Thumbs up 2011 F10 5-series reviews are rolling in and all say car is better than E60 model!

5POST.com has compiled F10 5-series reviews.

Sounds like it's a much better car than the E60 in every way and will even be priced lower than it!

Very good reviews for the 5. Looks like BMW has another winner.

Have an e60 now, and I will definitely look into purchasing the new 5.

No doubt it was going to drive well. Pricing means nothing to me, most are leased and most are full of options. A base price for BMW means nada.

Exterior looks great. Interior is still kind of bland.

What's with the fighter plane joystick, though?

Oh come on, you don't want your $50K BMW with non-metallic paint and leatherette?

I can't wait for the M5! I think this next M5 is going to be so awesome. I love the new look. I really hated the the e60 facia.

Of course it's better, (and better-looking too since that wasn't hard to do).
