^^ agreed, how do you feel driving each and which one is more fun.. which one is smoother and quieter, and which one has the better inside?? (i'd think lexus since you have the whole nav package.. i dont see much on the BMW interior in terms of electric gadgets, i think)

Ill Do a quick Mini Right here until i have time to do a full write up and give you guys a full comparison.

Performance wise the BMW pulls hard but the Lexus is just as fast but its just something about that boost that gets into your blood mind you I have yet to do WOT on the Lexus only 28 miles sorry!.

Ride and comfort its all LEXUS all the way. My Girlfriend told me before I got the Lexus that she wont drive it and she only wants the BMW but after yesterday shes all over the Lexus.

Nav goes to Lexus also. I drive is so stupid, but I will have to say at least they let you do dest input and switch folders, day 1 and I am annoyed with the Nav.

Ohh and now I see the BMW is truly a TANK not a coupe its so dry and cut!

Welcome and nice cars! But pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee dont do the NAV hack. Youre going to regret it once your system goes out. They sell a module thats about $300 and its PNP so you dont have to worry about voiding your warranty like many others. But its your car, Im just giving you my opinion.

Hey Thanks for the heads up, ya I was thinking if I add Sirius then i would do the nav hack at the same time, if not 300 bucks aint that bad to do it PNP. After all were all big boys and if we can afford the cars we can afford the toys that go with it!
