This may well be the most idiotic comment I have read on these boards in a long long time. Clearly people who dont like the f10 are the poeple who dont own one. Why would someone own one who hates it? And equally true someone who bought and F10 obviosly likes them or they would not have bought one.
Your point makes no sense-This is not 8 years down the road-this is months after the F10 came out so its not like we are all a bunch of people stuck in e60 world and cant afford an f10 so are bashing it. Many just bought an e60 with a price tag as much or more than the f10, i have had mine 3 years and its nothing about affording an f10-its the fact those who liked the e60 styling a lot-probably will not embrace the f10 because it has zero similarities in aggressiveness or uniqueness.
Its not rocket science here-those that have one like them, thos that dont-probably dont have one for a reason-they dont like them! crazy!

I have some reservations about the f10 but fully expect to own one sometime down the line during this model run.

Overall, I'm sad about the direction BMW is heading. Their model lineup is getting more conservative across the board. Cars are becoming more luxurious and less sporty and despite loving the M series, every new model that comes out is becoming less of a driver's car and more of a "just the fastest and top of the line" car.
Still, I would love to own an E60 M5 or E92 M3 but from the E30 > E36 > E46 > E90/92 M3s, it's tough to argue against the fact that these are getting less driver/track oriented and more "for the masses" so to speak. I guess all cars are heading in-line with technological advances and to the goal where cars drive themselves so it seems this process is inevitable unless you pawn out $$$$$ to get an exotic.

I don't know much about the F10, and didn't care much but I can surely said that, bluetooth, Idrive and HUD are some of the technology improvements from E39 t E60.
Body style from Joji Nagashima's more conservative looks to Chris Bangle's futuristic styling, that's another big jump.
I really can't figure out what significant improvement have the F10 done?

Petes550i, I totally agree with you about the suspension, chassis, since it's sitting on a different platform. Seeing you have the 550i with the dynamic handling, you must notice the different. But I think other than that, Night vision, active cruise and other electronic gadgets were available options for the E60, nothing new been presented to the F10, and that just killed it for me

Well how "revolutionary" were you expecting the F10 to be? Did you expect something like the Batmobile and have machine guns coming out the sides?
Seriously, though, people are forgetting that the 5 series is just the middle model in the entire lineup. It's not the flagship so it's not going to have something exotic that's going to upstage the 7 series or even the 6 series. There's more than enough gadgets right now...maybe even too much for most people...and it's really getting expensive. To me, the F10 is the perfect car for those that want most of the goodies and amenities of the 7 series, with better performance in a smaller package and a smaller price tag.
