im interested to see the g90 m5 i really hope it can improve on this. I dont think these 5 series are that bad but they are just too big IMO. and the new E class blows it out the water. and im not even a merc fan.
Great review! Sadly, the U.S. market does not get the comfort seats, thus the headrests, the front seat leg extenders, and the back seat half-fold are manual instead of power. The U.S. market also doesn't get the Integral Active Steering, 4-wheel steering, and anti-roll stabilizer. We also don't get the Digital 4-Zone Rear Climate Control, M Style Seat belts, and front massage seats. Lastly, it is truly disappointing that BMW decided to get rid of the door sills. I enjoyed the door sills, especially the illuminated ones. Come of BMW, even the Honda Accord has them. In my opinion, the BMW has gone cheap, we get less, but pay a lot more. Cheap plastic door panels, hard dashboards, cheap plastic window switches, and no Matrix LED lights.
@@markus8484 It is not always about which engine you get. In the U.S., they are charging a lot for a car with much fewer options or standard features. Numbers don’t lie, especially when you do the math, you realize the U.S. market is getting robbed.
@@user-gy7cy2it4p sorry but actually the opposite is the truth. Okay maybe in the G60 series you get less options availible (that could change tho) but in Germany you always get bone empty base cars from BMW in the base. You always have to pay for options (example electric seat control). The US always got much better optioned cars in base trim. In the past and now as well.
Same here. I feel the previous G30 540i Body and Trim is more aggressive and sexier. Not a fan of the futuristic boxy look, a bit cartoonish. Why did we start hiding the exhaust? xD The inside is cool though.
This looks really good. It looks way better the counter audi and mercedes offerings. Also that 0-60 in 4.4 sec we all know is probably alot faster then that with how bmw works 😂

@@kobekiko475 You seem about 12 years old, but sure! The BMW’s of late are nowhere near the quality or the driving standards that they were 10+ years ago
I have generally preferred the appearance of most BMW models with the M-sport package, but for the new 5 series the opposite is true. That huge black underbite grill is such a weird feature, it looks terrible. The standard 540 front end looks much cleaner. It also comes with 19 inch wheels which is too big in my opinion, 18 is the ideal size for a few reasons. 20 is bordering on ridiculous. I also prefer the chrome grill surrounds, as the blacked out trim makes the already too big grill look even bigger. BMW's design department has really gone off the deep end. I understand they want to go in a new direction, and appeal more to the Chinese market, but most of the new designs are mediocre at best, an abomination at the worst.
Bmw has destroyed such a beautiful master piece. It looks like every other sedan on the road. I’m so glad I got the last good looking 5series with the g30
Great review! Not sure why there aren’t many reviews of the 2024 540 out there, it’s been out for a few months now. There are plenty of 530 and electric reviews. I’m waiting for the 550e version, coming out in spring which is gonna have the same power train as the X5 50e. 483 hp and probably .5 seconds quicker then the 540 and have about 40 miles ev range for around town. Please review that one, the 550e when it hits dealers!
First review I've found of 2024 540i , thanks for this. A bit disappointed that BMW didn't offer some additional luxury features on this model over the 530i. Also, the lack of rear climate controls (like the European models) is a bit hard to swallow at this price point. Good job on the review!
I wonder if you can change any of the factory exhaust? We carry the MST catted downpipe for the B58 cars. Would be cool if that fit the new 5 series. Would wake up the sound a ton
I waited till I was able to spec out the G60 540 before I decided on the G80 M3c. It end up being just few grand’s difference for the way I want to spec it. Also after having two 5 series in a row it was time to get something smaller again.
Got the same color but red interior looking amazing but i only got the m package and illuminated grille i feel the front look better this way rather the full blacked grille but i regretted not getting one with the premium package not sure also if the m package pro make any difference in performance?

I've driven one myself and a few points I disagree with... the visibility is not that great, it's adequate, but it's not great - B pillars are rather thick. Because the car is now taller (due to the fact that the same body is used for both EV and ICE cars, ICE cars have several inches of height added to the bottom of the vehicle to house the battery, which ICE cars obviously don't have) the seating position is very different from what it used to be like, it almost, not quite, but almost like an SUV in that regard, really takes getting used to. All in all: really capable chassis, great engine/transmission combo, but geared more towards comfort rather than driving pleasure
@@dhruvgarg2737 absolutely, friend, lag minimal if any, especially compared to audi's 2.9 V6 (the one on s6/rs5). Engine is also smoother than mercs M256 (e53 AMG). Don't expect there to be truck loads of torque as with good old N63, though . Shame they dropped the V8...

You can have the 550e with the same b58 engine but it’s hybrid. The engine is a little less powerful but the electric motor means that in the end it still makes 490 hp !

Buy the model you like and enjoy it, and let others do the same. Everyone has different preferences and tastes..
The ultimate driving machine, where you just sit, push a lot of screen buttons and kind of steer. 😅
Only thing's i wished they did better is the Hitler '-tache like radar sensor which moves the front camera off to the right hand side of the grille......couldn't that be kept on the upper middle section of the grille,🤔🤔
The camera is right in the middle of the grill though.
@@BrosFOURRSpeedIt's off centre though it should be on the septum(if you imagine the grille as nostrils) it's better integrated on the 3er, and apologies on saying it's was off to the right, rather than the left as seen in the vid, I forgot you guys have the steering wheel on the wrong side 😉
@@omerta2002 the forward facing camera on the front? It’s right in the middle.. steering wheel doesn’t effect that 😁
@@BrosFOURRSpeedThe split in between the left & ride hand side of the grille is the centre.
@@omerta2002 yup, that’s where the camera is..
Going to lose over 20K in value the first year lol
Yeah probably lol
Entire car feels cheap in a video
Id disagree for sure.
I just got one, and can attest that it’s very premium and expensive feeling once you’re in it. Lol Way better than the previous generation
@@CappCreative Very true!
I had the G30 as well and believe the interior was superior looking to this. Moved to Audi but thinking about coming home! 😢 This car looks fine in my opinion..
Wish they moved to hatchback styling
Such a boring spec on this example.
It looks like crap. Not even expensive crap.
Why?
Absolutely ugly just like new 7 series
Not everyones taste. Audi and Mercedes cars still look pretty normal. But in person the new 5 series does look cool
@@japanwatchconnection I like it, again, not everyone’s taste.
@@japanwatchconnection everyone can have their opinion, these cars still sell to people who will enjoy them.
Nice car but it looks absolutely ugly
In person it's pretty cool tho
Interior is just disgusting
How so?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I really like the pre-lci interior of the G series (2020 to 2022) of BMW’s thin piping style of interior lighting, this 1.5” strip just looks cheap and over the top, and I am just not a fan of the lci panoramic screen, or panoramic screens in general.
That interior camera is a red flag for me🫠, what's that for ??
What camera?
