Thinking it's about time to replace the old '06 S6 Avant this spring or summer. Anyone have experience with the BMW F10? Good, bad? Looking at the Touring. Have had an E46 and E39 before the Audi, been very happy with them.

Thanks

Personally I think the new models are as ugly as the Bengal ones lol.... but BMW is losing their "sport" cred. New F10 just feels bloated and heavy and even numb steering... E39 actually felt like a large sports sedan, not the new ones. The new engines are great, but they've neutered the feel of the car. Their still fine cars.

No personal experience..supposed to be a Top Gear Episode on March 4th according to this...

I'd say that I'm not really looking for sporty, got that covered. I'm looking for a softer riding car. Even though the S6 is not rock hard, it's still hard for a daily driver. I did however like the fast steering of my E46 and E39 but I'm going for a test drive this sunday. Looks, well that's subjective. I actually like it a lot better than the E60/E61, they were pigs for sure. BMWs have always had a certain feel to them over the other germans. The straight six in an E34, E36, E39 ect. was just an unbeatable combo. So precise without being floppy or hard and even though a BBC sounds good, the 3.0 and 3.2 straight six had the most awsome sound when pushed. If all that is gone, no more beemer for me. Moter wise, I'm looking at the 535. What I'm trying to find out, is whether anyone knows about bugs. It's a fairly new car and even though it's based on the 7 platform, much is new.

535 uses the same N55 engine other models use, it's a great combo for mpg/power. Not sure of any bugs.
