In a sport model i think the e39 looks good .also has aluminium in parts of dash which looks nicer than plastic wood. They also rust around boot lock and the cooling system not great. Also after 100k the auto gearboxes can play up. And stereo is awful. I had a gs300 with 200k on it and had been abused. It drove lovely. No rust and stereo was great. The trouble with lexus in some peoples eyes theyre a bit bland. Put it this way . Since my silver gs ive had an ls300 sportscross a ls400 and now a ls430. All under £2000 .to get a bmw id want id have to pay three times that
