Thanks Antti! It is. Fantastic car. But dramatically different than the E60.

Thanks Calton. Yes I like the looks of this one more than my E60 and acceleration with AWD is drama free and astonishingly fast. The driving dynamics are not up to the E60 but this is a great car.

I love the looks of the new F10 with the M Sport Package/Kit. My wife and I went out to dinner tonight and sat near the window where a new 550 xDrive Sport with M Pack and your color and your wheels and tinted windows sat right in front. It also had black OEM exhaust tips. I couldn't stop staring. It looked so HOT! If you do one mod, can you please do black grills? Pretty please! LOL! Hey, at least it's a BMW Performance upgrade now.

Well I did one mod so far: the Dinan Stage 2. I will probably do some lighting mods. VCR must have HID fogs to match the AEs and headlights. And I will install the R Dash LED license plate lamps. I am not sure about black grills. I will have to go look at them. I also would like to do the Dinan springs when they are out for the xDrIve. The interior is as quiet as a tomb so the car needs a modded exhaust but given that I lease mine I probably won't do it.

Amazing car! And even more than the car, I love that you can lease the car with a Dinan Tune! I think I am done buying BMWs from now on and I will just lease them in the future. Even though I love the looks of the e60, I find myself being amazingly jealous everytime I look at the new F10s. Congrats on the car again!

I upgraded the HID's to 6000K on the X5, but I will say this... The new LED Angel Eyes by BMW are close to 8000K, believe it or not (they have almost a purplish hue). I wouldn't do 8000K HID's though.

Thanks Gregg. Yes Victor adores the car, especially the acceleration. It is a beautiful car. But it may not satisfy the enthusiast in you as it is virtually silent inside/more isolated from the road, al
almost no engine noise and little steering feedback. But with the Dinan Stage 2, the accleration is breathtaking and effortless. To me the car drives more like a classic AMG car and less like a BMW.

Thanks. I always lease. Go to an authorized Dinan dealer that is also a BMW dealer and put the tune's cost in the lease. I agree that the F10 M Sport looks better than its E60 equivalent.

Agreeed Calton. I will do 6000k HID fogs from Motorcepts.
