Re-read my post....I said if you're on the fence, go test-drive. What's so surprising about that?
hey, I hope you love it and its the best car ever. i don't hate them. i think it looks OK, and it will grow on me especially with the aero kit. all I'm sayin is that of course those with it love it or they wouldn't have bought it.

Personally I love the E60 more than the F10, but those LED angel eyes are making me

For most people I believe the designs will grow on you. If someone loves a design from Day 1 it comes out, then thats good and jump on it! That's what happened with me on my Lexus GX470. Loved the design before it even launched so when it did launch I was one of the first on the road with it. Those who didn't like it in the beginning and eventually grew on them, eventually bought a GX470 also.

But we can all agree on something here, as long as it's a BMW, then we're all

I officially like the F10 over the E60, when comparing stock body styles. However, I still like the look of the E60 M5 over the new F10. I'm sure that will change too, when the F10 M5 comes out.

Yep, that about sums it up. Although I do love the E60, still my favorite 5er to date has been the E39, and since the F10 looks more like an evolution from the E39 than the E60 did - I think it looks great, even better in person. The E60 will always be one of BMW's iconic designs, but where it was revolutionary the F10 is evolutionary - still gorgeous, still a 5er
And as C said, when the F10 M5 comes out we will all be over that TT V-8 and (especially this forum) the modding possibilities of it *cough* 700+HP *cough*

What the heck are you doing on a fence? Get off, go to the dealer, and test it out.

Yeah, but it sounds like shit. I drove my friends X5M the other night and missed the sound. He too, had an E60 M5, and said the same thing. It's a bummer.

it still won't sound like the v10, no matter what you do. and yes, i know he did. he's working on bleudyno's -- i'm on xoutpost.

if you heard the supersprint race on the x5m, you'd be disappointed.
