I vividly remember over cooking the brakes on the street easily something I have yet to encounter in my M340i. Also, the Lexus brakes were done in 15k miles with my driving. M340i at 18K miles still have 90% brake capacity left. I miss nothing about the Lexus and I drove it for 3 years and almost 45k miles. A G70 is a far better choice than any Lexus. 3IS was my first Lexus and likely my last, LC500 is the only true gem they make today.

All fair points. I should have specified when I said "mass" I actually meant the sheer size of the vehicle. While cars like the Giulia, IS, G70 etc feel compact, with the 3-series I just feel like there's so much shit behind me. Very long wheelbase.
