Hello,

Went to see the F10 today live in Helsinki, Finland. Like the looks a lot, especially interior, but the front and the bonnet looks "fat". Took a short test drive with 530 DA with active steering, adaptive drive and a lot of other specials. Have to say, it felt like driving a boat (I don't have a boat...) - I like the touch of my 520 DA E60 more, it's more precise and has a in your hands feeling. I'll wait and see when it's possible to test drive a similar version of F10 520 DA.

It sure is a great car, but I'm not looking for a lexus.

Maybe you were using Comfort setting, did you try Sport setting ?

How was the interior noise level, was the car with studded tyres ?

It was a short drive, did try sport and comfort settings, but most of the way it was on normal. It will be interesting to test this car with basic options, first impression was though a bit disappointing. Noise level was low, considering the car was with studded tires (runflats).
