Gorgeous car. I like the F10 sans the driving dynamics of the chassis and the 4 pot turbo in the 528i that I find a bit underpowered for a car this heavy. But in the bigger picture the F10 is the BMW to own as I am not a fan of the F30 3-series. The 2 series is the best handling new Bimmer in production but they refuse to make a 4 door.

I am looking forward to the all new 2017 G30 5 series due this month in the US market. I currently drive a paid off 2011 E90 328i and love the car but plan to take it to at least 100K miles before I am back on the market. I prefer to own vs lease.

What's the point of using blinkers, no one pays attention anyway? Stop signs and red lights are for idiots. There's no such thing as speeding if you know how to drive.

Only joking.

I always use my blinkers / indicators.

I totally agree, even though I would wait a bit longer for the Touring which IMHO is the perfect design for the 5 series, not to mention all the other advantages they go with it.

Enjoy Watch nut.

Personally I'm a huge fan of the F10. Here's mine that I've had for 4 years now -

Image

A lot pf people say they find the way the F10 drives to be a little vague and woolly compared to older models, but as someone who's been driving solely BMW's for the last 20 years, I can safely say I've never had any issues with the way it handles....and I am a fairly "enthusiastic" driver! Admittedly mine has the M Sport pack so perhaps it's the less sporty versions that people have issues with.

In actual fact the main issue I had initially was just figuring out where the corners of the car were! I moved into it from an E90 3 Series so it was always going to feel bigger, but it actually felt a lot bigger than both my old E38 7 and my E60 5.

beautiful car, so my 2014 has the M sport package and I emailed BMW headquarters to see if it actually had different suspension from the regular 535xdrive or if the M package was just all cosmetic items and they said the M package is just cosmetic upgrades. I had to clearify it to myself.
