We Drive The New BMW 540i - Is it a Business Athlete?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 авг 2024
- In many ways, the 5 Series is BMW. It embodies the classic BMW traits of classiness, sportiness, comfort and luxury. And in a segment in which competition is fiercer than ever, for this, the 7th generation 5 Series, BMW knew they had to produce something special.
And they've even given it a name. BMW calls this the "Business Athlete".
In this video, we try to find out what that actually means. We explore the Cape Winelands in the new 540i and discover whether this new 5 Series offers everything you might expect from the century-old Bavarian brand.

Hahahahahahahaha Ciro nailed the phrase "Business Athlete" with that dress code…literally.
Awesome review again... and again... and again...
This Ciro guy has to be , the best reviewer on RUclips .
I agree, and that by a landslide.
I'm genuinely surprised as to why Motor Trend gets more views than this channel
Rohan Iyer 2 reasons:
- They push the car to its limit (secluded circuits, 0-60, roud figure 8 performance etc)
- They also point out the flaws of the car ( eg: I noticed that the remote key is laggy, how good or bad the fake engine noise is, how gimmicky that hand movement is when u can press the button on the steering, and how certain features should be sold standard at that price range)
-I like this channel but they ain't on Motor Trend level

They drive on the right side of the road.

Best car in its class
Have to say chaps, I watch and have been watching a ton of RUclips over the years and you guys are knocking the quality, editing and hosting out of the park. Superb job. Music also spot on.
+Cobus Greyling Thanks so much and thank you for your support
You got it +
beautiful review as always. I'm loving that car though I'm waiting for next gen 6 Series to put my money in BMW. It is a beautiful car, they've nailed the 5 indeed.🏄👏🙌
Awesome review once again Ciro
Excellent review as always
Awesome! Best review ever....👍🏼
ciro de Siena you are the best... business athlete kkkk😂😂😂 u nailed it there
Great review - entertaining!
great video and review.
once again awesome background music
Brilliantly presented as usual thank you! The rear of this car though reminds me of one Suzuki Ciaz?
Ciro has redeemed himself...for once I thought he had lost it... since hos horrendous review of the 2.8 fortuner where he totally went of rail saying the ride was jittery... to ending up uttering refinement in the same video 😃😃😃... Still a legend that Ciro
Superb review... I love the dash of creativity it is true lunacy
Ciro is the best in SA when it comes to car reviews 👌🏾 keep it up bro
great reviews. you should have much more subscribers:)
future of fashion 😁 👌
Excellent review
What an awesome car! I'd personally get a diesel but the 540i is great too
tdjsh
I have a 540i. I was wondering the pros and cons to bmw diesels for my next car
excellent review😀
I have been trying to find your review of the Opel Astra K but I can't find it
I like the review. I like your face when you do that hand gesture. Clothing will also make it unforgettable. However you didn't seat at the back for leg room and head room or show us the boot and the engine, even though you had about 9 minutes. I feel you could have covered a lot more with that time. A good video though.
This Ciro is made for this thing, great review
nice review... cant wait to see the m5. please do a head to head between it and the e63s when it comes out
Mothusi Maake me too, the E63s comes out pretty fast and amazing but the 5 series come out pretty strong as well and m5 is coming on his way.
This guy's sense of humour is great!
great review buddy and quality production!

best reviewer ever....i like the dress code🤣
ciro and cars . co za you did a great review on the bmw 5 series and I really like the key it is like a smart phone
Very impressice way of demonstating the feature of BMW. It is the hidden monster. An elegant monaster.
when will you guys get the Velar?
You have the COVID dress code even before it was a thing! you should start a fashion line :)
Phew Ciro, thank goodness the marketing team said business athlete and not business sex symbol rofl. Not sure I could have handled half suit/half g-string on you.
Brilliant review.

The new M5 looks very promising
I think this is my favorite BMW 5. With the inline turbo 6 gasoline, white exterior, black or brown interior, M Sport package and black gloss shadow line.
A class act.Can't be beat.
@ciro - Please confirm - this car definitely had IAS rear wheel steering and the standard M Sport Suspension? So not Adaptive Damping (which you can get with IAS) and not Adaptive Drive (which you cannot)?
I need a answer..according to ur view which one is better BMW 5 or Audi a6 or Mercedes E class..plz reply...
its a nice review..specially starting business & sports😉😉😅
I really look forward to your videos. practical, funny, informative. Really the best car review channel out there!
Who edits these videos??? They are awesome!
Its still missing a feature: automatically flashing the high beams at slower road users
Lol
So beautiful
I'm just glad the future of fashion never came up Ciro😅😅,I watched it when first was played ,I'm watching it again because I want to get this 2017 540i used for 500k rands,around 90k mileage,I'm not afraid the b58 is so good I don't think it will ever break😅😅😅😅
amazing review! love the car in every aspect! the only downside side compared to the f10 the G30 has a smaller interior which almost feels a 3 series... Just my opinion. Great car all-round
Ariel Dinanga g30 has a smaller interior ? You know the g30 is bigger than the f10 (therefore with more space).
Lovely review. Not so much a BMW fan but Ciro always makes the video interesting. Anyway, the exterior looks very boring in my opinion, but the interior looks very welcoming. One thing I hate about BMW is how low the rear seats are, I'm not sure if it's the same with this model?
I think I would be nice if you did more in depth reviews so that we can see what features the South African cars come with. I have seen the features from the European reviews, but I know that some of the features never make it to SA. So it would be nice to see which features did make it. It would have been nice if you had shown the self driving abilities and all the other cool stuff.
Ciro🙌
wonderful
Do u ever rest Ciro, bcoz always yo reviews are fresh, on par and precisely on point...
Just love how u present it just serene...
Thanks alot..... 👌👌👌
Wat a 5 series yoh techwise got me overwhelmed
aaah - this man is good - he can sell anything to anyone anytime
what song in the beginning..great review though..
ha ha ha ha , love your reviews
He reminds me of Top Gear with Jeremy Richard and James
This car looks lit, And looking at the price, It's close to the Ford Raptor 2017 model, and damn, I prefer the Ford Raptor 2017.
and the shorts?
Semi autonomous driving is standard across the Volvo S90 range, so thats where I would put my money
Man what outfit you wearing? Work at 9am basketball at 1pm
why don't you do the new Chevrolet Captiva
Alright Ciro blessyo! I have recently found your movies and iam watching them full now. Great! You know I went in the 530i niceone! Smoth and quite as a luxury lineup ship but small like a car you cannote ask for mo. This one is nice they told me to drive it so i drove it but look a m5 is still faster what must i say? The bmw man told look its not fast like a m5 but its nicer i said what are you telling? Comeone now you can't be series! But still ithing the 5 serious is seriesly nice car would you take one or the mercedes benz c clasS? I say no contest i will take the bmw. If we watch a movie from america with a bmw in it like mission is possible when they move the m5 or the m3 i say this is the best film i have ever seen we watch it at home on the phone becuase remember we dont have dstv becuse i didnote win the last 2 tenders and so i spend the money on De Toren Black Lion and a 2014 The Cab Franc. Now we are dringing water but my friend said i will get another tender now for covid. Thanks Ciro remain as cool as you are.
Nice shorts.
I would like to drag race between this beamer and Audi S5 please toe.
Pity SA doesn't get the best cars and best engines. Ciro is up there with Matt Watson and Rory Reid
This or 340i?
nice car
classic
It looks like a big fat 3 series
0:47 OMG...ah 😂😂😂
In 2018.why would anyone want to buy a 5 series when x3 and x5 has it all with more height and cabin space?
Dope video and accent
Cheetah in a suit
So this car is as fast to 100 as an F355!
Short pants?
Wow
4:05 talk about timing 😅
Actually I want to see review of BMW M5 7th generation I. cars.co.za
it definitly lacks the luxurious and wow factor which the e class has eventhough it has all those extras
Why is it called a 540 when it is a 3 litre????
You look like you went to school at CBC Boksburg...hahahahahahaha
isibaya
meh, i'd take the 7 series. or E43
9 minutes of review and didn't open the back door or the trunk...
do more Japanese cars reviews
lexus, infinity etc
Ahmed Moosaji I fully agree more Lexus/Japanese marques
It's hard hard choice this time still need to wait for A6 let's see bmw has great car but shit customer service as Mercedes but audi offers both a great car and alright customer service
Jawad Malik bmw customer services in jhb is miles ahead of merc and audi.
I’ve owned all three brands and it’s the best service by far
0:47
Is he in his boxers? lol
it is ironic how bmw try to make their saloon and family cars sport cars yet they can not manage to make a proper super car
first
lol nice 1
Pants or trousers. The Brits are gonna lose their minds
Nice legs, bro
😂😂😂😂👍
misc
Not a fan of the cabin in the 5 Series, the E class is better. However the outside of the E class is somewhat ... well no other way to put it UGLY with those stupid day running lamps. As much as I hate BMW, I have to confess that the 5 Series looks better outside.
Depending on the new A6, I won't easily consider this segment!!!
Wessel Erasmus what do you mean by the 'day running lamps'?
I don’t know what kind of money they use but one thing for sure it has no value
o
E43 kicked BMW badly, in all aspect.
In the USA, only dorks and drug dealers drive German cars.
uhm.... k
You wanna argue the point??
@@markremy4946 in SA only drivers with a dead wish who drive ford
@@SAKHIWEMARKPIKE Do German car owners in SA(where is this?)get depressed when an American-built Chevy Corvette blows their doors off at 1/2 the price??I guess some people love to waste $$$
@@markremy4946 probably not... There's no class with that.
No one in this Country buys big saloons anymore doesn't matter how good or what car brand it is.
Gesture control is such a gimmick. And that key is way too large to be a key. The features should just be incorporated into a smartphone app.
