Awesome, love that X5m you used to have. How does it feel going from the BMW to this car? I didn't have anything as nice as the X5 but was considering staying with a 550i or something but honestly I felt like the GS was the better car. I'm happy with the power too, obviously its not as much as a turbo BMW that can be tuned but it will be much more reliable.

Honestly I love the color of the Lexus - but the BMW was a 6 figure car so I can't really compare.

The Lexus IS a nice car, and I couldn't go to a 3 or 5 series after being in a M car - unless it was a M3 or M5. Which isn't practical for me right now.

Yeah I definately feel you there, I had a dinan e46 m3 myself that I really miss but the maintenance wasn't fun keeping it in its tip top shape.

Thank you all. If there is a Vendor that can guide me to some tasteful cosmetic mods I'd appreciate it. Looking for a lip and roof spoiler. Already have wheels and coilovers on the way...

The headlights are amazing. And much, much, much easier to keep clean.
