I did not know that F10 won so many awards worldwide.

There is no doubt in my mind that when it's all said and done, the F10 line is going to be another smashing success for BMW.

The haters and detractors will deny that, but just like they were wrong before when the E60 came out, they will be wrong again with the F10.

This is so tru. The best car I ever owned.

Even if you guys don't get this, the Nordic winter car test victory is a very big one:

I had my own "Nordic winter car test" Monday evening right here in Pittsburgh. I was driving up hills in snow deeper than my front spoiler, passing SUVs and other FWD cars that were going nowhere (with their all-season POS tires...)

BTW, we are still waiting for your review. I didn't give you a free pass. I just wonder if you still remember the e60.

This winter seems to have been as bad over there as here. But spring is coming soon...

Your "F010-10-09-522 (ISTA version 2.39.4)" is interesting. I still have the factory
set up, but after the 2,000 km installation drive I don't have any issues.
Some Finnish F10/11 owners say the extended AC is "whistling" and some have had problems with the "Low Battery" notes now when it's been below 30C at nigth for a month.
