The only thing preventing me from getting the F10 is the fact that it has leatherette and the lack of options. I can only imagine how hot it's going to be in that car!

What are you talking about? Lack of options?! You can get over $20K worth of options on the car if you wanted. If your budget is limited, then I can understand you'll be restricted to a certain model.

I would get the E60 man. But of course, this is coming from a guy that is not fond of how the F10 looks at all... plus you get all the options with the E60 versus the bare essentials on the F10 AND you save $10k.

Really an easy choice to me.

Dude, settle down and try the decaf. I was referring to his choice between the two cars with specific options in his original post.

Sorry, my mistake....I thought you were talking about F10's in general; I forgot about Sheb's decision between the 523 and E60.

Between those 2 options? I'd take the loaded E60 530 over a stripped down version of the F10. I like the F10 but leatherette would just make me feel like I am driving a taxi or some other fleet car. When given a choice go with getting the most options your budget will allow you to get.

Hey Shebs,

I can't see why you guys love the M. family so much.
Egypth is a fine and vast country, but...(no politics now, what do I know).

The news I see on TV the M-B's and Peogeot's from the 80's seem to be quite popular in the middle East area.

Still a F10 all the way, if not a F10, why buy a new car at all?
Step into the new century (or at least decade)!
