Lexus is ahead of BMW, Toyota is far ahead of BMW.
One point in reliability is huge.

Totally different metric, which is irrelevant for the purpose of this discussion (e.g.: Rivian has THE highest owner satisfaction, and the THE lowest reliability). Which means grand total of nothing, other than subjective "satisfaction" does not require "reliability". Some folks are "satisfied" by highly unreliable shiny toys:

What is your evidence to back-up this claim?
You continue to denigrate Lexus by calling it an "appliance", which is exactly how I would describe BMW's highest selling X1-X4 truck-a-ppliances.

Not true.
You should be driving Lexus IS series - which has the highest reliability of that brand, as documented above.
That would be a very satisfying and very reliable outcome!
YMMV,
