It has been the most reliable care i have owned in the past 12-13yrs
But i am thinking it might be time to move on.. Lately i have been looking at some 00+ BMW 32x;s and 540i's
It is not set it stone but i have been looking. But i want something that can get out of its own way,

Well I found a few BMWs i like but i think i am gonna stick with the Lexus a little bit longer. Guess it is time for the Alt Upgrade now. My system is pulling the car down. Wipers barely work if i run everything.

From personal experience the 540's are fast as hell but there's it's hell in terms of reliability, especially in it's later years (past warranty).
If the wipers aren't working properly if you have a lot of things running could it be the alternator? I don't have any issues running everything on my '99.

^I've had my es300 for 3 years to, i still have it, but i also bought another car. I looked at bmws but ended up with a sport design gs300. Ill be honest, i love the gs more then any bmw or mercedes i looked at. The 3's were to small, the 540s were nice, but all had problems, and mercedes were nice to, but those were also plagued with problems and rust to because of the paint form what i was told. I looked at cars from 2003-2008
