Fellows,

my F10 is now parked in my box. First impressions driving from London to Brussels: no additional comments, just one word FANTASTIC! Before picking it up I was scared about the mentioned steering problems. Mine is fine, more or less what I could expect from this kind car, just little adjustments while driving due to the irregularities of road surface. IMO only lab's conditions (perfect tyres pressure, perfect weight balance, perfect road surface and level, etc.) could confirm or not the steering issues reported in the forum. I think this car is one generation beyond the other comparable luxury cars (E, A6, XF).
Cheers, Amleto

Congrats!
Although to be honest I'm not too hot about those interiors, sort of gives the feeling of sitting in front of a refrigerator or some other kitchen appliance for that matter

delvek · 01-29-2011, 01:52 PM

Congratulations, I hope you enjoy your new BMW!

finbrad · 01-29-2011, 02:19 PM

the 328s really are a worthwhile upgrade. Some of the wheels offered as options aon the configurator are way off the scale IMHO in terms of cost but they got it just right with the 328s I think.

ipso_facto · 01-29-2011, 02:28 PM

Congrats and enjoy. Wheels look nice.

BTW "parked in my box" has a completely different meaning in the UK !!

JOHNBMWM5 · 01-29-2011, 05:24 PM

Congrats on choosing a great car in the best colour IMO, enjoy.

pharding · 01-29-2011, 05:50 PM

Congrats. The color scheme is beautiful.

j3o3t3 · 01-29-2011, 06:46 PM

Know what I mean, say no more, say no more...

Congrats on the car bud. Could you please post more pics of your Aluminum trim interior?!

Ck101 · 01-30-2011, 12:45 PM

I love the metal on the dash. I've ordered it on my MSport. Had it on a 3 series MSport and got loads of good comments regarding it.

I now have Bamboo on my x5 and have never had a compliment.

cidair · 01-31-2011, 12:24 PM

Fantastic color combo, congrats!

Interiour looks really great! I was considering the same, but went for black/aluminum instead.

delvek · 01-31-2011, 12:34 PM

Is that color Dark Graphite?

Congrats, nice car. At least with the drive home you get quite a chunk of the running in mileage done
