I hate to be a "Debbie Downer" here, but the F10 was by no means a boss in its class in the dynamics department. That being said, this will certainly be an entertaining match up!
Agreed , but dynamics doesn't make a car a class leader the overall package does and as an overall package the F10 was a benchmark as was the E60 and E39.

With what I've read so far it seems the G30's team was given a brief to make it more dynamic than the F10 so I'm hopeful. It does look more sporty , aggressive and athletic so that's a good start.
 
They have sold over 2 million units of the F10 series 5er on the count of it being competent for all areas it was needed in order to excell. Others might come forth to claim the crown on dynamics but they overlook the entire point that the majority of customers want the benchmark in competency for its segment and these competitors are not at that level of competency.
It has always 5er that has been given the title the business mans car. Because there is something about a 5er that resonates with an executive.
Globally the best selling model? The 520d.
 
It is amazing how the f10 still looking good and whenever i see one in the road it turns my head every time .l hope the new g30 will do the same and age very will like the f10 and it will
 
BMW iDrive is the pinnacle of integrated interfaces found in an automobile.

Yawn.

Therefore logic applies that they maintain a progressive outlook on the interface itself as they have the developments of Touch interfaces and Gesture control at BMW.

Gesture control is the biggest load of crap I have ever experienced in a car. Period. I will be writing my report on the G11 I drove for 2,000 miles and four days when I have the time, but one of the few negatives was the gesture control. I can't believe it was signed off as being suitable for use in the G11. It DOESN'T WORK when you want it to, and it WORKS when you want it to. It's utter bollocks.
