The bmw f10 is definitely my favorite bmw ever, the G30 is a bit refined or let’s say has modernised interior but the exterior of the f10 is more BMW than the g30. But at the end, my comment is subjective of course 🙂
Nice review. How would you compare the sound isolation regarding BMW's N47 engine in comparison to Mercedes W212 l4 diesels? Is the N47 too rattly in an F10? Noticeable vibrations? Thanks!
Bought one in Germany with around 94k km on odometer, but manual one (which is even better for me) for 14.200 euro. Year of manufacturing is 2013. There was around 1k euro import fee when I was registering it in my country, but still a lot cheaper than in Philippines. I feel like you guys are getting ripped-off here.
Cool review! Would you say they are reliable/not too expensive in repairs? I know about the timing chain issues(Which even seems to be less common on F10 generation though) but is there any other big flaw you know of the engine? Except for timing chain I've heard it's supposed to be reliable. It's a beautiful car!
They are quite reliable just make sure you’re battery is always in tip too shape. The car tends to throw a crazy amount of fault codes and goes into auto parking brake engagements and/or limp mode the very moment the battery goes weak. For the engine, I also only know of the timing chain issue
@@KyleLiongCars Thats good to hear! Obviously I excpect higher maintenance costs on a german car but I just don't want like 5000 dollar repairs. I heard the timing chain is better on the updated N47T from 2012 but eitherway if i buy a high milage used one I'll prob change it to a new for peace of mind. Have also heard some problems with egr but people said BMW recalled all faulty ones
Not quite sure about prices over there in your country because some things are quite labor-intensive such as the timing chain issue. No problem for us here since labor is really cheap. Best also try to DIY haha! Just be careful not to destroy it yourself 😂😂
@@KyleLiongCars Haha yeah, I don't know much about cars so i won't even do oil changes myself hahaha! The cost of replacing a timing chain here in Sweden isn't too expensive in my opinion(Atleats not for a BMW) what would consider unacceptable is if i have to spend over half the cars prize on a repair. But thats probably extremly rare or even non-existent
I didn’t have it programmed na as it’s not really worth it. A single programming costs around 2500, and the programming is primarily to make your car electronics know when to charge and discharge your battery to prolong the battery’s lifespan. By prolong, it means probably extending the battery life by 1.5x longer at most. Given that I was able to buy the DIN 100 for just 6800 Pesos, the 1.5x longer life it will provide for a cost of 2500 Pesos is just not worth it. Every single electronic function works perfectly without the programming. Should you want to use a casa bough BMW AGM Battery that can last around 10 years, but will cost around 26-30K Pesos, that’s the only time I consider programming to be worth it. Hope this help :)
@@KyleLiongCars BIG help thank you so much! Can I just ask also if there were any fault codes or warnings when you changed the battery despite it working perfectly electronics wise?
Good mpg plus at least here in the Philippines, diesel’s around 10-12 Pesos or 0.21USD per Liters cheaper than gasoline making them a prime choice. It’s the opposite in the US though right?

Hi Kyle...watching your review in 2022 Nov. Well analysed...my request is ...could you use US Dollar amounts alongside Phillipino peso in other reviews so international viewers can get an approximate currency value to compare. Thank you, +1 sub and like on the way out.
One of the best-looking iterations of the 5-Series. Right up there with the E34.
True It’s a pretty good car caus I tried my friend’s one and it drive smoothly
Agree. I kinda like the E34 too. The E60 was a disaster haha
@@KyleLiongCars the e36 is pretty good to
I need to find one for review haha! Been wanting one for a while now
@@KyleLiongCars kinda hard to find sometimes I understand
Nice and detailed review!!
Love it!
The car was still handsome despite its age.
Thanks! Yep it sure held its looks well. Still looks new till this day
Yooooo I love this series this f10 is the best
It’s pretty good. Close to a G30 already
A very good review my friend..👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks
Fantastic review 👌🏾
Thank you 🤗
The bmw f10 is definitely my favorite bmw ever, the G30 is a bit refined or let’s say has modernised interior but the exterior of the f10 is more BMW than the g30. But at the end, my comment is subjective of course 🙂
I kinda agree with you on that
Love BMW’s, especially the new ones.
They look pretty good
can you do another review of 2000s cars
Sure I got a couple on the waiting list to be reviewed. Not sure when though :)
Excellent review
Thanks
Would you recommend buying f10 (2012-14) over a newer f30 (2014-2017) ?
F30 is more nimble, F10 is more comfy. Depends on your needs
for the 2litre engine , how many km can it travel per Litre petrol in average?
There are a lot of this F10 and G30 BMWs in the Pasig Area! Must be a good and reliable car! 👀
Reliability wise, I found them ok. I have another F10 myself, and so far so good
@@KyleLiongCars Time to save up for either! 😂🤣
I’m selling it too haha
Beautiful car
Thanks
@@KyleLiongCars for 1.2 m i think its a bargain and a diesel The value of that is priceless brother worth every penny.
Yes it is. I’m actually selling this right now for 1.32M neg. Will be willing to let it go to try another different body style hehe
what do you think about the n47 vs the b47?
Starex pls review grx
Hanap ako boss magpapahiram
Nice video. Did you had problems with EGR valve?
I didn't
Do we have an F10 Club Philippines?
Don't think so haha
HI.. what do u think of the 5 2.3 petrol F10 model?
Seeing as both the diesel and the 2.3L petrol have rather low power outputs for a car this heavy, I prefer the diesel’s torque
Nice review. How would you compare the sound isolation regarding BMW's N47 engine in comparison to Mercedes W212 l4 diesels? Is the N47 too rattly in an F10? Noticeable vibrations? Thanks!
Thanks! Not noticeable at all especially when you’re on the move. Never tried a diesel W212 so I can’t really compare
what type of that wheel ? so beautiful 🥰

Well welcome to the Philippine taxation system 🥲🥲
This car still looks fresh and elegant.
Yep. Looks new
Y is the engine cover shaking?
I probs wasn’t able to lock it properly after removing it to check underneath hahaha
@@KyleLiongCars lol. This was my wedding car (borrowed from a friend). Awesome torque!
Great choice! :)

Yeah I doubt that will happen haha unless you get one that’s terribly unmaintained
he is doing 0-100 km/h in the city hahahha , love it :)
I’m from the Philippines and my father has a BMW😊
Congrats
Hi can I know where you had your battery programmed into the system when you changed it? Thanks!

@@KyleLiongCars BIG help thank you so much! Can I just ask also if there were any fault codes or warnings when you changed the battery despite it working perfectly electronics wise?
Nope. Not a single fault. I have my own scanner and scanned it multiple times over a couple of drives to make sure
@@KyleLiongCars Thanks man! Super super helpful! Looking forward to you as the next Doug DeMuro of the Philippines! Cheers!
@@dominicescalona3075 No problem! Hope you enjoy all my upcoming vids as well
Sir 5m po price?
Brand new 5 Series more or less 5M dati
Hello what’s the difference between F10 N52 , N53 engines. Can both fit 5 series 530i my car engine is N53 b30A
Both should fit if I’m not mistaken. The N53 has direct injection while the N52 only has port injection.
I always love turbo diesels I want to get one eventually
Great decent performance for the economy they provide
@@KyleLiongCars true usually diesels get good mpg
Good mpg plus at least here in the Philippines, diesel’s around 10-12 Pesos or 0.21USD per Liters cheaper than gasoline making them a prime choice. It’s the opposite in the US though right?

Thanks! It changes all the time so still best to just consult Google for the time’s exchange rate :)
What a horrifically exceptionalist and defaultist thing to say 😭
beautiful car... handsome guy lol
Thanks haha
