It’s finally time to drive the new #BMW #5series! In top dog form, in the new EV i5 “M60” from #bmwm with almost 600BHP. That’s all good and well - but is it still a proper 5er? Or has it lost the charm?
Our new G60 5 series is for the first time a pure electric car, alongside a number of combustion engine variants available, and plug in hybrids coming soon. The great thing is the design of all of them is identical!
On the EV side, we have the entry level i5 eDrive40 and the range topping M60 Xdrive. I’ll show you both of these today, and we will drive the later!
The M60 is the most powerful current with 598BHP, 820NM and 0-60 in 3.8 seconds! Range comes from an 81.2KW battery, and the claimed mile are 315 - if it gets anywhere near this, we are on to a winner! Of course you can charge 156KM in 10 mins, thanks to fast charging.
As for the motor - it’s a 5th Generation E Drive technology with a motor that is smaller but able to provide very high power density. This means it takes less space and weight, while giving more power! That unit houses the electric motor, power electronics and transmission all in one.
The M60 has two of these, for xdrive all wheel drive - whereas the eDrive40 is red only.
Chassis wise, we have the wheel slip limiter closer to actuator for super quick reactions, sport steering, rear wheel steering, and our car today has the all important “adaptive pro chassis option”. This comes standard on the M60, and it has the typical electronically controlled shock absorbers BUT most crucially anti roll stabilisation! They should make a big difference in dynamics with this heavier car.
Inside, we’ve ripped off the 7 series in the best of ways with the new interactive light bar. Today, I’ll show you the M60 specific things in the interior, if you want a more in-depth check out my first look at the 5 series:
• 2024 BMW 5 Series G60!...
We’ll also discuss the New M5 - the V8 which is Hybrid Powered, likely using the set up that debuted in the XM.
Beyond all this, the most important thing today is the drive. How quick is the launch control? How are the dynamics vs rivals like Taycan and EQE? What are the electric sounds like? Is it an electric M5? Let’s find out today!
Up next on on RBR is the New Caterham V and the Cayenne S E Hybrid and MUCH MUCH More!! Subscribe to support us and see them first. :)

Great review! Mate, you've got to explain how you guys manage to get your car shots so perfect lined up - when the variations transition in, EVERYTHING lines up perfectly. its breathtaking and I don't know if people ou8t there would truly appreciate how difficult this must be to do. Kudos to you production team 👏👏👏
That color is sick!! I think BMW currently has the best key fob in the industry. I love the fact you can get Digital Key on these.
color on that fn migrant scumbag?
when the only thing you can talk about of this car is its key fob
@@Jedimack7everything about this car is gorgeous
no its ugly it looks like a fish@@hassanger8128
These frozen colors are a lot harder to maintain though.
I am from Romania and the model used (I5 M60) for reviews is 127.000 euro. I am a big fan of BMW, I recently sold my 4 Series Gran Coupe, but the recent prices beginning from 2020 are from another world. The 520I is beginning from almost 59.000 euro, without options and from my point of view, is ridiculous, regarding the depreciation that is coming in the next years.
Right now I"m getting used to this line of design, but in the near future I will buy the G30 facelift (2020+), because this model is not worth at least 70.000 euro for a decent configuration, if you will buy the 520D or 520I model, the other models are in the area of 100.000 euro!
When the 5series was launched, most motoring journalists said it looks terrible. Well done, RBR for giving it some time to let the dust settle a bit and then give your review.
Yeah but the satin black makes it looks a lot better than a light colour cause oyu cant really see the huge black plastic pieces on the lower body
Dust settled. Stil looks terrible
Horrible..
This was my daily driver for two weeks. And I must say this car impressed me very much. It’s a fantastic dynamic ride, the technology is very up to date, it’s like a mini i7 . But you will need to go into the infotainment to access most of it and then his sucks while driving.
I'm a big fan of Mercedes and BMW, in my opinion they are the best cars for everyday life, the tests carried out by Mr. amg and these two brands are phenomenal and show the opinion of a person who knows a lot about cars and in addition loves cars, no matter what brand they are, note that the analysis and comments are genuine and not to please a specific brand or to a particular audience... Congratulations! great work!
I’ve collected one two days ago and it’s fantastic. Utterly superb . So comfortable and powerful.
That white water bottle has been the unsung hero for demonstrating the intense torque that this car has. I trusted it more than I trusted Raz’s reactions 😂🤣😂 Great review as always, Mate 👍🏾
but that coffee cup was lacking! 😵💫
So much hate so far in the comments. I just picked up my M60 and it’s beyond amazing
Yea EVs are just one of that topics where the people with least experience have the most opinion and it‘s more about political views than the cars themselves.
Congrats! This car looks very good!
Congrats. I’m tracking my order and it is at the port right now. I can’t wait!
Today I saw it in person... and I must say... it grows on me in a minute... guys u have to see it in person... the only critics, they cold gave a bit more chatacter to side profile
@@timonxDlolWe know. Conservatives suck.
Another great Review!
In person the car looks much better than on any picture or video. I was able to see and experience it. I find the design much better than the egg like EQE/EQS sedans. Unfortunately it was a press car so I wasn’t able to drive it yet.
I don’t like the EQE tbh. EQS is nice but pricy/massive and I would rather have an i7 or an i5 M60 (though the i5 does have relatively poor range)
The most legendary intro of all times!! Now that's how you make an entrance!
I like they give you the option on EV or ICE and they don’t look super weird
i would love to see i3 come out with its smaller chasis with the boost button
I respect you Raz because even though you are a self professed AMG man you do not show any bias when reviewing an arch rival and not shy away from even complementing it. Your excitement and enthusiasm for this 5 series shone through. A stark contrast to the E class review you did sometime back. Merc has been going down hill for a long time.
What bias? He owns an m3 touring. AMG lost their way, apart from my c63s, BMW is the only option apart from Porsche.
That Raiden intro was legendary 👏👏👏👏
That new 5 Series is amazing. Like it a lot. Am so excited to see a m5 cause this thing is already looking big and bulky.
First time I saw the front light, I also immediately thought E60!!!!
That’s stunning 😍. Perfect spec 😋
Looks nice
I own a M550i. I’m a V8 guy. If I ever was to own an EV this car would be in the running along with Audi and Benz.
But for now, long live twin turbo V8’s!
I saw it in person and drove it. Way way better than the last generation. It’s basically a mini 7 series and so luxurious
It's garbage
Hi ! How would you sescribe and justify 'way way better than the last..' ? Am planning to purchase the last used but not 100% keen on it.. Thanks !😃
Defo get the e40 version! Don’t need that much power for a daily. And is the rwd better drive or at least more true to its origins
25:54 - That there is the exact reason I HATE capacitive touch interfaces in cars. It forces the driver to take their eyes off the road. I don't understand why manufacturers insist on continuing with this trend.
Good, that you could also use the iDrive controller and there is no need to use the touch screen.
iDrive knob
Gesture control
Voice control

BMW has it all... In fact It's the only car manufacturer who has it all 💪🏼
BMWs are in my opinion such a good look cars , I have had BMWs for the last fourteen years. Just a joy to drive.
It is the number one auto brand for a reason
Always my brother. BMW driving experience is just better.
the reflection of the trees onto the piano black trim looks like electricity, interesting
When are they going to show the M5, that’s what everyone’s waiting to see.
Anti roll stabilisation eh….my 2004 735i Sport had a thing called dynamic drive….yep anti roll stabilisation. Btw, that was the most underrated car ever built. Very similar size and shape to this new 5 series…and mine was in Swartz. Great car 👍👊🖤
My E60 530i has it too, obviously inherited from the E65 7. I love it. Makes it feel like it handles even better than my sport E90 330i (and I do believe it outgrips it).
what the fuck is swartz
@@jaymum23 yes agree, it was such an underrated feature. I don’t think they bothered really testing the E65 sport at the time. As you said the grip limits are phenomenal, I had stupid levels of confidence throwing it around.
I would be perfectly happy with that as a 2 car garage. BMW i5 M60 and an AMG Black Series. 😊
You and me both!
Great review bruv. Not a fan of the design. I'm glad I have the i4 M50. But interested to see to see how they sell and if people choose the ICE or EV variant. Someone in the i4 forum I'm a member of had his i4 totaled and he upgraded to an i5
you still have the best review and graphic in all auto review videos
Love the entrance
Been seeing these around nyc all week
great colour matching on the merch too
That black Matt color is the only thing keeping the car look good, but I still like the 2022 version more.
Where i live, electricity costs are phenomenally higher than the in the uk or us. Hence, not only is it STILL expensive to run, but is charging even more stuff that environmentally friendly?
How would you compare the quality overall between M440i and this and which would be more comfortable for long distance
RBR, once again you have proven to be the best car reviewer! I can't wait to hear your opinion about the new M5 that is about to launch.
in the US suspension adaptive PRO = included in all M60, no 3000 pound upgrade
How does it compare to your Taycan dynamically?
He came in like Raiden
Can you please do a review of the 2024 540i with the six cylinder? A professional review of this new model has not yet been posted to youtube. Thanks!
I am kinda glad that the upcoming M5 weigh that much. This makes the F90 still desirable since it's a pure 4.4L V8 Goodness.
Looks f*cking awesome - since years a BMW with a great design
I love that steering wheel
Does the i5 use induction motors or permanent magnet motors?
The back looks are incredible
Toyota Camry lights with no exhausts
The sides are the opposite of boring
The front is not a mess at all and I like they added the 2 series look cuz that was obvi best in line up
This car is beautiful and exciting. The new BMW design team is just insanely good. Mercedes and Audi have no shot to compete.
The only true thing that you said, Mercedes and Audi could no longer compete with BMW
Let me think, 5 meters long, a big central tunnel in the back, a ridiculously small trunk volume, little space in the back of the vehicle, plastic everywhere and cheap materials, a car that no one admires in the street, and especially extremely limited autonomy. This car is a joke from BMW
im the owner of taycan turbo and the range isnt 220 km , its also around 300-350 km
So where do you put the petrol?
big congrats to the BMW design team. This one is finally not offensively ugly.
But still not the best looking ....still bland...
Just regular ugly 😂😂
Bruh if u havent seen the new bmw m3 or m4 with an adro body kit and grille or the CSL one stop what ur doing and check them out. Ritta rides just reviewed the best looking M car ive ever seen in the bmw m4 csl. Other then that though i prefer the m3s look just need some aftermarket 300-800$ add ons and it looks super mean and aggresive. All types of stuff u can do to it. The frozen colors like white and black look the best imo. Prolly black. Performance wise i just couldnt go back to an older bmw too, these new xdrive M cars launch like a tesla plaid. With just 10k in tunes its faster then one too. I use to hate the grille till i saw the aftermarket options now the old bmws look old
@@user-my4xu4gf1z sure
Well, that reversing light is going to REALLY illuminate the whole space behind you so you can see where you’re going when you’re reversing 🙄
M5 cs will the greatest sport sedan ever made
LET’S GO!
Drove the M60 version last week. Impressive speed and handling, the exterior has yet to grow on me (and I have a '23 760i), but the interior was the big let-down for me. Some nice mini-7 bits, sure, but so much cheap plastic. Didn't feel "luxurious."
Dont drive an audi or benz then, even cheaper interiors, BMW makes the best quality interior right now with good mats
Finally someone speaking about this issue i have with the 5 series, thank you ! When i sat in the 5 series i was shocked to find no leather stitching on the dashboard at all and no leather stitching on the center steering cap ! Even the 3 series and 2 series have leather stitched steering caps. The plastic door handle inlays, control area and nobs were a big disappointment as well. Its genuinely weird that no reviewer talked about this issue so far. Unfortunately car journalists are no longer what they used to be, a car is more than just the way it drives !
@@AOTanoos22 - Yeah, I also have a 2023 X1 and its interior seemed a LOT more upscale than the new 5.
@@demolisherOfMoney - Well, at almost 54, I am still under the delusion that I am twenty years too young for a Benz. Ha.
The normal grille looks better..and look at the gap between the arch and wheels???
Needs to be lowered by atleast an inch
The rear looks good. But I prefer the base non-m sport version
Today I saw it in person... and I must say... it grows on me in a minute... guys u have to see it in person... the only critics, they cold gave a bit more chatacter to side profile
man that entry was something else, g shit 😂👌
Can you hear the applaus from Porsche sales department? :D
Love the part where he came in internal combustion engine Mercedes 😆
I’ll say on video or pictures it’s not too nice. Saw one at a dealership and it’s amazing
Can you do a review on the new kia ev9 gt-line model someday
are people trolling when they are saying the design is beautiful?
the car is extremely uneventful
why did you look at the camera like that at 25:58 ... Caught me off guard
The reverse light is from the mini coopers and the window control buttons are so cheap its a shame.
Rear tail lights make the rear look like a Jetta.
VERY NICE!!!!
Maybe the next platform won't have the transmission tunnel.
Good job! One form for all engines!
it's not an electric M5, more like an electric M550ix. The M5 is coming out next year and will have the drivetrain from the XM, V8 plug in hybrid.
what color is that?
Top car 🚗
I would say that the vehicle needs really good brakes given the small and confusing country roads in England.
With EV’s, does the heat come on almost instantly or does it still need to “heat up”?
Thanks
it's usually instant as they use a coil to heat
@@TheFanatic340ah ok appreciate the insight. I never see anyone use that as a selling point or even mention it. That’s incredible… especially if it works the same for cold weather.
@@robsnow2099it is incredible, but consums lots of battery life. However, all the new BMW cars got instant heating after turning the engine on, because they use a ceramic heating fan forced at the first 10 minutes.
@@hassanger8128thank you for this, that is really cool.
WOW ❤ topcar 🎉
what about the 550E?
The BMW i5 is absolutely beautiful, miles better than the MB EQE.
What is the price on this version? £70K?
Is it me or that launch control around 22’ was so powerful that it made you fart ? 😭😭
I'd love to know if it's possible to turn off all that distracting dashboard stuff and the crazy noises being pumped out of the speakers. I don't really want to drive in an amusment arcade with an audio soundtrack. I'm more than happy with the windscreen and some quiet.
how do you not mention Twsla
What is the name of this colour?
As someone who thinks BMW design is incohesive inside and out, I am generally okay with it. I think there's a couple dealbreakers. First, I hate the shiny black plastic lower part of the front bumper. Congratulations for not putting beaver teeth on it - but they had to go ruin it. Make it body color and the exterior is good. Second, I have always been unimpressed with the design of BMW interiors (except 8-series). However, they usually use better materials and are screwed together better than the equivalent Mercedes and Audi. I could put up with the busy (overdesigned) interior if it was high quality. This generation is no different. I like the crystal switchgear (much better than Mercedes' captative touch black plastic). Generally, the new generation of BMW interiors looks like Geometry class threw up all over the place. I also hate the "ambient light" which is more of a "neon sign" - nothing about it is "ambient". . . it's giving me cheap gaming laptop vibe. Again, if it was high quality, I could deal with it. However, apparently they are using fewer soft-touch surfaces and more hard-touch plastics. This is the biggest deal breaker for me in cars. I know that many of the materials are quite nice, but this is still a letdown. I have so many gripes with Mercedes' new-gen cars. However, it looks like the W214 E-class is the only car that didn't take a big L with the redesign. In the non-superscreen model with "exclusive leather" package, you're getting a very beautiful cockpit and even nicer materials. Considering that neither the E nor the 5 series have the right number of genuine tactile buttons, and Mercedes' MBUX software is superior, I think it's the one to get. I just hope that 1) the next-gen E class gets a v8 in the 63, and 2) that they ditch the capacitive touch in the facelift. Both of these cars are so close to being the pinnacle of luxury cars - just let down by modern trends.
This a very long text for saying us...literally nothing.
An M version without the race sound isn't a real M. Sorry Old School here.
BMW gives a Man that Dignity he needs.
All of the fake sound effects are going to seem very silly in the future when looking back on this.
Hey Raz,
I noticed no reviewer is talking about something that is really bothering me about the new 5 series. It has no leather stitching on the dashboard anywhere and no leather stitching on the center steering cap unlike the 7 series or even 3 series and 2 series Bmw. This makes the interior feel cheap in addition to the plastic door controls. Not really impressed, would love to hear your opinion about it !
This thing looks like a big bulky muscle car. Thing is tuff. The wheels need to be changed or blacked out though. Would change the entire look.
Whats the name of that factory color, its superb!!
Frozen Deep Grey. Just test drove one the same exact color today.
Imagine the new M5...Going to be insane to drive.
Can't wait. But will. Two years.
DEPRECIATION@@mickrodriguez3724
My Tesla Model 3 Performance does that in 3.1s and i am still waiting for Plaid version as it does not feel enough.
Thats a lie. Tesla uses rollout for their 0-60 times. Ive seen multiple pulls from 0 and they average 3.4 lowest ive ever seen on a street is 3.3 so its neck and neck with this in acceleration. This has a better speed then the m3p when it pases 60 so this would win in the quarter mile and half mile. It would also win from a roll by a MILE. Hell i just watched a carwow roll and dig race with the i4 m50 and it beat the model 3 performance while being slower then this car.. idk why tesla dorks always have to lie i guess yall just hate on stuff u cant afford.
Thing is, teslas aren't a head turner like bmw and Mercedes. No one on the street or at a car meet would EVER double take or take a pic of a tesla. The model 3 and model y designs are not sleek at all they look like fat eggs and the head lights are ugly as shihh. They look like mall cop cars 😂
The model X looks like a mini van. The model s has a decent front end but the boxy rear and out dated tail lights ruin the enitre sleek design. All in all no head turning sound and they look dull and boring inside out. I hate EVs but atleast this gives u a sound if u want it. Taycan still looks the best and has the coolest sound tho 😂
Teslas dont look mean or aggresive at all. Thats what makes fast cars cool. They look like basic traffic 😂 and the interior is a single ipad with a steering wheel and plastic parts. BMW and merc offer carbon fiber all around and in the car,really good quality buttons that feel good to click, luxury or carbon bucket racing seats, HUD,and sporty steering wheels that have very nice materials and feel great. That u can also option for carbon fiber.
Teslas don't feel like ur in a sports car or a luxury car. It's just blah. Yall talk about price and thats just it. Its a poor mans fast car 😂 u sacrifice looks,interior, and a unique dope engine experience.
Ur pic is a gt3 so u know exactly what im talking about. U def never experinced a new gen one seeing u have an old and dirty one in ur videos. Thats the car u would get if u were rich though. U just want the plaid now cuz its actually achievable for ya. No rappers no athletes or celebrities drive a tesla cuh. They are bland and boring cars in everyway.
Just had to lay that out sorry dude but im tired of tesla ppl. It really is a poor mans fast car and they try to justify and defend everything when in reality they know if they were millionaires theyd have that high end porsche, mclaren,bentley, ferrari, lambo etc...
Nobody looks at Tesla's because they might as well be a communist car for the masses because they are so common, bland (especially in poverty spec white) and about as desirable as a new washing machine. And I'm a shareholder lol. Would I buy one? Hell no. @@user-my4xu4gf1z
When time comes to replace the battery due to aging or malfunction, paying a SUBSTANTIAL amount for a battery will be a testing time.
Just the same as when the time comes to change a broken engine - that’s costly too ! [and just as unlikely]
BMW needs to bring back the M550i.
it is coming :)
BMW going with the more classic styled front grille is so nice to see. Gorgeous sedan.
But it really isn’t that quick. The outgoing M550 is faster 0-60mph.
I had my G30 for 5 years now. It would make sense to get a new car, but I'm repulsed by their current offerings. If BMW doesn't get their shit together, I'm afraid it will be the last one.
Man you should have at least 5 million subs . Respect from lahore .
Its the worst looking as an M Sport trim so far but the M5 is going to look like a beast.
Ohh my gad broo😂😂😂😂 like I've seen launch videoes from the inside of fast cars before. But never ever have I gotten this reaction from watching and launch from the inside. Man when u firstly used that boost I felt like I was the that's just insane man. Im currently voting for Tesla model y as I need the space. Like I couldn't fit a baby seat or troler or what it's called in the back and that is a sad thing. And why the new model y juniper in the coming months is probably going to be my next car. But when I get rich I'll deffinatwlt getting this car compared to polestar. I've always liked cars and don't kind of have a preferable car. I just like cars. I lost my sens of liking for bmw as my accociation with it is all the packies "not using that as a negative example" bit yeah u get me I don't want to be just another Bron guy in a bmw. But this car and watching this video kind of tickled my senses in a way I've never experienced. I'm more in for crossovers but if I were to have 2 I would have the mercedes amg gle 63 s coupe and this. Without question my type of dream cars.
The back reminds me of a Toyota Camry
Well…it’s not as ugly as the new 7 but as for the electric being the future….good luck with that. I just traded in my 2022 BMW 750 since the lease was up AND bought a 2021 Alpina B7! Classy, brutal and GAS POWERED‼️ I’ll be supporting the Saudi’s forever 😂
Is “bettering” a word?
Big difference to harry’s review
