Make no mistake, it is a better driver's car than a Lexus in nearly every way. I won't be buying another one anytime soon though

Thats right, everyone knows that the BMW *when its running* is one of the best cars around. Thou you never see your local mechanic buying a BMW for his wife do you, they buy their wives camrys or someother toyota product, ever wonder about that?

Nope, it's because they don't want to bring work home with them. They turn enough wrenches at the 'office' and just want something that will just go go go with a minimal amount of monkeying.

i have both.

my wife drives the xi. i the ISawd. She loves the lex. the drive on the bmw is a lot tighter. the steering is a bit harder but accelaration is great. the gagets on the IS are off the hook. the beamer is way too plain. lets just say... im happy with my choice.
