I tested everything, still - nothing compares to the E60, it was ahead of it's time and still is!!

i am suspicious as to if the F10 can be any better, i think it might look new only...
dont worry about that.
evey new BMW car that they make is always better than the old 1 in design and handing but 1 think I know for a fact is the price will be much more than the old 1, unlike MB which for the 1st time ever is lower for the e class than the old 1

pinguk, the black one of breyton is quite good looking and the price is reasonable. But i also think the advan RS-D in silver color is also good, but it is around $2000 expensive per wheel when compare to breyton.

still in thinking........... !!!
maybe you get advan RS-D and I get breyton GTS R

if one is not significantly better than the other one in your mind, go for the cheaper one.
well for me I would save the $8000 for other mods

the job was done by the car!
he took the left lane up because he thought the saloon car will not go round such a tight bend,
but he was rather shocked when the E60 followed and then pecked at his arse.
he floored it going into the tunnel but was going nowhere...he was well embarassed,
a Mitsubishi gallant VR4 wanted some action but was going wide and couldn't catch up, driver gave the thumbs up for the entertainment.
Ricky,Keith,Et and Will your cars are even faster, should be easy for you to kill those old 996s!
Warning: this road is a dual carraigeway and a bit steep, do not attempt after a meal, you might get dizzy halfway up due to the sharp left and right deep bends.

Dont care about the sell price as long as the car has a good discount and drive it for 4 years and change.
Most car loss about 20% within the 1st year.
For me a 50% drop is OK just like my last 2 BMW cars so I will sell my car when the price drops to about 250k+
My last e60 was about 45% loss over 5 years which is OK.
Also 5 years time I get other free car again.
If I do care about the 2nd hand market then I will get a Honda or Toyota
Not for me, love to drive so only the best handling cars and nothing can compare to our e60 right now
You know, even the indestructable Toyota Camry does near 60% drop in just 3 years time. So you must be super luck to have E60 which resell at better rate?
