what made you switch from the white to the NG. i know why you switched cars. it's the colors i'm referring to.

Living in Michigan with the winter and all that made it hard to keep the white color clean. I enjoyed the gray on my older 2006 GS so I went for a sporting color this time around and its easier to keep clean.

Looks like everyone upgraded quite nicely so far!

My GS was my first step into the luxury arena. I loved my Maxima and it served me well. Time to move up however.

I hold on to my cars for a long time but once I saw and drove the GS I knew it was time.

I moved up from a 1999 beige Infiniti I30.

Don't see too many F Sports in black. It's beautiful in that color, and very menacing looking.

Hey what made you say best decision you ever made? I ask because I too had a Beemer and had MASSIVE buyers remorse after getting the GS350F. It has passed now that I have broken it in and modified it a bit, as seen in the pics below, however, there are some things the Lexus just can't touch!

Just wanted to swap some spit with another former BMW owner!

very nice color choice for the wheels, and the NG. she looks good. seems as though they were color matched.

The new rims are great. The funny thing is, they actually make your GS look more like a previous gen 5Series. Hopefully that is getting you past your buyer's remorse.

Hey Your right. I feel better already!

Its normal to have buyer's remorse after a new car. I really liked your older 5 as compared to the numb and isolating newer 5 series. The new GS has a better ride and handling combo then the new 5. The new 5 steering isn't very direct like the older 5 or the new GS. The runflats on the 5 drove me nuts and I had to switch them out to decent regular Michelin tires but the car felt funny and didn't feel tight like my 2008 BMW 3 coupe I still have. The ride of the GS is more sportier yet more smoother then the 5 which was confused as to what it was set out to do for the driver. I love my GS350 F Sport and put some very nice Michelin Primacy MXM4 tires on my 19 inch F-Sport rims. I did have 3 defective Michelins which caused body vibration and steering wheel vibrations like you! I had them replaced and re-roadforced balanced to get them below 15 lbs with good success. Just 1 more tire that will be replaced tomorrow but so far its minor and the car is riding and driving very well. I have had defective tires more than few times before even with Michelins so its always good to have rims and tires road forced to the lowest digits. Overrall, I am very happy so far. You will grow to love this car over time.

I cant wait to get out of my 535i, that thing has been nothing but problems since day one so I'll be so happy when I'm finally in a 4GS.

Thanks Rexus. I never test drove the new models because I just thought they were ugly. I too liked the older style. The only thing I miss so far is the Torque. The HP on both cars is similar, but the Beemer has an equal 300 Foot Pounds of torque, where the GS only has 278 I think.
This makes a big difference to me anyway! Other than that I agree with you that this GS handles exceptionally well, especially with that DRS rear steering feature. It makes you take every on and off ramp at 65 just to feel that whip kick in!
