If you really want to scratch your head, the rear armrest is real leather...the front armrest is not. The rear armrest is one of the nicest ones I've seen in any car, I actually leave it down.

Front armrest takes a lot of abuse - so it would wear much faster than other leather in the car. So this is attention to detail, but a different sort. I prefer single stitching for the less busy lines it creates. But I agree the inconsistency is not a good thing.

I don't buy that. I've had LOTS of cars with real leather center armrests, including Lexus vehicles, including cheaper Lexus vehicles, and the leather has stood up fine. Its a cost cutting measure, not a question of durability. As for single stitching vs double stitching, double stitching is a sign of quality.
Theres a reason why the LS has leather armrests, leather door panels, and a real leather dash and the GS has imitation leather in these places, and its not because GS owners have pointier elbows
We were talking about the BMW 5, it has a real leather center armrest and real leather door trim on any leather interior. Just saying. Overall I agree, the GS has a better interior but some details still stand out in the BMW.
I sat in a friend's new X5 a while back, an M Sport. It was niiiiice. I've never seen inside a 5 series in person. I really like the GS' interior, but I think the center stack looks off/dated/boring/blocky.
I agree 100%. It is improving at BMW though. I have a friend with a new X5 with the base interior and its very nice, in the brown color above. The 5 Series is nicer than it was before the refresh, but its still the old style interior vs the new style interior on the X5.
You can go on more than a vacation with the money saved with the GS over a 535 lol.
Lol that depends on where on vacation you are going or how much your willing to spend on vacation. Ive spent about $15,000 on my last vacation and i have spent more than that.
Having had a BMW 535iX series M Sport I can attest to the fact BMWs suck at reliability. While the car was a joy most days to drive it was far too unreliable and quirky on the infotainment system for my liking. BMW may be driver's cars but Lexus are cars for the driver ( and lately everyone else seated throughout for comfort). IMHO

I hope to reach that kind of success when I get older
