IT DEPENDS ON THE TIRE ( BRIDGESTONE OR DUNLOP). I THINK THE BRIDGESTONE RIDES LITTLE FIRMER. ALSO, HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR RIDE. SOFT AND CHSHY OR LITTLE FIRMER TO FEEL THE ROAD LITTLE BETTER. OVERALL, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET THE KIND OF HANDLING FROM BMW. IT'S A DIFFERENT CAR FOR DIFFERENT PEOPLE. I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA. I HAVE FOUND MY OPTIMUM RIDE PRESSURE AT 37/38 PSI COLD- FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. IT WILL WARM UP TO ABOUT 42-43 WHEN IT'S HOT. I AM RIDING ON KUMHO PLATINIUM LX- WHICH IS BETTEER TIRE WHEN IT COMES TO HANDLING THAN DUNLOP. DUNLOP RODE VERY SOFT.

I TOO WAS SHOCKED TO FIND THE LEXUS FOLLOWING THE FOOTSTEPS OF BMW AND BENZ WHEN IT CAME TO REG. SECHEDULED SERVICE. I CALLED THE DEALER TO FIND THAT ONLY THING REPLACED ON THE CAR WAS THE OIL AND THE FILTER FOR $180- I LIVE IN LOS ANGELES. ALL OTHER SERVICES PERFORMED WAS JUST CHECKING. HAVING BEEN A PREVIOUS TOYOTA OWNER, NOT MUCH GOES WRONG WITH A CAR- IF IT DOES, THEN YOU KNOW TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER. JUST TAKE IT TO YOUR REPUTABLE CAR REPAIR SHOP. IT DOES TAKE ABOUT 8 QT. OF OIL SO MY SHOP CHARGES ME $40. DO NOT TAKE IT TO A PLACE LIKE JIFFY LUBE. MOST OF THE WORKER WILL NOT BE FAMILIER WITH EXTER STEPS TO IN ORDER TO ACCESS THE OIL FILTER WHICH HAS NO CANISTER.
