It was found to be no mechanical faults in any of those reported incidents...
....My Lexus SA told me that aftermarket and misplaced floor mats caused the throttle to get stuck, They even brought NASA in to prove this....

When I'm driving the wife's ES350, I'm not trying to race anyone nor do any crazy windy mountain driving. I just want to get from point A to point B in a comfortable smooth ride, and in that sense it delivers.
Roora85 is spot on with his assessment, except the part about the ES outrunning the GS. I believe the GS has higher HP and torque than the ES (according to Edumunds 303HP/275ft-lbs vs. 272HP/254ft-lbs). In my limited experience with the 07+ GS, it definitely felt "sportier" in its ride and handling than the ES does.

He doesnt care about speed. all he can afford is gs300 not gs350.
bmw is better of course, but he wants reliability.
GO TO THE DEALERSHIP N DRIVE BOTH OF THEM. YOU HAVE TO EXPERIENCE IT FOR YOUR OWN SELF. YOU CANT MAKE YOUR CHOICE BASED ON NT'ERS OPINIONS.
WAKE UP TOMORROW N GO.

I`m in the stacking stage, I've driven the 06 ES but not the newer gen, I dont really wanna go to the Dealer and get hassled just to test drive. I pretty much just want to have a set goal/ lineup of cars to look at before I start making moves.

You don't need to cop a BMW for that feeling.

Are BMW gonna provide a quiet ride, or will they be more "power" types?

They are built more for power and performance but my 335i is extremely quiet inside the cabin. Lexus is built more for luxury outside of the IS model. It really depends on what you are going for. BMW is going to PROBABLY require more for maintenance out of warranty, but for me it is in warranty. If you are pushing your budget to get into a luxury car that is out of warranty I would suggest going back to the drawing board. The worst decision you can make is to buy a car that you cant afford the upkeep on and luxury is not cheap to maintain.
