In my expierience, cars that run a lot of miles, have few engine problems, and I figure these two have great engines. Looking for a new driving expierience, but need it on the road, not the shop. What is the the right car?
I would advise against getting BMW as a commuter car. We bought a 05 Lexus ES just for a commuter car. 68k miles on the car and only one minor problem has occurred with the car (window wouldn't go down). Our older Lexus (2000) is reading about 205k miles. I'm surprised, one minor problem with that car throughout so far.

As far as gadgets go, I would take the Japanese car's GPS over the BMW anyday.
