F10post has a good roundup thread

Haven't finished reading every single one but this car is getting some pretty rave reviews so far. I'm sure most of the reviews will be positive, it's that good of a car it seems.

I thought I read the F10 535i might be similar to the current e60 535i, but the F10 550 would be higher than the e60 550

I thought I just read a general "F10 will be priced lower than E60" in the R&T or C&D review.
Edmunds:
"When we first saw the 2011 BMW 5 Series, the Munich executives told us that the base price of the 2011 BMW 535i would stay the same as the 2010 BMW 5 Series, which has a base price of $51,250. Well, maybe it was the intoxicating Portuguese sea air, but these same execs have just told us that the decision has been made to price this new and improved 5 Series below the outgoing model. Are we looking at a possible $49,999.99 base price for the 2011 BMW 535i? Wait and see.
Meanwhile, when deliveries of the 2011 BMW 5 Series begin in June 2010, the 2011 BMW 550i will be part of the program. With its revamped, twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 making 402 hp, the price of the 550i will go up just slightly above the current car's $60,600 tag."

From Autoweek:
"Having only driven a fully loaded 355i, I'd like more experience with the rest of the lineup and time with 335i equipped with conventional steering before I could say with any great certainty that BMW has once again raised the bar in the sport sedan game. One thing's for sure--this is a different kind of 5-series"
355i must be faster then m3..
If serious, 5 series reviews look promising.. Hope I can get one sometime in the future
