Hello guys,
Long time no post. Busy with work and other things. My lease is up next week on my 2010 528xi. I went to the dealer today and test drove the 528i XDrive 2012. The car has many nice standard features and it is very beautiful inside. But, for some reason, I did not find it as fun to drive as my current e60 or my formers three e60s and e39. I tried both the comfort and sport mode. I just did not feel the THE BMW feeling! I hope it is because the car is so new and needs to go through the break-in period.
Oh well, I might skip the F10. Still have 1 week to decide.

Hi amigo525,
The new F10 528iA xDrive is a very nice and "green" car. Go for it!

My Ride: 04 525i, 04 Dinan M3
I drove a 528i my buddy had as a loaner car. I like the interior but it didn't feel as fun either to drive, didn't handle nearly as good as mine with coilovers.

Nope just the ride in general & the steering wheel is very thin. I drove the non sport pkg version. The car is very beautiful inside but the ride is not as fun as my old turtle.
