But the shell makes a huge difference though. It's lower, longer and wider than the 3 series. To me, the 3 series is a great car but it is still too small for my taste. The old E39 5 series were the right size, but my new F10 is too big and heavy compared to the E39. The fact that is lower and sportier only makes it more attractive to me as I ideally would like to have a coupe but the realities of life do not allow me to do so.

I am frankly surprised that so many people complain about a new car being out to meet other people preferences and needs while BMW still sells a car (4 door 3 Series) that satisfies the needs of those that are complaining.
