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?Originally Posted by Gar

100%, the F10 is twice the car the E60 was. And the E39 was twice the car the E60 is too!
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:
Having owned an E39, E60 and F10 currently on a daily basis, I have to disagree. The F10 wins hands down, they only thing the E60 beat it at was brute power as it was a5 35d LCI.Having owned both an e60 and a f10 I'm afraid there is no way I can say the f10 is twice the car !

Just wondering do you find the steering and brakes a bit vague compared to the e60 ? Btw any pics of your f10 ?Having owned an E39, E60 and F10 currently on a daily basis, I have to disagree.

Being honest, I don't see much difference. I just feel he F10 is more solid if that makes sense and corners a lot flatter, ie not as boaty. I think the new 8 speed gearbox makes the 20d engine feel faster that it is, and it picked up speed quite quickly too.Just wondering do you find the steering and brakes a bit vague compared to the e60 ?

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 .
RE: Nice honest F10 review
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
