M J e39 looks better, has a better sounding V8, is lighter and has a manual transmission. E39 is far more immersive to drive compared to the fat, unreliable ugly F10. And a lot of people own E39s actually, grow up, old cars are better than new cars. They're easier to fix as well.
They could. But it's not in their interest. Apple does it best. It's the best iPhone ever made. No need for comparison where comparison might be to their detriment.
BS Everyone does, i feel like the only one who likes the 7th gen more. It's an absolute upgrade in every single way. Lighter, faster, more efficient, better tech, yall just prefer the looks of the old one. Objectively speaking, the new ones are simply better.
Please make these videos longer, especially the history videos. It is so interesting to see how the legendary cars were made and to listen to the people who made them.
To be honest, the new G30 5 Series has some exterior similarities with the E60 5 Series. - The bonnet is closing on the kidney grills like the E60. - That means the BMW emblem is on the bonnet like the E60. - and in my opinion, the agressive look from the E60 is also to be seen in the new design of the headlights of the G30. The F10 has a more smiling looking design, while the G30 is way more agressive. - and as BMW stated in this video. The taillights are more stretched into the side like the E60. (although the design is a little bit different.)
@@DexxonGamer77 The inside of the old one was way better. The LCD screen was integrated, the new one looks like someone pasted an iPad on the dashboard. Terrible.
LegendInThaMakin right...so sharing the much older variants makes sense? I'm not one of those older cars are far better-new cars are shit type of guys however when BMW is doing a series of videos paying lineage to the history of the 5-series and skips two generations, doesn't make much sense. I was rather looking forward to seeing the E39 and E60 videos...The new car is a leap forward in technologies and interior quality/ styling.
Kevin Campos How about you just learn to read in order to save yourself some heartache. The title of the video very clearly states, 6th gen vs 7th gen. Why the hell would anyone click this expecting the e60? Plz explain that to me.
Yet the exterior of the sixth gen seems more appealing. Not sure why. They both look amazing of course. I think it's because of the angel eyes not being cut off like in the seventh gen. You're making it difficult for me to decide which will be my next BMW. :'D
I love the look of the new 5 series, and this is coming from someone who loved the 6th gen 5 series as well. It was hard to top, but BMW did it. The only thing I'm not sure about is the little scoop in the body right behind and on top of the rear doors. Also, I do think they should've kept the LED strip part of the DRLs that lies on top of the two semi-circles that was present in the 6th gen. Overall, I love the new 5 series. Can't wait to see the next generation 6 series gran coupe. It's already the best looking sedan ever made, but there are a few design elements that are looking dated (like the headlights/front bumper area, and the reflectors beneath the tail lights, which I'd like to see removed). Can't wait. Good job, BMW!
The exterior design of the 6th generation F10 5 series was better. The rear lights of the new one looks like they came off a Honda Civic. One the other side the new interior is impressive.
BMW, in all respect of your great machines, the 6th generation wins in many aspects of Your own autimotive heritage. But the E39 is the ultimately built BMW. IT IS A GOD OF YOU AND TRIUMPHS ALL FUTURE GENERATIONS👌🔥🔥☝☝
I recently bought a 2013 f10 truly the most solid of the 6th generation. I will be upgrading to a g30 7th generation in a few years as long as the 2017 has no issues
This video exist because even BMW himself think its too similar. BMW do something with your Exterior and Interior, otherwise you will losing the race, 2016 global luxury car sales figure is the best example!
The F10 still looked pretty good up until the G30, good Lord the difference is stunning! Easily on par with the latest E-Class this time, except it looks far better on the outside too
every generation has been incremental improvement (if you can call it that) and this proves it. Wider tail lights, i liked the old grill better. just changes, no need to make major changes to an already perfect formula.
I think that f10 is way more "bmw" than this one. F10 had elegant look, while e60 had badass look. e39 was combination of both. And this 7th generation makes me buy e class because this looks more like a hyndai, honda, kia than bmw. Of course that is from my perspective, but i think that a lot of people would agree with me.
Me and my friend both have owned 5-series and are generally BMW enthusiasts, and we can't tell the difference on the street and laughed at the video because BMW actually needed to make a comparison video to highlight the difference, because the car appears to be a weak attempt at face lift branded new generation. BMW had so far revolutionized the definition of sedan with each new generation but this time it fell flat on their face.
Dang idk which one to get. I’m not sure if I should get that 2016 5 series or a 2017 one. I love the interior for the 2017 one but the exterior of the 2016 looks wayy better to me.
I think the mark of good design is how you hide the lines of construction. When they went to front hood looking like they just cut a line across the front of the car in the 6th, they messed up big. The hiding the line by having the hood cut across the lights and then the bean grills is how it should be done with the badge being on the hood.
#BMW So, in your modern sense, facelift and adding some double lines, little change headlights, it means that you have created brand new fifth series, right..? )
Yupp. You don't need to change anything drastically and if I'm not wrong the F10 is the most succesfull 5-series in terms of sales. Why would they want to drastically change it?
Yeah looks better especialy the front lights and grills but really not that different to me they played it safe. It's also not fare showing the M package version.
man the f10 5 series may just be one of the greatest and most beautiful cars ever made no cap
The f15 X5 is the most beautiful X5. Which exterior looks so great, even better than G generation of X5. And X6 is, too.
Can't wait to buy it in 7 years time.
like new..only drive by grandmother with just 320 000 km
David C Just get a E39 5 series. 530 or 540i. Easily one of the most fun non //M cars BMW has ever made.
dzonikg rolled back to 160 000 km 😂
1001speedster no one wants to drive that old car. Get an f10
M J e39 looks better, has a better sounding V8, is lighter and has a manual transmission. E39 is far more immersive to drive compared to the fat, unreliable ugly F10. And a lot of people own E39s actually, grow up, old cars are better than new cars. They're easier to fix as well.
I love the F10 design. Simple classic BMW. It stands out.
furiousgtz true
I don't think it quite stands out, it rather looks like most cars, especially the 3 series of the same generation
furiousgtz yeah the elongated tail lights look like shit
f10 looks outdated, big difference to g30 in terms of technologies and design
Hate the g30's front
7th: "Can I copy your homework?"
6th: "Yeah sure, but make you change it up a bit so nobody notices"
LOL.. very funny. why should anyone trade the 6th for the 7th generations?...the lights or the kidney grill...
LOLOLOL
F10 was the ultimate BMW!
JohnS1000RR is...
More Cost cutting initiatives on newer models to be competitive
The interior design of the 7th generation is awesome, but I prefer the exterior of the 6th generation... It's just perfect!
Agreed!!
reverse is for me I choose 6th for interior and 7th for exterior.
Especially 6th gen. stationwagon is a perfect melange of strechy elegance and stocky sportiness.
Boring
Actually prefer the F10... so simple yet classy.
Eric Yui safest five series therefore the best
simple and cheap
Yeah!
@@andranik_torosyan yeah, hope this new carmakers “feature” will be past in near future. Trashes any car interior, lol
Every manufacturer in the world should do videos like this one comparing their outgoing models with the new ones!
Great informative video
Lol and now they don’t do it anymore
@@mihnealazar7039 exactly 😭😭
They could. But it's not in their interest. Apple does it best. It's the best iPhone ever made. No need for comparison where comparison might be to their detriment.
F10 looking like a Boss on the road .
I still think the 6th gen was the most beautiful sedan ever made
i agree, we have one thats about 8 years old but something makes me wanna keep the car for 20 more years
am i the only one, who likes the 6th gen more? :(
BS you're not alone :'(
BS I too like the previous gen exterior more. However the interior and tech of the new model are nicer.
BS Everyone does, i feel like the only one who likes the 7th gen more. It's an absolute upgrade in every single way. Lighter, faster, more efficient, better tech, yall just prefer the looks of the old one. Objectively speaking, the new ones are simply better.
BS me too Bro
It has always been this way with me with most new BMW models. Takes some time to get used to them.
the g30 looks amazing though I actually caught myself looking at the f10 more... its just stunning.
The 6th gen will always be a legend
the 6th generation is more beautiful. the front is more agressive :) i hope the next will be better :)
You are out of your mind ]
I bet your disappointed
Please make these videos longer, especially the history videos. It is so interesting to see how the legendary cars were made and to listen to the people who made them.
I got the new M5!
On the Need for Speed No Limits.
Me too on Payback
shut up
The f10 M5 was an absolute beauty, not really sure how BMW will be able to top that
The 6th generation (F10) has my favourite tail light of any car. Please bring it back @BMW!
Honestly, I like the 6th generation look more.. honestly...
I am a loyal BMW fan..I had driven E60 530i as my first car, and I am driving F10 550i now...
Love the new 5er. I'd like to see the new M5!
6th generation bmw was also stunning
f10 still by far the most gorgeous 5 series.
Both are very beautiful cars.
Mendez yes and no
rake a look to audi and mercedes and you will change your mind
@@chip662 nope
I really liked the 6th gen rear design.
Agreed! This maybe my only complaint!
Last generation BMW taillights are way more elegant and sexier...
lvlaple4Ever new generation tail lights looks more like coupe style, they are not so aggressive
lvlaple4Ever at the end new gen side profile is way better than old one!
the 7th gen interior is bettr but the xterior is bettr in 6gen.actually the curves on the bonnet makes it glamorous and sexy.
I agree!
Yes correct
Ritik Jain The F90 M5 bonnet looks great.
I have a feeling they made this video because of the opinion that the new G30 looks to similar to the F10.
To be honest, the new G30 5 Series has some exterior similarities with the E60 5 Series.
- The bonnet is closing on the kidney grills like the E60.
- That means the BMW emblem is on the bonnet like the E60.
- and in my opinion, the agressive look from the E60 is also to be seen in the new design of the headlights of the G30. The F10 has a more smiling looking design, while the G30 is way more agressive.
- and as BMW stated in this video. The taillights are more stretched into the side like the E60. (although the design is a little bit different.)
The old one looked better - inside and outside.
Inside?😂
@@DexxonGamer77 The inside of the old one was way better. The LCD screen was integrated, the new one looks like someone pasted an iPad on the dashboard. Terrible.
@@TaipeiGeek ? In my opinion its like one the new one is 3x more expensive.
@@DexxonGamer77 Lmao sticking a BMW iPad doesn’t make it better, and who cares about price when it’s not quality
I'm sorry BMW but where are the E39 and E60 videos? You stopped at the E34.
yeah, i was looking for e60 so hard.
Kevin Campos They're old, keep it moving.

Plz explain that to me.
i cant put my finger on it but i love the old f10 more
I like the way the screen is more integrated in the dash in the F10, I don’t like the way the screen is on the G30
I work for BMW I'm an apprentice technician and we've had a couple of these g30s in and they are beautiful, beautiful cars
I like the new BMW 5 series build quality, infotainment system and the seats design better from the previous generation. Keep up the good work BMW!!
Ultimusss LoL what about the plastic grills and fake leather steering wheel??
all of 5series BMW's are brilliant!
this car has an incredible aesthetic to it. so beautifully designed inside and out. and the performance is going to be crazy!
The 6th model it's just awesome, special the bonet lines that gives much attitude and a agresive look that represent the one and only KING BMW🦈
Time flies.
F10 is better looking...
FAKTOI nah it looks outdated now, g30 is more agressive
@@alexzhou7 E39 waaaaaaaaaaay better WAAAAAAAAAAY BETTER both F10 both G30
AnotherMaggot nah
6th gen in night is better
Okan yazmacılar g30 has a nice fat ass. Who is g30 designer j-lo??
The 6th generation bmw 5 series is best of all time, the perfect sedan, just loot at hood, how beautiful is it.
Unspecced 6th gen vs. Fully loaded 7th gen. Great comparison
imo 6th generation looks so much more aggresive from the front. 7th generation is looking more like a 7th series limo type of car.
Yet the exterior of the sixth gen seems more appealing. Not sure why. They both look amazing of course. I think it's because of the angel eyes not being cut off like in the seventh gen. You're making it difficult for me to decide which will be my next BMW. :'D

I like six generation. rear lights are too much stretched on sides
The exterior design of the 6th generation F10 5 series was better. The rear lights of the new one looks like they came off a Honda Civic. One the other side the new interior is impressive.
The bonnet of the F10 is so muscular, its sad they ditched it in the new one!
and the tail lights looks better on the F10 as well
heystirke300 bmw you can not improve on perfection, ask Porsche
I was thinking the 6th gen is better, then at 1:45 I was 100% certain that's it's definitely better then the newer model!
BMW, in all respect of your great machines, the 6th generation wins in many aspects of Your own autimotive heritage.
But the E39 is the ultimately built BMW. IT IS A GOD OF YOU AND TRIUMPHS ALL FUTURE GENERATIONS👌🔥🔥☝☝
F10 looks better at night
Yes the f10 is the best bmw look at night!
e60 is the best looking bmw at night
especially with the headlights turned on, looks super mean, the g30 looks weird with its headlights on
Lux Lum way better
No f30 is the best look at night
I recently bought a 2013 f10 truly the most solid of the 6th generation. I will be upgrading to a g30 7th generation in a few years as long as the 2017 has no issues
6th generation rear is way better.
Arvin Peopleinlove how
Personally like both the front & and rear of the previous gen.
Arvin Peopleinlove nope. Split tailpipes...
No
e39 is the best generation.
1001speedster e34 for ever ❤
E34*
Kaisuke971 wow👍
agree
Hell nah. E12 Looks better
There will never be a better generation than the 6th
Raghd .M true
True dat!
you mean 3rd gen
Raghd .M Exactly !!!!
EXTERIOR WISE, Cuz inside the new M5 is better, come on guys, admit it
Amazing vehicles, cant wait to be able to buy one of these, but as a college student I'll stick with my e34 for now
That was a fantastic, well made comparison!
I like the hood of the F10 better. Hope to keep driving my F10 for a long time!
This video exist because even BMW himself think its too similar. BMW do something with your Exterior and Interior, otherwise you will losing the race, 2016 global luxury car sales figure is the best example!
Thank you for your valuable feedback!
lol
AndrewEarns i agreee! Merc did better. In my country, the sales of merc had overtake bmw.
thats nonsense. BMW 5series was already stunning and so they improved only little things. The old mercs looked like shit and now they closed the gap.
JigSilver say watever u wanna say. Merc sales still overtakes bmw 💁💁
The 5 Series 6th Generation definitely has a better look from the exterior side. Overall, the 5 Series 7th Generation resemble more like a 3 Series.
What color name is the one for the F10?
This was a really helpful and well done video... please make more of these for other models.
The F10 still looked pretty good up until the G30, good Lord the difference is stunning! Easily on par with the latest E-Class this time, except it looks far better on the outside too
initially didn't think i liked it but after looking at it more it really is good looking
every generation has been incremental improvement (if you can call it that) and this proves it. Wider tail lights, i liked the old grill better. just changes, no need to make major changes to an already perfect formula.
I wish every car had a video like this
6th generation was actually the best looking of all. i dont think it'll get ugly as it ages. new models might just be trying too hard.
I think that f10 is way more "bmw" than this one. F10 had elegant look, while e60 had badass look. e39 was combination of both. And this 7th generation makes me buy e class because this looks more like a hyndai, honda, kia than bmw. Of course that is from my perspective, but i think that a lot of people would agree with me.
Luka Sh Yeah only 1 person xD
ThePgR777 hahahhaa it seems so
u said exactly what i had in my mind!
Luka Sh g30 makes me jump ship to model S. Tesla time.
I got the 2015 Mercedes Benz C-Class Sport Package and I completely would like to get the 7th gen for sure in later of life!
The exterior of 6th Gen looks better somehow.. more road presence than the new one..
2:40 Black(F10) and cream color(G30) back seat. Elma ile elmayı karşılaştırmalısınız.
When bmw was ❤ now 😢
Yeees
This a very good video!!!!
wheres the e39 history video ?
6th look beautiful in 2024 it's my car 520i 2016
at that time E39 was very special BMW even the e60 but the new generations felt normal like a Toyota corolla in my country:)
Me and my friend both have owned 5-series and are generally BMW enthusiasts, and we can't tell the difference on the street and laughed at the video because BMW actually needed to make a comparison video to highlight the difference, because the car appears to be a weak attempt at face lift branded new generation.

This is how every car needs to be demonstrated. Great job there BMW.
Hi Anuj, thanks for your nice feedback!
i like it alot even though e39 is my favorite
iamjesper i enjoyed so much with the e39, it's a nice car.....compared to W211
The e60 will always be my favorite
Sorry but the best 5 series is from 2004 to 2010 all those e60 are amazing I kind like a little bit the 6th gen but that 7 gen is no good for me
How to set up the finger gesture in the g30 ?
What an upgrade.
I can wait to get a BMW 5 Series 🚗😎👍
Dang idk which one to get. I’m not sure if I should get that 2016 5 series or a 2017 one. I love the interior for the 2017 one but the exterior of the 2016 looks wayy better to me.
Front 6th generation
Back 7th generation
why did you not offer rear climate control and fully digital dash for the US models????
I think the mark of good design is how you hide the lines of construction. When they went to front hood looking like they just cut a line across the front of the car in the 6th, they messed up big. The hiding the line by having the hood cut across the lights and then the bean grills is how it should be done with the badge being on the hood.
Just highlights how wonderfully designed gen 6 was.
What happened to the 4th and 5th Gen 5 Series vids? I was really looking forward to them
Best looking 5 both inside and outside. Love the front lights and grill and the interior at night is stunning.
Thanks for the compliment, Steve. We appreciate that. :)
Bruh why does everyone keep saying the F10 looks better. Ik it looks good on the outside but the new generation is way better especially the interior
I’m in love with my 2013 535 x-drive
I just purchased a BMW and I LOVE IT!!!!!!
Nothing beats the old bmw’s

people complaining it hasnt changed enough. its interior has been refurbished and its design has gotten sharper what else do u want?
