[QUOTE="Juan Powerblow, post: 610563, member: 20"] I agree with Primus2211 completely. Initially, I thought the paddle shift would be nice since I had in a previous car and tended to use it a fair bit. But the F10 is a different sort of ride, pleasurable in its smoother, cruisier driving style. You tend to just wanna be more relaxed but by no means is it a slouch. Get past the initial weight barrier, the 520i can still be fun, the torque distribution is sublime. The HUD is cool too but it's not a must have. After all, the data communicated via the HUD is also shown on the center instrument i.e. directions, distance to turn offs etc. It was a pleasant surprised to notice this the last time I used Sat Nav, and with it, I was relieved there's no need to look at the screen but straight ahead most of the time! You get used to it quite quickly. [/QUOTE]
