liking f10 as a whole so far

Faymester

I guess I'm alone in liking the differentness of the E60. The F10 just seems so, blandly slotted in to me.


Edit: I can't resist adding how annoying I found auto spys guy that was narrating the walk around. He seriously lacks vocabulary and sentance structure.

And that is why women don't design cars.

^^^ That's a bit harsh...! haha

I have heard from numerous BMW people and mechanics that the E60 was pretty poorly built compared to the E39 so I'm sure it's not too hard to improve upon in that area.

Looks, IMO, are so subjective and individual that it's tough to argue what does and doesn't look good; to each his/her own!

Haha, amen. A personal peeve of mine as well and I sit in class wondering how some people got into grad. school.

I would hope the F10 is better than E60, of course, thats not really saying much. The E60 is one of the uglist 5 series that I can remember. I look forward to checking out this new 5 series, it almost look like a larger 3 series and the 3 series is one of BMW's better looking sedan. I am even starting to warm up to the new interior

generation after generation the 5 series has improved. It will continue to set the bar in the segment resulting in the competion going back to the drawing board.

2 women designed the BMW Z4...one for the exterior, one for the interior

1 women designed the Acura ZDX......

LOL. The cars are that good out of the box & must be experienced to believe.

LexFather

You drove the new one?

I wonder what the engine of the new M5 will be.

I'm guessing that, as much as the V10 engine is superb, it would have to be replaced & downsized (due to Euro 5 emission regulations already in effect).

I'm guessing twin-turbo V8 engine (brand new). Anyways, as long as it has same or more power than the outgoing model, then it's perfectly fine with me.



P.S.
Since the new 5er is out, then expect that this would form the basis of the next-gen series.

Man an M5 and an M6. Bam, BMW at its fastest

It's supposed to have a slightly more powerful version of the V8TT in the X5M and X6M.

I have never doubt any BMWs as far as performance goes, its ashame that they forgot all the other qualities that make a great car. Personally, I would rather have a well rounded car than a car that is just design for performance, but that is just me, everyone is different. Althought this new 5 series does look pretty on the outside and the interior has been improve but still not as nice inside as the competition. Like I said, I will have to go check it out and see it in person.
I must say, I was very dissapointed when I was looking at the last gen 5 series. The performance was a bit better than Audi, but it was pretty lacking in every other area.
