I have a few questions regarding the new GS.

Does the F sport have a much stiffer ride ? or is it hardly noticeable when comparing it to the normal gs350 ?

Are the seats more comfortable in the F sport or are they stiffer ?

Is it worth getting the F sport or is the driving experience only slightly different ?

Thank you

You won't notice the ride difference. Even in sport mode it is not bone jarring at all.

Don't know about the seats difference.

The F sport was worth it to me for the wheels, pedals, brakes, front bumper & the Cabernet red interior.

Yes wheels alone costs $2k and lip spoiler is another $900. So I think it's a great deal given all the other additional stuffs you get.

With regard to ride even in Sport+ mode, I think it's buttery smooth compare to my BMW 335i Sport yet it handles just as well in most situation. Even my gf thinks this car is smooth, and she can't tell the difference between normal vs sport+ mode. I can barely tell. Overall I LOVE this car!

GS F Sport beat the Infinit M37, A6, 535 all in their respective sport trims if it helps any

the 18 way powerseats are awesome. The side bolsters are the best

Test drove them both. The above statement minus the Cabernet interior (I opted for black) was what sold me on the F-Sport.

Fsport has 10 way seats. Just to clarify.

Note the thread title F-Sport vs Luxury.

I never said the Fsport did

Nor did you say it didn't.

Which is why I said "just to clarify".

16 way seats

You're right 16 way driver, 10 way passenger.

As opposed to both being 18.

Personally, I prefer the Luxury ones. Better seats, and a nicer interior IMO. I do not like the striated aluminum. Wood looks much better. Preferably, the gray interior cars.

Thank you ! This will be a huge leap forward in terms of driving compared to my current vehicle, i'll be sure to give it a test drive as soon as possible.

I spent about a month test driving BMW 3's, 5's and the GS F Sport and Luxury.
I didn't notice a difference in the ride of the F Sport and Luxury in Sport+ mode. I agree, you need to drive it yourself.

To me it came down to the tradeoff of the F Sport cosmetic differences (grill/ aluminum trim/wheels and pedals) versus the fog lights, 18-way driver/passenger seating and the rear passenger heated seats/climate and audio control.

Just do what i did and get luxury with f sport bumper. 18 way heated seats and espresso wood trim looks so goooood.
