I don't know. Are they really that far in the styling department? You judge:

Dynamically, the F10 is definitely Buicky though. I test drove two F10's recently - a 535 Xdrive without the ARS and a 550 M Sport Xdrive with the ARS - these are not driver's cars anymore. There's no edginess, no excitement or communication. I wouldn't go as far as to call it a Lexus-like experience, but it's definitely a Lexus-like ride. There are plenty of good points to it, but the key ingredient I am looking for in a car is now missing from the F10 5 series.

Dear Sirs,
Please correct the information/f10/engines/ part about the 520d engine.
It has a 135 kW and 380 Nm engine since it's introduction 5/10. Thank you.

V, even though you may have only been joking, I must say that, so far, I have seen nobody under low to mid 60's driving the new 5ers (not that there's anything wrong with that, and besides, I'm on my journey to the 60's myself, although not for another eight years).
In addition, I still mistake the F10 for a Buick, at least from far. This car has not done anything that makes me want to get one. I love my E60, but although the E60 is more luxurious, I still get more sheer pleasure driving my 3 series. I may not be young in age, but I guess I'm still young at heart and the F10 does nothing for my young heart, so far.
Although similar in looks, the F30 is probably in my future (more likely than the F10), just because it's smaller and more agile, although I am told that the newest 3 series has grown to the size of the E34. I hope they stop growing them, or down to the 1 series I go....
Tomorrow, we're expecting temps in the mid 50's in Massachusetts and I might just take my E93 topless.

My Ride: 2005 525i - mo mods...just got it
1. Wish 520 was available in US, why is it not available anyways? People would buy it, or am I completely wrong?
2. I am 32, and have been driving BMW last 5 years. Thinking to buy a preowned 10-15K (not to lease, not to finance) 2011 F10 535 with M package now. never financed or leased a vehicle in my life.
