I had couple of Lexus before with recent being a 2006 GS300 awd. I have a 3 series coupe right now. The 5 is very soft riding and has a numb steering feel that doesnt inspire any excitement. The turbo lag is horrendous and the lack of engine noise and isolation makes it soulless. The ride can get choppy and spongy on the uneven highways even without the runflats and the car is not planted like other BMWs. The Lexus is far superior in handling, ride, and excitement.

i know ppl at my lexus and they handed me a car with 30miles on the car, and i thought that was a bit much.

Got my car at 9 miles on it. I got to break it in my own way.

Got mine with 14 miles... service adviser suggested driving under 3000 rpm for first 1k miles *if possible* (he said that almost nobody followed this suggestion! lol!). Didn't realize that newer cars had break in periods..

Maybe you can have your service adviser point it our in the manual?

Cool! thanks! I didn't notice that till you pointed it out.
I will continue to resist the urge to stomp on the accelerator...120 miles on Odo, I'll survive
