I caught that too...definitely a little shot. Not understanding that though considering how many E60's are on the road. Our body style/design was great for BMW. I can't wait to see the F10 in person on Saturday at the NY Autoshow.


On a side note...I love Kara Dioguardi.

agreed, this is the first time I've actually like how it looks...

perhaps it's the sport pkg, color, and wheels...definitely a nice combo


like it or not the f10 will do well IMO...it's just matter of how long us e60 owners want to fight it...eventually we'll all be in one of these

I agree with that, Gene - just a matter of time before we start migrating over to F10.
Especially when we see the first F10 M5 on the road, a lot of the original non-believers will may be singing a different tune.

I like the F10 already, so when the M-tech kit or M5 comes out

That said, the only thing that worries me is the lukewarm response to the new car's handling from the car mags. I didn't buy my car because I wanted a luxury sedan, I bought it because I wanted a BMW. If the new F10 isn't going to handle like a BMW then I will stick to E60's for a little while longer.

in a recent mag's comparison against the E class, the F10 won handily. The comments to come were that the handling was quite well received, so well in fact that the F10 felt so much lighter and more powerful than the E, even though it may actually weigh more. If there was one thing i wouldnt worry about with the F10, it would be the handling, and im sure the sports pack will not let anyone down....

That was one article, yes, however - the current Roundel quoted several other mags as saying that it didn't FEEL like a BMW. All the electronic aids have dampened the feedback to the driver enough that it no longer has the "connected" feeling BMW's are known for.
