I am beginnig to like my 550 better. At first I really missed the E60 but I'm really beginning yo enjoy and appreciate the F10. More power,better interior and improved electronics offset a somewhat numb feeling.
I had a 745 and, while this car is as comfortable it drives and feels much better.
I too must be getting older!

My Ride: 2008 550I LOADED, all options except HUD and NV
I have yet to drive the F10, but after seeing it in person at the dealer - it looks way better than I expected it to look. Also, as I have said previously, it does look like a more evolutional design from the E39 than the E60 ever did and is modern and pretty sexy looking IMHO. Good luck with your F10 Rudy, hopefully many of us will be joining you soon

you can also tell by the side markers/indicators...with the F01's it's on both the fender and door...with the F10's is just on the fender...

Here's a quick review of the F10 from today's print version of the NYT:

The new M5 will have some 575 hp's, though.
But that's "more than 550".
