i don't have confidence in the Bozos at Max motaDorks,
i'm not biased against them but stating facts.
Derrick u will end up using a Bazooka on that place,
ZERO service for a HIGH price= molotov cocktail
at least at AK you get a low price for a quick job= Ak47 .
sorry for the reference to weapons, as under stress from watching "24"
5th season.....

on the F10
KC as mentioned the V on the bonnet from the 3 and the ridges from the 7 are carried over,
and looks like that Alpina 7, relieved the rear is ok and not ugly.
sideskirts are crap.

what bugs me is the interior, armrest area looks like 5GT, but why the tiny non-expandable door bins???
you might be able to fit a can of Pepsi in there! the door handles are too far forward, they are useless

i'm not impressed with the interior- again

Glad to hear Dinan finally available in HK, but sad to hear it landed to Max :thumbsdown:

But we shouldnt be sad, as Dinan got nothing for our small engines, they mostly do parts for V8 545 or V10 M5.
The only thing that i know for us was the "hot" air induction and ECU re-programme
ECU re-programme for you and it will be faster than Ferraris

The F10 is growing on me, it looks much better than the 5GT, its kind of mixture of E39 & E60
I might get one when my E60 finishes its job in 3 years time

I see the V on the bonnet
like you say before it like a OX horn
I think it's a safety design for the street people

it is OK, but looks "small" a bit bigger than a 3
it looks a bit "modern", but not "eye catchingly" sporty like our E60.
its the interior, its boring, the armrest area is too far back, nowadays you can't rest your left forearm and hand for fear of pressing the i drive, what a bummer.
why can't they just insert the X6 interior look in the new 5?
its not that they can't make a luxury interior.
Audi can never be compared with BMW for driving pleasure!!!

so many complaints eh?
with prices starting at 650k for the 3.5litre, the x5 looks good value
pound for pound in comparison(+M kit of course)
