- ( www.TFLcar.com ) The new 2013 Lexus ES 350 and the new BMW 335i have one very important thing in common...they are the most popular cars that Lexus and BMW builds and sells. For over 15 years the Lexus ES has out sold every other Lexus model in the Luxury Toyota line-up. The BMW 3 series is ( and has been) by far the best-selling BMW that the Bavarian car manufacturer builds. In another fun and informative TFLcar Mashup 0-60 MPH Drive Review we not only see test to see which car is better but we also compare both cars to determine which one of these two iconic vehicles is the best buy for the money. So is the 2013 Lexus ES 350 or the 2013 BMW 335i the better entry level sport and luxury ride? You'll have to watch this video to find out.
BMW doesnt last long, You can give your lexus to your future grand children
And they'll resent you for the boring car you gave them.
+Kr3wXv better than taking the bus.
@@Kr3wXv If your kids complain about getting a free Lexus, they're spoiled brats.
Yup actually true
@@casualsuede anything is better than riding the bus
Loser Cruiser for a reason 😂
I have lexus es and loving it everyday
You n You the earlier Lexuses were beautiful
Nowadays, in a bid to make their cars super sporty n stylish looking, Lexus ends up spoiling the looks n they kinda look ugly, do you agree ?

@@devashreeghorpade649 honestly, the 2013 in the video looks decent. the spindle grill isn't over the top like the new ones.
Tyler Pyle truee......
In India lexuses are tooooo expensive 🤬🤬
Same
i have a 2013 lexus es 350 and i love it!! i had a 2009 bmw 750il and i think lexus is a better car.. had too many problems with bmw!!
true my mom had a 3 series wayyyyy to many problems with overpriced parts she moved to Infinti (M37) Great Sports Sedan 350 hp i believe to a Altima (good on gas for her new job) now that she quit shes going to either Lexus or Acura or Audi
The Lexus seems like more of an adult's car. The smaller BMW seems like something a rich little punk would speed in.
Haha yea right
Actually lexus is a rich car. Some million airs usually ride lexus than the bmws
This lexus is based on camry. This design is known for smooth, cushy, buick like drive. The 3 series is sport orientated RWD sedan. A fair comparison would be a is350 vs this bmw 335i.
Lexus es350 is by far the most boring of the bunch; nonetheless, still is a luxury car. What you do get from es350 is the unbeatable reputation, reliability, resale value and a piece of mind.
Vlad B Correction -- ES350 is based on the Avalon platform now. Agree with the fact that the ES350 will get you a reliable, comfortable, quiet and excellent resell vehicle.
Snappppp Correction Avalon is based on stretched Toyota K platform which is known as the Camry's platform. camry-toyota-es, just trace it back to the original source. Just because something was changed does not make it a entirely new platform.
The ES is for comfort not racing. The GS is for speed
@@N00dl3G0d gs*
Agree , even the gas pedal not let you to push it hard
And the IS of course
Lets be real. No Lexus is made for speed 😂 Even LFA Performance is laughable
@@mechanicism8060 lfa performance is amazing, what are you talking about?
If you are spending your own hard earned money, and has got a brain, you'll buy a Lexus. If you are a teenager who love cars but can't afford any, you'll take the BMW because it has soul, passion, handling blabla. I know because I was there before.
And oh, the Lexus 3.5v6 is one of the best engines you can get. You'll think so anyway once you realise the BMW has chocked itself to carbon death due to direct injection.
just picked up my first decent car i was able to buy its a 2013 es, same as the video but gray, love it, i drive 24/7 and am terrified the BMW would not be able to handle it
my aunt worked at BMW dealer as i grew up, from her and her son driving those cars my entire life i learned that they are poor quality junk, good for a very short time. for people who just want to look rich when they go downtown, but people who understand cars cant be fooled by the looks. toyota and BMW are not in the same universe of reliablitly
@@retgastothefloor8284 As an auto broker I warn my clients. Some don't listen to the truth you speak. They have HUGE regrets later! The new name for BMW should be MPG: MONEY PIT GLOBAL.
Lexus all day everyday
love Lexus all the way
"Smooth as hell" Thats why I love Lexus.. why do every ES comes with the smaller wheels not the bigger option ones
The Lexus is the epitome of luxury.
hahahah Lexus are pieces of shit
aroundthebend FUCK BMW's
Aroundthebend, what do u own? A toytota, Honda, lol what, Lexus es 350 starting price is 37,000 but people always add excersories, Toyotas probably will never go over 20,000
Lexus is the best
Gtrarman Yep)
And Toyota is amazing, so what's your point?
Yep my dream car
Geke Cains if you like high priced Toyota’s sure...
Journee Hamilton you’re a very ambitious person, Sir
Bmw has too much to fix and too much problems. The lexus is easier to drive and smoother. The lexus is the smoothest car and the best!
It's FWD lol
If you have a extended warranty who cares. The thrill of driving a bmw vs being put to sleep by Lexus/Toyota is why BMW’s sell like crazy.
thrasherx2k1 exactly
Thanks for the comment, but what part of the word "Mashup" don't you understand?
Spicy
The IS 250 my best friend had with the sport tuned suspension - it handled amazingly. Not a horsepower beast, but it handled incredibly well. And it was a pretty nice care inside.
gtfoh with slow ass is250 😂😂😂
First of all most BMW is well-engineered and solidly built, but it won’t be as reliable as Japanese brands. BMW prices are to high for the qualities. I suggest if you want a car just to drive to work buy ES 350, sport RC, GS 350, IS 350, even better LS 460 or Lexus RC. Lexus are the most reliable cars in the world. For all of you BMW lover will spend lot of money for maintenance just make sure you have warranty on it and not extended either.
This is interesting for me because last night I traded in my 2012 BMW 328i for a 2013 Lexus ES 350
congrats, how are you finding it 3 years later?
How reliable has the Lexus been?
@@MiguelGuitars Ive had the 2015 ES 350 for a year no problems at all thru a canadian winter it held up very well.
Nice I am a 2009 Es 350 owner and will never go back to Beamer.
Lexus forever
I personally think people should buy two German cars at the same time that way when one breaks down you can bring it to the mechanic shop and drive the other one. .. and keep rotating them sort of like how you rotate your tires! lol
As a daily driver a an es350 I really love this lexus
I love lexus..lexus all day..
?4U. I love Lexus, I drive a 07 es330. It has a torque converter clutch issue. And a 02 es330 it cuts off white driving. Kinda weird I love Lexus no matter what. Just some drama I would have never expected.
Omfg, please compare a bus to a train next...........
Too funny. I was sorta hoping they compared walking to hitching a ride.
they do mentioned couple times in the video, these two don't compete with each other
Semi to a train
Ahhahahahhaha this comment had me laughing so harddd hahahaha
It may not seem much, but it´s great that the intro of TFL videos doesn´t take ¨half hour¨, thanks guys!
bmws are disposable like paper plates and cups..
Bimmer build quality and materials are 2 steps above lexus bro, don't confuse reliability that lexus has with quality. Lexus is glorified toyota bro, and BMW is a BMW
SUPER AGREE!!!
Sunamer Z fit and finish on a bmw are superior to Lexus. Whether the mechanical parts underneath hold up is another story.
Lol..bmw is drunk lexus change the game.make all germans crops look like junks all they have to offer is more hp..that dnt lost garbi...
@@thrasherx2k1 lol..fit and wat ? All german autos r crops..lexus came in at 1989 and changer how lug.......cars r made details wise everyting..german autos was like toyota is a mass production auto.not a lu.......r speed lol..well up to now none of them can make a car like toyota lexus thats run smo........heck all toyota r better than all german junks...3 years dnt value r sell for notting.not toyotas r toyota lexus..if the were so good the wud b number in auto making..toyota is..and lots of things toyota invet b4 the germans .first 8 speep tranny first auto to invent parking sencers..and lots more too..anytime any german can sell 45million of one unit.....of a car talk then fool..
the headache and stress and cost of keeping a BMW on the road and the resale value where I live have made me jump ship to Lexus.
I had a BMW 325i back in College. Good hell that car was amazing. Red, saddle brown leather inside. That straight six was torque generator like no other. 5 Speed manual... Oh man... driving that car was pure automotive joy. I miss that car.
this is untrue, my ES 350 can hit from 0-60 in 6 seconds or lettel less than 6, too! It is a really powerful V6 eangen engine.
Yeup es350 is a great car
I still love watching these guys!!🙌🏾
You two are the best tandem in American car reviews! I enjoy your reviews, its fun like top gear the BBC version not the US version! Please not change at all!
Seems like you guys had a lot of fun with this one, I still think it's a good idea to compare similarly priced cars even if they don't directly compete. People like options, not classes!
We would say that you are 100 percent correct but as you point out we'd be lying.
Awesome video
Bmw will break down quick and requires a lot of maintenance lexus equals life long and barley any maintenance
That's old thinking.
maintenance is free for 3 to 5 years depending on where you buy your BMW
Yep very trashy
Top 5 most reliable car brands? Talk about talking out of your butt. ://www.consumerreports.org/car-reliability-owner-satisfaction/car-brands-reliability-how-they-stack-up/
JDM Toyota but its German so who cares 😂... its like comparing Glashütte watches to Grand Seiko ;)
just got a 2015 335i m sport with a Dinan tune
What an amazing car couldn't be happier!
Gotta say i really enjoyed the review, you guys kept it interesting and fun. Keep it up maybe other car channels can learn a thing or two.
yeah, they are in 2 different classes. but awesome mashup for 0-60, 335 did go much faster than expected
BMW> Mercedes> Audi> Lexus in my opinion
I'd go BMW>Audi>Mercedes>Lexus
oneaburns Lexus over Mercedes over Audi over BMW.
What about Acura and Infiniti? Those two brands, along with Lexus, make up Japan's offerings in the luxury market.
Pretty dope can’t even lie. Not too many videos make me wanna leave a comment 🤘🏾
I'm so glad you said what you did about the nav screen in the BMW. Its one of those things that drove me crazy about the car when I saw it, and I haven't heard anyone else complain of it. Thanks for your review guys.
Why you guys don't give a full review for the interior of your tested cars to covered everything for the viewer!? I hope you give us full review in the cars and thanks for your cool videos 😊
Fun fact, the Lexus in this video is still running, the BMW isn't.
They're both driving automatics! Completely turned it into butt pirate cars.
Manuals are pointless these days. They aren’t any more fuel efficient or faster
The new lexus front end looks sick. Still a big fwd car though. I would be all over the ES if they offered some type of AWD or even RWD. The car looks too good to be a FWD. BMW is nice but the added cost and questionable reliability makes me wonder why people keep spending so much on them.
They should call these videos "smash up" rather than "mashup" and deliberately collide their cars together .....now that would make for something worth watching!
how many BMWs for sale with a 150K miles on them and still run well? You can get a 10 year old Lexus with 150K miles on it for less than $12K and drive it across the country without much repair worries.
There's a reason that these cars are converging. They each have good qualities that the other wants.
What I want to see sometime soon from you guys is some mashups where you do the usual high altitude 0-60 times, then drive down to sea level and show the difference. And use a mix of turbo and naturally aspirated engines like this duo. Or if you could get something like a pair of new Fusions, one with turbo and one without. Might as well throw in the hybrid too while we're at it.
Who the hell would match a Lexus ES up against a BMW 335i?! This comparison makes no sense as these are two different types of cars with different natures
2GR-FE from LEXUS for the win!!!!
very interesting video and hosts!
I kind of like the ES 350's exhaust note over the BMW's, but I hate the ES all the way around. Currently have a GS 350 used to have an ES and in my opinion, the ES is more of a "soccer mom" car or a family car, and yes I know that's what it's really meant to be. Used to have a BMW 750 Li and the reliability is crap, but in terms of engines, BMW has better power than Lexus in the majority of their cars.
What kind of test is this.. These cars are hardly ever cross shopped.. One is for a 50 year old buyer and the other is for a 20 something year old with money to lease. No one has ever though the word Sport and has a Lexus ES come to mind. This should've been a test with the IS350 if anything..
Same basic trans that sits behind many Chrysler products now. It's a ZF designed unit and it's one heck of a good one too. Rolls uses them as well.
The trolling is strong in this one.
This damn LEXUS are too damn good,
If I need some speed and drag I drove my GS
Then I’ll drive my ES next for some R&R
. I called my cars FLEXUS baby. Woooo
A 6.5 lb burrito in Nathan's belly?! Am going to let that sink in.
By doing 0-60 mph in approx 5.8 seconds, this ($50k+) BMW has an excellent C/S Rating (Cost per Second) of only/approx $10,000.00 per second!!! Sounds like a reasonable return on the high price.
O.K., there's no such thing as a "C/S Rating"...and that Bimmer is friggin' quick!!!
U should of done the is350 vs 335i
I think the gs 350 is a better competitor vs bmw 335i. Its running an upgraded 2grfse. Larger injectors that are fan sprayed creating more power while reducing emissions
yep. my friend has the 2008 335i convertible and I got the 2009 convertible. solid. built like a tank. feel the road when you drive it. amazing machines.
Its called a mash-up for a reason, it means two cars that are not competing
Great vid , Why are people so mad , you guys are doing great review and Match up , keep doing it and ignor negatif comments ,sorry about my english , I speak french so....
I have both a Lexus GS 350 and a B.M.W X5 lol.
How much you wanna bet that Lexus will end up being more reliable in the long run?
good review, good channel. respect to you guys for coming up with something original in the already crowded world of car reviews. as for the 335i : I drive the F30 model now with the 8-speed-auto and had the E90 335i with a stick before. true, the manual is more involving, but: on the unrestricted autobahn here in germany the eeeendlessly long 8th gear is great. you'll see 4000rpm at about 230-240kmh which just makes this transmission a phantastic proposition to cover ground.
nice exhaust notesss
Great, enjoyable video once again. Love you guys. You're awesome, both of you.
You guys are the best
Good video and amazing BMW :)
LOOL sometimes I watch these videos just for the hilariousness of Roman and Nathan =D
Nice comparison test. That said I wouldn't judge the steering feel of a BMW based on an Xdrive model.
The IS350 is the segment market for rear wheel drive. ES being front drive shares the Avalon platform so its can be priced far cheaper, use the non-GDI motor with the less weight, and have more interior space.
IS is rear drive.
but ES is front drive.
They are very different.
I know the Bimmer is gonna win anyway, but FYI, my stock 2008 ES350 with 115k miles does 0-60 in 6.7-6.8 seconds.
I also have a stock es350 but mines a 2007 with the same amount of miles
+Jose Arellano mine still runs like a champ
+do duc duy Yup lexus are reliable cars
do duc duy BMW is the king over Lexus always.
do duc duy Lexus is a cheap luxury car that imitate the BMW for years, look at the Lexus interior now it mimics the BMW lol, Lexus only has reliability, but they suck in performance and handling, BMW is reliable but only to drivers who follow on schedule proper maintenance, and warranty, people who complain about BMW are the poor ones who shouldn't be driving it in the first place.
I've been cross shopping the BMW, Audi and Mercedes and I have to say I never saw the Lexus as a worthy competitor. When I think of Lexus I think of words like: lazy, lethargic, lack of engineering, lifeless. A car with no soul. Lexus competes with Acura, Infiniti and Volkswagen. Front drive overpriced econoboxes. And yes I own an Acura and its time to move on.
So my Impala actually goes 6.8-7 secs from 0-60 didn't know it could beat that lexus :D
This is at a mile above sea level
I'm not sure what you mean?
+Bakheet Al-Ghannam cars are significantly slower at higher altitudes because of the thinner air. The GS350 will actually do a 5.5 0 to 60
Revving wise, I agree..however that inline 6 under acceleration is superior to most 6 cylinders in terms of sound IMO.
Each year, Cadillac is seeing their median age drop. In fact, 70% of all new Cadillac ATS buyers are coming from former German car owners.
That says a lot!
I’ve had the same model 335i Sport in manual. I didn’t really like it much. Now I drive a Lexus ES 300h.
I can not believe these two car actually being compared.
Is this matt farrah's million miles lexus ?
No way in hell the BMW is worth $56k. $47k TOPS. The ES 350 MUST be made into rear wheel or all wheel drive, PERIOD.
My 2.5 year old 11 Audi S4 DSG, B8 S4 introduced 2009, is still ahead of this so called all new BMW 335i... I will wait for the B9 S4.
I like both of those cars :) They're great
Well, I do agree when you say those vehicles have very high reliability. But, You also have to factor in the owner of the vehicle and the maintenance done to the car. I had a E36 M3 and i clocked it at 300,000 miles and all i did was water pump, radiator, tune up and oil changes. My cousin's Honda Accord 2002 was in the shop every other month while others rarely see a shop. People stay away from BMW because they can not afford to maintain it. Hence some break down due to owners negligence.
awd, 8 speeds, turbos, not to mention that it is a well known fact the its engine is severely underrarted
great review guys! do the mashup again for lexus gs 350 and bmw..
Don’t listen to the guy about having BMW’s manual vs AT. The 8 speed Sport AT w/paddles is far superior to the manual in every way. It’s faster, better MPG and drives better. I drove both and bought the AT
The Lexus wins in luxury and comfort. Hands down. No car company can beat Lexus in terms of built quality, comfort and reliability to date!
Good honest reviews
Great vid! love you guys
It's unfair to compare a Lexus ES to a BMW 3 Series. The ES is based on a front-wheel drive transverse engine platform shared from the Camry. The 3 Series is a true sports sedan with its rear-wheel drive layout and inline 6 cylinder longitudinal mounted.
FUCKEN GERMAN CARS FOR IDIOTS
"Perfect comfort"
i have a '11 335i and just 2 days ago bought a '14 is250
I like both cars. opted for the 250 vs 350 since the 335 gives me every bit of performace I need, when I need it. I think the 250 is a great looking car, performs well and is far superior in comfort. 250 is my new daily, and the 335 got a delegated to weekend duties.
So I guess I'm the exception to the rule.
German cars need Japanese engineering when it comes to there electricals.
I was at an Auto Show recently, and I was disappointed with the ES's interior. There was a generous use of cheap, hard plastic along the center console and around the lower doors.
the exhaust on the Bimmer has some serious carbon build-up on the pipes.
Great review, as usual.
These two vehicles are not comparable at all... Two totally separate classes
From a former bmw owner I’d say Lexus no doubt, if I want a sporty car I’ll go for a Porsche.
what about 20 meter dash between Roman and Nathan as a Mashup?
well in the beginning you can clearly hear them saying that the competition is that both of these cars are the best sellers respectively for their companies.
