Anyone who likes Top Gear will appreciate some of this video =)
Speaking of Top Gear, anyone know when Top Gear will review the F10?
Or will they only review the M5 when it comes out?

My Ride: 2010 BMW 535i Titanium Silver (F10)
Jeremy Clarkson has already written a review of the new BMW 5 series in 'The Times' a few weeks ago. I highly doubt they will test the normal F10 but I'm pretty sure they're going to test the new M5.

I think the F10 550 looks great in the video. To me with a M Tech kit and a fly set of rims, it will look fantastic. If you liked the look of the E39, it should be easy to like this car given the strong family resemblance.
The massive weight gain, however is another story as that's a crime against sporty, nimble handling which was a staple of the 5 Series that set it apart from most of its competition. All the power in the world can't erase the negative effects that lots of extra weight has on the handling feel.

Nicely done for a dealer produced video.
