Isn't it what BMW doing, replacing N/A I6 with turbo I4, also it seems like BMW thinking of replace V8 with tri-turbo I6 or something like that at some point in the future.

Also in terms of exterior styling, the M56 is one of the best looking sedans on sale imo next to the Quattroporte and Aston Rapide

This comparo is moronic without 2 actual cars being driven back to back. Until the Lexus hits the streets it is irrelevant.

As a previous lover of my Lexus GS I can honestly say I am happy I didn't wait around for the new styling blahs that Lexus has served up. Lexus as a breed of car has really taken a turn for the worse. Comfy and quiet was their biggest plus but the looks are a huge turnoff. I think my 535iX M-Sport has some of the finest automotive detail and coolest halo running lights on the road. PLEASE stop encouraging car brands to put airplane emergency lighting strips as daytime running lights. Tacky beyond belief! BMW wins hands down in this comparison no matter what any numbers say.
