There are several things that you will find lacking compared to the BMW, but the positives of a Lexus outweigh the negatives.

Same with me. I'm OCD for squeaks and rattles.
My past 2IS developed squeaks around the center console the day I left the lot but the 3IS has been the tightest built car I've owned and I'm at 6000 km so far. I had a small ticking around the B-pillar and grab handle which I fixed and posted a DIY. Rock solid now.
Of course, as with any car no matter how expensive, leave it outside at sub-zero temps these days (-15 C in GTA) and freezing has created only the occasional minor squeak because of moisture icing up in tiny amounts behind all contact points. I noticed it around the speaker covers on the dash. Still, it is very minor which I can live with, and goes away once the car warms up.
Enjoy your 3IS and welcome to the world of reliability AND fun.
