It wasn't the F10 so much as it was my short list when I had to replace my Lincoln LS (owning an orphan car is a terrible thing!). My requirements were RWD, dual exhaust, NAV, 4-dooors, at least 300hp (the only FMC RWD car is the Mustang; no thanks) and not GM (hate the intrusive OnStar) or Chrysler (too cheap and their future is always in jeopardy). I wasn't sold on Genesis and as Audi looks too much like VW, I was left with Jag, BMW and Mercedes. Honestly, the BMW won out because of the placement of the infotainment/NAV screen. The LSes screen required looking down toward the console so I wanted one more in my line-of-sight. The Jag and Merc's were too low so the BMW won. Body style was a very close second and the F10 BMW wins hands-down. Just about every car on the road has at least one bad viewing angle; not so with the F10 (and most post-Bangle BMW's). I have yet to find a bad angle to view the car.
