Sorry guys, maybe it will grow on me in time but the style looks to much like every other Mid sized sedan. And it's handling reflects they are going more after the 7 series cruiser than sports sedan. Car pushes terrible in the corners when driven with any excitment.

Does your experience come from driving a loaner for a couple of days? F10 is larger but more complex car than e60. It takes some time to get used to it. You need to set it up properly (sport, sport+) if you push the car in the corners. As for styling F10 M-Sport is very distinctive car, in my opinion.

Geobmw, I think you are correct you need to get Dynamic Handling also since the car is bigger and heavy you may need the power of the turbo V8. I am sure that the car has more power than the older non turbo V8 and it seems that all the fans had the E60 V8 in the past.
I have not driven the F 535 but would be interested to test the 535 and 550 with Dynamic Handling.
I do like the looks of the new car and the smother ride on city streets.
