My Ride: My ex-ride: EU '08 LCI 520dA. Space Grey, Sport Seats in Black Leather/Fabric Anthracite, Sport Steering Wheel, A/C with Extended Features, Hi-Fi Speakers, Cup Holders, Cruise with Braking function, Folding Rear Seats, Xenons, Park Distance Control.
So finally I have my F10 at home.
Drove some 430 km's to get it this morning and of course the same "milage" home.
Could have easily driven 430 km's more with the F10, thanks to the really comfy
standard front seats and the more flexible steering wheel column (compared to the E60).
The car has more power, the steering is more direct, it has a much more comfortable ride,
it's quieter and most of all it looks both from the inside and outside much more classy
than my "old" '08 E60 520dA.
Trust me, this the car was noticed today over here!
The Hi-Fi Pros are fantastic, especially with the much quieter inside.
Even with the wide tires no tramlining was noticed (thanks to the really
fine Dunlop SP Sport Maxx non-RF tires, of course.
Here's the pics from today.
But I must say the car looks much better in real life.
I (or we) just need to find the right angles to shoot it from.

Congrats!
Your car already made it onto the 5POST Black thread - http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthre...=335121&page=2
Glad to hear about the steering being better than E60. It seems to be the one thing a lot of articles have complained about.
