I must admit though, I'm definitely a fan. Much more so than I was when I had my E39 and the E60 debuted.
about time

I absolutely think the same thing. To me the front especially needs some "beefing up" compared to the rest of the body. Its almost like the front bumper doesn't come down enough or have enough shape to the lower part of it (it's just a straight line across like the 7 series).

nope, your eyes are good...looks like Memory 1, Memory 2, and seat heater buttons are on the door panel

that's what the OP of the 535i thread stated...

"U.S. premiere of the 2011 535i F10, in space gray."

A couple a other things that were really nice are the front and rear perforated leather seats, the new navigation screen's display, integrated rear entertainment system plus the trunk seemed to have a little more room than the E60...overall the interior looked really nice and sophisticated. As for the exterior, the M-Tech/Aero kit plus a descent set of wheels should do the trick.

I love the high gloss black shadowline on it. Looks way better than matte black.

Is it just me or anyone else think the hood of the new F10 is fugged up?

It looks like as if a surf board fell and dented the whole hood. I totally prefer the cleaner look of the E60, not too many lines.
