    Personally, I'm not a fan of the new body style. However, with BMW's warranty now, if you plan on holding on to it for 4 years, you really can't go wrong. After the 4th year, it'll get VERY expensive to maintain and fix.

    Price on the Run Flat tires is rediculous... When I bought the new Toyota Sienna... It had run-flat tires... Well I needed some new tires and they were going to cost me 700 - 800 dollars OUCH :mad: so of course I didnt' get the run flat tires and went with some decent Goodyear aquatreads.

    Good Choice.

    That car will last you for a long time. Lexus is #1 in reliability.

    I had an 2003 M3. All maintenance on it was free as long as it was under warranty, even oil changes. They also washed it and steam cleaned the carpets every time I brought it in. Maintenance didn't cost me anything. Tires did, however. I'd recommend a bmw to anyone as long as they are under warranty.

    I'm sorry to tell you the truth, but a Lexus won' get any turn head.

    I heard you test drive the Audi, and love it, but because of liabilities, and price, you turn it down, right? Well, you just pass the one that will really get you the turn head.

    Beside money, maintenance, dealer, reliabitlity, and dealership, AUDI ROCKS.

    LMAO! That's cold dude :D

    Seriously though, a Lexus doesn't turn heads if that's what you're buying it for, Jackfruit. However, they're reliable and good, solid vehicles.

    As for the BMW 330i, it's an amazing vehicle...

    I love the 3-Series. Was really close to buying another.

    I have bluetooth and it's handy (and much safer) but the novelty side of the tech toys wears off pretty quick. Make sure you like the car's drive too...which is easy w/ the BMW.

    You guys are right that a Lexus probably won't turn many heads. But hey..I just assumed almost $30,000 of brand new debt. I need to tell myself that my car will turn heads. Play along :)

    That's coming from a bunch of guys driving 1988 Mazda B2000 pick-ups (with camper shells) :p :D


    You'll do just fine w/ a Lexus.
