Not for me... In fact, I am enjoying more of my E250 everyday as I find more F10 on the road and the more I see the F10 the more the F10 looks bland to me.

Perhaps the M gear for the F10 may help to enhance it's look in the future, but I am getting to like my E250 more each day!

You should be glad that you didn't buy the F10. Many F10 523i owners don't realize that that their car's OMV is super low..only $37K. With a selling price of $215k, can you imagine the tremendous depreciation these owners face? Be thankful that that your W212's OMV is a lot higher. These days I can't help myself calling F10 owners "SUCKERS!" on the road.

ya man.......F10 OMV is real LOW........

but then again, BMW = Sheer Driving Pleasure...

moreover maybe people who buy F10 must be die-hard or OMV doesnt bother them at all........haiz

Definitely no regrets buying W212. In terms of design and build quality, I believe the F10 still lags behind.

IMO, the F10 design "lacks imagination"

Still prefer my E250 Avantgarde :music:

that is so true...

see, i figured the range of mercs got their own character but still carries the true merc dna in them..Apart from the engines which are suppose to be in the same league..mercs n beemers are totally on diff spectrum in terms of design.

Merc designs got the As that are fun and Bs that are practical with a sparkle and Cs that sportiness and Es the stability and stature and of course the S for luxury...Each class has its distinctive look but still connects in design language...and you cant deny the elegance in each and every class..

however for the beemers...they don seem to evolve much in all their series..its like lets stretch a little here pull alittle there..but don u dare touch those signature nostril grilles and contact lens lights..thats that so take it or leave it...package it like apple..that the sales formula and we are gd to go..

just my take..:)
