From the main page. I am liking the new 5er and assuming xdrive is ok now on this I would even be tempted with that!

looks great but the 5er is just too big. I dont want a car any bigger than the f30 and ideally my next car will be a smaller coupe/sports car hence the interest in the z5/supra dev. We'll upgrade the wifes car to something that we can all cruise around in, xc60 or something

Lovely car (I liked the F10 too). I fear just too big for me though, having something the size of a 5 would be a touch limiting.

I wish they would bring some of the 5's noise isolation into the 3/4, but I guess that would undermine the sales proposition for the 5.

This was an interesting comment about the 540i vs 530d "This improved ride surprises me given it’s on 19-inch runflats. But the chassis engineer reckons it’s because the diesel has a heavier engine that shakes in its mounts more."
