Good review from a buyer one year on who moved from his e39 530i after 10 years ownership to an F10 530d

While i like an e60 sport and never felt the hatred was justified (i may even own one in the future) the f10 is without a doubt the e39's natural successor in my opinion

Nice one @[Gar]
I love these types of reviews thanks gar, can't wait to invest in a F10 at some point but the F30 seems to turn my head more these days. Would you consider an F30?Quote:

Does that make the E39=F10.......
Having owned both an e60 and a f10 I'm afraid there is no way I can say the f10 is twice the car ! Better in some ways but worse in others :wink:Quote:

Very nice sir ! Love the wide screen nav ! I see you have the standard halogen lights too , have you done anything to improve them personally I find them rubbish even the lights on the e36 are far better! I've tried a few different brands of bulbs but none of them were any great improvement to be honest.
I have to agree about the auto box though it really does make the car .
I Had an E60 520d SE for 4 years, and have had an F10 520d for 2.5 years now.
Have to say the F10 is better in almost every respect. Although the E60 was manual and the F10 is auto. Would never go back to manual.
Only thing I miss about the E60 was that it had Logic 7 hifi. Standard sound in F10 is crap :mad:
Is your f10 sitting on se suspension kceire?
No. Very possible the car was just don of the trolley jack as we had the wheels off it.Quote:
