Default GS400 vs. 540i

Hey guy's early this year i was stuck between the bmw 540i and a gs400 and eventually chose the lexus due to reliability. But which car do you guys think is better as far as performance and handling, stats to stats. BTW lexus rules but the 540i is still a badass car from what people are saying.

BMW's are sweet....at sucking your wallet dry. I had a 2000 M5 before my GS. The M5 was faster, but the interior quality sucked ***....the pixels for the dash were going out. The dash was separating, and the nav unit died....all within 50,000. Not acceptable for a 80k car. Then I went to BMW to get all of the fluids changed....1800.00 is what was quoted to me. After that I sold it and bought my GS.

But....if I were to do it all over again, I would have skipped both and bought an E 55. Very durable, bulletproof drivetrain and extremely nice and incredibly fast.
