Lexus vs BMW

I might add something here that is of a different shelf all together.....
I always.... always loved Merc and BMW for their comfortable seats. Seating position and cushioning of my butt was always a priority. After all I want to be comfortable in my car ( no matter what I drive ) . Now.... if you will lQQk closely at Chris driving M5 and then look at him driving the lexus, please notice HOW BMW is holding ( hugging ) him safely in place vs Lexus shattering, bouncy ride.
I don't think I'm making a mistake here, and am comparing apples to apples.
That was the reason for me when I chose not get into GTR , ISF since either of the seats could not hold me down to my liking, I did not feel right. I'm not a heavy build guy 180lbs and 6.5 ft.
Look at the video again and you be the judge for yourself.

He's got a point on 600 hp being too much for the RWD setup. I'm looking forward to getting an X5M for better traction and then I hope to get the F90 M5 when it comes out and enjoy the AWD benefits at that level of power.

Hm...I have looked at the video and Harris raved about the Lexus's seat (saying it's one of the best one he has encountered in the last 5 years), that it's super supportive and comfortable, and great driving position.

He didn't compliment M5's seat.

I guess Japanese cars are not suited for your butt
