The sixth generation of the BMW 5 Series consists of the BMW F10 (sedan version), BMW F11 (wagon version, marketed as Touring) and BMW F07 (fastback version, marketed as Gran Turismo) executive cars and were produced by BMW from January 2010 (for the 2011 model year) to 2017, with F10 being launched on 20 March 2010 to domestic market and F11
The F10 car is a different animal but same basic difference as discussed here apply. Except the F10 550 engine is like a larger version of the E60 535 engine. Same twin turbo design but nearly 50% more displacement. It weighs almost 4,400 lbs which is previous 7 series territory.
F10 / F11Model Year: 2010 - 2016. The power difference isn't blow-your-mind incredible, BMW F10 M5 BMW E36 M3. Appreciate 1

There is less computer intervention in Sport +, in the case of lateral traction loss when cornering. It still intervenes when you lose traction

2. 520d N47 engine as seen on LCI models as in my friends 08/2013 F10 build. The words TwinPower Turbo only add confusion otherwise exact same layout and specs as the one before. 3. This picture I got from the press release of the new 520d as of this summer. The below Blog will inform about the best practices for upgrading the audio on the BMW 5 Series(2010 – 2017) Models F10, F11, F07, F18 BMW 5 Series (F10, F11, F07, F18) (2010-2017) Main Entertainment Touchscreen Upgrade: Aftermarket entertainment upgrades for the BMW 5 Series are available from many brands and manufacturers today, a reliable Comfort to Normal adjusts the shocks only. Normal to sport adjusts the steering weight as well as the shocks. You can set through the I drive whether you also want it to include "drivetrain" meaning transmission shifts and throttle response. You can also get the same drivetrain modes by putting the shifter in sport as well.
The biggest difference for MY 13 are the packages. BMWUSA redid the packages. The Executive Package now includes many options, which I believe is a must for any 550 owner. Also Dynamic Damper Control DDC is not longer part of M Sport Package but a standalone $1000 option. 4 Zone Climate Control is no longer available.
2012 BMW 535 or 2013, differences. My current lease is expiring at the end of September and I have been planning to pull a trigger on 2012 535 sports or possibly one with an Msport package. I have been reading a lot that multiple owners have reported that the car pulls to the right and also has a rattling steering wheel when going 70-75mph.
A 150 kW (201 bhp) version of the N53 was used in the pre-facelift F10 523i. Applications: 2009-2011 F10/F11 523i; N53B30 (160 kW) This 3.0 L (183 cu in) version of the N53 produces 160 kW (215 bhp), the same figure as the 2.5 L (153 cu in) version of its N52 predecessor. However, peak torque increased from 250 to 270 N⋅m (184 to 199 lb⋅ft).

Now with the LCI there is clearly 3 different shift modes. Slow and smooth (comfort mode in D) Fast (Sport mode in D) Super Fast (Sport mode in S) I rarely drive with the transmission in S mode but when i did i noticed that the shifts felt firmer and faster. My exhaust note sounded different in between shifts.
Between F10 and F11, you can't go wrong with the F11. The only thing, the only thing, if there is anything, is that with the F11, the self-timer is under a menu, while before the Down arrow of the directional ring was the dedicated button for it on the F10. The cycle, or generation, of the car is predetermined when the model is released. The F10 was (IIRC) 2011-2016. The E "series" was the same. From what I gather, the NBT replaced the CIC as the iDrive in the LCI's. To be absolutely sure you get an LCI, get a 2014-2016 F10. The 520D only comes in a 8-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual. No other configuration. Paddle-shift option has no correlation to the number of gears; that is a build option. When I’m trying to insurance that car and typing in registration number it shows me “520d F10 SE Automatic 7 speed gearbox.
Drift around in pure EV mode and you'll be relying on the 530e's 83kW and 250Nm electric motor, which will provide what BMW refers to as "between 28 and 32 real-world kilometres". Run out of range, or simply use too much throttle, and the 2.0-litre petrol engine comes into play, adding 135kW and 320Nm to the mix.
In fact, above 50mph the power delivery in the lesser engine was more satisfying, as it felt more 'boost-y'. In comparison, the 35d seemed very smooth but characterless (in as much as a diesel can
