Geobmw,
I think your comments and advice with regard to DHP is helpful.
Given the size of the car I think that cameras or park distance might be worth getting. I have park distance on my E61 and really like it.
With regard to my Town Car comment it was Pete that had to debate it and not understand the analogy.
As far as other discussions I was wondering what kind of mpg are you getting with the 550 and does anyone own the F535?

My father had a '75 Chrysler New Yorker with the 440. Loved the WHOMP when the 4 barrels kicked in. Not quick like a muscle car but it would move quite well compared to other cars at that time.

Geez, you guys are no fun.

No, I don't "own" this board but you detractors/haters certainly seem to with all the flame-baited threads and posts that have appeared around here lately.
Just as you think you have the right to post negative stuff about the car here, I have just as much right to defend it....this IS a F10 forum after all.
What I don't understand is why guys like you and Diamond keep wanting to post stuff about the car if you don't care for it. Just say you don't like it and move on.....coming back time and again to post shit is going to do nothing but make you look like fools and Trolls. Why can't you just enjoy your E60 and leave it at that? Why the need to come here and mock the F10 and its owners?
Go out and buy yourself a F10.......you know you want to.

The MPG is interesting I get about 22 mpg avg with my E61 535 but that is with mostly highway. I have gotten better mpg on the highway with the 535 than a 328 or a 528. It seems that the 8 can yield good highway mpg?
My old 4.4 X5 got fair highway millage but was really bad around town.
I am sure that the turbo 8 can eat more gas if you press hard around town but that can be fun and you don't have to. It seems that almost no one has a F 535 is that because of a production delay or other reason?

The 528 loaner had auto park feature and it was interesting.
It worked well but not sure of the purpose?
Does it make it easier to drive the car or does it yield fuel savings since the car is not in drive and therefore you need less gas to idle.
