Thank GOD the 5-Series planners said NO to the 4/7 Series grille. The 5 has always had a rhythm all its own at BMW. These updates don't standout, which is always a 5er hallmark. I'm glad they worked on a few shoetcomings and yes, this looks more desirable than the oviod E-Class, although the Es interior is serious business, but BMW is catching up. Overall, I like that BMW held restraint on the 5, hoping it will become ageless like a E39.
a true story. i went to audi and mercedez for test drive after i got my driver license just after 7days, they all act non-interest and rejected. then i went to BMW, the sales made a smart decesion to bring the car out and swith to me to drive after get out of the 4S Store. so i bought BMW. i changed 3car within 6years but always choose BMW. the drive experience is fantastic.
I like the fact that Beemer is including massaging seats as well as many other interior features. I'm assuming you're starting to see fall colors in your area as they are slowly but surely changing down this way. Hope you guys have a great weekend! 😎
Just ordered a 2021 540 i xdrive, will pick it up in about 10 weeks. Went with the Bluestone Metallic, Ivory White Nappa leather seats, premium package, heated steering, Sensatec dashboard, and spare tire. Wife didn’t like the blackness of the M-sport package, so we went with the standard sport package. List was $70,335, I paid $63,000 even - including all fees. So about 10% off. I think I got a decent deal - at least the best I could finagle out of the 3 dealers I was negotiating with. No matter what you pay, you always feel ripped off, but whatever - the wife is happy, and couple thousand either way isn’t going to kill me. Can’t wait to pick it up. We tried the M340i, but wife hated the way it drove - not luxurious enough for her, as she is used to her Lexus.
Really great review, guys. One of the best I've seen of the 5 series.I just got my 2021 540i with M Sport and Premium packages and I'm absolutely loving it.
If they would integrate the double screen system from the audi a6 into the middle panel here, this car would be dangerously good. In my useless opinion, those knobs/buttons(especially that high beam dial to the left hand side of the wheel or whatever that is) old.
The sound isolation is actually great, almost on par with that of the e class. id say the e has a bit more isolation but really not that much difference anymore. i cant say about the brandnew e class tho as i havent reviewed it yet. iv reveiwed this 5 series tho so if u want ur welcome to check it out on my channel :)
hey guys, you need to improve your description when listening to the sound system... instead of generally saying it's ok..perhaps describe clarity, imaging, definition at the least...you fogot to touch on whether the car has a spare tire or fix it spray...
Nice job...like the refresh, and love this color. I had a 2001 530i, and I think it was smaller than the current 3 series. The 5 series has definitely skewed more luxury than sporty as it has matured, likely to appeal to aging baby boomers who have the deep pockets to afford this price range. Would love to see the plug in hybrid version.
The digital shows you how everything goes in a circle before regular keyless access like we know today Mercedes offered the card on the CL from 2000-2006
Honestly not impressed..........I actually think the 2021 Acura TLX looks better outside and yes inside........The materials actually look more expensive and well made in the TLX also.
very cool color! personally though, I like my 2021 330i over the 5 series, mainly bc it looks similar to the 2014 5 series, which imo, was a gorgeous design
I have a 2020 540i M Sport and I’m curious why they would downgrade the seats to SensaTec as standard instead of Dakota Leather like in 2020. You would think the 5 series would have standard leather seats.
They did a ton of decontenting for 21 in the US. No more soft close doors, no more Laserlights, no auto park, no display key, no nightvision. Not even available, which all were last year. And the prices went up. Last years car would have cost me $90k as equipped the way mine is (M550 loaded). This years cost me $94k.
Really beautiful Bimmer - always have liked the 5 Series - but Acura TLX might give it some formidable competition - any thoughts on doing a comparison down the line? Great review, guys! And yet ANOTHER 1k agree - congrats!! 😎
Nice video but what country are you guys in don't you have the 520 as you're saying the 530 is the most economical edition you can get? I'm looking for reviews on the 520 M Sport 2017 - 2019

So bmw is making huge nostrils for their M3, m4, 4,7, x5 and x7 lines but their 1,2,3 5 and 8 lines get more traditional grill size? Got it. anyone else confused?
no, they're actually testing the big grills on their low production models like the 4 series and M4/M3 to see how it appeals to the public. if those models fail they won't be losing a lot of money on them as they don't sell as much as the 3, 5 and other models. iv reviewed the new 4 series actually, ur welcome to check and see it on my channel :)
Yes turbo 4s are more efficient, but I remember when all BMWs came with the buttery-smooth I-6 standard. Its just something off-putting about this nice of a vehicle droning with a 4cyl under acceleration .

Engineered for performance and quality, but not reliability or dependability. This is a lease. Wouldn't own it outside of warranty.

Tipical bmw: it’s ok but if you want to feel like you drive a premium car you need a lot of extra options and bigger engine than this 4 cylinder.
