I'm rooting for the new 5er but I'm hoping it feels more like the E60 and less like the F30/F10.
Yep, I agree- I owned an E61 and a couple of F11s and the E61 was the best driver of the three

However, I've also owned MBs and they were like barges in comparison. Overall handling and driver appeal were never MBs priorities - other than in the true AMG cars - and I can't imagine they will have changed their focus that much in the latest E class. Comfy as sofas and tomorrow's cabs...
