2024 BMW 5 Series G60 (520d xDrive) review - Bigger AND Better?

  • Опубликовано: 4 дек 2023
  • The G60 5 Series is about the same size as a short-wheelbase 7 Series from a decade ago and you certainly notice it has grown up. It is about 10 centimeters longer than the G30 it replaces, it has more room for passengers, but it also has a smaller trunk, and it's not quite as agile around the bends. Its bigger body also means it's lugging around about 100 kg of extra weight over its predecessor, and between this, the longer wheelbase, and the very light steering, this feels much more limo-like to drive than any previous 5 Series.

      Congrats on the review. Good to see a fellow romanian doing english reviews. How is the comfort and road noise ? Im buying a 550e these days and im not sure which way to go ( i have an order for a 7 series since September with no date in site for allocation and I’m thinking to quit as it can go up to 1 year)

      Really? I'm surprised to hear this. Maybe a diesel will be added later? It's silly not to offer one and I'm sure there are still plenty of people in the UK who would still buy an oil burner, even despite the constant bad publicity that diesel has gotten over the last few years.

      Cheers, thanks for watching! I’m a sucker for M packs, so I’d choose that, and maybe one of the more premium leather options for the seats. It comes pretty well equipped as standard. If you’re from Europe, wait a few months and get the 540d version :D

    @andreipopescu3719 8 месяцев назад

    Although it looks a bit weird, I personally like that is higher and that the black plastic in the lower body in this regular trim is a more practical option in real life. The ground clearance also seems quite high, more like a crossover. Not that sporty-looking as the g30 for sure, but i think this is more suitable for every day life.

    • @OneTireFire
      @OneTireFire  8 месяцев назад

      You may be right, but it’s ultimately a matter of taste and how much practicality and usability you are willing to sacrifice for the benefit of having lower slung and sporty looking car.

      @@solitude6213 Well, if you look at the really basic stuff like size and price, I think it's approaching 7 Series territory. BMW no longer offers short and long-wheelbase versions of the 7 Series. That's because the current 7 is already a long-wheelbase car, and I think some people who would have considered a short-wheelbase 7 in the past might think this new 5 is enough. And it's obviously my opinion, so you can disagree.
