I went from an '11 E90 328i to a '17 G30 530i and haven't looked back. The G30 is a much larger vehicle not only lengthwise but also very wide, almost 73 inches!

There was definitely and adjustment period while getting use to the size of the 530, specially when parking and judging distances as the car has a long front end.

I had not owned or driven a full size sedan in almost 20 years so after many MINI Coopers and the E90 I had completely lost practice with navigating a large sedan.

Both are great cars but with different mission and conceived in different eras. As I get older I much appreciate the comfort, looks, Tech and relaxed "Mature" drive of the G30. Also the G30 does generally handle better than the late F10.

You can't go wrong with a 5-Series. For the record I never cared for the current generation of the 3-Series F30 hence why I held onto my E90 for close to 7 years.
