Would you let one option hold you back from purchasing 550i?

I consider surround view to be a necessary option in a big sedan like F10. I use the feature almost everyday.

The seat-belt is tucked in. So the rattle is definitely coming from passenger's seat. Visually, I can also see the whole seat kind of vibrating when going over a pot-hole.

I think getting a rattle...

Passenger seat rattle in my 535i - anyone else experienced this?

Yes, if someone rides with me the noise goes away. Time to take the car to another dealership I guess.

A loose bracket in an almost new 60+ k car? It's a rather poor QC by BMW I would say.

Passenger seat rattle in my 535i - anyone else experienced this?

OK, after 3 months / 3,000 miles I have found something to gripe about. My F10's front passenger seat rattles quite a bit while going over potholes and bumps (which are very frequent in the Bay...

Purists who don't love F10's foray into uber-refinement: what BMW is the PUREST

I had the same impression when I drove my first BMW (E90). I was immediately hooked.

The 'angel eyes' - look absolutely fantastic in F10. They stand out among a sea of (Audi) copycats, period.

Also, I like the circle corona rings way more than the current square-ish ones in 3/6/7...

I'm sorry I ever left

Did you find any difference between 535i and 550i in the sound dept.? The 535i is pretty darn quite, at least compared to 335i :(

Here's a closure to the story. It's good to know there is some semblance of law enforcement even in India.

Not noticeable (compared to my other car which has a non-turbo V6).

F30 328xi loaner underwhelming

F10 drivers, what will be your next car?

+1. F10 is a fantastic luxury sedan with sporting DNA. It's a great option for those who enjoys the finer things in life.

Awesome MPG - see it to believe it

I turned on the trip computer just to look at the elapsed time. I wasn't expecting great MPG...

+1. I also think mainstream application of V8s in future cars are limited. Hopefully the I6s won't go away anytime soon (or will they?).

M5 or stay with 550 dinan stage 4 ?

Here we go again. If you really want to be financially responsible buying a used Civic is the best bet. Buying/leasing is a premium car is a move finance 'guru's will never approve.

However, then...

I have signed up for 6er GC vs Panamera comparo in the Ultimate Drive Event. I think it will be a fun experience.

Now that 335i is doing 0-60 in mid 4s, the F80 will be a rocket. I envy you :)

Thank God we have much nicer posters around here who do not use their car to mask their insecurity.

I am sure most F10 owners can afford the F10 with any engine he/she pleases. Many of us found...

Let's hope it does not look like a mini Panamera then.

Like BickU, I'd go for 4er GC if provides F10's handling, ride quality, and refinement in a smaller package.

Manual for Nav, Radio and Communications

The car has a built in instruction manual built into iDrive and it's pretty comprehensive. Give it a shot.
