Edmunds choice of top 3 features of 2011 BMW 5 series
Edmunds blogs about the top three best features of the 2011 BMW 5 series (F10). Their choices are the Dynamic Handling Package, the automated parking assist with parking cameras, and the Eight-speed automatic transmission. What do our own F10 owners / test drivers think? Feel free to chime in.

edmunds.com is incorrect. The previous generation E60 5-series only had adjustable shocks on the M5 models only and the regular E60 models (528i, 535i etc etc) only had adjustable stabilizers on sport packages only. Couldn't get both.

Automated parking assist with parking cameras surprised me. Except for major cities there isn't a lot of parallel parking in the US (not sure about Canada) whereas in Germany parallel parking is a way of life.
The collision avoidance system will probably at some point save a life, kind of surprised it didn't get a mention. just my two cents, Tim |

Is the auto parking assist available with the manual transmission?

Depends on the friends. My car-geek and techno-geek friends will be out of their minds psyched/impressed. The rest of the crowd, however, will be giving me <bleep> the entire time I have the car.

Dynamic handling (as part of the sport package)...no brainer. Better performance and handling + better, more aggressive looks. My 550i is on order- graphite on black nappa on aluminum. Trumps InfinitiM, JagXF, MercedesE, Audi6.

I think the Dynamic Handing Package is silly. If I wanted a numb ride I would not buy a BMW. I would get a plush Lexus. I would not consider this option for myself since I would always have it in sports setting anyway. I ordered the sports package and I may lower it a little later on.
