There is a guy in my town roll around in a white 760Li M-Sport, slightly lowered on those 312 21s, stunning. Make me stare everytime.
That's what I said, Lexus's recent drivetrain is behind in a huge way. Even Hyundai's passed them with their DI 5.0L V8 with 429 hp. Lexus always have nice interior, the one in the 4GS is awesome. But exterior styling to no match to the Euros and the drivetrain is, well........6 years old.

With the crazy brake dust ( I have to wipe the dust off the side of my car every 2 days ), I doubt I would go with multi spoke wheels, B%$%^ to clean! I need to slow down now, first bought paid for a house in Feb, now new car in April, took a big chuck off my wallet.
I am jealous about Hyundai now, why the hell they have V8 429HP with 8 speed, even for the Genesis R, but Lexus just won't do it. Hell, drop the LS motor and tranny in the GS just like before (2gs and 3gs shared engine with LS ) and you would see me rolling in it instead of the 7 already, even though I don't really feel the rear on the 4GS. Hopefully they have something secretly developing.

Dinan is looking for a loaner 2009 750Li and turn it into a Dinan 7! Sucks I don't live in Sunny Cali!
http://www.dinancars.com/specials/De...rs-Needed.aspx
Dinan does not extend coverage for cars outside of factory warranty, crap! It only give 2 year limited warranty from the date of installation.
So if I get it now, it will only cover 2 years. Hmm...
Will Dinan parts be covered under my extended/CPO warranty through BMW?
The Dinan warranty matches the new car 4 year / 50,000 mi warranty and does not cover any extended or CPO warranties. Read the full warranty here: http://www.dinancars.com/warranty.aspx
Also, found this video, 760Li VS S63, granted mine is a 750, but this video is fun!

Lexus need to stick the ISF drivetrain into the 4GS and just call it GS500, but then is still only keeping up with the competition because everyone already got a 400hp+ mid size sedan.......E550, 550i, XF, Genesis 5.0R.......etc.

Congrats, buy Akebono brake pads asap and all your brake dust issues will disappear.....This is what we've been using for years in the BMW community. I have BBS LM's on my car and can go months without my wheels looking dirty, plus they never get black no matter how long they haven't been washed.
