My Ride: Mini Cooper
You feel the F10 is bigger because you're sitting lower; you're more surrounded by the panels and instruments and hence created a tighter visual effect; i.e. you feel smaller for being surround with more stuff. This is the proper way to make the car feel sporty; a low driving position so that you're IN the car instead of being ON it.
There is no way anyone can tell if the F10 is 58mm longer than the outgoing model JUST BY LOOKING . That's a mere 1.2% increase in length from the E60's 4,841mm overall length. (and 0.75% increase in width).
Don't get me wrong, i am a BMW fan. I have a 535i on order. But I stayed away from BMW for so many years since Bangle was around screwing things up. I am glad he's now gone and away.

I used to drive a S2000 and they are very low but that did not feel big at all.
I put my seat higher because it was my 1st time driving it and did not what to hit it.
A normal person can not tell but I can because I am a designer and every cm I can see.
