what don't you guys get-its not the numbers and paper scores or even objective data. It "FEELS" like a boat. I am sure its got a great skidpad and 0-60 time but it feels big and bulky and looks that way from in the cabin. Sensation is a lot of what a true driver looks for. A nice exhaust note, great engine sound, how you feel in the cockpit all make the drivin experience. Sheer speed and numbers is meaningless. The e60 felt like a race car compared to this-and I am not talking numbers. So stop quoting stats, lean, roll, acceleration-I agree I am sure its great at that stuff. It looks and feels clunky and I did not have one ounce of pleasure in my driving it. nuff said

I hate to say it but I'm going to agree with Diamond on this one. I did extensive test drives of the F10 before choosing the M3. While the F10 is only an inch or so longer than the E60, the view over the hood really gives a perception of a much bigger car. It has to do with the way the E60 hood sloped down and out of view while the F10 has a much flatter hood, giving the driver the perception of a much longer car...

Maybe they have a forum to discuss how it's so much bigger than the original for you to join?

well if you want to get technical and take "opinions" out of it-every car mag has tested the E60 better in virtually every category other than a quarter mile in a couple mags. So if that is enough "reality" for you-face it the F10 is a flop of a sports saloon. Enjoy feeling 70 every day of your life
