My Ride: 2004 545i - Bone stock... help!
Default

I've not driven the new F10 but I've seen plenty of them around Dubai. Bone stock, they do indeed have a very lexus feel to them. I especially dislike the homogenization of the the line into big, not as big, and smaller, but let's face it - that's back to BMW's roots.

I do think there is something for the enthusiast in the F10 but those religiously OEM, of course they'll find something lacking. Those of us who are open to aftermarket modifications will likely find that in a year or two, there are enough options on the market to turn the F10 into a car that really does WOW you. Because let's face it - the car is nice, but it just doesn't have WOW factor.

That Hamann kit in Geneva gave me hope. I'm sure I'll end up in an F10 of some form, either an Alpina if I get my way, or a heavily mod'd F10. And I'm sure I'll love it.

Hahaha it's so not like modding a limo LMAO!

Until they add a mini-bar in the back seats, put a privacy screen up, make the back seat a nicer place to sit than the drivers seat, and add considerably more room, it's no freaking limo.

Thanks for the laugh though, good start to the day .
