^ good points.

I have the gs and love it. Its sportier , and in the long run I love the look of the ls430. but I dunno if I would need that as a daily. Its more than I would need but Amazing !

I love the 5 series, and gs sizes. but eventually I am 26 , I will more on to a different size . big or small not sure but the Gs fits me perfectly. and I am 5'8 for anyone 6'1 the rear seats they will hit their heads. but remember is this car for you or for them ?

Ask for yourself this, are you considering a S-class or 7 series? If no, then chances are the LS will disappoint over time b/c you not looking for luxury 1st with a big cabin over sportiness.
Iam 23.. I was looking into the S class cuz you can get them for cheap, i was looking into the S600 but it was too big for me... I love the 7 series, Im ooking into those as well GS 430 LS430 BMW 540i and 02-09 745i, and the reason why i was looking into the 7's is because of speed and handling, plus they look so hard with 22's deep dish fat lips!!!!

Depends on your driving style. If you want something sporty/spirited driving with luxury features, GS is the way to go. If you want something more luxury normal driving then LS is the way to go. I would stay within the Japanese family just because of maintenance costs, unless your buying a german car under warranty. If you do look at the bimmers stay away from the 745 and get the 750 (research and you will see why). With the 5-series, make sure to get a later gen as the earlier ones had lots of software issues. Good luck.
