Good Bye Fellas
Its been fun checking out the forums and cars on here. I've actually been looking at the 4GS forums as I love that car much more than the 2nd gen. I still deeply love Lexus, and will be back with a brand new LS460l when time is due. I sold my 2000 GS300 with 158k on the od for $5500 and bought a 2006 750li with 58k on the OD with a bumper to bumper warranty. Car is soooo nice and I'm digging it. I'll only keep it for about a year then trade up again. Its been fun, but off to the Dark Side!
Congrats on the Bimmer I keep a lexus and BMW as well. Never driven a 7 series but I'm sure it handles like it's on rails like all other BMWs I've owned/driven. 1 year is enough time to miss your Lexus!
Actually driving a 7 series is like driving a very comfortable couch. It's pretty much an office on wheels.

Yes, that I have researched to the end lol. I came to find out that its the 745 was the major culprit for the issues, a lot cured with the E66 facelift, but still not perfect. But for a chance to preview driving a $100k lux saloon thats practically brand new? I'm on it. It sat in the owner of the Adessa auctions garage as a personal vehicle after lease return from BMW. It handles, rides, accelerates, stops, performs like a dream. Now I get the "BMW" fanboys point of view. But I say this, I have never seen sooooo many heads turning {even chicks walking with their man} and necks breaking like this when I was rolling my GS. But, a BRAND NEW custom ordered LS460l will be what makes me return. "L's up

Sorry, I thought you said 760..750 is just as nice, but not the monster I was talking about lol.
Did your dad have all of the electrial issues that's typically stated online?

Congrats on the purchase. I've owned a modded 745i and a 750li. Every poor review about the 745 is correct. Mine was in the shop constantly and I thank God I was under factory warranty. The '06+ are much better cars than the '02-'05. Personally speaking, after getting into a Lexus, I can't say I'd ever go back to a BMW.
