I went from F11N 535d Tourer to G31 540i Tourer. I didn't want to go below 300BHP when changing, so I had no choice of buying 540i if I wanted to stick with BMW.
I love the more direct and balance handling and upgrade in gadgets. I'm not so fond of the change in fuel consumption. I went from 32 UK MPG to 26 average. I bought the car to occasionally kick down; when doing so I have gone from mid 20s UK MPG on F11N to mid teens in G31.
It might come across as slightly negative or second thoughts, but I have no regrets. I would gladly pay the price for a high BHP BMW engine. It's funny because I don't own a seat in my house as comfortable as the electrical memory comfort driver's seat in the car.
