Please order the Adaptive Drive option as well (previously aka Dynamic Drive), the difference is day & night.
I will get the DD when I get much older and can not be bothered to mod the car

My Ride: carbonized MB coupe
tempted but no, top of my list is still the F10, crap mirrors though.
DD - haven't looked into that, because the E60 handles so well anyway, if it improves on that
then its a must.
no stocks of all the nice cars, no Q5 till May, no GT till April, no F10 till May/June, no X5 till Mar,no X1
nothing much about! maybe the c300, E coupe, E class, but thats why they are in stock......
my car is in BMW changing the worn bushes and other wear&tear stuff, should be a good deal for someone wanting a no expenses spared, super fastidiously maintained E60 to drive for at least 2-3years without problems.

that right if you are not planning to mod the car like kcleung & Small Tomato.

if budget is not a problem, you plan to extend the warranty and sell the car after 3 years, got sick of after market suspension mods, then its a no brainer.

saw on the internet a while back that f10 shares the same chasis as the 7ers and 5gt, so handling should be similiar. cant remember the info was official or just speculation though.
But i read elsewhere says although using the 7er platform, but it is actually few inch shorter

well...actually the active steering,
to be honest, i dont feel much about the DD on my earlier model (I think they have improved in the later model)
But the active steering really does make my car feels smaller and response quicker.

sure man, you're a young guy, a GT is def not for you!!
we are getting into the "touring" and cruising phase of our lives.
the BMW sales place was like a bees hive of people, sexy ladies checking out the X6 and 6 series,
skinhead thuggies checking out the X5 and normal guys like us on the GT, weird place
they must be making millions there, there were so many sales people, they had a "Number"
1 to 50+
back to HK, no stocks of anything good

Bill, Does your car have DD?
I am sure they are excellent to drive, but the 5gt still not grow on me.
