My advice : test drive the new F30 3 series and then the new GS350 and decide for yourself which one you personally like better. It seem like you have narrowed it down to these two choices.

Make sure to test drive the GS350 with adaptive variable suspension and to drive it in sport + mode or else you'll be fooled into thinking the GS is too soft. Sport + mode transforms the entire driving experience of the car.

You'll be shocked at how a car can marry both luxurious ride with sporty drive so seamlessly.

+1 on switching to Sport+. Also take a few corners with S+ on and off. The steering is noticeably different too (not just the suspension) and drastically improves the performance. I wish I could have S+ on all the time.

Although this dealership is not in Delaware, its close by in Pennsylvania. They don't have any price listed and I wanted to know if demo cars are a good buy or not only after knwoing what kind of deal they are offering.

We already have a F30 3 series that we got this summer, but I want a car for me. Don;t want another BMW so looking at lexus.

If you can, try to get a hands-on experience with RWD GS350 F-Sport with the optional rear steering ( DRS) and variable gear ratio steering ( VGRS).

Drive that car in Sport + mode and you'll be pleasantly surprised at how it feels as tossable as the smaller F30 around a corner. Literally feels like a much smaller vehicle in terms of handling.
