This generation and the lci are the best looking modern BMW’s imo
I love the new one too
That’s my dream car 🙌🏻 😍
Great goal!!
Usually I just skip to the 0-60 portion of the video but this time I watched it all from the start. Awsome review! one day I might have something like this or the (older) naturally aspirated E550 Mercedes lol
Thank you! Why do you skip 0-60 tests?
@@DMCarReviews I skip to the 0-60* i meant i usually only watch the 0-60
@@automotivetv9861 this gen 5 series is IMO the best in terms of looks and interior. The newest gen has no physical buttons anymore, and essentially is the same size as the previous gen 7 series (this usually happens). This is the sweet spot. My dad has had a 540i xdrive since 2018, no known issues/flaws.
@@automotivetv9861 You should watch the full test drive next time :)
this or the f90 are my dream car daily, so fast but they look so classy and practical, i think this is the best looking modern sedan, its a shame they dont make them anymore
There will be a 550e, probably with even better acceleration and efficiency
Эта BMW очень и очень красивая 🙂👌 мне из BMW ещё очень нравится BMW e39 и BMW e60 😎 эти кузова BMW у меня вызывают приятную ностальгию ☺️
Шикарные машины
I think you should buy this car for yourself. You seemed very much pleased with everything that this car had to offer. Looked well kept. I wonder what the underbody of the car looked like since it’s originally from New York.
Got to love Frederick MD, and I70.
There are lots of great cars. Can't buy them all😄 I'd go for the X6 M60i over the M550i, if I were choosing between the two. I do love both though!
Any plans on testing a 2021+ 540i? Would love to see your perspective, especially on a RWD model that most people don’t review
Great idea! I'd definitely be down to film one. I've driven them before, and they are really good. I remember I did 0-60 in 4.7 seconds from launch control on an almost 100 degree day. It pulled so good.
@@DMCarReviews Nice! I was looking at a few used LCI 540s and the RWD is cheaper than AWD by $6-7k which is crazy lol, just a bummer that no one ever reviews the RWD ones
Great vehicle, I’m trying to find a good one used. Can you try to review a 2024 Santa Fe?
I'll try to do one!
@@DMCarReviewswhat is the radar you use? It seems to work great, eh?
@@bradleyscarreviews Uniden! Amazing radar👌 I haven't set up the K band filtering, because I prefer to have the additional sensitivity just in case.
Can you try to review a 2015 Mercedes Benz GLK 350?
If I can find one, sure :)
RIP the m550 - bmw pretty much confirmed the m5 will be the only v8 in the new 5 series
Yes! The M550i is going to replaced by the 550e. I wonder how it will perform.
@@DMCarReviews Good review btw...If it performs like my X50e it will be pretty amazing. For one in electric only mode it is quieter than a rolls royce...The power is pretty epic from the battery combined with the engine. Lastly the gas savings is pretty substantial. The 550e will likely be faster...My X50e is close to this car and it's heavier i believe. Good review btw
@@pete64041 Thank you! Yes, the 550e will be at least just as quick, if not quicker than the M550i. Same powertrain as the 50e, just 1000+ lbs less of weight.
Such a shame. Unfortunately, governments are going to ruin the car enthusiast world. I already find myself not interested in so many new cars coming out, especially the turbo 4s. Can't fathom how 60k cars sound like tin cans. Ridiculous.
Definitely should let the boost built a little longer before taking your foot off the brake during launch control. Otherwise good results!
Makes no difference :)
its fast, but kinda expected it to be faster bc the 2024 bmw 540i gets 4.4sec 0-60 according to bmw
I did 3.8 seconds with launch control, but I'm sure the new 540i can also do it around 4 seconds too. The upcoming 550e will definitely be a sub 4 second car.
I get very similar numbers 0-60 in my 2024 X50e...But i also haven't put a drop of gas in my SUV in 4 months lol
Yeah, 0-60 wise they are really close, especially when no launch control is used. The difference is very minimal, and the X5 50e has a much quicker start and no lag/delay as the V8 does. The only place where this car is even better is after 80, but it becomes pretty irrelevant past 100mph. I'm sure the 550e will be just as fast, if not faster.
Bet that X50e doesn't sing like this V8. Listen to that symphony from the hood. I will put gas everyday in mine to listen to that 😀
That old style interior wood is so bad, but otherwise this is a fantastic car, hilariously fast
I love the wood!
Cannot agree here with the "response" statement. Responsive was my previous Audi S4 B8.5 with a supercharger. Now I have this BMW M550i and, man, there is massive turbo lag. In Sport Plus it is not that annoying as revs are staying high, but in comfort - very unpredictable ride. The car and accelerator pedal in comfort mode are completely disconnected. There is a noticeable delay of 2 seconds before anything happens. So I often either stall for 2 seconds or suddenly jump off a junction with too much speed.... Thats is not great about this car and something to consider for people coming from NA or compressor engines. THERE IS LARGE TURBO LAG. And you need to plan your acceleration well ahead...just like on my 2008 1.8 Hoda Civic Automatic.. haha
Having owned an Audi S5 Sportback B9.5, and having driven tons of RS5's, S4/S5's (as you can see on my channel), I don't think Audi's can be said to be super "responsive". They have tons of lag off the line, and sometimes from speed too. Dynamic mode does help out with taking away some lag when already at speed, but off the line lag is still there. I did not notice any lag in the BMW, and the response was very predictable and good. Sport+ was amazing, to say the least. Every BMW that I have driven has had great response and tuning. It is normal for comfort mode to be dulled down. That is why you have to ease into the throttle and let it build speed gradually.
@@DMCarReviews B9 Audis all have turbos. S4/S5 have single turbo. RS cars have two turbos. Never drove those and assume they also have turbo lags. I am talking about 3.0L supercharged B8.5 S4 From 2012. I don't think you have it on your channel. I also drove F90 M5 and same turbo lag there as on M550. Of course compared to Audi SC. May be compared to other turbocharged cars BMWs somehow better, but nowhere near the response of the supercharger, trust me :)
@@PavloRiabchuk I've driven the 3.0T Supercharged cars. They do have better off the line response than their turbo counterparts, but they are still slower than all their newer turbo counterparts by the times. Drive the new M340i, and when you floor it off the line, there is zero lag. It just rockets out, and off idle you can do a 4.5s 0-60 run with no launch. I think BMW did an outstanding job of removing any lag there is.
@@DMCarReviews I am talking about responsiveness, not power, not acceleration rate. Responsiveness is a reaction time on control input. If I floor M550 and s4 while idling at a traffic light - m550 will take longer to start accelerating at maximum rate. But once it gets the boost it will be of course accelerating faster, due to much higher power to weight.
@@PavloRiabchuk That's why you don't just mash your pedal in. Apply it light and quick, and the car will move instantly.
SUV...
Whoops...
