The F'10 never did anything to get my corpuscle's jumping though. I felt it's gotten too big, too bloated and has strayed from a true drivers reward of a car.
I know comparo's are for selling magazines, but I agree with many of the recent ones that conclude that in this class of automobile, the competition has not just closed the gap to BMW in key driving attributes, but has outright surpassed them.
Here's hoping they get some mojo back with the G generation  |
Take this for what it's worth but I've seen on other sites that the 550 will be moving away from a V8. Supposedly BMW confirmed this, I'm trying to find the supporting documentation.
