New guy 535 xi Msport
Hi all, I just bought a gently used 2013 535 xi M sport loaded with premium, cold weather, luxury seating, and technology pkgs. also has DHP, soft close doors, driver assist, HUD, rear sunshades, HK stereo. What a great ride! I don't feel the need to post pics- we all know what they look like.
My last car was a MB E350. A great car, but nowhere near as fun to drive as this one. I've had several BMW's before the MB. Happy to be back in a BMW. Cheers and a happy safe holiday season to all |

I just got a new 2013 M Sport (xi) and the weight of the steering while making small corrections driving in a straight line is killing my forearms. How about you??

No such issues for me. I find that the centre console and the arm rest on the door are perfectly positioned to rest my arms. So comfortable I could almost fall asleep... |

Maybe something is wrong with my car. The steering wheel doesn't return to centre after a turn (the 2014 I drove with 300 miles on it did the same) and I find the steering doesn't have enough boost, such that driving is not that comfortable going down a straight road.

I'm driving an ActiveHybrid 5 - probably similar in weight to a 535x... |

My last BMW was an E90 335. What I notice most is the level of luxury and ride comfort in the 5 vs 3. It is a surprising upgrade. The only other 5 series I owned was an E39 M5. It was a fantastic car (and I miss it) but nowhere near as refined as the F10. |

Seriously though, I'm going to take a leap of faith here and say that we all love pics of cars, especially F10's. I for one vote that you get the pics in this post and put us out of our misery... |
