I'm on your side, but the lexus insides feel more plush. I like the BMW interior because of its singular purpose... to be a cockpit. Lexus, like Mercedes design their interiors to be an escape
i dont like shapeless interior, prefer the subtle lines that BMW used to highlight its interior

thank god my car is a lease...
hmm. well good luck with your next purchase. if you hate your car that much then just do a little more research next time.

Hmmm..notice how I DIDN'T mention anything about the looks of the interior. The materials and the fit and finish is far superior to that of BMW.

Take this from a guy who's owned two Lexuses. When you sit in a Lexus, it makes you go "Wow, this is comfortable.." then compare it to a BMW and you will think the BMW has an interior made for Spartans.

Wow dude, like Scotty called you out on, you put a standard NON-Nav IS350 vs a decked out BMW 335i.

Have you actually sit inside of an IS350? It hands down has the more plush and high end interior over the 3 Series, and I actually have the full leather, and NAV in my E92.

What do you expect from someone named "Bimmer Loyalist" who compares a standard non-nav car vs a decked out 335i w/Nav? Guy is obviously biased.

Yeah, my friend has one. I don't like it. The leather is great, but that's about it for me. I don't like anything else about it.

Dude, I don't know the difference between a decked out IS interior and a base one, so chill. And like I said, my friend has one and I couldn't care less about the interior.

Okay, this shit really fuckin pisses me off. I hate having to explain my stupid ass name to every noob that comes to the general auto section. It's a name with no meaning man. Go search my post history if you have to. I'm not biased towards/against anything. Only automotive company I actually have any bias against is Toyota.

How so. They make cars that I don't like. I don't like their designs. I don't like the way they drive. I don't like the image of the Prius. I don't like anything about them. What's wrong with that.

And just so you know, we did have a Landcruiser at one point. We didn't like it.

And again, I invite you to look at my post history. You seem so sure that I'm biased against everything.

+1

The only thing Lexus has going for them is the IS-F. All the other models are just boring.

who said I hate my car? If we are talking about luxury and reliable than the is350 will win hands down. If you actually sat in the is350 with ML you would know. The stock navi and sound system top the idrive.

sigh..bmw fan boys.. like someone said.. his name speaks for himself..

Yeah, it's just tiresome sometimes to meet fanboys who have too many personal biases except for the brand they own. The scary part is they don't even know they're fanboys.

ok, i'm just gonna explain that i'm not a fanboy. i've stood up for multiple other marques in comparos with bmws. i'd rather have an s4 or an s5. i'd rather have a c63 than an m3. i'll take whatever is reasonable and logically better than any bmw counterpart. i don't know how to get this through your head, but it's actually getting annoying.

could anyone, hks, jh, mtv, obi, etc etc, ANYONE just back me up on this. seriously.
