anyone else like the e60 way better than new

5erman · 06-07-2010, 04:33 PM

Hey guys, anyone else think the e60 is soooo much cooler looking than the f10 or 2010 5 series--whatever the new model is called!

I guess as long as you have some 19s, tint and car is clean, the overall design is much MUCH more unique and future forward. Does not look aged at all in style. THe new body really does not stand out from lexus, toyota, ford etc without having the badges if one was to do a look they probably would not know it was a bimmer aside from the kidney grilles. I mean bmw drivers likely will but others-not that I care but as a point of reference, everyone kinda knows if you drive by in a slick 5er that it stands out and NOTHING else looks like it on the road.

Anyway I love my 07 530, I love my 255hp N52 engine and sport package-its just the perfect car. I have driven many n54s and they are fun but I really enjoy my NA n52, smoother and more rev happy. The n54 poops out at higher revs while the n52 keeps climbing in power and sound until 7k-

anyway just a random rant-but anyone else with me?

Yes, I do. Everyone falls in love with newer model cars. While the E60 may not look great, it is still nicer than the new 5 series which looks like a baby 7 series.

I agree, the E60 is a lot better looking than the F10. IMHO I especially don't like the fact that they've brought the design of the new cars so close to the design of the Lexus.

Lets see how the new M5 turns out.

I agree with all you guys! e60's have better lines and a more cutting edge design!

the e60 is much better looking and handles better than the f10. the design has really aged well and it doesn't look old at all, even with the new model sitting in showrooms.

I really think the E60 looks better on the exterior than the F10.

The F10 has more of a Japanse car look to it and does not really scream out BMW.
It's not as aggressive as the E60 body, especially an M-Sport body or an M5.
I think the E60 M5 has the perfect looks for a sedan over all other sedans in the world.
That's just my opinion.

The interior is nicer in the F10 though.

Agree; I like the e60 better. But do you remember when the e60 first came out... Maybe the new ones will grow on you.

breezy423 · 11-03-2010, 04:09 PM

I love my e60 just as much as the next guy, i think its perfect in size and power. With that said I've driven the neww 550 with and M package and the ZDH handling package. The F10 blew my socks off. If I could afford one the only way I would buy is with an M package it just looks amazing!
