Here is my opinion on Lexus GS F sport, BMW 528xi/535xi/MB E350 4matic
Looking to replace my Infiniti G37x sedan, used to own a e60 5 series non-sport
1) Lexus GS-F sport, Handles very well , nice engine sound BUT looks like a typical japanese sedan with no wow factor to exterior look. The drivers seat is a little too high 2) MB E350 4matic in black and sport looks very very sharp. The handling is very good but the 7 speed upshifts are blah 3) I felt the 5 series was much better in terms of looks , interior options, m sport is very nice and has more options over Lexus and MB to suit a drivers needs. The 8 speed is really fast to change gears alost like DCT DCT is still beyond Porche 991 911 pDK shift speeds I really enjoyed the 2012 528 XI sport over 535xi sport . The upshifts feel better/firmer with the 4 cylinder ver the 535 for some reason / Lexus too has good upshift feel The 528xi is lighter at the nose over 535 and you can fee that, it feels more agile and balanced around corners. The 260 torque is available at low rpm so it does feel fast enough for street for me, 528xi M sport in nappa is the ticket |

I switched from a 2008 Infiniti G35x Sedan and 2011 Infiniti FX Sport. Let's put it this way, there will ALWAYS be a BMW in my garage moving forward.
I drive an F10 and E70 Sport now, love them both. |
