...and I must say, I like it. No, I love it. Yes, I admit it - I was wrong, I actually saw several in person over this weekend (NYC area deliveries must have finally started on a major scale), and I love it. Especially loved the Alpine White 550i Sport with the OEM "trident" wheels.
Prior to this weekend, I only saw the F10 in person twice, so BMW NA must have really started to deliver to NYC area customers in the past week or two. Which begs a question: WHERE THE EF ARE ALL THE "LOOK AT MY NEW F10" THREADS FROM NYC MEMBERS?!?!

We have two in my neighborhood. My neighbor has a sophisto-grey 535 with oyster leather. I haven't seen any others but I don't live in a dwnsely populated area.

I find the rear on the E60 to be hideous and japanese looking. Too much incoherent design elements on that car which makes it hard to get over. The F10 is very clean, sharp, sporty, and handsome looking. Shame that the old E60 was not.

My Ride: Alpine White 2006 530Xi (SLD)
BTW I sat in the F10 about an hour ago at the local dealership - TOTALLY UNIMPRESSED! Completely generic-feeling interior, much like the exterior. This was a fully decked out 550 too, but alas, I just can't justify falling in love with it. I think if I HAD to get a new BMW right now, it would most likely NOT be an F10... so I'm going back and forth on it, which, I guess, is a good thing for their marketing, but it really didn't touch me same way like my E60 does. After sitting in it, I came back into my 2006 530Xi and I was loving my interior WAY more... go figure! Just when I thought I was warming up to the F10... in this class, I'm liking the E class Benz much more right now. Even the quality of the interior and the design - inside and out I never thought I'd be saying this. Never. Not even about F10.
