I've been watching this video for a week now. I'm about to purchase this car and a BMW for the first time of my life. I have always been infatuated with this car. Even more so when I test drove it the first time. The only thing that has held me back is the high maintenance cost everyone talks about. But after talking to numerous friends who own one, I have learned that once you get one, you will never think of any other car the same.
I have a 2013 550i xDrive M-Sport with all the option packages including the Executive Package. Bought it CPO three years ago. It is the most amazing vehicle in every way. I couldn't imagine my life without it. It's that satisfying.
Yep this was refreshing to watch , great Vid , great format, the guy was good and best of all ...... NO pop up ads !!! and for THAT reason , im subscribing :)
I stumbled across you from my Suggestions list and I absolutely love the way you reviewed that thing. haha. So much pzazz. I'm beginning to hate all those experienced journalists who are overly critical about crap that they do not seem to have any idea what the engineers went through to make.
This guy doesn't make a big deal about the power the 550i produces, but it is absolutely incredible. It is power handed down to you from God. So smooth and refined.....passing ability and then some....and for a car of this size and weight....wow.
I just commented on a video saying that American reviewers were boring in comparison to Europeans ... but I forgot about Rosenthal. lol I like this guys reviews. Funny. Holds my interest. And he includes the CAR instead of himself. Good job.
We're located in Northern Virginia. The areas we filmed the video were on the GW Parkway in Alexandria Virginia and downtown Rosslyn in Arlington Virginia. Hope you enjoyed the video..:) Steve
I found this video while researching the new F10 BMW 535i! I had test driven a 2011 535i and 2012 535i both with the Sport Pkg. I also drove a 2012 535i w/xDrive, but didn't consider getting one because I already have an X5 for snow. I also test drove a 2011 Mercedes E350 (a very nice car), but my heart is with BMW. So, I got the 2012 535i which is my first new BMW. It is also the first car I have ever bought without test driving! Now that it's mine,...the drive home was so sweet!!
I had the opportunity to sit in on this filming. This truly is an awesome car. I am impressed how nice this video turned out. Compliments to the crew ! Check out the rest of the vids. I have invited these guys out to play at our driving events.
He comes close to explaining why BMW (and other german saloons) are so far ahead of anyone else, because every single detail is taken to perfection, and you dont realize that until you spend some time in one. Its not an immature car that shouts about one thing that it does good to make you forget it cant do anything else properly, its a car that you get to know as you own it. My family owned BMW's for past 20 years, and I cant see myself owning a different car, ever. I'd miss perfection.
My old man is leasing this. He and my mother are retired and its by far the best investment they made. The company takes care them like they were golden. The car is phenomenal to drive, very responsive and reliable. I personally don't like it, cause I prefer trucks. But Its really not just the car you pay for but the service, 24/7 service from BMW.
@kevinmsft - Thanks for watching our video and your feedback! I learned long ago that anytime you influence someone to your way of thinking or taking recommended actions that you're actually participating in a "sales" transaction of sorts. You're obviously trying to "sell" me on your opinions regarding the 5 series with your comments. So we're both salespeople at heart... though I certainly don't feel "glorified"..:) Hope you enjoy our other car "reviews"!!! - Steve
@Renntag -Thanks for the compliment. Glad to have ya "along for the ride"! We're looking forward to taking our show on the road...or "to the track" as it were. We've have a lot great cars to review so stay tuned..:) Steve srk7555 2 days ago
When I first saw the new F10 5 series I wasn't impressed. It looked like a big 3 series, but now I have changed my mind about this car. It's great! And I can't wait to test drive one.
Yup...I did. We wanted to take a different look at the vehicle with this video. The theme was to be able to enjoy more than just the performance and showcase the rest of the car from a more "chauffered" passenger point of view. We all know it's the "Ultimate Driving Machine"...so why tell people what they already know?! We're just taking a different approach here. Check out our other videos and you'll see more driver centric reviews. Thanks for watching our video though..:) Steve
I have a confession.. I just bought (err leased) exactly the same car (550i 2011), same color, and same specs because of this clip. And I have one comment: I am in deep love with this magnificent piece of German technology. I owned a 535i 2004 and a 730 IL 2007 before. Driving this 550i, however, has made me discover that there are things in life that are better than, well.. sex! :D Bravo BMW. You have my renewed respect and admiration.
European Review of 5 series: 520d
US Review: M5 with laser cannons and ejector seats
This guy is classy as hell...
this guy could sell water to a fish
this guy could sell sand in the desert
I was thinking the same thing.
LOL!
Best presenter ever!
The best car review I've ever seen so much personality .

2014 550i xDrive owner. Amazing car!

You got me. I'm buying, only one last thing, where do i get the money?!!
"People in the back: Baa they got a half inch more. Who cares! It's the ride up front that counts!" lol
+ScantZ TV I love that line..:) Steve

2011 550 = immaculate. this is one smooth luxury to ride. fine piece of beauty to behold.
thanks for sharing. i like your style, mr. michael douglas:)

This is simply one of the best looking cars ever! I WANT ONE!!!!
The Bmw really is te ultimate driving machine. !
Best Car Review Show. Period
well played, very well played and good show, you have my attention.
awesome car and awesome reviewer!!!
Great reviews and great video production. However, how do you review a car (especially a BMW) from the passenger seat? Drive the damn thing!
haha! I love this vid!!! The ashtray joke is the one that made me laugh my head off! haha! Great job!!!
Nice job. Great video work.
This car is luxurious and fast. You will feel like you are in a 7 with the performance of an M. Great car !
