335i IMO. I've beaten this subject to death though, so I'll mostly just show pictures. For me, the 335i is a much more fun car to drive.
Couple of important questions - Does rear legroom matter much? Do you absolutely need a fold down rear seat? If so, the BMW is the right choice for you. The BMW turbo motor is also much more responsive to mods. The other factors are mostly subjective.
Kudos to you!
Most pictures I've seen of a BMW were in the shop environment. You've managed to get a few photos of one outside the shop.
It must be groundhog day!

hasn't this topic been beaten to death w/ countless threads/replies??? really useless
no debate about it, ISx50 hands down..lexus wins in every categoy..no questions!
if u want an overpriced, 70ish interior, ugly and long looking exterior styling, unreliable, overpriced maintenace, same car as your neighbor and in every block, then get the bmw.

I hear about "better nav" all the time. I have experience with both of them and I actually prefer the BMW Nav. I will take I-Drive without a crippled NAV anyday. Plus the BMW has Real Time Traffic.

That being said, I would have, and will buy in the future, a MB or BMW in a heartbeat if there is no nav hack available on a Lexus... I will miss the touchscreen, but hopefully by then the germans will have finally adopted that bit of technology...
Real time traffic is useless in the Washington DC area... Maybe it's better in other parts of the USA...
Idrive is terrible... Touchscreen is infinitely better...

My fiance doesn't mind my I-Drive at all. She is quite familar with the IS nav, since she has an IS250. I think the latest program updates made the I-Drive much faster to use.
You're right about DVD movies though, we need an aftermarket unit for that to work. Not a big deal IMO, but to each his own. I just wish the 07 Nav hack was as easy as the 06. BTW, I need a fold down rear seat since our other car is a Lexus..
