I like the older one too. I was just at the dealer and was comparing them. Even the interior, although it's higher quality, the overal layout of the dashboard looks like what would probably go on a van. If only it curved in like the E39 style.

Thank you for taking the time to write your personal thoughts about the F10 5er. I can tell by your signature, you are a loyal BMW customer and enthusiast. I had a chance to see the F10 535i and 550i in person at our local dealer, and I was very impressed. Congrats on your new order!

Oulixes · 05-25-2010, 07:31 PM

A very good review. Thanks.

CFoote · 05-25-2010, 08:03 PM

I won't miss those Dame Edna headlights on the E60....adios!

Vintage · 05-25-2010, 08:49 PM

thanks for the review - I did not think these were to be launched stateside until June 16 or 19? guess I was wrong

Love the parking job.

rexus300 · 05-25-2010, 10:42 PM

I also test drove the F10 and the handling, ride, look outclasses the old ugly E60.

ZuerstBMW · 05-25-2010, 11:56 PM

This will probably be my next car, once the lease on my E92 is up next year.

Alpin3_F30 · 05-25-2010, 11:59 PM

i miss the old tail lights, the new ones look like the infinity G35 tail lights.

BMWPower06 · 05-26-2010, 12:56 AM

lol is it just more or does the E60 look like the newer of the two cars? At least from the front anyway

E60's front is definitely more "futuristic" than the F10. I say it looks like a girl with nasty eye make-up. I was never fan of the E60's front. I loved the rear of the E60.

Aija · 05-26-2010, 07:28 AM

one thing im glad they did was fixing that dual exhaust on the F10 (one on each side)....

the E60 looks nice, but this one look looks even better!

+1! I want a new 5er badly but just don't find my love to the F10 look. Not with the pictures and not in person either. Perhaps I owned a e90 for too long and want something different. Hopefully f10 will grow on me, just like e60 did.

These are models for the dealer to use, the release isnt until 06-19-10 for someone to actual take ownership. Will be really tough for a dealer to deliver one prior.

tom333 · 05-26-2010, 04:49 PM

E60 is so beautiful, F10... snooze

bernpep · 05-26-2010, 05:06 PM

E60= Bangle butt ugly!!!

135iUSN · 05-26-2010, 05:19 PM

humm - uber = over

Over Awesome - not feeling it - but it could be the new catch phrase hehe

in favor of the new design that's for sure - love the new hood

docjay · 05-26-2010, 07:02 PM

Great review!thanks for sharing! congrats on your new car! I hope you keep the 550,your garage would look really awsome- +1 on you review-the F10 is a great looking car!

bm323 · 05-26-2010, 09:27 PM

Some complimented Bangle for his design which resulted in divergent views. Seems like the f10 is garnering the same

NewM3driver · 05-26-2010, 09:55 PM

I'm in trouble.

After 3 E39's and 2 E60's, I took an M3 sedan home for the weekend, fell in love and ended up keeping it. The car has perfect proportions. It is so smooth, so fast and handles so well the new 535 I drove last week felt like a boat. I'm not a big fan of the creased hood, either.

I thought I would drive an M car for a few years and get it out of my system, but now I'm hooked, I'm waiting on the new M5.
