Hi, am looking to buy a "new" used car and have narrowed down to F10 535i and F01 740i. Both cars' prices are around the same region, with one year-plus in between, the 740i being older in age, naturally.
Currently drive E65 730i and wife drives E60 523i but i realise the differences between the current 5 and 7 are not as stark as the former generation's, could be because the F10 is built on the F01 chassis?
All other things being equal, ie:- similar condition, mileage, etc. Never mind the towkay image and all other connotations. Not demanding performance nor handling prowess, but both having the same engine and similar chassis, i guess the difference is not great, except for the softer suspension and heavier weight of the 7 series that could alter handling somewhat.
Suspension-wise nevermind, i am used to the cossetting but tough 7 series suspension. Which would you choose?
Thanks!
