My Ride: E60
![Default](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
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...?

man, Just a JB fully loaded f10 550 @ Center BMW...have to say it looks much better in person...
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![Doh](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/doh.gif)

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!
