I’m In A Dilemma: Bmw 3 Series Or Lexus IS 250, Which Is A Better Ride. Pix by Jbleenk: 4:23pm On Jan 27, 2019 |
I’ve own and driven a Bmw before (although not within the shores of Nigeria) I loved each and every seconds I spend driving it. I haven’t experienced Lexus on the other hand but I’m sure it must be a great ride. My dilemma Every cells in me is longing for a Bmw, but I’ve been getting bad reviews about it being unreliable on Nigerian roads and how expensive maintenance could get plus no readily available mechanics with adequate experience blah blah blah but I still feel like going for it against all odds. People have been asking me to go for the Lex for obvious reasons being not expensive to run and maintain and what have you. For those that have experienced driving any of the wheeps in Nigeria, can you please set the record straight so I can make an informed decision. Thanks. Pix are just for illustration 1 Share

Just buy the 2, then we enjoy it 2geda, when you get bored of 1 we switch. But I will be the owner of the IS while you will be rightful owner of the E90 bros for life 20 Likes 1 Share |

..so in summary, the BMW is a better car to drive while the Lexus IS is a more reliable car to own. Against this backdrop, I'd say the Lexus is a better bet. 7 Likes |

The IS 250. But why not the IS350? The IS250 is a direct injection engine which is prone to carbon buildup on the intake valves which over time could cause random misfires. The IS 350 has both port and direct injection which totally elinimates this problem and of course has more power. 7 Likes |

Since you have experience with the BMW I'd suggest you go for the e90. It's an excellent ride to own and run around. Any car can be a lemon, make sure you do proper inspection before paying for your new car. That Lexus IS is just a tricked out Yaris. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

I have a friend who owns an 05 E90. The parts of that car is far more expensive when compared to those of a newer C class Mercedes,like say 09 W204. Dunno if its his mechanics that have been "chopping" him sha. 1 Like |

Jbleenk: The bolded is a fallacy Bro... Perhaps cheaper parts but with my experience from normal running costs of a Lexus (Rx330 and Es330) and all that, maintaining it isn't as cheap as what people make you believe especially fuel oo Lol. So don't fail to expect surprises from the IS250 as it may not be the angelic Saint you think it to be oo LOL I find running my Benz cheaper as per fuel economy mostly sha cheaper by far 7 Likes |

alphaNomega: Don't say things you have no idea about. A Yaris and an IS have nothing in common. alphaNomega: Funny, because a GS is actually just a stretched out, slower, worse handling IS with a better interior. What are you even saying? 4 Likes |
