Or from the June 2012 MT:
BMW 535i – 2nd Place (1st place, Lexus)
“It’s no secret that we haven’t exactly turned cartwheels over this latest generation of 5 Series. Two years ago, when the so-called F10 debuted, it didn’t even make it to Round 2 of our Car of the Year competition.

BMWs are very nice cars, yes. But they are far from perfect as flu points out.
