I am assuming so, as Rudy's 545i and 550i was/is AW. I'll be getting AW again as well

It goes beyond that! I think his E39 was white and maybe even his old M3 as well. It is pretty clear what Rudy's color preference is...

Correctamundo! My E30 M3, my two E39s and my two E60s were all Alpine White. As I implied above, as far as I'm concerned, there is no other color...

Maybe I'm wrong, I only have had a F10 530d for one hour.
Agree ipp - the giant leap was from E39 to E60 (which the first owners of the E60 in 2003 felt...) whereas the F10 establish BMW as a luxury car with more refinement compare to the E60 series, which is understandble as some 70% of the car is the same as for the F01.

But my biggest concern for the F10 is the weight; 100 kilos more than an E60 is too much and will be a big set back when Audi presents their A6 next year. But that's a different story...

the f10 has the 2 cameras in the front fenders (like they have in the 7 series) available? thats an awesome option if they do.

taking my car in for a oil change/inspection next week...i hope they have some f10's available for test drives. oh no, the temptation begins!!!!

I was gonna say Rudys write up's are miles long. This is by far a glimpse of whats to come out of Rudys fingertips on such a car..

Not only does it have the two cameras in the front fenders (as Gene pointed out), it also has two more cameras in the mirrors to give you a view of the sides of the car (option is called "top view")...

I doubt I'll need to do such a major write-up this time around...

My car probably won't be in my hands until the fall and by then, there will have been plenty of other members here who'll have had the time to post some feedback. Remember, my last [infamous] review of my 2008 car was more about the SAT (since it was one of the first on the forum) and then it kind of morphed into a review of LCI stuff, etc.

Regardless, I'm sure I'll have plenty to say, it just may not be all in one post!
