The F10 interior is more conservative and refined, but To me the F30 is much sportier, especially with sport line trim.. Until this thread gets shut down I think we are just going to see F10 vs F30 endlessly debated.

You should get what you like, but at least for me it was partly about money.... My previous 528i only had premium package, xenon, and sat radio. For $50 less/mo, now I have an F30 with all of the above, plus Harmon Kardon, comfort access, and the sport line. If I absolutely needed the room, I would have leased another 5er, but just doesn't make sense, since to equip the same way I'm guessing the payment would have been a total of $100-$150 more. I also think that you are asking a lot of a 4 cylinder engine in a 5 series (hence the slower 0-60), so really then I almost need to compare a 328 to a 535 to be on par performance wise....
