Honestly no disappointment with the 7, for such a big car it handles really well out of the box, and with the KW's I throw it around just like any other car, the biggest difference is even with the super slam and 30/25 series tires it still rides very well.

I think the best way to describe the Lexus vs the BMW is just to say different, the place where people get all tied up is trying to say better or worse I dont think its either, just different.

haha ... i wasn't trying to say you were disappointed, it was sarcastic in a really lame joke kinda way. like, u poor baby u have to drive the 7 instead of the GS kinda way

i personally love the 7. my cousin just got the 750i and its a beautiful car. amazing interior, and fast as hell. i wouldn't be surprised at all if the 7, even with the bigger body, handled better than our GS's stock for stock.

congrats on both cars D. maybe you should post pics of your 7 as well, just to show us the "disappointment" you have to go back to everyday lol aahaha

You're right, Derrick....for a big car, the big Lex does well for itself once lowered.

I've never been in a new 7. But I'm not surprised to hear that it handles well...because that BMW handling DNA is something special. Enjoy, man!

Next Lexus for me would be a LS430, down the line as a family car (ie, baby seat, no mods, etc etc). Those things are just so comfortable.
