Just saw this review by Clarkson of the F10 535i and he loves it.

review: http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=387459


He usually completely disses on BMWs for entertainment, but I think when he says something so good about a car it really does signal that the car is REALLY good. I think 535i owners are going to be very very happy (including myself!)

I like Clarksons summary and verdict:
Clarkson?s verdict: basically, it?s a very, very good Austin Seven.

"So, if you have the wherewithal, I suggest you buy a 5-series. It?s the absolute best of absolutely everything we know. Unless you want a Jag, of course, because that is as well."

(Cumshaw to Clarkson...?)

"Most bonnets rise in the middle to hint at great power beneath ? for an example of this, see the E-type Jag or David Beckham in those underpants commercials. "

Wasn't too sure on this example at first! Classic Clarkson humour though! Damn good review too!

Good find. Very nice review. Clarkson's always good for a laugh but he does know his cars too.

I just can't wait for the Top Gear BBC program's review of the F10 and F10 M5!
