I recently drove from Toronto to Virginia and back, 8 hours each way and I agree that the F10 is a great long distance car. My 535xd has the same seats and I agree, they are the best I've ever experienced. Very comfortable and absolutely no fatigue that I used to feel in my legs in other cars. The nav works very well and when combined with HUD it is really easy to follow. It even asked me at one point if I wanted to take a break and was ready to suggest places to stop for a coffee. I can't imagine using a map anymore. Lastly, being a diesel, lots of torque for cruising and great mileage to boot. 40mpg average according to the car, made the whole trip (one way) without having to fill up. The only downside to my trip was not related to the performance of the car, but my windshield was damaged by debris flying off a truck. FYI... $2,000 for a windshield for an F10 with HUD!
