Hi, thinking about changing my wife's car and have been looking at the Lexus GS300 seems a lot of car for the money compared to the BMW... any views welcomed`````````.

Never liked the interiors of Lexus (although I want to say Lexi for the plural of Lexus?), buttons always looked cheap. Which year were you thinking of? What is your budget?

But on the plus side the windscreen wipers would work the correct way on the Lexus compared to the BMW E60 (a minor bug bear I hate with that generation of 5 series).

I'd say it depends on your 'driving' point of view.

if you want to have some fun - BMW
if you want to arrive relaxed and unflustered - lexus

Always find BMW interiors dark unwelcoming places

Hi, was thinking 55 plate so road tax is cheaper with a budget of about £7,500, seen a few with around 60,000 miles on the clock for that price range.
