What a shit car: - 2. Row Legroom smaller then in Midsize Car - Trunk Space smaller then in a Skoda Octavia - 2500kg, for a "sports car" - Cheap Plastic like a VW Polo But hey, its got nice Ambient light 😂
As a BMW client since 97 I got my fair share of models. Loved the idea of this model but many details seem like have been bought directly from the AliExpress HQ…
It's a luxury touring car, no one is going to track a car that is this expensive anyway, might as well buy a dedicated gt3 car. The PHEV inclusion is for businesses to get discounts and BMW to help reduce CO2 on paper.
Oh Amg E53 with a v6 weight in at 2.3 ton Panamera v8 hybrid weight in at 2.4 ton(nobody gives a F because it's a porsche) M5 with a v8 and hybrid weight in 2.4 ton Stop yappin kiddos u can't afford it anyway Grateful that it still has a v8 instead of downsized engine This is a luxury sedan / touring not a pure sports car like a 86/miata Grow up mate
Agreed - the big screen in the BMW looks soooo cheap and gimmicky. Cheap plastics and tacky Android-like screens. The old dash was a class-act compared to this.
The touring looks 1000 times better than the sedan. The black rims on black really does look good. After so many ugly and cringey big grilled BMWs (i4, iX, M3, M4) this is so promising. Too bad its a massive and heavy boat and the hybrid range is kind of a joke. Nice interior!
Awful. The ugly illuminated grill with non-integrated radar detail...the massive weight...the horrible headlights. G30 pre LCI was peak modern BMW. Was looking at a N63B M550I, but still can't trust the BMW V8s. Fast AF though. But what are they thinking with this gamer styling?? Ridiculous. Thomas is the best at covering the details though, top rank channel!
Blah, blah, blah. Another supposedly BMW aficionado that can recall every BMW M, N, B, number. Sir, to you I say THIS IS A PHUKN FABULOUS CAR. The difference is I could actually go and buy one.
@@mlo5083 And your horrible taste is why they keep getting worse. Keep on keepin on. Yeah details ain't important, just get the shiny one with the most lights muppet
as an extremely happy and satisfied owner of M850i I recommend you not to hesitate and buy this M550i! There won’t be cars like this anymore, don’t be afraid of the V8. It’s finally enough modified to be relatively reliable. Just choose your car carefully and don’t forget about regular services - this engine need lots of attention because of how hot it is. I’m servicing mine every 5-7k km and nothing happened in 40k km, everything is perfect.
@@yaroslavbauer8137 congrats on the 8 series! The 850 GC are definitely beautiful. I'll likely be going with a E400 W212 as it fits my needs a bit better now as a reliable commuter. The 2020 M550 and 8 series are incredible machines though.
Nothing makes it looks cheap as flat panels and rgb lights. Not sure why "modern" interior is so bad in many new cars. Bugatti are the only ones who got the memo and makes an interior that looks and feeld expensive.
@@DeadlyDizzle-yn1vz I mean it skipped the digital dashes and touchscreens.. and went for analog dials, and physical buttons. The inside of the M5 looks like a gamers bedroom.
@@salamov963 their CEO who is the maker of Rimac said that they have many unsold Neveras. they were cool in the boom of ev's, but people do not find them as cool anymore.
What a shit car: - 2. Row Legroom smaller then in Midsize Car - Trunk Space smaller then in a Skoda Octavia - 2500kg, for a "sports car" - Cheap Plastic like a VW Polo But hey, its got nice Ambient light 😂
I don't need an illuminated grille, I don't need ambient lighting inside, I don't need a big screen on the dashboard. What I need is 800 kilograms less weight, that's it.
Leah's camera work is top notch. Excellent framing and tracking. Also, I am surprised that this was filmed what looks to be DJI Osmo Pocket 3; the quality is excellent. I thought it was a mirrorless camera.
I can't imagine how digusting these touchscreen panels will get after days of usage and improper cleaning. With sunlight shining from just the right angle, all the dirt, oily fingerprints, swirls and risks will appear. It's nicer to look at than to have.
Great review as always. I always loved the M5 Touring V10 and came very close to buying one 5 years ago. I have absolutely no interest in this 2.5T M5 Touring, even after it will depreciate very heavily after a year. Additionally, why on earth don’t they offer alcantara type seats???
Gone is BMW’s timeless harmonious design. Instead this design is too complex, too heavy and in some areas plain ugly. Look at the transition of the backdoor to the fender. For cost reasons, they used the standard door. What to say about the poor integration of the the sensors in the grille. Bmw’s were renowned for their excellent user friendly interiors but that is gone too. 😢As a bmw fan, my heart breaks
Well it’s nice that BMW is bringing back the wagon offering in the US but unfortunately this generation of 5 series is ugly to mediocre at best. In addition the slab style instrumentation gives a very impersonal attention to detail. It’s so generic how they mount a series of iPads on top of the dash. What happened to the day that BMW spent the time to integrate instrumentation that would communicate a drivers car. They just keep moving more and more generic in feature function integration. Front end needs more work to make it more attractive.
I haven't seen in my entire life so much piano black in a car.I mean it is a beautiful super class car but that piano black all over the place is horrendous.

Saw it in green a few days ago at Legends of the Autobahn in Seaside. Spoke to BMW rep from Woodcliff Lake and asked for BEV i5 touring - he said not coming to USA for now. Sad. I love my i4 eDrive40.
Unfortunately, I experienced on my own skin what problem brings the excessive weight of the car, on my 2K Kg M550i I lost grip due to old smoothed out road and it was impossible to control the slide, although the speed was less than 70 km/h. I ended off the road, which stopped the slide. Lighter cars who drove in the same column with me did not have this problem. Such a big weight on such a car is not a problem, as long as there is a grip. But as soon as grip gone due to any reason, I realised how it can lead to big problems.
It will be interesting to see where they position the next Alpina B5 given I assume they will keep them as a low volume OEM. Maybe take the battery out, trick suspension and comfort seats in some very expensive leather perhaps
Love it in and out but they should make a version without the PHEV system. Not everyone wants that and it would probably save a couple hundred kgs of dry weight.
cockpit is not good - the screens looks like afterthought. Bring back buttons! Looks cheep... I'm sure it drives fine, but these things are deal killers to me
Any G90 owners here? Why isn’t anyone talking about the AC problem in the ICE 5-series? After driving for 3-4 hours straight, the AC just quits. You have to turn off the engine for at least 4 hours before it’ll work again. It’s crazy!
Today I walked into a BMW dealership and looked at some used but still young 3-series vehicles. Just for reference: I drive an A4 from 2019, coming from an excellent Golf 7 Tsi. When I took a seat in the beamers I was disappointed with the design and build quality of the interiors. But the prices of the cars were quite high, where has the money gone into, I thought? There's no sense of wealth or luxury in these cars. You probably have to opt for several expensive options to make it look wealthy....and that's what always has been the problem with me and BMW's. We don't seem to match somehow.....
The BMW colours are nice as a touch here and there but to then carry that over to the entire interior lighting scheme is way over the top and a bit fanboy like
Unfortunately, the design is unsuccessful...the ground clearance is very low compared to the size of the rear luggage, and this will make matters worse in bumps...the companies should reconsider such outdated designs...this is the era of SUVs
Im super impressed by the cargo space. I would like a large lfited up wagon here in the states but absolutely no options. Everything from Europe is expensive and unreliable, even if reliable basic maintenance is so expensive. I dont particularly trust Subarus reliability so no Outback. Stuck with SUVs and CUVs for now. Absolutely no alternatives that fit my needs and wants.
I really would not be buying a large ICE premium expensive vehicle this close to going pure EV. The PHEV concept works for me as I would get most of my mileage on electric but wonderful to have a twin turbo V8 for your last ICE hurrah. I like the satin paint. The price is simply ridiculous. On production the use of the portable strip light really makes the filming of the boot much better so please do this from now on. In fact using extra light for any of the dark bits of the car really makes the review easier to follow.
Hey Thomas, A question… Why is the quality of the paint from car manufactures so poor that you really need to spend hundreds or thousand of € to protect your car from scratches and chips etc. I mean, shouldn’t we expect more from them with the prices they charge for a new car these days? Why is no one talking about this?
I I think the touring model is the best looking version of the 5 series. The sedan styling is just off in its styling. I drove the 5 as a rental and liked the quiet and the fit and finish very much and the infotainment system is much improved.
Agreed. And it does not feature the idiotic embossed "5" in the C-pillar. Looks good in my opinion, but ridiculously heavy and expensive. In half a year these will be up for grabs for reasonable amounts..
201", 5400 lbs, wow. Like the RS6 avant here, there's no point counting on wagon sales numbers when you only offer the most absurd price point. Also only a glass roof, not an opening sunroof? More loss of functionality to modern manufacturer cheapness. Hell, they couldn't even do an electric cargo cover? At is price point? And those non-adjustable headrests. Hope you're the same body shape as the test dummy they're based on.
BMW has won the design price however there are some points for improvement. Interior and exterior fantastic however the interior the happtic design that the whole panel drops down when you press one button. I do not know if this is the best way forward. The plastic for this price is not done on the trunk lid. What if the electronics not work were can you hold to lower the lid down?
I just wanna say it is really cool that you still call out when manufacturers use animal skin seats. It makes them crying about how hard it is to make an electric vehicle seem not as truthful when they go out of their way to skin cows to make a worse seat.
I am surprised, that is slower than Audi RS6 (of course due to weight), but, also the ICE engine has less power than the ICE of RS6. Would be very interesting, what Audi will come up with the new RS7 Estate :)
Hey man with one you will choice m5 new or Audi sedan or avant or touring i like bmw have more space more playful let us know BMW or Audi tell us true Tomas

What a shit car:

- Trunk Space smaller then in a Skoda Octavia
- 2500kg, for a "sports car"
- Cheap Plastic like a VW Polo
But hey, its got nice Ambient light 😂
That LED around the grille is the most alibaba thing ever
It needs a fake Versace Medusa logo to become 100% Alibaba
You can just flip a switch. And the Alibaba genie makes it disappear.
As a BMW client since 97 I got my fair share of models.
Loved the idea of this model but many details seem like have been bought directly from the AliExpress HQ…
If you park 2 of them side by side, their gravity fields will combine and create a black hole just from the sheer weight.
No comment on the interior from Temu either
@@rochenwolf6113 Which temu are you talking about? have you sat in one?
Wow so original!
@@rochenwolf6113lmao have you ridden one 😂
You definitely won comment section.
ngl the M5 design looks a lot more sensible when it come to touring version.
Bullshit.
Rs6 çok daha guzel
@@bulgariaZheladovolu agree
2.5 tons. That is nothing but ridiculous.
It's a luxury touring car, no one is going to track a car that is this expensive anyway, might as well buy a dedicated gt3 car. The PHEV inclusion is for businesses to get discounts and BMW to help reduce CO2 on paper.
Oh
Amg E53 with a v6 weight in at 2.3 ton
Panamera v8 hybrid weight in at 2.4 ton(nobody gives a F because it's a porsche)
M5 with a v8 and hybrid weight in 2.4 ton
Stop yappin kiddos u can't afford it anyway
Grateful that it still has a v8 instead of downsized engine
This is a luxury sedan / touring not a pure sports car like a 86/miata
Grow up mate
@@UhOhUmm 2000kg could be achievable but it would increase production costs a lot, this is only good in straight line
@@PaulTC777 It will still be capable on twisty. but nobody is going to take it on track, except maybe that 1 guy in youtube
I stopped watching at that point
So. Much. Cheap. Plastic.
So. Many. Dots.
All 3 German Brands really are making an "All Of Plastics" contest nowadays.
@@necbalThey're. Called. Periods.
Going back to 90s German luxury. Cheap plastic all over.
Is it? a lot of it looks like softtouch or quality plastic?
Guys let’s start a list of cars that weigh less than the new M5
I start first:
- BMW X5
- VW ID Buzz
- Tesla Model X
German car brands seems so lost right now, not all models but many looks strange, plastic, have cheap solutions and way too expensive…
there's no incentive to build a quality product if you have a strong brand
@@bsdpowa
A strong brand creates expectations and if you fail to meet those expectations then there is only one way to go if you’re on top…
That interior is giving me a migraine. What happened to BMW’s sense of clarity and elegance?
Greed
They went woke
I agree! This is an interieur for Barbie and Ken😁
The present dashboard design with the cheap rectangular tablet design has to be the worst ever…
Agreed - the big screen in the BMW looks soooo cheap and gimmicky.
Cheap plastics and tacky Android-like screens.
The old dash was a class-act compared to this.
The touring looks 1000 times better than the sedan. The black rims on black really does look good. After so many ugly and cringey big grilled BMWs (i4, iX, M3, M4) this is so promising. Too bad its a massive and heavy boat and the hybrid range is kind of a joke. Nice interior!
Touring (Kombi) looks shit! It is the ugliest thing one can do to ruin a beautiful sedan.
Literally the only nice looking car from BMW in the last 5 years
All of the " Main German Premium" car makers really are doing an "All of plastics" contest nowadays
Give me some non-plastic somewhat premium cars.
Even Porsche! Sad state of affairs.
porsche is the only brand that still offers luxury and solid quality. mercedes, bmw and audi chose the wrong direction
Porsche is also twice the price
@@f181234 E class, 5 series, A6 all starts from around 70.000€
7 years ago starting price for these models were 35/40k.

Worst M5 ever. The front looks like of a truck: too high. Interior cheap materials. 2500 kg! Is it a joke?
For me it’s the exact opposite…
I love it
You can see Thomas slowly sinking into the ground together with this begemoth of a vehicle
He does the most detailed reviews and you can read in between the lines how much cheapness is being used and overall ugliness inside
Thank you so much! Please recommend / share our channel and our videos 🙏
Bloody Massive Weight
Great review as always. I always loved the M5 Touring V10 and came very close to buying one 5 years ago. I have absolutely no interest in this 2.5T M5 Touring, even after it will depreciate very heavily after a year.
Additionally, why on earth don’t they offer alcantara type seats???
Not *sustainable* 🤣😂
Cheers! Yeah I told them that too
@@autogefuehl❤ I will try and track down an old V10 Touring. It will be a future classic with that engine. This won’t be 😉
Styling is not great tbh... The pulsing indicators are dumb too.
Gone is BMW’s timeless harmonious design. Instead this design is too complex, too heavy and in some areas plain ugly. Look at the transition of the backdoor to the fender. For cost reasons, they used the standard door. What to say about the poor integration of the the sensors in the grille. Bmw’s were renowned for their excellent user friendly interiors but that is gone too. 😢As a bmw fan, my heart breaks
Well it’s nice that BMW is bringing back the wagon offering in the US but unfortunately this generation of 5 series is ugly to mediocre at best. In addition the slab style instrumentation gives a very impersonal attention to detail. It’s so generic how they mount a series of iPads on top of the dash. What happened to the day that BMW spent the time to integrate instrumentation that would communicate a drivers car. They just keep moving more and more generic in feature function integration. Front end needs more work to make it more attractive.

Always Touring - but so heavy!
Watching this on my 13 inch iPad Pro M4 everything pops🥰 Great video!
The back looks so good wow
Removal of the smaller glass roof in the back is insane… truely unreal
Touring always ages the best.
The M5 is dead!
At this point one is better off with a 5* restomod of an older car. The pricing is crazy!
Who the f designed this car, Leepu?
Saw it in green a few days ago at Legends of the Autobahn in Seaside. Spoke to BMW rep from Woodcliff Lake and asked for BEV i5 touring - he said not coming to USA for now. Sad. I love my i4 eDrive40.
When are the drive reviews coming out? really interested how it turns out
BMW design looking more like gundams every day 😞
Unfortunately, I experienced on my own skin what problem brings the excessive weight of the car, on my 2K Kg M550i I lost grip due to old smoothed out road and it was impossible to control the slide, although the speed was less than 70 km/h.

this car look wild
First BMW touring I’ve seen that looks better than its sedan version
Almost every touring looks better.
Correct !! @@Remigijus86
I'd just like to say, Thomas, without driving impressions, I think this type is more of an overview. It's what the specs say.
thats why I titled reveal review, I do not only present but also rate and compare exterior/interior/facts
This thing is amazing, good quality inside.!
What a great looking touring car with superb ambient lighting!!😊😊❤❤ Would like to see the sedan version in the next Mission Impossible movie!!😉😉❤❤
I can accept the hybrid, it’s ticking a necessary box. But it’s prob £130k before add ons. Hard sell.
The F90 was sold for around 200k before and the G90 now for at least 50k less, so it’s perfectly selling for sure
It will be interesting to see where they position the next Alpina B5 given I assume they will keep them as a low volume OEM. Maybe take the battery out, trick suspension and comfort seats in some very expensive leather perhaps
This is probably the first time where I prefer the sedan over a sport wagon.
I do like the rear. Especially the diffuser as it kinda reminds me of the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta diffuser 😍
Please fly to Italy today for the reveal Thomas, we want Autogefuhl's coverage of the Temerario on Friday right after the event
Lets wait a year for the RS7 Avant then we can tell if this is really the new king of the road. I prefer the new M3 Touring over this one.
I used to like BMWs :(
A car for Asians, not for European users. 2500 kg? xd
5m10 … and no space at the real seats… 😢
For me the exterior doesn't look good, but I can understand that some people will like it.
Love it in and out but they should make a version without the PHEV system. Not everyone wants that and it would probably save a couple hundred kgs of dry weight.
That red would take some getting used to...

I see all the hate comments. But I think it is good looking. Yet I have a 23 M240i and love it too.
That‘s the way it is jetzt. 😂
Chibesische Motoren Werke.. the estate version does look better at the rear. But it's a proper Chinese piggy 🐷🐷
It’s not a car, it is a child hue disco for 170k. What a disaster

Audi RS6 put pressure on y'all to make Estates cool
This exactly.
What a porky design and weight

Hope the competition is lighter and not hybrid
It won't be. An no competition
first bmw in years, that i like
Thats it. Only Porsche left
This car feels like a Chinese copy of a BMW. Most likely because it has been made to appease the Chinese market first
Love the touring
Hey Thomas,
A question…
Why is the quality of the paint from car manufactures so poor that you really need to spend hundreds or thousand of € to protect your car from scratches and chips etc. I mean, shouldn’t we expect more from them with the prices they charge for a new car these days? Why is no one talking about this?
Indeed the paint quality and thickness has declined. Maybe i should use a paint thickness measurer 😁
What is worse? The car’s illuminated front grill, or a video without Lea?
Why didnt they go the Porsche route that added only 50 kg???
I I think the touring model is the best looking version of the 5 series. The sedan styling is just off in its styling. I drove the 5 as a rental and liked the quiet and the fit and finish very much and the infotainment system is much improved.
Agreed. And it does not feature the idiotic embossed "5" in the C-pillar. Looks good in my opinion, but ridiculously heavy and expensive. In half a year these will be up for grabs for reasonable amounts..
201", 5400 lbs, wow. Like the RS6 avant here, there's no point counting on wagon sales numbers when you only offer the most absurd price point. Also only a glass roof, not an opening sunroof? More loss of functionality to modern manufacturer cheapness. Hell, they couldn't even do an electric cargo cover? At is price point? And those non-adjustable headrests. Hope you're the same body shape as the test dummy they're based on.
This car has the same acceleration as the 2017 AMG E63, but that car is 500kg lighter, better looking, and much cheaper by now. Your choice.
I also prefer the touring way more than the sedan. waiting for your drive review.
Touring (Kombi) looks shit! It is the ugliest thing one can do to ruin a beautiful sedan.
In the Video notes you have wrote Interior Quality in German!
Hehe thanks! Must been the car that demanded that 😂
BMW has won the design price however there are some points for improvement. Interior and exterior fantastic however the interior the happtic design that the whole panel drops down when you press one button. I do not know if this is the best way forward. The plastic for this price is not done on the trunk lid. What if the electronics not work were can you hold to lower the lid down?
I just wanna say it is really cool that you still call out when manufacturers use animal skin seats. It makes them crying about how hard it is to make an electric vehicle seem not as truthful when they go out of their way to skin cows to make a worse seat.
thanks for the support !
thanks
So heavy... Hybrid is maybe necessary... But it kill the emotions...

I am surprised, that is slower than Audi RS6 (of course due to weight), but, also the ICE engine has less power than the ICE of RS6. Would be very interesting, what Audi will come up with the new RS7 Estate :)

BMW is promoting subscriptions and anti repair tactics. It’s time the world shuns BMW.
