F10's comfort vs driving dynamics

[Bentanlh70]

Personally, I find the F10 is a comfortable car, but not much fun to drive. At times, I even find it unwieldy.

No doubt it has the executive presence (if that's your main priority), but for the same money, I would have thought maybe it's better to get a smaller M series car. The M cars made me want to drive out just for the sake of driving, without any specific destination. But for the F10, I only feel like it's just getting me from point A to point B, albeit in better comfort, that's all.

Any F10 owners like to share your thoughts?

Nope. I am referring more to the size and heft of the car. A bigger engine can provide more power, but it does not overcome the feeling of nimbleness (or the lack of it).

likely F10 is build more for comfort ....or installed coilover for more aggressively drive ( no idea if it helps on the F10 ) - maybe F10 M5 will be a real test..

the big sedans are probably not at home on ' tiny ' singapore roads

recently test drove 2 smaller M series models, and the feeling was so exhilarating and liberating! it's a world of difference.

Can’t agree more.
rented the new 5 and drove from London to Scotland and Inverness. to bath and back

did not enjoy it much ... than comfortable and too big for London and B roads in the uk.
The 3 is better for drive
