Replying to: jayvis (Apr 01, 2009 3:17 pm) Looking through my wife's X3 maintenance records. We took delivery of the X3 in July of 2007. It went back to the dealer in September for a check engine light. Turned out to be a faulty carbon filter. The truck was in the shop for a day and my wife got a loaner and was no way inconvenienced. The X3 did not return to the dealer until June of '08 for its first service. With over 15,000 miles on the odometer. Again, the truck was in and out of the shop in a day and my wofe was provided with a loaner car and not inconvenienced. If that's unreliable to you, then I don't know what to tell you. Personally I would never own a Toyota or Lexus. I can't stand the floaty and completely isolated ride. Feels like you are driving your couch.

Replying to: jayvis (Apr 02, 2009 6:37 am) My point about is iPod is that, not only does BMW beats your Lexus in driving enjoyment it also beats the Lexus in entertainment features!! Also, the funniest thing I seen recently are those Audi Q5 commercials that show all those lookalike RX's, so true bottom line, go back to the Lexus Forum. Let us BMW people enjoy our own company!!!

Replying to: jayvis (Apr 02, 2009 10:40 am) You are right about the ride. Some like soft, some like a little harsh. It all depends what your perception is. My Dad has an '07 x5 3.0 with sports package and I don't think it rides harsh in any way. For my rear end, it is a little on the soft side. Just curious, how often does your owners' manual say the RX has to be serviced? Have you checked with the dealer to see how much the service costs? I know the BMW full maintenance isn't free & that they raised their service intervals significantly since they started offering "free" maintenance. It is built into the price of the car. If you look at how much some services cost for competing models like an ML350 or an Audi Q7 you'll always come out on top with the BMW. As far as Lexus & Infiniti go, part of the beauty is that if you're leasing and you really want to, you can (I'm not recommending this) theoretically take the cars to Jiffy lube for an oil change.
