Have you tested F10 with wheels of that size? No offence but 20 inch 245/285 combination sounds overkill to me, on our roads with deep tracks and potholes.
I'm waiting for the 520 D to arrive in Finland and then take a test drive, hopefully with basic tires and without adaptive drive etc. extras - to find out how it performs compared to E60. I wasn't impressed with the 530 D (with adaptive drive, active steering, etc.).
Hope you get what you like!

Dear bjork,
I?m now driving a E60 with 19? 245/35 and 275/30 non RF Dunlop?s.
They are much softer than my 17? RF winters.
No RF's for me anymore.
You'll be waiting for a new 520d to next year.
Hey flyingpuck
I?m not looking forward to be fu**ing 50 years old.
But the time flies, so the car will be here in no time.
Did even consider a personalized plate like MY-50, RJ-50 or BMW-50,
but I feel like a 35 YO so forget it.

No OEM nav for 5k ??s thanks. I have the Navigon nav in the glove box,
if and when needed.
