Model Year: 2006
the M-Sport pkg makes it a total no-brainer. that damn thing looks beautiful! congrats...
now if u were considering the A7....it would have been a harder choice (esp if they ever offer the 4.2 liter V8 in that thing...)

My Ride: 535D Tourer - Pre LCI
Having being an Audi man for almost ten years..... I have to say that both have their merits - personal choice for engines so far (high capacity Diesels) are the BMW's - Interior wise I think the Audi beats BMW hands down, they aren't afraid to be different and i found that the tech is far more useable/easy to operate - Exterior, hmmm the jury is indeed out, but snap decision would see me in the Audi - they just seem to have the features, DRL's and the cars lines...
personal choice obviously...

My Ride: 07' BMW 550i
Good cars. Congrat.
But...as Clarson would say, I watched show about BMW, and chief designer had claimed that they do shape of car to make sure it shows speed, mean sporty look.
Well unfortunately I don't see on F10 yet, first picture on your post had showed all these differences. E60 front is shaped as speed, but F10 is more GMC Terrain type thing, don't you think?
After so many years I like E60 now to compare F10, but E39 is way better then both these cars.

hahhaah....perhaps you haven't seen the new bmw's going this route....i want to say it was an M3 or 335i - i think 335i red with black interior and red stitching.... definitely had a pop-up navi just like my '06 G35 did.

+1000 man I tell you....first the M54 is the best engine built and the E39 is a tank compared to the E60. I can't vouch for the F10 but I see where BMW is going and I don't like it. their cars have always been under powered compared to the COMPARABLE competition....but nothing drives like them. Nothing. 5 or 6 bimmers (maybe 7 i lost count) and counting.....

I still like the lines on my 08 550i better, the wife didn't care for the Audi A6 after test drive, she stated that the cars feels too "loose", preferred the BMW much more. The 535 is perfect for her, good gas mileage, good comfort and all wheel drive. I did not care for the turbo lag in the 535, hopefully a tune would help.
