I feel that the 535i has the appropriate engine to keep true to the Bimmer driving dynamics. But when we are talking about the 528i with the N20, I just don't think it has the power to really give you the same dynamic performance. But we can all agree that the F10 is a stunning car with a luxurious interior!

So how has your experience been with your F30 compared to your F10?
The F30 feels (and IS) agile, a F10 is not. You can throw a F30 335i around a bend , you don't do that with an F10, way too heavy. But the F10 is more comfy, very silent, etc etc. But apart from the N55 it's not as dynamic as you might think. The 335i still is. A day & night difference(and >400? lbs too)

So the F30 feels and is faster in a straight line, the (exhaust) sound is much better. You can toss it around. The brakes are better(not only because it weighs less) . The positition behind the wheel is more active. But I stll love the F10 interior. Superb quality.

TBH I still prefer the F10's in & exterior styling.
But driving the F30 makes me forget that in a heartbeat.
