latest projected pics of the f10?

Its a myth, who knows. BMW probably will go the design direction of the CS for future models

My Ride: 2005 BMW-Alpina B5 Touring #007, Malachite Green w/ Caramel Individual interior 1999 BMW 840Ci Sport Individual, Techno Violet w/ Champagne Individual interior

I think I'll be keeping the Alpina for a good long while - the German horsepower war's about to come crashing down, just as it did 15 years ago, on a slowing global economy, a financial crisis and environmental concerns, so today's big bruisers may be the last of a dying, but classic, breed!

Meantime, I just got myself a Mini Cooper D, so I can sneer at heavy polluting (in CO2 terms) cars like the Civic IMA...

I'm no treehugger, but I couldn't resist the tax incentives. And it's a real giggle to drive in town!

Longer term, I'm feeling an M1 in my future, once the prices drop back down to ?50k / $100k for the best ones. Too many computers in today's cars, I'm yearning for a more analogue experience.

I've been pondering over this for a while now. Currently have a 1 year old E60 (530d SE), and an E70 X5 which we got a few weeks ago. They're both great - but it's our second E60 and when it's time to change it for another 4 door 5 seater saloon/sedan, I really don't think I want a 3rd E60. The F10 will be too far away, as I'll be changing it in around 12 months time. I really have been at a loss as to what to get, but now I've stumbled across the new Jaguar XF. I can't wait to see the final production car in a few months time. I expect there are quite a lot of Jaguar haters on here - but I owned an XJ8 a few years ago (just before the new model came out), and it was the best car I've ever owned. The E60 is great, but the Jag was just ... greater

Ok well, ok, I lied. As you probably know, 3rd E60 is on order and due in about 4 weeks. So apart from lying about which car I was going to get (Jaguar??) and when I would get it (12 months??), the above post was pretty accurate!
