Got into it with a 06 GS430

Man that sob is pretty quick he got a jump on me at a light and that was it. I couldn't catch up to it once he got ahead. If it makes any difference I wasn't even paying attention he just bolted when the light turned green. He kind a caught me off guard, but the thing is I couldn't gain any ground on him. Pretty messed up if you ask me it ruined my relaxing drive home. Wasn't expecting to be spanked by a Lexus sedan. Oh well easy come easy go..........yeah right wait til I see him again and this time I'll be ready.

325 lb-ft torque @ 3,400 rpm and it only weighs 200 lbs more than us. The new GS's are really nice cars but I think the price tag is a little ridiculous. I'd rather have the M3 which costs less.

Thats a good point, they do weigh only 200lbs more than the Gs.

Are you kiddin me? GS is a SEDAN that can keep up with and/or smoke g35! interior cant even compare, sadly. Also, GS is almost trouble & maintenance free, compared to M3, which is faster ride, yet will drain your wallet on $$$ you have to spend on their special BMW motor oils (which, i heard, is not covered by the free-maintanance.) and known to be a little too harsh as a daily driver.

Well, handling, THAT is a different story, of course...
