drove a F10 550i MSport today...

I am no longer a hater, but likely to be an owner.

test drove a F10 550i MSport today.

my '08 550i sport is a great 5er, but the F10 is a step above.

Yes, heavier by 400lbs, perhaps softer, but what I felt in the seat of my pants while driving this beast in and out of traffic way above speed limit was very compelling.

car is very smooth, solid..more so than my E60 550i. extremely powerful. gets up and goes.

really like'd the much improved interior,electronics, but exterior design I'm still not quite there.

that said, my lease comes due in June. I've always ordered direct from factory, heres what I what im leaning towards...

Msport 550i
Alpine White
Oyster /Black interior
most all options...

feedback appreciated

I got mine in alpine white and oyster interior, I think it looks stunning. Second choice would be DSB.

I just dont see how you can prefer the e60 exterior design, I feel the F10 is def back to its roots. More a natural next step of the e39 which i felt was so wonderfully BMW.

I have to agree. The F10's looks continue to impress me. Most of the the time its when I see one drive by and when I watch it I am like . Then I realize that I drive the same beaut!
