Good find.
Helps me gauge the F10 better..... Still not sure about it though as I feel my E60 looks better... Does that sound strange?
I guess it's cuz the F10 is not making me feel any goosebumps and neither am I searching online to see what wheels
would go great with it... This is something that any car buyer does, right?

Mike,
I'm with you man. This car does absolutely nothing for me as a whole. I like the hood, and the rear with dual exhaust. That's about it. When the E60 first came out.. I like everything except the rear end of the car. This is the complete opposite. I'm sure it will be a great car. I'm sure once people upgrade the wheels and put M-Tech kits on it will transform the car. I guess. I still like my E60 better.

The funny thing is that while the F10 is definitely looks new, the e60 still doesn't look dated to me. As I was flipping through the F10 shots, I came across this one of the e60 and those familiar headlights still look awesome!

I think that must have been an early prototype. The rest ofthe car in that pic looks pretty rough and the next few pictures include mock-ups of the doors, etc... I'm glad they didn't go with that steering wheel design though, it is very ugly!

I think it looks nice. A "fixed" 3 series sedan so to speak. All of the ugly bits prettied up.
I'm sure it will be a fantastic car since it has so much 7 series in there. The larger dimensions aren't something I need, but I'm sure a lot of buyers will like the utility of a larger vehicle.
I know the dynamics, quality, and technology of this car will be second to none in its class. I'm really looking forward to reading some reviews once the car is released.

The more i look, the more i love the F10.
Although i got to agreed with Mike,
F10 looks promising, but our E60 still looks stunning in many ways

looks like all the germans are going with a basic one-size-fits all design. the MB e-class looks like a big c-class. the new audi A8 looks like a big A4, and the f10 looks like a smaller 7 series.
im not complaing, i dont think its an ugly car, but i wish bmw kept putting out cutting edge designs like 5 and 7 were...and which were copied by everyone.

My Ride: 1985 325e (sold it in 1996) // 2001 Z3 2.5 / White / Blk Lthr / 5-spd (wife's) // 04 530i / Metallic Blk / Beige Lthr / 6-spd / Logic7 / 19" 166 Michelin Pilot Sp
I wonder if that door on the bottom left of the dash is storage or if it's a fusebox (or something else). If storage, seems like a neat idea and great use of space...
Not sure I like the square tailpipes--looks too much like a Lexus or general Japanese-look--I like round or oval better I think.
Damn that i-Drive screen is huge and beautiful!

That steering wheel is terrible! It reminds me of the old E30 3-Series steering wheel. That was a great car, but the design is dated now when compared to the other wheels available out there. I assume that is a sport package wheel?
