I think the thing to remember about this car and almost anything in life really, is that it's all relative. OK, so say you drove the F10 and didn't really like it, you still need to buy a car today, and can't wait an eternity for the perfect car to be made. What do you buy?
I have issues with FWD cars, so all of those are out, which effectively leaves you with a small pool of choices. What does 60k buy you in terms of RWD/AWD luxury, performance midsize sedan?
Mercedes E 350 - Weak engine, odd styling, 60k and no leather?
Audi A6 - New model on the horizon. Probably my second choice.
Acura RL - Acura needs to fire everyone on their exterior design teams. You make cars, not Intergallatic space crusiers.
Jaguar XF - Hmm, bankrupt more times then Larry King has ex-wives, sold to Ford, sold to Tata.
Infiniti M - I like the way these look, maybe my 3rd choice
Lexus GS - Surprised at all the quality issues people have mentioned on these. Way too soft for my taste.
When I look at the 535i in relation to these other cars, the decision was pretty easy. The car is not perfect by any means, but IMO it's the best combination of luxury/performance/style/efficiency/utility.
