    Stay out of (expensive) trouble. Go for the Lexus. I currently own a BMW and a Lexus. In 7 years, the Lexus zero problems. Now the BMW: Bought the cars pretty much simultaneously. After my last repair I told the BMW dealer to remember my face... cause he won't ever see it again.. after only 100k km, the Bmer has had a suspension ballon and compressor breakdown, also de GPS (twice in less than 3 years) the sunroof blind had to be replaced, and recently received a brand re-call letter to bring it in to correct a cooling system fault.. and I'm scared about a major malfunction with the engine timing chain a friend had really serous issues with.. Range Rover (another expensive piece of crap) and BMW.. never again.. Lexus is the brand..

      I agree. We just sold our BMW and replaced it with a new Lexus. We have an older Lexus and have had no problems with it since new. The BMW has been a maintenance and repair nightmare, with the latest engine problems causing us to sell it. The new vehicle was a Lexus RX 350 F-Sport and we hope to have the same reliability as the older Lexus. Sorry BMW, the ride/drive is not worth the expense.

  • @scott48
    @scott48 8 місяців тому +79

    Having owned both I can sum this up. As mentioned, Lexus will give you better reliability long term if you buy the car and keep it for a while. However if you lease it wont matter either way. The X5 is simply more fun to drive, more engagement with the road. The X5 all wheel drive system is also much better than the RX hands down if that matters. X5 however once out of warrantee is very expensive for oil changes, routine maintenance. Lexus is pretty on par with other manufacturers. X5 electronics are finicky after a while as well. Lexus can be serviced at pretty much any mechanic if you choose not to goto Lexus dealer for service. BMW your kind of stuck going to BMW dealer unless you can find a good mechanic that works on BMW's. My only concern right now with Lexus is that the 6 cyl turbo engine is new that they've put in. Jury still not out yet on how good/bad it is. The RX has many new safety features which are good on one hand but annoying/too much on the other. Enough beeping guys. Enough. I think it all comes down to what you want. If money is no object than hands down the X5 is a great car. If you want something of quality that is going to last for many many years, you pay the car off and keep it for a while and will get decent money back on a trade in then Lexus is better. I dont believe the X5 holds its resale value as well as Lexus either but again some people care, some dont.

    We bought 2023 Lexus RX350h
    Ultra luxury 74K And around same time our friend bought a 2023 BMW x5 premium package 100K
    Yes bmw has some more luxury like when you activate the front seats heating or cooling the arm rests get warm or cold too, but when you want to load stuff in the back of your x5 the lower part is kinda in the way unlike Lexus , in the Lexus the back seats are positioned Lower and in the x5 the beach seats are positioned higher and you can clearly see the difference between them but one thing that I liked about the Lexus is the door handle designs and the door opening assist that bmw didn’t had. About speed and acceleration no one gets an suv for performance they are not meant for that so we really didn’t cared about the performance, Ofcurse the car has to be able to carry its own weight but nothing more For us we got more bank for our buck so we bought a Lexus RX but I could totally see why people like to buy X5 after all it depends on your taste

    Lexus reliability is legendary. But for those who drive cars like the X5 it doesn't really matter. They are either going to lease this, or drive it for 5-6 years, trade it in and get a new one. And most of the European luxury cars are going to be great in that time period, while offering more modern tech and a more exciting engine/transmission with better handling. It all depends on what you want or need.

    The car they pick up the most are BMW's.
    So it is faster. Thats good. I mean, you need it to be fast so you can reach that shop or dealer for repairs before they close the place on ya...
    BMW does have some maintenance covered.
    Thats real good I gotta hand it to'm coz, Goodness gracious guys, dem boys sure do needed it.

    Here in Europe, the BMW brand is in decline. The standard of living is getting worse and worse, so people are thinking about what to spend their money on. BMW is known to be more problematic than Lexus. It is not only the service costs that need to be taken into account, but also the annoyance and the frequency of visits to the service center. So people here in Europe are also starting to realize that it is more worthwhile to buy a Japanese car. And now the Chinese cars are coming, which will really upset the balance of power......!

    To sum it up. If you want a point A to B premium SUV with reliability get the Lexus. I you have a soul and enjoy driving and you want a LUXURY SUV the get the BMW. Lexus is not on the same level with BMW when it comes to luxury. Lexus after all is just a Toyota with a dress on. So many people crying because Lexus lost. Remember Lexus makes some of the most reliable vehicles out there, but not the best vehicles. I probably makes more sense to compare Lexus to Infiniti, Genesis, or Volvo. Mercedes, BMW, and Audi are on another level in terms of technology and luxury
