If you want a really new generation of car, you can consider new GS. Reviews sing that it is slightly better than 535, and you can switch back to 535 in 2 years when BMW brings new model.

What I wanted to say was to do the best thing, skip the Lexus and go for the 535i or even better a 535d. Or why not a M550d, the most powerful diesel in this segment?

Yes the steering is much easier. Because the servo-engine is much more powerful. The speed is not felt BECAUSE of better insolation and higher quality materials. There is much LESS plastic in the current model, what is plastic in the F10 that wasnt plastic in the E39? The E39 was not very luxurious inside at all. I had the M-sport 525 with leather seats. Everything in the F10 reeks of high quality materials compared to the E39 which was pretty rough even for its time.

Nah... No offense to Lexus owners if there is any in this forum, but I find Lexus incredibly boring to look at and to drive. BMW my choice anytime. |

The looks? To me, they're different, but both timeless and delightful. The E60 ... uh, not so much. I had three E39s, including an M5. I loved each one when I got it, but the F10 has much nicer features and amenities, and the speed on mine (550i) is staggering.

Mine feels like a vault door. It took me a few days to learn that I really needed to close it hard. Its funny when my clients sit in my car, they can never get the door to close...it always take a few tries

I love the drive of the new GS compared to my sold 2011 BMW 535i. It feels nimbler, sharper, lighter, and with amazing interior that makes my F10 plasticky.

Strange, it definitely feels lighter and more plasticky to me compared to the older E60, no vault door feel. I wonder if it has to do with it being locally assembled. I also really don't like the front bonet look, those stripes across the front surface looks like 3 long scratches across the face of the car. other than that, interior esp the black leather is very nice, with the 10.2" Lcd in the dashboard.
I am also considering the Jaguar XF and the New Audi A6. The former I like the exterior look ( think nicer than the new 5 ) though not the interior. The Audi can be had much cheaper in my country. |

I come from owning an E39 to an E60 and now an F10..... I like the space of the E60 and the look of the F10..... Somehow, the new F10's interior feels (and is) more cramped than the E60 was......
