution.[/b]
Thanks for the contribution, SEI. You know how people are raving over a Beemer's drive... but that's not I want in a car. I wanna feel pampered inside a car when I drive/caught in a jam. Think that's more important than anything else.Originally posted by SEI:heres something to consider, the bmw's steering is electronic as in the turning is controlled electronicly through a computer so there is no feel to it... i havnt drove the lexus but i think driving wise it would be better...

I was also contemplating getting the GS300 as an additional car for myself.Originally posted by Seaplane:Hi kentheman,
Well, it's between the BMW and the Lexus now. I think the maintenance/upkeeping cost of a car is quite important as well. I think Lexus would have the edge here.
Hi Sir_Peanuts,Originally posted by sir_peanuts:Everyone I know who owns a BMW doesn't have anything good to say about it. Its frequent repairs, expensive repair bills and how the service standard drops like a rock once your warranty is up.
Lexus has been known for its reliability and workmanship.
To prove my point, have your ever seen a broken down Lexus?![]()
Hi CoolBlue,Originally posted by coolblue6699:I used to be a Bimmer fan. I drove 3 BMWs before (E36 320, E46 320 and last E39 520). I am in the same situation as you when I changed to Volvo S60 T5 3 months ago, main reason is when I test the E60 523 I think it cant even match my E39 520 in term of feel and handling.
My T5 thought not so good in handling compare to the BMW but in view that I dont really push the car to the limit to feel the difference and at the same time it is cheaper and more powerful than the 523, I got the T5.
I will choose GS300 if I got to choose between the 2, for reliability, quietness and power.
I have a few friends from BMW club also change camp, E60 and E90 not very attractive; unless your pocket deep enough for 525 or 325 and above.

Hi NormalBoi,Originally posted by nOrmalbOi:GS300 for me
I dun wan my car to be spending more time in the workshop than me actually driving it
alternatively.. get the IS250... space will prolly be smaller.. but it would prolly be a good car to drive that is actually pretty reliable too?
Because deluxe was besotowed upon me. Sorry abt that. Thanks for posting the alternative link. Very spirited arguments there.Originally posted by Tayysj:link cant be accessed (by me at least)

Hi Freaky13,Originally posted by storm_freaky13:beemer is for the name. But in terms of design, orginally when the new 5 series came out... it looked really good to me with those fierce eyebrow like headlamps. but then again it has been for a few years already... the design to me is getting boring and it is EVERYWHERE.
lexus on the otherhand, looks really really sleek and expecially with the pearlescent white paint.. or silver... For comfort i sat in a 520i before... its really comfortable but i dont know about driving it. GS300 with lexus's famed low NVH score would really be a winner i guess.
on the technical side... i think spare parts would be alot cheaper for the lexus than the BMW.
