    The hole next to the tank filler neck is for diesel vehicles in Europe. You have to fill up with an additive called AdBlue.

    I don’t hate it. I definitely am excited for the new m5 tho. I had the 530 as a loaner car recently and I do like the ride and technology. I did find some of the tech confusing and hard to operate as I was driving 😂

    by the looks of it, i would be very annoyed with the tech. No physical buttons for hvac and that tacked on screen looks so cheap. I get it, you have to have screens but you can also have real gauges and some buttons. Exterior looks terrible vs outgoing car.

    • @hosemarian

      Agree. They do this because its cheaper to produce a small screen that can be programmed to do anything instead of physical buttons. And they push this for you to pay extra as a feature xd.

    I'm not a fan of the looks. I'm curious how the new M5 will sell being so heavy and hybrid. I do like the wagon model they are making. Think I will hang on to my F90 as a simple tune makes it just as fast as the new M5 that apparently will have 718HP according to the report I read on Bimmer Post yesterday.

    • @TommyLGarage

    Thank you for the review. I understand you are getting older, and I am older than you. I have a G30 540ix, and I'm not happy with the luxury feel of my car. I want the ultimate driving machine back, like in the E39. If I wished to experience the luxury feel, I would go to Mercedes.

    …I might consider this vehicle (either i5 M60 or 540i) used in a year or two…as I learned an expensive lesson to not to buy the vehicle brand new (unless it’s an M car) where the used 5 series is all about race to the bottom price. It happened to G30 tho.

    Design is not only subjective, but people's opinions on it change over time, as they did with the E60, which was initially hated, only to gain legendary status later on. Same goes for the G60. Personally, I find it very elegant and reminiscent of the E60. But what positively cannot change in people's mind is the quality of the interior. And sadly, in the G60 it is atrocious. Just look at the window switches on the driver side. Or the buttons on the steering wheel. They belong on a FIAT at best. I sat in a G60 a while ago and was appalled. Shame.

    No, no, no, no no no-no, no... BMW is dead for me. I am finding it horrible outside. RIP BMW. Even Mercedes-Benz is doing better. These screens omg, why... I am getting old, that's the issue 😇 Maybe I should also spend more time with it to have my mind changed. Interior looks nice and seats are an important part of a vehicle - good to hear you liked them since you can compare. Just too bad they made such an ugly exterior design, this is a significant failure imo, not a 5er anymore...
