I decided to splurge on the Lexus GS instead. Looking forward to going in and happy and coming out happy...not going in sad and coming out happy *hopefully* as in the x5

I switch from a Lexus to the BMW X5. All I have to say is good luck with Lexus. They are not all that they are cracked up to be. Aside from the electrical and transmission issues I had, the normal service interval (every 5k miles) costs were really expensive. Every service was no less that $200 and the most was $800 for a 30,000 mile service. Ride comparision between the two vehicles is night and day.
