It is aaaaall about image. You - "bad boy wanna be" - join the croud of BMW owners. Classy, calm, "I better then you" - did I said it outloud? 
- get a Lexus 
I would never swap by GS for 5xx.

haha, it's not entirely about image, with BMW, you actually get a driver's car, it's FUN to drive, fun to take corner at 60+mph. They offer European delivery program, bmw magazine, M performance driving school
but what do you get from MB? besides the so called "prestige"? i can't think of any... (does not include AMG line)

If you are not keeping the car beyond the warranty period. Get the German Car. If not get the Junkxus car. I like the looks of the GS more than the E, or the 5, however the German cars drive much better.

really surprised you said that, bmw is light years ahead of lexus in terms of handling. My X5 handles better than my GS
people with lexus already complain about harsh rides, imagine when lexus tune their suspension to be in par with the germans, o.. the endless complaints
we don't buy lexus for handling just like we don't buy bmw for comfort, eash has its own strength and doing just fine in its own segment of the market.

Man they get pissed when they see the my custom plates. I8ABMR. I had it on my old G35 and it got me into many a race with bimmers and I come to have little respect for the 330 compared to the G35. I used to wave from the sunroof as I pulled away at high speed. The 335 is a totally different animal.Its a damn torque monster. When I drove that I would agree it does perform better than the stock g35 but for 7-8k over on the price tag. I like the way the bimmers feel but not at the price and size they offer the cars in for the price range.

I don't know about 5 series, but my previous was 645... I just got GS450h 3 months ago, and have to say I'm disappointed... a lot worse handling, squicky dashboard (in low temp), fake wood interior... seems to be taken from chrysler... This is my first lexus, and I'm not impressed...
but just doesn't require as often
