Default My new foster child

Just picked up a new F10 535 m/Sport Pk. I like it but it's quite different than the E60. The E60 has the JB4 so power wise there is a big difference. The F10 has an electric steering pump which also feels different.

What do you feel it's faster and agile then 08 535. Write some review.

Fantastic. Love that interior, although that doesn't look like the sport seat? Doesn't look like there are extendable thigh bolsters? Do you have the extended instrument panel?

Let me say I really like the car a lot and to say everything I like about it would be a very long list. So, I will mention a few things that I don't care for or perhaps will take a little time to get used to. The first thing I noticed is the steering. It feels a bit too easy. More like a feeling if you were to get into a car with a heavy V8 and then drive the same car with a 6 or 4 in it. I hear this is the new electric steering pump. Instruments are different, all digital. Setup differently as well. This will take a little time to get to know. The memory buttons for the seat, which initially I couldn't find are located on the door panel and just a bit difficult to get to while you are driving. Key fob is bigger and shaped a little differently. Not sure why and seems to do the same as the old. I don't need a bigger FOB to go into my pocket... Overall I like the new look, lower, sleeker and a little longer.
