N55 minus 500 lbs and 2 doors.
Imagine your 535 minus 500 pounds. Now I get what all the people bitching about how the 5 series isn't a drivers car, mean. While I don't necessarily agree with them. Dropping a quarter ton off an already fast car, does some amazing things to the dynamics.
What's this? I spy an addition to the family. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Yep, the weight decrease definitely helps as well as the Msport package on the E92
If you got the Msport on the F10 I'm sure it would be closer, but still a drastic difference. |

I believe TJ has DHP on his car, so it's the same as MSport less the cosmetics.
TJ, congrats....what's it replacing? And what transmission does it have?

I got the automatic with paddles shifter. I know this car should be a stick, but you can't drive a stick in Hollywood and stay sane.

Now that's what I'm talking about! Congrats! ( Don't forget to get a trickle charger to the F10, the battery doesn't like being unused... )

Congratulations! Absolutely gorgeous! An excellent addition to the stable. I'm sure you will have unbridled fun with the "baby beast." I look forward to reading your (always) insightful and informative review.

I took it up into the hills last night. I kinda get what people are saying about the F10's size and steering after driving this car, but it's not really an apples to apples comparison. On the freeway, this thing is bouncing around. Sure, I like to "feel" the road, and it's all good for 20-30 minutes. But I can't imagine driving this thing to Vegas. I think I would get pretty worn out. It's fast as sh*t though. I'm contemplating getting the power pack for it, but that will come later.

Is this replacing your genesis?
