TGII, thanks for the responses.
sdg1871, yes, I am keen on getting the F10 with the M-Sport suspension but am having second thoughts in view of the fact that initial test reports in the UK of the F10 with the standard suspension on 18" wheels have found the ride to be somewhat harsh and "crashy" over badly surfaced roads. Oddly, despite that, some have found the standard suspension to be somewhat soft (and floaty) with noticeable body roll. Not sure if the M-Sport suspension with 17" wheels would be the optimum compromise between handling and ride comfort.

Dear BRAD
They key is not to be in the ashtray, but within the cup holders.

Yes the fob is on the F10 pretty big now.
It may look nice in the summer in the jeans front pocket.
Waiting for your update!
To sdg1871
My days of lowered M suspensions are over now.
I want my girlfriends teeth, tits etc. stay where they belong.
Congrats Paavju
I will probable put in my order tomorrow!
I really do hope I will get mine also late July, for my 50th birthday.

(a) how comfortable is it when compared to the F10/adaptive suspension/"Sport" mode - is it less or more comfortable?
>>>> I asked this from Munich - they told that it's between normal and sport mode. The biggest difference is that it's missing the active anti roll system
(b) would you say that it is between the "Sport" and "Normal" mode of the F10/adaptive suspension in terms of comfort, that is, harder than the "Normal" mode but softer than the "Sport" mode?

Hi TGll, when you mentioned that the M Sport suspension is between normal and sport mode, are you referring to between normal and sport mode of a f10 with variable damping control/VDC/dynamic damping control?
And when you say that the difference is the missing active anti-roll system, meaning the M sport suspension does not have the active anti-roll bars as one cannot have M sport suspension with the active anti-roll system (and also VDC) as they are not compatible?
I'm checking on the suspensions to confirm my option for my f10. Thanks.

My Ride: New ride from 14th May�07: 525iA LCI, Sport Suspension, Deep Sea Blue, Leather Dakota Natural Brown, Hi-Gloss Black trim, Star Spoke 124 18", Comfort Seats with memory,
M -steering wheel, Glass Roof, Navi Professional, ProLogic7, USB-connection, Bi-Xenon, Extended Air Condition, Auto dimming mirrors, Electric Folding mirrors, Bluetooth for Cell Phone Sony Ericsson K750i, Electric rear window shade, Ligth package, Speed control with brake function, Cup Holders, Automatic head light control, PDC, Shadow line
Thanks for all compliments,
I really like the F10 535iA with M-Sport suspension! Firm and comfortable at the same time. One more reason to appreciate the new F10: the paint finish is of much better quality than the E60 had.
400 Nm from 1200 rpm is also something that makes driving relaxing. Today one customer asked me whether the car is hybrid because he was not familiar with the BMW inline6 turbinlike sound...He is not a car fanatic like me
Best regards,
Jukka

My Ride: 2004 545i TITANIUM GREY II on Black Dakota Lthr, Comfort Seats, Sports PKG, Premium PKG, Active/Dynamic Drive, NAV, Winter Package.
Congrats! It looks very nice, I love Black. I think the first mod on the F10 should be the wheels!!!!!
Hello,
Many of you requested pictures - here come the first ones. I detailed the car today with Swissvax Cleaner Fluid and Swissvax Concorso Premium Wax.
The paintwork finishing is much better than in my previous E60. The new type of anthrasite headliner is not exactly my thing - it is semi glossy and I liked the previous type used in E60 more. May be I get used to it though.
My first impression is that the car is much more comfortable also with the M-Sport suspension than the E60 - and still dynamic and sporty - I really like the way it drives.
All electronic devices are far better and nicer than the E60 had, they have really done a good job with the usability of all features.
Happy regards from Finland

My Ride: 2008 550I LOADED, all options except HUD and NV
Congrats on the new car, it is truly beautiful (especially after her first detail) 
I guess you need to change your screen name now to reflect the new color choice?

My Ride: F11 520d
Congrats for new car Jukka! I guess I saw your e60 listed at our local dealer. Quite high price tag, but hell lot of extras also. 
If you decide to trade F10 within two years, It would be perfect choice for me.
Turbo is all I have ever missed to my current ride
