@@ViciousFirearmsmodern luxury is just like old school luxury (except for classy interior and sometimes gorgeous design) but the just add more screens to it
I’m so glad I bought two loaded up BMWs with the B58 and iDrive 7. I really think BMW reached near perfection with those. Physical climate buttons, 8 physical hot buttons, physical sport/comfort/eco/adaptive buttons, physical traction/stability control button, physical headlight buttons, dynamic cruise distance control buttons on the steering wheel, no huge list of apps in iDrive, and iDrive 7 is just easier to use but really not missing much functionality to later iDrive versions. Oh, and I even get an extra storage compartment that they did away with on later models (the one below the headlight buttons).

@@GerberFlerber Fully loaded M340i is around 70k. Much better option IMO. Not a fan of this new 5 series design. Interior is too gimmicky and the exterior is too boxy, IMO.
@@qiwentan5318 It's difficult to see but there's a lip around the tire tray thing that it fits into. I'm almost certain it's exactly the same as the previous generation of 5 series had
If you choose the spare tire it comes just like that... If you order the tire repair kit instead, it will come with a normal trunk …. Sounds stupid but it is actually true
Couldnt have said it better about the tech-heavy infotainment. Owner here and It is most definitely a safety concern to do something as simple as change the climate while driving. Always swaying in the lane to look at the screen --especially with lack of lane keep assist/driving assists as standard.
Usually I’m not the kind of person to fixate on one feature (or lack thereof) in my judgement of a vehicle’s price, but even I’ll admit that I do kinda bristle at the notion of a turbo 4 cylinder at this price point. I think my ideal spec of this would be a 540i (or i5 40) with no M Sport anything but everything else on the base 19” wheels (maybe 20’s…maybe). Built one on the configurator and that came out to ~$77k
Excellent review, and I love how you started it with it being a 70k 4 cylinder 5 series. I could write paragraphs about this car, but to put it simply it’s a big miss. It’s a big compromise trying to be a platform for ICE and EV. The most noteworthy examples are the heavy weight, the un-BMW weight distribution on the ice variants (something like 53%-54% front weight distribution on this 4 cylinder x-drive variant), and the weird proportions of the vehicle. G30 540is are looking mighty fine on the used market compared to this thing.
A good review given the Topher is a gentleman who rarely says anything really negative about a vehicle. This car is clearly a disappointment from a company that used to define what a sports sedan was. The question is who is the new audience for it, if the more traditonal 5 Series buyer will be put off by the intimidating interface?
At first i didnt like it 2 months ago, but i grown to like the styling. The biggest component imo that should ne changed though are the styling of the head lights. Im telling u thats what is contributing to that weird crossover look
I have seen a few of these on the road. They are not as ugly as in photos. Rather, they are somehow more plain. I recognized the kidney grill but could not figure out what they were until I saw the taillights. Compared to the previous generation, they are not a win in terms of design. But neither is the E class or A6 (except in wagon form).
I would get ev version, cape york green is my favorite color too. I really like this vehicle. I also think this car has 1 of the best looking steering wheels of any vehicle Only thing, is if they designed the headlights in a way to be more sleek itd look way better. I realized the headlights are what contributes the most to the slightly off feeling
Its a pity you dont have 530d a 3 liter diesel engine. That is a rocket with no turbo lag with instant acceleration! Most of those in Europe who afford 540 actually buy 530d! Plus you need pro suspension which is an extra cost option but that gives you way better comfort and body roll control! And 1 more thing, you just need to get comfort seats, not sports seats, its a MUST! And i would suggest you get that light panel like in that new 7 series! It really makes it looks so expensive inside!
Carplay/android connectivity is plaguing BMW's new vehicles. Both my 2023 and 2024 models constantly lose connection. iDrive 9 is even worse! Sad to see they STILL have not fixed it.
I find the interior way too minimalistic for a luxury car, and the lack of ACC and lane centering at that price is insane when it comes standard on a $25K compact.
I have rented the G60 3 times from Sixt and for the most part agree with the review with complete disagreement on a few things. To me the ride of the G60 on 19 inch wheels was extremely compliant and much better than the G30.Why is he reviewing a car with stupid 21 inch wheels. I completely disagree on the turn signal which was my worst complaint (Cheap plastic and the feel felt cheap). My G30 turn signal has better action. I completely agree with the review on the interior screens and the need to bring back physical controls. I liked the G60 for its amazing drivetrain (4CY), comfortable seats (Soft as mentioned). Almost every review seems to say "Bring back physical buttons" yet car manufactures are not listening. I think Tesla just removed the shifter in cars and put it on a screen. CRAZY.
I like it, and I'm already finding barely used examples for significantly less than MSRP the way BMW formulates them to sell i.e. ship them to dealers as loaners and put them up for sale with less than 4200 miles on them, and a $10K discount.
I got to test drive an i5 and it's my favorite EV. It feels and drives like a bmw. They need to bring back the n/a i6 and manual transmissions in the gas cars!
I feel like my g30 530i will be the last of my purchases from the big 3. Seems like their cars are being designed by the marketing department and not engineers
Despite what the norm seem to be saying abt this, I think this new variation is pure luxury! Would be quite happy to have 1. I’d spec mine differently but yep, 4 pot n all!
Let's consider for a moment that a 2024 Toyota Crown 4 cylinder Platinum produces 340 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque for about 53k. Granted, it's a Toyota, the engine numbers are very decent. Now, we venture into the luxury market with a BMW that is 70k with an engine that is less than stellar. I can't even wrap my head around a 70k car with such an underwhelming engine. I'm sure it rides nice. Kinda wish the engine had more power without having to go up to the 540i.
Interesting that $70K or so would get you an e39 M5, then an e60 550i, then an F10/G30 540i, and now just a 4cyl 530i. I would think it would be a better value X’ing the M Sport, 21” rims, and B&W stereo for a driving assistance package.
I’ve had 2017 530i and I really liked it. Minus the super hard Dakota leather seats. The new 5 series looking a nice with the following: Dark exterior color with shadow line package. Just black everything out. So you can’t “see” the front face 😂. I do agree it is very over priced for what you get. Not a lot is standard. For this price adaptive cruise and ventilated seats should be standard at the very least
18:29 as you can see here, BMW invested a hefty sum into the development of their new car's turn signal technology to encourage their drivers to use their damn turn signals. Now you know why this car is worth $70,000.
I have been disappointed in how rough these cars drive now. BMW was always on the sport side of sport luxury BUT they always were so nice to drive. Now they have no road compliance and with cabin noise and rough rides they really have taken the luxury out of luxury sport. It really has been a down hill slide since the E39.
Absolutely beautifully said. I would challenge BMW engineers to drive an E39 on standard suspension (even on sport suspension) and try to convince me that this new 5 series rides better. The E39 rides so so well. I chalk it down to more sidewall and more of a focus on suspension design and ride/handling balance. Even an E60 on 17/18 inch wheels with non-runflat tires rides so damn well compared to newer BMWs.
@@pascutia kind of, I mean I had an E39 for years and I also at one point put aftermarket rims and sports tires on it and although it didn't have thin tires, they definitely were low enough profile and still the car was so smooth and comfortable in town and at 120 on the highway. it mostly has to do with the suspension. I drove that thing all over Pennsylvania roads and it took all the bumps and never felt scared of a pothole. Even when I switched to winter tires it was amazing.
Wow this just looks like Chinese knockoff junk. What happened to BMW? They used have so much style and class. This huge screen trend in cars has just made them all look like a side show joke now. Porsche is probably the closest I have seen to still looking decent interior wise.
Makes sense that class goes out the window then. It’s not just that though it is the obsession with unneeded big plastic screens. If a car has a heads up display then it doesn’t even need a centre screen. All the info should be incorporated into that so you don’t take your eyes off the road. Instead screens are just taking up more and more realestate. Common sense has just flown out the window.
For those who get excited and comment how BMW poorly designed spare in the trunk - this is NOT how the trunk looks like. This car is MISSING the entire cover (aka floor) of the trunk. That's what covers the spare wheel.

For those who get excited and comment how BMW poorly designed spare in the trunk - this is NOT how the trunk looks like. This car is MISSING the entire cover (aka floor) of the trunk. That's what covers the spare wheel.
Would you say audi s6 that you tested is better than this car?
looks just like Toyota Corolla interior
More like a slightly upscale Sonata
show me which toyota interior looks even close to this, let alone a corolla.
Is it noisy on rought asphalt ? can you compare cabin noise on rough surfaces to other vehicles?
For the 3 series this engine is great, I have it. Turbos are fun. But not for a 5 series. I’d either get a 6 cylinder or the electric version.
You can get a Genesis G70 2.5T AWD for $30k less and it makes more power lol
Yeah but the G70 is SMALL. It's not an apples to apples comparison.
The better comparison is the G80.
@@Maljeya 3.5t g80 would blow this out of the national park.
Man….i can only imagine how the repair will cost when this thing inevitably breaks sooner rather than later….
Bmw on top
The road noise sounds more than the Toyota Corolla
best car. can i upgrade new interior for 530i 2019?
I had one of these the other day try drag race my 1.6L nissan NX lmao
i actually really like the exterior design but why would they include an M sport package with it?
g80 pre-lci interior styling is still undefeated. sad they went away from that
$70k for 255HP and a 4cylinder.............??????..........?!?
