F10 Discussion Anything and everything to do with the F10 5 Series. The F10 made it's debut in 2010 as a MY2011.

Anyone else bothered with the F10's front end?

The kidney grills on the F10 are great.

Not too high as on the F01 and the F07,
but a perfect 10

I love the look of the new F10. Its very sharp and clean looking and has a more upright front end then the sissy looking E60 with the dame headlights and Japanese looking rear.

Being a current 3 series owner, I think that the car looks very nice overall. My only problem is with the hood design and lack of better wheel choices.

In my opinion, it looks much better than the kit-less E60 did when it was first released. Hopefully the F10 kit will work the miracle that the E60 kit did for the outgoing model.

I like the F10. It can look good from some angles. I do wish for better looking wheels. The 535i sport wheels are much nicer than the 550i sport wheels.

The F10 on the other hand, I think it's rugged in a aggressive way...or the other way around, aggressive in a rugged way.

I saw a F10 downtown yesterday and I kept thinking - Hey, it looks very powerful, almost intimidating, coming right at me. B-i-g "kidneys" with those cold white/bright coronas and white "eyebrows".

you have been F10ed like me, I am downloading every HD videos online and watching them in my 200" HD projector screen and the catalog too ...at this point I am biased and hard for me to look at the flaws of this car... she is surely flawed but i am just simply in love....

It does look good on some angles, especially the pic you attached.

I have said it before and I'll say it again: The more I see the F10 the more it looks like a more natural progression from the E39 than the E60 was. I love the E60 design (obviously), but it was a digression from traditional BMW style, and that was a good thing at the time. Still the more I see the F10 the more I like it, if the M-Sport version looks really good I will definitely be SOLD!!!!
