Dreadful

This says, the only way to get a good ride/handling combination is with three optional extras which add cost, weight, complexity and lack of feel. It also implies the basic cars are not good to drive as supported by Autocar. One up to the Jag XF seems to be the consensus here? Sad day for BMW!

I will wait for the M-Sport and hope this is more driver orientated without the chassis extras, however looking at the 7 M-Sport this is not the case! I can also "smell" turbo versions of the 528/523 on the way, probably called 525 and 530!

I believe there is good car under the F10 optional-chassis complexity when tuned correctly. Best to wait and not get dragged into BMW's silly rushed launch and marketing nonsense. If all else fails, I will wait to see what F30 is like or buy an XF.
