Default Goodbye. Sold my 2006 Lexus GS300 and got a 2011 BMW 535i

After being on clublexus for almost 12 years with different lexus over the years and leading up to my recent 2006 Lexus GS300 awd in which I had for 4 1/2 years I am now leaving the Lexus family. I purchased an amazing 2011 BMW 535i xdrive and the latest cash back and finance rates got me below invoice for this car. I am blown away by this car with the styling and handling. i miss my old Lexus GS a bit. The Lexus has been so reliable, comfortable, and the styling is still looking fantastic up to now. Good luck to all of you and maybe in the future I will be back or lurk around to answer common questions regarding the GS.

Pictures of the new car? I love the interior of the 5-series!

Seen the car quite a few times on the road and it's just easier on the eyes than the E60 5-series

The car is alpine white with cinnamon brown interior and its simply stunning and much more sharper looking than the older E60 5 series. I will post 1-2 pics tmw for comparison.

I think your driveway probably has the same amount of square feet as my condo.
