Does the Lexus beep sounds like a BMW?
I recently got a 2026 UX rental from my dealer and I must say the start up chime very much sounds like a BMW.
I personally don't like it. I was like ugh. Come on Toyota, have your own identity.
I know Toyota pretty much asked BMW to make the Supra for them, but now the bongs too? Did they have a billion of the buzzers lying around and didn't want to waste them?

I haven't been in a recent Lexus recently, but I don't remember them having really interesting bings and bongs, like the germans. They usually use the same noise as Toyotas, while BMW commissions Hans Zimmer to do theirs.
