GS 350 vs. E39 540i???

2GR makes you work for the power, it builds, it’s what I love about N/A engines with power at the top, they’re quiet and modest unless you work for it. For a sports sedan you want to drive hard and hear, top end is just so much better. Low end torque is good for stoplight to stoplight, lol.

That's what I said in In July 2020. It's still true. I hate to think what I would have spent and suffered to keep the E38 going once I retired it in favor of the GS350 4 years ago. Probably around $12K(not including tires) compared to $2K with Lexus. No wonder I don't see any E38's or E39's on the road anymore, as sweet as they were.

I have had over 30 bmws. From 2002 to m3. All i can say is they are fun till they break. Do your research. When the vanos system gets noisy grab your checkbook and bend over. This is a well known problem. Not if but when. My grandson who is 21 has sucessfulky fixed the vanos on his car. Spacial tools required and $$. The only bmw I really liked was the 2002. Been buying toyota and lexus because of reliability.
