welcome to the club, you won't need to stop by the dealer that often anymore but you will be visiting the gas pump more frequently haha

1. true
2. ugh, depends which BMW was it. Can't say it is that much accurate if it is a 7th series etc

Welcome to the club! Lexus is a bit of an arrogant company, but the product is a lot nicer than the BMW.

Thanks for the welcome
This is my first Lexus but had Toyota Sequioa twice.
I traded my 2011 BMW 535 msports; yes , had some mechanical problems and had been in the shop several times but covered under warranty.
Regarding gas consumption, the Lexus LX570 is more fuel efficient 😜 than my 2014 Ford Raptor (12.3 mpg vs 11 mpg)😁
There are several control gizmos in the LX that I still need to be familiar with and hope this forum will be of help.

I really like that color actually, especially under the sun, I will get it if I'm not so picky on cleaning the car, white car need least maintenance, still remember have to almost wash my blue IS every week back then

Great colour. Not as bland and boring as black, yet classy and dignified for a car of this stature. Also, I don't see any toyota's in this colour. Keeping it clean and swirl-free would be a challenge though, as expected

Absolutely beautiful and very stylish! It was about time that Lexus offered a decent shade of blue on the LX. I've always had my share of dark blue vehicles; it's actually my favorite choice whenever possible.

Congratulations and welcome!

And yes, the wallet key is awesome. I am surprised they didn't tell you about it during delivery. Actually, never mind, I'm not

I have one for each car - they live at opposite ends of my wallet, and I can go without having to even think about keys.

Enjoy! It truly is a thing of beauty (and indeed a gas-sipper vs. the Raptor, which I'm a huge fan of too, BTW...).
