Mak's F10.......
As much as I loved my E9x, I am loving my F10.
It is not as fast as 6 pot but it is economical and more comfortable. For the time being, here is a pic of it  And here is 8 Speed automatic Sport transmission   Ideally, I would have loved F11 but that was too big for me. Back to Saloon but rear folding seats were must. Specs of the car 2011 Sophisto Grey 520d And here are the specs: Heated leather seats Heated steering wheel Sport automatic transmission Flappy paddles on Steering wheel Deleted model lettering Glass sunroof Interior mirror with automatic dip Through loading system + rear folding seats Headlight cleaning system Front and rear PDC (standard on 5 series) Professional navigation Combox 6FL (usb/ audio interface) 6NF (music interface) and looking for iphone 5 media cradle 6NR (bmw applications with internet radio) BMW online BMW internet Voice control Active pedestrian protection (standard on 5 series) Gloss black interior trim And that is it for the time being. For me, sports automatic transmission is a deal breaker. Car seems to be always in the right gear. I can switch between standard, sport and sport plus settings by switching them and yes they make engine, steering wheel and suspension alteration. When you put the car into sport mode and put the gearbox into sport transmission mode, it is very responsive! Few mods planned such as suspension tweaking and body work enhancement.

Ive been in a new 5 GT a few times. My local BMW offers a chauffeur service and thats the car they use. Interior inside is lovely and the auto box is great! You are right Sam they are big cars, too big for a guy like me with no kids

Nice mate
I think this will be my next move TBH - although I think I'll stick with a petrol version and in Sport guise.

Nice looking car Sam, really do like the F1x
 Will be good to see what mods you do on it..even a decent set of wheels can make the SE look 10x better!

I am going to go mental and follow 320d guys doing M3 coversion  So plan is - M5 body kit without side skirts / M badges - 20 inch wheels - Xenon retrofit - Quad exhaust with M5 kit - TV tuner with CIC / or NBT retrofit - eibach pro - Spoiler - Front bumper lip - Speedometer changed to mid level (gives more information) PS: Speedometer is already so good. You get navigation instructions at the bottom of speedometer. Also, colour is white on the bottom LCD. During the night time, it changes it colour to orange to avoid any distraction.

Blimey Sam missed this one!!! Read your other thread re selling the 330d, the house and mortgage situation and all that. Needs must and TBH I'd do exactly the same.
Re your latest steed well versed re these as we are seeing then now, they are lovely fir a car of this size to drive, though big they are very comfortable roomy and as you've stated with the auto are fairly lively. We've had a 320d M Sport Tourer Auto as a company vehicle now for 2 years now and fir me it's the gesrbox in that car thst really makes it whst it is deceptively quick, makes the E9x auto set up look and feel a tad antiquated. So we are looking forward to mid January next year when we get its  replacement another tourer this time a 335d The idea behind getting the F series cars was to learn about them as they are different as you'll discover in many ways from the E9x series plus in the near future things mapping wise will happen with the F series that we will,be a part of which is all I'm going to say for now
