F10 to F15. Good move?

Hi

So my lease is up on my F10 535d and its time to look at other cars. For some reason I seem to have fallen for the F15 40d M Sport.

My question is has anyone else moved from an F10 to an F15? Is it a good move or do you have regrets?

F15 is a great car,if you need this type of car and you are a BMW fan,you should buy a 40D M Sport.
In my opinion it s more confortable then the F10 and have more + then your actual car.
If you need a bigger car,and you can afford i say go for it because the F15 is way better than a F10.

Not the same but similar...

I went from driving two E60 ( 5 series ) to a E70 ( X5 ) and I think I will stick with a Sports SUV moving forward...

I'm toggling between a sedan, a coupe and the new X5, and I gotta say (although this might very well be the honeymoon phase) I am inclined to agree with Kzang & stick with a sports SUV moving forward... pity the polar bears and baby seals, but what the hey...

Do you need the space or it is purely looks? I really love the way F10 handles compared to F15 even with all the criticism about how soft F10 has become, did you test drive one F15 yet? Go try and if you are still considering it, then check this thread: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...23#post8488823

If F10 LCI had the front end similar to F15 (headlights join with kidney), I might seriously be considering it. Current F10 front end looks old even with upgraded headlights.

Thanks for all the replies.

I am not in so much need for the space I just fancy something different.

I have had an E60 then upgraded to the F10 when it came out. I have seen the new F10 and it is a lovely car. I love the way my car handles and really cant fault it in any way, but Since seeing the F15 I feel its time for a change.

I am just worried that I will get the X5 and miss the handling and power of the F10 535d.

The X5 will not handle as good as the 5 series... however... it will take turns pretty damn impressively for a SUV of this size and weight.. I do miss the "performance" of my 535i E60 sports package but I am perfectly happy with my E70
