Pete, you really need to get over your F10 insecurities. 
I'm not new to the forum and drove the F10 550i before it was released for sale. I agree with Car and Drive's review of the F10. It lacks the traditional BMW spirit and soul that substantiated the "The Ultimate Driving Machine" label and praises that were bestowed on the e39 and e60. Does that mean the F10 is not a great car? Absolutely not. Is it different from what most BMW enthusiasts expect from a 5er? Probably so.

Probably so.I consider myself BMW enthusiast and have no regrets switching from e60 (2008 550i M-Sport) to F10 (2011 550ix M-Sport). F10 feels differently, but by no means it feels less sporty than e60. It is my own opinion, of course.

Which is what everyone is going to post - their own opinions. This will never end. Pure entertainment value and that's it.
