Michael, I think I have a win win deal for you. Get me the F10 550 and I'll buy a set of fly DPEs from you for it that you can put on.

I also checked out the F10 at my local BMW dealer's during a routine checkup/maintenance on my E60... One thing that bothered me was the fact that I had to try 5 times before I got the front hood to shut correctly. I tried 4 times (at my usual strength when closing my E60 hood) and it wouldn't close correctly. The final 5th time, I had to slam it.... which the salesperson said was the way it works for the F10........ hmmm...?

Black 550 is my preferred look for this F10. I don't really like any other versions because they show some of the unattractive lines of the car.

the 550 was equipped with 311's...they look similar to 128's, the fact that they are chrome just kills the look, they'd look better in brushed alum IMO...

sorry no pics, I was on the phone and could not take a pic...I know, fail
Take it for a quick drive, Gene! Lemme know what you think

Eh..... . The new 7, and 5, and current 3 look all alike... Tomorrow afternoon I am going to go check out a F10 that's at the local dealer. But to be honest with you guys I really don't like it.

Not feeling it yet... maybe the sport will be the turning point for me.

Although to be fair I did not like th e60 when it first arrived and now is by far one of my favourite cars!

I'll get a F10 550 or F10 M5 when my lease runs out in March 2012. I really want the M5 but the wife and I will be upgrading to a 2bedroom in Manhattan and there may go my extra $$$ for a M5. But we'll see.
Get the M5 bro lol
