My Ride: BMW 530d
Camera is a Nikon D90. Most of these were taken with the AF-S Micro Nikkor 60mm f2.8G ED.
Haha, I need to.... don't really want to spend the $US75K it would cost "upgrade" to a new 530d

). But you know what, I am doing this out of choice. When I get to purchasing another car - most likely not a replacement for the E60, but a second car - I'll probably be looking at F10's competition because of the weight and the styling. IF I will be looking at that class of cars at all - kinda hard to compete with a Boxster or a Cayman when you have 4000+ pounds to move. Unless of course the driving dynamics of the F10 will totally win me over when I finally get my hands on one. As of now though, it seems to me that the F10 went so far upmarket and the E90 is so well below the E60's market, that BMW could've made the F10 a totally new line and kept the E60 - 1. E60's design is still current IMO and 2. it is not in the same class with the F10.
