Bengt Halvorson with The Car Connection were at the Portugal press even and give us their take on the new F10 5-Series.

Here are some select quotes from the article:

The new 2011 BMW 535i is more of a driver’s car than than the current 2010 5-Series—or most other mid-size luxury sedans—while still upping the technology ante and not forgetting about the comfort and luxury that matters.

Fortunately, all of our worries—and most of the worries we can think of for BMW’s enthusiast base—are for naught. First off, the steering in the new BMW 5-Series is the best you’ll find in a sedan its size; it’s one of the best systems yet—with a great, natural feel on center and plenty of road feel in tight corners.

The bottom line is that the new 2011 5-Series feels a little sportier and more expressive than the 5-Series it’s replacing. Those who might have dismissed the 5-Series might owe it to themselves to take a new look at this one.

Awesome! Just what I wanted to hear... I hope they kick it up a couple of notches with the M5 though. That car has so much potential to be a wilder-beast but they can turn it into a tamed puppy if they want to as well. Lets see what happens.

i am one of the people he/she is talking about and i am willing to take a second look. i am very surprised about it being sportier due to the size increase. i am starting to get excited about the F10. i thought i would have to buy a 2010 but that might change. BMW please release some photos of the M sports package!!!!
