I've had the car for almost 2 years now and I'm glad changing it for the F10 535i in about 2 weeks. Sure its more of a boat, but take a E90 M3 to the track(which I did a few times) and besides fantastic drifts and powerslides, the trackability after 3 to 5 laps is a lie. The brakes are supersh1t and the car is SO heavy your 4 tyres wear off like there is no tomorrow. A M3 is too heavy to get the best of both worlds:Sportiness and luxury imo. Better get a 130i (with a proper wwww.drexler.com diff) or save money for a Porsche 997 whatever. Cheers Robin Last edited by Robin_NL; 05-27-2010 at 02:00 AM.. |

IMO BMW is going to do really well with the F10 in adverse economic climate. Nothing beats a well designed, high quality product in the marketplace. People respond well to products that are well designed, well engineered, well manufactured, and priced right. The sheer scope of improvements, refinements, and changes in the F10 is amazing. It was redone completely from the ground up. One cannot help but admire the effort and commitment that BMW put into this car. I also admire BMW's response to global warming in the product line-up while delivering cars that are fun to drive. For those that are skeptical of global warming they get BMW cars that save money on the fuel costs. In my case I buy well designed from products from companies that I admire. I have the highest respect for BMW as a company. Plus I really enjoy doing European Delivery every 3 years. BMW is not risk adverse. They definitely try new approaches and new ideas. BMW is rather amazing in being able to hit consist home runs with few missteps. I also admire their long view business perspective. American corporations take the short view and are driven by the unending greedy values of Wall Street with their unending demand for instant gratification and total lack of concern about the midterm and long term future of the company and products. Those values are clearly reflected in the products produced and the manner in which the consumer is treated. BMW does a great job in converting BMW Customers into long term BMW Enthusiasts.
