Article comments for Comparison Test: 2007 BMW 335i vs. 2007 Lexus IS 350 - When we matched these cars against each other in 2006, the newly redesigned 306-hp Lexus IS 350 ran away from the 255-hp BMW 330i with a quicker acceleration to 60 mph by more than a full second. On the other hand, that BMW outmaneuvered the Lexus in every objective and subjective handling category. (more)

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jun 18, 2007 6:50 am) True 'dat. Neither car won't be thrown out of my garage should I happen to find one in there. It's like the person who buys a car he doesn't like because it's "safer". Good point. Safety, reliability are just two considerations thrown into the mix when deciding on a purchase. The unfortunate accident to New Jerseys' governor is an example of what can happen even in a car built like a tank. You just can't plan for these things, so you might as well make your choice and move on. The chips will fall where they may.
#110 of 138 One Question by txbmwfan Jun 19, 2007 (8:15 am)
This was originally a thread about Edmund's Lexus IS350 vs. BMW335i comparison test and performance stats. Why has it devolved into Lexus vs. BMW reliability? Interesting that no one mentioned the significant number recalls recently by Toyota/Lexus. Not taking sides. Just interesting how perception often becomes reality. Plus anyone who posts here is an enthusiast and/or had a problem with their car. You don't see lots of postings on any forum concerning the lack of problems with a car!

Replying to: txbmwfan (Jun 19, 2007 8:15 am) My 2006 330 had a problem out of the gate (<5K miles) but that doesn't mean I do not like the car. My preference is to use it until the warranty is over and then give it back. I'd rather pay up front for worry free-driving be it this one or a loaner! It's addicting even though it costs more!

Replying to: circlew (Jun 19, 2007 8:26 am) Sorry to hear about the problem with your 330. I previously had a 325i for 4 years with no problems. I guess it depends on the particular car. Best, BKB

Replying to: txbmwfan (Jun 19, 2007 8:15 am) Some of the recent posts about reliability have to do with a comment in post 93, where it was said in part: "BMWs suffer from reliability issues". Replies to this message: txbmwfan (Jun 19, 2007 9:44 am)

Replying to: kdshapiro (Jun 19, 2007 9:28 am) Yes, I saw that post. Rather, I meant why post that in this thread? There are separate threads regarding reliability.
