Autogefühl great video of the Bmw m550ix. .but are you doing a review of the M760i also..that car sets new standards between luxury elegance and sportscar drive.
They've nailed it. Finally, exactly what I want. Full luxury with M power, not "screaming for attention". Definitely "sporty" but not overstated. Perfect!
Excellent review - my wife and I just took delivery of our M550i and we love it!
What's the consumption like? Not driving it full speed, rather normal.
12.1
Great performance and sound of the V8 👍
I´m an Audi fan but the new generation of the "5er" is on a new level 🔥
What a beautiful car full of new tech and I'm sure it's a pleasure to drive it, lucky for those that can afford it.
A friend got one of these for a weekend from his company, i had the pleasure to ride with him.
This car is incredible, perfect mix of luxury and raw power.
I would buy one instantly, the „one“ car for all my needs.
Well said Thomas, you were right in saying we didn't expect otherwise. That said: the all out performance on the Autobahn in the M550i was pleasing to see nonetheless. I think the next M5 will be next level, it will have to be in order to trump this car. Another top notch video from Thomas and Autogefühl!
+Dan Murphy 👏👌👏
THANK YOU! So many reviews do not show the drivers arm rest! You are so relaxing to listen to.
🙏🙏
Great review Thomas! I own a 2014 550i xDrive and love it, although I wish I could drive it properly on the Autobahn, but sadly in the US we are constrained to 65 MPH on crappy, pothole infested roads up here in the northeast. Looks like this is an improvement on an already great car. Cheers.
Thomas - a quick question if you don't mind: Do you film at different locations where you are able to borrow these vehicles,, or are you filming in one steady location? Cheers.
Your Reviews are always the most detailed Thomas! Your voice is always soothing and nice to listen to, a relaxed yet enthusiastic review approach is very!
On another note, that BLUE paint!!!!!!!!!!!
+Baharshatri Rashid 👏👏👏👏
Thank you Thomas.. been eagerly awaiting this one..
great review btw
enjoy :)
I think you guys are wrong the rear wheel steering is available in this model
See other comments, indeed it does not belong to the M550i package, but you can get it optional.
autogefhul reviews are just perfection.. just missing a review of night drive for testing the lights quality and the interior ambiant lighting.
+loo lolo 😎
This is a beautiful car and this color is handsome.
The color looks remarkably similar to my gorgeous 2005 330Ci in MysticBlau Metallic. IMHO the best color for these cars!
One of the most atmospheric, intelligent and best reviews I have ever seen. I would give you 100 thumbs up if I could!
+ExtremeDeathman 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👍
After 4 months of ownership, I finally reached the end of the 1000 mile break-in period. Now for the fun part. Mild mannered Clark Kent wrapper with Superman potential is how to best describe this M550. Loud when you want; quiet when you need to be a grown up. Added the 20” 5 spoke wheels, a must to give this classically designed sedan some attitude. All black of course. Didn’t know what to expect when I purchased it, but it is truly an enjoyable automobile. Beastly and scary when it throws you back in your seat with a tromp of the right pedal. The old-school V8 rumble feels a bit American vs German. So far, I’m happy with the purchase.
thanks for the feedback!
Do you still own the car, any troubles at all?
Excellent video...I own a 2016 BMW 550i MSport package, executive package, driver assistance package and am considering a 2018...thanks for explaining what the M550i consists of.
You can love or hate BMW but It's damn good car!
Great car, great review, thank you Thomas!
+Łukasz Ślusarczyk 👍👍
Very elaborated video, I really enjoyed watching!
Just love this very BMW M550i, great, elegant colour and fabulously beautiful alloy wheels.
And I absolutely second your opinion - I would always go for this one rather than the M5.
The latter is just far too aggressive both sound- and stylingwise and lacks every elegance.
No matter what size is your bank account - one should always stick to a certain level of understatement.
thanks! Yeah indeed. Full review of the M5 is coming up soon and in that review i ll also compare it to the 550i!
Thomas I have to say that this is my favorite channel! Awesome review
+Komodospitfire 🏁🏁🏁
Best middle size sedan at the moment.
This car would be enough performance for me. I wouldn't go for the M5 over this.
because you cannot afford one
The M5 is generally undrivable in the states. own a 550 ix and before an M5. Got nothing to do with affordability. Just a more comfortable day to day car, unless you just want to be a showoff and the envy of other petrolheads in your neighborhood.
Me too. They're taking the car around on roadshows at the moment. I will be seeing it on the 24th of May in Philly. They are showing it to loyal customers (you are either in an M5 or 550 ix now).
No breaking period, but you are advised to let the warm up process happen each time you start up cold for the first 2000 miles. Yes, got the whole works on the car. Almost 90k, but has all the conceivable extras offered on it.
disco dave lol what do you think m5 is? Ferrari? M5 is hardly more expensive than m550i
Thomas, your review helped me make the decision to purchase a 2018 Mediterranean Blue on Oyster Nappa leather M550xi. Excellent car with plenty of power and a big 180 degree departure away from my Prius of 11 years. Ambient lighting is kept on “Thomas Blue” of course!
Enjoy Richard and stay with us!
Hey Thomas :)
I agree about almost everything you've said but there is one thing you're wrong.
If you order the M Professional chassis you will get the all wheel steering as well as the roll compensation...
Anyway thanks for the review.
Best greetings from Hessen :)
You are right, thanks!
I'm not sure if I've ever seen a such complete review like this one! Congratz! TY! ;)
🙏🙏
LOVE the "Miami vice" soundtrack at the start of the review!
This color and spec looks beautiful af.
Great review Thomas, as usual:-)
This is a beautiful car. I've owned two BMW's, first the E39 540i for 20 years- never got over it. Absolutely gorgeous engine with 4.4L v8. Now the F02 750Li xdrive. Just feel that there are so many technological features in today's cars...it's almost crazy:-)!!!
Thanks for the review. Keep it up👍
750Li perhaps not a good choice, 540 is really a good car especially comfortable enough but agile in corners, 750 without L version does still struggles at 200+ in corners, Long wheel base i imagine would be worse although i only drove 750i but you can't go wrong anyway with a BMW
Rizwan Ul Haq who drives their 7 series 200+ around corners??
New video hype ! Thanks for the review Thomas
Absolutely gorgeous, and thanks for the very informative video. I'm going to look for a Mediterranean Blue with Tortufo Merino full leather in about 2-3 years. MSRP is almost $100k USD right now for a loaded version. I feel pretty confident I can find the build I want for no more than $50k. Depreciation can be a wonderful thing when you're not the one taking the hit!
Thanks! Try to get animal-free material, there should be Sensatec available or luckily the Alcantara seat if available in your market.
Enjoyed that, Thomas. Lovely car. The self-park function was a bit spooky!! Soon, I think cars will be so autonomous that they will go to work without us!!!😆
What an absolutely stunning car!
What a lovely BMW V8 sound and what a phenomenal background music starting at 1:23
Autogefühl is father of the game. Perfect review!
+Bongo Club feel free to recommend us! :)
Sure! :)
I just test drove the M550i today and it was absolutely spectacular but wasn't ready for a $950 US a month lease.
fciscokid I test drove one today...Yeah I'm not making that type of payment for a lease as well lol
A damn smart financial decisions.
Not a big fan of BMW but I really like how they've done the blank buttons for missing equipment next to the gear lever. On some cars like mercedes you can see that the buttons are missing for some equipmen and in a 100k e class that looks bad
My 2019 M550i xDrive is my 6th BMW, and is BY FAR the best car I've ever owned. A perfect blend of luxury, elegance, agility and tremendous power. I tested the M5 Competition and rejected it because it was too noisy and stiff. I tested the 540i and it was underpowered. The M550i is perfection. It is not a car, but a precision instrument.
👌
Wow this 5 looks fantastic. Blows the bloated E in looks. Definitely gonna consider getting one soon. Nice review hans!
lapirk what do you mean by a 'bloated' E?
@@MrLoesoe benz
The sound has a lovely V8 Rumble
Great and proper review and finally has BMW come with really manly exhaust sound.
thanks stick with us !
Thomas, great review, as usual, but rear steering is actually available as an option for M550i (I have ordered it). In Germany I think it is called "Adaptives M Fahrwerk Professional".
Yes it is, thanks for clearing that out. It doesnt come with the M550i package, they just want to have more money for it ;)
Great review, Thomas! Thanks much!
+Marius Oană 👍
It ran over the bag because it's not just the ultrasonic PDC sensors that it relies on but also the Connected Drive Camera that's mounted in front of the rear view mirror in combination of the radar settings, that didn't detect that bag. I think it's also the software that didn't detect that it was a human being or another car to solidify the remote control parking feature.
What. A. Car.
Thanks for this review, Thomas!
+Till Samenstrøm 👌🎬
Best youtube reviewer by far !
+El Chapo 👍👍👍
this 5 series in thomas blue looks absolutely stunning !
it does =)
The design is gorgeous!!!
Tnx Tomas
One more you did a good job and a good review of BMW
May I give some suggestion about bootlid closing force:
If you use a torque/force instrument and put in on the striker, then press automatic closing button on the bootlid and wait until bootlid hit the instrument you will get approx force for the bootlid. I think the force will be 70-90 Nm which is ok.
Greetings from Sweden!

2:36 this acceleration... and that was just the M550i ! Can't wait to see what the M5 could do !
Really great review Thomas! I'm looking forward to driving the one I ordered soon :-)
thanks and enjoy!
I don't know why, for some reasons, I read a lot of bad things about BMW. I mean, a lot. And I don't know why. Don't get me wrong, these are extremely beautiful cars. I simply love the look. I would buy one if I had enough money.
I like to see more reviews like is, at least we can see pro reviewer review a car not just blah blah blah. Thank you for your efforts.
Yes Thomas, the Mediterranean Blue is a winner!
I must confess! If "I" wanted to buy a sporty car here in America, it's either a Caddy or a German brand since as of this model year, The U.S. does not make a interior large enough for my height! I'm 6'4" tall and am disappointed with all U.S. makers of cars since nobody makes a decent car for taller folks anymore! I do however LOVE this 550 BMW!
It looks and sounds very good, but after a lot of trouble with a BMW a few years ago I am now a Merc man, it's a E class AMG for me over this one
Great review. Very up close and personal with the car. Learned good things about the car.
appreciated, recommend us!
Starker Review! Sehr gut gemacht.
Vielen Dank!
@@autogefuehl Sehr sympathisch , informativ und eine gute Art (Sprache, Betonung etc.). Hast ein neues Abo!
Great review as always. BMW had better do something about the remote parking feature as you showed it is not 100% working as it should when it ran over that bag the first time round. They should do a firmware or software update for all cars that have this feature as soon as possible.
probably it is programmed mainly not to face walls, walls give better echo feedback
Great Review! Very good to gain information before potential buying
There are two usb ports in this car, one of them is near wireless charging unit
Great review for a great car! your work is better and better.
M550 looks great especially with this Med Blue color.
Amazing performance.
M550 or M3?
I have 520 msport its fn wicked
He mentions the M550i does NOT have the ability to have rear wheel steering. At least in the US we do have this avaliable in the M550i luckily. Makes a huge difference
Yes it is possible to get it with an optional package
Geiler Sound! Schönes Review mal wieder
Vielen Dank!
Top review. When can you review the M550d? Can't wait for that...
+Patrick Bloemen thanks! It's not that it would be much different.
2:35 you trolled that van behind you LOL
This is a beast but a beautiful beast. Thanks Thomas, great review.
thanks stick with us!
Excellent review. Such a good salesman I'm ready to buy one, even though I can't afford it!
hehe =) You ll also be fine with a base version
Wonderful car and excellent review.
Thank you 🙂
I love my F10 550i, but the new 550i just blows it out of the water in every way possible.
Amazing Thomas. Thank you!
Please show us those alcantara seats, we'd like to see em so much.
+Yung Katsu yes i d love to!
would rather have this than the current M5, i know someone who has it and it loses grip even at 150km/h, he had it tuned and has 600hp++
Sry kid I dont drive a bicycle like you, I am old enough to have a driving licence
Also have driven cars like Maserati Granturismo, while you keep driving that Toyota Corolla -89
fantastic video. Great job.
thanks !
LOVE the colour. Probably my next car (at least the colour)
this car is really incredibly beautiful
The car looks great and sounds great from the outside but, based on the video, I am unsure about the engine sound from inside. But I know that we cannot fully judge the sound from a recorded video. Still, my current favourite BMW for both interior and exterior sound is the BMW M2.
Styling is such a matter of personal preference. This car is elegant and appealing, with simple but beautifully proportionate lines. And then, for me, much of that is spoiled by that chunk of chrome on the trailing edge of the front brake vent. Why chrome there?
Great review (as usual).
+Steve Grooms thx steve!
i find it more beautiful than the seven series. really really beautiful car. i think i love the E class and S class but its really more beautiful than the e class sedan version only cus the E
class coupe is better for me especially the interior.
what a review. i fall in love with the car. it is really mentally hard to choose between german cars.
STUNNING car
appreciated, feel free to recommend us!
BMW has got its mojo back! Very nice car.
Hi Thomas! Good review, as always :) BTW is there any chance for some BMW Alpina reviews? I know they are rather small exclusive brand, but it might be interesting as alternative for high end BMW M cars.
Hey Gordon, thanks! No they think their buyers would only read print magazines
Oh well, i think they're wrong. Internet and social media are the future and a must for any car producer right now. Thanks for reply anyway!
I had and F10 M5 and an F10 550. The 550 was a better riding, quieter, everyday car. The gearbox in the M5 was not up to par w the rest of the car, it was noisy when on the phone. I've raced cars professionally for 25 years and none of these big ass sedans are good track cars. I just ordered an M550i from BMW of Murrietta and am excited that BMW built something between the last two F10s I owned.
Thanks for the review Thomas! As you are an experienced driver in many countries, what's your opinion on the usefulness of these powerful cars in general these days? Especially when there is no autobahn around as in most countries. In my home country (the Netherlands) we barely see cars with such strong engines anymore as it's mostly viewed as an unnecessary and perhaps outdated concept.
+Tom thanks! Not necessary of course
The exterior design is actually better than the E class. The problem is, It's just not different enough from the previous model.
Thomas, please do M550d review. It'd be interesting to compare these 2 cars.
Awesome car and an awesome review, as always :)
+Bart Coopman 👏👏👏

Love your presentations, when will you do the 2020 facelift of the 5 series?
Seen our preview? Driving probably in a couple of months

Anyone noticed at 26:25 bmw "forgot" to paint the aluminium inside of the trunk? that car looks strange compared to the attention on detail trough the rest of it...
Good pickup. On mine that’s carpeted, but yes not painted.
To me BMW is leading the way in car design , great looking car !
M5 is a must have; but in the real world, this is more than adequate!
Thomas, the reason the interior sound has so much bass is because most of it is fake. It's synthesized engine noise (not piped in recorded noise as others have thought) but actually synthesized and piped in through the speakers. It's too bad. Sounds artificial.
thanks 4 the info, I'll talk with them about that
Styling is conservative, but still well executed. It's a handsome car, no doubt about it. It just lacks some emotion, imo. The performance is undisputed, though. Great review, btw! I'm subsribing.
welcome !
Interesting that in this post you choose the M550i over M5 while in your M550i v M5 post dated 18 June 2021 you chose the M5. Wonder why you changed your mind?
it genuinly does look beautiful!
I wonder about the reliability of all this technology
I've done 200,000km and no issues
@@danielson1989 you still own the car, buying one with over 200,000km what to look out for ?
@@videoMYcar I did purchase my G30 new but this is what issues I had along the way.
The G30 suffered alot with the Air conditioner evaporator under the dash, I would recommend to ask if it's been replaced before. Mine has failed twice now and BMW has covered it both times. Passengers side engine mount factory standard one can be weak with the diesel engine. Interior wise nothing failed and I'm very respectful to my car so I treat the leather seats 1 per week and vaccum the car fortnightly and wash her weekly. I had and have two BMW the went over 200,000km. My F10 had no issues until 230,000km with the water pump failing my current car the G30 on the issues listed above and its at 200,891km
@@danielson1989 thanks for your input, yours is the M550i ? Thats the one i am considering to buy
@@videoMYcar I'd love the M550i but mine is the 520d
GReat reviews! Plz keep up!
Will do when you support us :)
I just wish BMWs are more reliable because their cars are really gorgeous.
nice ride Thomas but I prefer the E63S AMG,
Great review. Thanks! Sounds incredible. Seems to dominate the AMG E43.
thanks! Also tune in to our M5 review: ruclips.net/video/mWS8yZcdrcE/видео.html
Great review!
In my opinion, the best incarnation of the 5-series is the Alpina B5 Biturbo, would be very nice with a Thomas-style review of it! :)
thanks!
In contrast to BMW, Alpina thinks they only have customers who read reviews on paper.
Excellent comprehensive review. they should give you a small clip microphone for the entire review, you are not interviewing football players on the pitch
+Giuseppe Angelo we do have several microphones however this was of course intentional because that was more background noise and would possibly expect in this case it was better to use the handheld microphone
Autogefühl ok, that makes sense. Keep up the great work, looking forward to more reviews. Thanks
ruclips.net/video/q8mbwezd_VY/видео.html
Sounds pretty synthetic in my ears. Liked the old one more.
Alex Mayer that is because it IS synthetic BMW has been faking sounds in all their new cars
So does Mercedes and Audi, so what's your point?
mercecdes and audi pipe the engine sound itself into the cabin with engineering. BMW explicitly plays fake noise through the speakers. I think i know which one is more "dishonest"
Alex Mayer
"Pipe" in what way? The bmw also reads the engine to dynamically produce the sound. If pipe through means just open a hole to make the sound louder then it's obviously not synthetic, but I know for sure that at least some Audis just use the speakers.
