Considering the girth and size of the new one, they were only expecting about 500 people to lease them, and those were from the Academy of the Blind

Well I've been invited to test drive the 535 and 550 next weekend, so I will report how good/bad they are. I have a feeling they are pretty good.

I had an F10 550i for several days recently, it was tremendous. Like the E60 never happened.

I have gotten used to the E60, the newest bmws are getting too big and fat.

Have to agree with that. I like the new styling but I can't stand that the car is so big. It'd be nice if for once is BMW didn't make the next release of their 3,5, or 7 fatter.

The F10 is roughly the same size as the E60, I believe. It's about 3 inches longer, but nearly identical height & width. So if by "girth", you're referring to width, I wouldn't worry too much.
If memory serves me right, dimensions are something like 193" x 57" x 73", versus 190" x 57" x 73".
It is a bit heavier, however, but it's got a TON more power & torque. It feels a LOT faster than the E60.
I was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of it.
