Visual Comparison of G30 vs F10 5 Series. Which do you prefer?

Apparently, I am in the minority in this forum. I like the display screen up high. When I am driving if I have to take a quick look, it is at the height of the windscreen which minimizes the time away from looking out the window.

Funny how perceptions change. Not sure if anyone else feels this way.

When the G30 came out, I thought the F10 definitely looked better. Now the G30 looks 10x better in those pictures.

It also doesn't help that the F10 that was in the initial pictures is a pre-LCI. LCI may be closer to the G30 with the LED headlights.

No matter how much i love my G30, i cant get over the F10's exterior. G30's interior is so much better and more luxurious though. Lets not talk about tech because new car almost always has better tech.

The best BMW of all time is always the previous gen.

(or the one that came out when you got your drivers license)

Dimensionally, the G30 is 1.2" longer, 0.3" wider and 0.6" taller than the F10, and also features a 0.2" longer wheelbase.

That is true. But the E39/E46 will forever be the best!

With the exception of the the E60. That was never touted as the best BMW of all time in any tense.
