Hi,
My 535iA was SW-updated on last Monday - now the 8-speed autotranny and engine work together much better. The car also received new shoes, some pics attached!

My Ride: My ex-ride: EU '08 LCI 520dA. Space Grey, Sport Seats in Black Leather/Fabric Anthracite, Sport Steering Wheel, A/C with Extended Features, Hi-Fi Speakers, Cup Holders, Cruise with Braking function, Folding Rear Seats, Xenons, Park Distance Control.
Congrats TGII 
Those 19" wheels looks much better than your ex 18" (winter wheels now I quess).
I do need the autotranny SW-update also - and badly.
Same problem as you had. The engine revs too low in sub city traffic.

Hi TGII, what's involved/improved with the software update? There's a bit of throttle lag with mine when in Normal mode - is this what the SW update is meant to rectify? Thanks.

Looks fabulous, congrats TGII.
How would you describe the feeling with the integral active steering: better agility ? loss of consistent road feedback, or natural feeling ?

thanks, I like the F10 more and more every day!
The integral active steering is perfect, the car is more agile, but you forget the steering until you drive a car with normal steering. The feeling is very natural, especially compared to E60 AS. Our E92 320i Coupe feels less agile in terms of steering. Of course it's more agile while smaller and being not as heavy as the F10.
BTW, Jaguar XF weighs 100 ks more than the F10...

TGII

Greetings All
I'm new to this forum and I'm from Singapore. I'll be getting my F10 523i in 2 weeks time and had been scanning the forum on whether I should upgrade my wheels to 19". Currently I'm driving the E60 on 18" and find it rather comfortable.
Would really appreciate all your kind advice.
Cheers / Vic
