Same as the other reviews. An even nicer and still very capable car but at a loss of some of the enthusiast feel. On my first drive of an E60 I felt the same way compared to the E39. The '08 550i M Sport LCI seemed to solve that. I hope that BMW can do the same with the F10.

Thanks for sharing Pete.

The cultural differances between US and EU are so obvious.
