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. And that was a year after the last iteration of the previous-gen E60 won an eight-car comparison test. Talk about following in the footsteps of greatness – and stumbling.”

“Immediately after turn-in, there comes a behavior that is very non-BMW: Plowing”
BMWs are very nice cars, yes. But they are far from perfect as flu points out.[/quote]
Imho…As much as I like the 5 series these days… I really get annoyed for a lot of things that happened. It weighs too much now… Also, putting in electronic steering really drove me up the wall. I guess I prefer more of a actual rack… Putting in the e-brake is totally stupid too…
In reality…The new 5 series will sell well too more people. Because it’s probably more well mannered than the previous generation.
Well , I guess for the M5, they put back in a real steering rack…So maybe it’s fine.
