Thanks BMW.
If that were only the problem,

F10 has shitty steering (seemly got worse after software update),
The auto headlights come on in broad daylight - everyday
Auto Start/Stop stalls the car and puts the parking break on half the time
The key won't start the car for 30 seconds if I use the key to open the trunk first
The air ducts in luxury seating package make the driver's seat squeak
The plastic trim below the radio knobs isn't secured and wiggles when I press radio buttons
The media doc for the iPhone stops responding (weekly) and needs to be removed to get working again
The transmission shifts are way too rough in Sport / Normal mode.
I'm sorry for all that. That's a really bad piece you got..

I'm in the midst of making up my mind...

With an LCI you lose the original look of the car. Non M sport, its a looker.

But you gain a lot of running changes like the steering, newer LED headlights. Maybe a little weight savings?

BMW is all about upgrades mid-cycle. But you have to remember the original design of these F series cars are great to start off with. So where can they really go from here?

F07

I dont think BMW is going to make anything resemble the F07.

BMW would serve itself right to do EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE of whatever they did with the looks of the F07. Please, no resemblance to the 5er! It's a shame they even gave it the 5-Series name!

Anyone expect the LCI plug-in hybrid to go on the F07?
