First and formost, for me all cars are compared to BMW's, thats my standard. The audi's that I have tested all drive front heavy, A6 and the hot A4, which was fast but didn't drive as well as my then 2002 330i.

The Lexus gave you alot, but lacked the sports car feel which I thrive on, the 545i has it's issues which I were unknown to me when I leased my 545i, but after 18 months and 25,000 miles I would do it again.

Nothing drives like a BMW.

My Ride: 2005 545i SMG. Titanium Grey with Grey interior and Anthracite wood.

Audi A6 = VW Passat, too heavy with Quattro
Lexus GS = Toyota Avalon, good qulaity but still a Toyota
Mercedes = No way, my fathers Oldsmobile
M45 = wasn't availalbe, still a Nissan
BMW 545 = SMG all the way

No other car could offer a transmission I liked. The SMG is great!!!
