F30 first drives

[AOK]

Ours has arrived! Having never been a big fan of the E90's, I've gotta say its great! Basically exactly like an F20, but bigger! Who else has driven one, any thoughts? My only main comment is that it feels really refined. Anyone who's driven an F10 will know the feeling.

We have a preview evening tomorrow at our dealership in Canary Wharf... feel free to pop in for some champagne and to see the car on your way out of the office!

So much for BMW saying we weren't supposed to take pics of it! Lol

I went into a dealer the other day and they had one in the showroom. I actually liked it - it looks more premium than the E90 which always looked less prestigious than the C Class etc. Interior was nice too with the exception of the hilariously out of place iDrive screen and the suspect plastics on the centre console.

Increased refinement sounds very good - I didnt like the refinement of my E92.

I don't like the sound of that!

I found the F10 dull as ditchwater, really didn't like it at all.
BMW are trying to appeal to too many people these days imho, they are loosing their way with the whole 'Ultimate Driving Machine' thing.

If you want comfort there are others that do it far better.
