My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny. 2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter. Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.

At least you kept it in the BMW family. I honestly mistook the F10 for a Buick. So far, I'm not feeling this car. It looks like they were targeting 60+ yr. olds. I hope it grows on me.
