...that still won't convince the detractors and the haters....if the F10 wins, they'll say it was rigged or the E60 driver wasn't good....they'll always have something else to criticize.


It's kind of funny actually when I think about it......I never realized I'd find myself now in car that's being criticized by Bangle enthusiasts of all people.

these discussions are pointless as the non owners will continue to find ways to justify there position just as owners will continue to argue their purchase...


I would like to consider myself more of a BMW enthusiast rather than just a "bangle" enthusiast....

Like I've said on another thread, considering the increase in weight, the f10 535i is VERY close to its predecessor's numbers, that's a good thing IMO...


both models are great vehicles in their own right....

I totally agree with you though the E60 535i had some problems as owners reports say.

Boy, if you're this quick to judge a car, then the E60 would have failed back in 2004.

Have you even driven the cars or do you act like a simpleton and just jump to conclusions solely based on you've read?

Don't let the door hit you on the way out....
Yes Buick, just like the story noted if you didnt catch that bit


And, my son , when you are around for over 6 years on this board, we'll see who is the troll and who isnt, all you seem is a troll for BMW 5 series manufacturing, perhaps a board member for all i know!

have i driven the cars you ask??? i've driven them all, and owned the best of bmw over the past 20 years, so thank you very much, i know quite well what Im speaking of and what a sports coupe or sports saloon from BMW is supposed to be, and the F10 5 series aint it. If you closed your eyes and put a 7 on the trunk, you would believe that was what you are driving, so as stated by just about everyone on the board except you and every story on the car in any mag or show, BMW has missed the mark BIG TIME when its goal was supposed to be to create the next 5 series, the Sportsaloon market leader, not the cushy-luxury with minimal sportiness sedan/boat that the F10 is today. Hell, i think my e23 was smaller and lighter, and a hell of alot more fun to drive for sure and this bore of a boatload.

Im glad to speak on the merits and debate intelligently with anyone of the like mind, but your attempted name calling and lack of objectivity only exposes your own self doubt which says it all.nuff said
