[QUOTE="ml5775, post: 29413, member: 26741"] Hi all,I've recently acquired myself a brand new F10 520i due to temptation from the looks and the technology that made it. It was just a sudden purchase and I didnt have the time to find out more, other than opinions from some friends and the salesman. Overall, the car is pretty damn good and there are many things to play around with, like the Comfort Access Package, paddle shift m-sport steering, connected drive, dynamic damping control, and many more toys.However, after reading many of their brochures and marketing materials on how smart, economical, efficient, and powerful their new N20B20 engine, i simply took the plunge and bought myself one. The earliest stock that they could get their hands on was a 520i, so i just took it. I wouldnt say that i'm regretting, but a little disappointed. However smart and efficient the engine is, even with the 8-speed paddle shift gearbox, I find the power and acceleration is just too weedy. Yes, I know it may be more than enough for most people, but having an E46 330i at home, I cant help but still drive the old car most of the time.
