I have to admit my 540 is pretty big, I notice it most when parking in my garage it takes up A LOT of space. Fortunately it does not drive like a big car.

As far as the looks, while I am tired of the F10 I still think when I see one with the M sport package that they gave that car a sportier and better look. I really don't think my car is good looking ... maybe when they refresh it they will change the wheels and give it a better look.

Also I think BMW should have done a better job on the back of the car. It just looks so plain and very similar to the outgoing model ... again maybe the refresh will improve it.
