My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
Black is the best color I've seen for the F10. Can't wait to get one in my driveway.

What can I say, day by day this car certainly grows on you. It has a very sporty appeal in the darker colors while maintainig a classic look in lighter colors. BMW bridged styling gaps very nicely in this car and should attract alot of buyers

Yes the grill's look is a weak point, aesthetically, of the design. My understanding is that BMW is making that front to comply with european pedestrian impact standards.
F01 is a nice looking ride no doubt.
With 40 more bhp and 90 more lbs-ft of torque, your F10 550 will probably make your E60 550 feel so by comparison -- especially off the line. I think that, if I get the F10 550, it will be difficult not to get an ECU reflash with an increase in turbo boost. Even a mild tune should increase power to over 500 bhp.

My Ride: It's an E60 545I 6 speed.
Meh... Anybody who doesn't follow BMW's will think this is a 3 series. Looks like a 3 series to me! Plus, the kidney grilles are
preposterous. But, like the e60, I'm sure it will grow on me in time, and I will become infatuated with it.

I don't like the new look of the front with that grill, which is on all BMW's now.
But that car surely is sweet.
I'm still thinking about getting the F01 though...
