I'm with Beemerup. Everybody knows that gas could potentially get more expensive; that's hardly news and its unlikely to make a difference to BMW enthusiasts seeking the top tier of performance in the F10 package until the M5 debuts next year. You may not have noticed, but the new F10 535i is actually slower than the E60 535i while the F10 550i is packing 40 more horsepower than the E60 550. The F10 550i is going to scream and I can guarantee there are going to be days when I don't crack 10 mpg in my new 550 because my right foot is going to be buried in the floorboard.

By my count, BMW is selling six different models of V8 powered cars at the moment, so there's clearly a lot of people like me who don't really give a rip how expensive gas gets. When the difference is 100 horsepower, like in the F10, I'm going for the V8.

Now could we please get back on topic?
