The Lexus is more reliable long term but the BMW is more enjoyable to drive. Until you end up in the shop.
And someone above said it's $150 to change spark plugs on some V6 Eurojunk. That's hilarious! My four banger Escape would cost more than that to change plugs in at a shop if we include parts and labor and it literally takes 15 mins including finding the tools.

Is that why Hyundai decided to offer outrageous amouht of money to deputy chief engineer in M devision, and overnight became by far most paid engineer in whole automotive world? Guess what happend after? There are two cars called Stinger and G70, and guess who was lead engineer?

Escep can last until spark change?

You should consider the GMC Yukon Denali.

Excuse me? I sold my 08 Escape v6 to my coworkers daughter and she still drives it every day including some long trips. It's running great at over 220k on the original engine and transmission. And my 2010 Escape is almost at 100k and so far so good.

Audi S4 V6 labor rate (if you give someone) here where I live is $90, NGK spark plugs are going for some $10 a piece. Actually I was right on $150 mark.
Though since in Audi engine sits somewhere between headlight washers, my 2 year old kid could change them.

I will be sure to honk as I drive by in my Santa Fe as your M is in the shop having the low end rebuilt.
