PS - for those of you who said you would have bought a BMW if it was more reliable, now is your chance....you can even custom order the EXACT car you want and have it in about 6 weeks.

My GS never had a rattle but c'mon GS has a way nicer interior then BMW!!!

I bought a GS350 over a 335i because the Navigation voice was a male and who wants to hear a male tell me what to do, I don't want to get man handled by my car, so I got a Lexus GS350, bought Tein SS coilovers and Rt-615 Falcon Tires to make up for the BMW handling, lol, but really a mans voice, no wonder its a chick car!!!

but

M5 might be the next car after the GS!!!

BMW's interior material is on par with Lexus, but their interior styling is really plain jane. It doesnt matter if consumer report recommands BMW or not, lets face it, CR is not as good as they use to be. I still say you will spend more time at the shop with a BMW than a Lexus, but thats not to say BMW is a unreliable car. In fact its consider reliable as far as German is concerned.

With all due respect, my dealer AGAIN responded I can't get a 3 Coupe WITHOUT run-flats and no spare. Curses, my hopes were dashed again!

hell yeah. I'd like a nav voice that is female, sexy, and breathy, with a orgasmic moan at the end.

"in 500 feet, turn right. *m0an* oh yeah, right there baby. don't stop. turn right there baby. oooohhhh. mmmmmm"

the 5-series has a female voice for the nav - she's not too sexy mind you, but if that's what makes your decision on the car, then you are set

1) have them buy back the run-flats and put on summer tires and pay the difference

2) do it yourself.

how hard is that if you really want the car?!

I would also need a spare - no room in the trunk to store it (I need the space for luggage, etc. when I'm traveling)!
