We Drive The New BMW 540i - Is it a Business Athlete?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 чер 2024
- In many ways, the 5 Series is BMW. It embodies the classic BMW traits of classiness, sportiness, comfort and luxury. And in a segment in which competition is fiercer than ever, for this, the 7th generation 5 Series, BMW knew they had to produce something special.
And they've even given it a name. BMW calls this the "Business Athlete".
In this video, we try to find out what that actually means. We explore the Cape Winelands in the new 540i and discover whether this new 5 Series offers everything you might expect from the century-old Bavarian brand.

Hahahahahahahaha Ciro nailed the phrase "Business Athlete" with that dress code…literally.
Awesome review again... and again... and again...
This Ciro guy has to be , the best reviewer on UA-cam .
I agree, and that by a landslide.
0:47 Had me finished! Haha.

Best car in its class
I'm genuinely surprised as to why Motor Trend gets more views than this channel
Rohan Iyer 2 reasons:
- They push the car to its limit (secluded circuits, 0-60, roud figure 8 performance etc)
- They also point out the flaws of the car ( eg: I noticed that the remote key is laggy, how good or bad the fake engine noise is, how gimmicky that hand movement is when u can press the button on the steering, and how certain features should be sold standard at that price range)
-I like this channel but they ain't on Motor Trend level

They drive on the right side of the road.
Have to say chaps, I watch and have been watching a ton of UA-cam over the years and you guys are knocking the quality, editing and hosting out of the park. Superb job. Music also spot on.
+Cobus Greyling Thanks so much and thank you for your support
You got it +
future of fashion 😁 👌
once again awesome background music
This guy's sense of humour is great!
Awesome review once again Ciro
Ciro has redeemed himself...for once I thought he had lost it... since hos horrendous review of the 2.8 fortuner where he totally went of rail saying the ride was jittery... to ending up uttering refinement in the same video 😃😃😃... Still a legend that Ciro
Excellent review as always
beautiful review as always. I'm loving that car though I'm waiting for next gen 6 Series to put my money in BMW. It is a beautiful car, they've nailed the 5 indeed.🏄👏🙌
Awesome! Best review ever....👍🏼
Great review - entertaining!
best reviewer ever....i like the dress code🤣
What an awesome car! I'd personally get a diesel but the 540i is great too
tdjsh
I have a 540i. I was wondering the pros and cons to bmw diesels for my next car
Ciro is the best in SA when it comes to car reviews 👌🏾 keep it up bro
Superb review... I love the dash of creativity it is true lunacy
great video and review.
Brilliantly presented as usual thank you! The rear of this car though reminds me of one Suzuki Ciaz?
ciro de Siena you are the best... business athlete kkkk😂😂😂 u nailed it there
This Ciro is made for this thing, great review
Excellent review
I like the review. I like your face when you do that hand gesture. Clothing will also make it unforgettable. However you didn't seat at the back for leg room and head room or show us the boot and the engine, even though you had about 9 minutes. I feel you could have covered a lot more with that time. A good video though.
Very impressice way of demonstating the feature of BMW. It is the hidden monster. An elegant monaster.
excellent review😀
I have been trying to find your review of the Opel Astra K but I can't find it
great reviews. you should have much more subscribers:)
great review buddy and quality production!

A class act.Can't be beat.
I really look forward to your videos. practical, funny, informative. Really the best car review channel out there!
The new M5 looks very promising
nice review... cant wait to see the m5. please do a head to head between it and the e63s when it comes out
Mothusi Maake me too, the E63s comes out pretty fast and amazing but the 5 series come out pretty strong as well and m5 is coming on his way.
You have the COVID dress code even before it was a thing! you should start a fashion line :)
I think this is my favorite BMW 5. With the inline turbo 6 gasoline, white exterior, black or brown interior, M Sport package and black gloss shadow line.
when will you guys get the Velar?
Do u ever rest Ciro, bcoz always yo reviews are fresh, on par and precisely on point...
Just love how u present it just serene...
Thanks alot..... 👌👌👌
Wat a 5 series yoh techwise got me overwhelmed
Brilliant review.
Rashik Sharar w
So beautiful
Who edits these videos??? They are awesome!
Phew Ciro, thank goodness the marketing team said business athlete and not business sex symbol rofl. Not sure I could have handled half suit/half g-string on you.
ciro and cars . co za you did a great review on the bmw 5 series and I really like the key it is like a smart phone
Its still missing a feature: automatically flashing the high beams at slower road users
Lol
I'm just glad the future of fashion never came up Ciro😅😅,I watched it when first was played ,I'm watching it again because I want to get this 2017 540i used for 500k rands,around 90k mileage,I'm not afraid the b58 is so good I don't think it will ever break😅😅😅😅
@ciro - Please confirm - this car definitely had IAS rear wheel steering and the standard M Sport Suspension? So not Adaptive Damping (which you can get with IAS) and not Adaptive Drive (which you cannot)?
wonderful
Ciro🙌
I need a answer..according to ur view which one is better BMW 5 or Audi a6 or Mercedes E class..plz reply...
its a nice review..specially starting business & sports😉😉😅
what song in the beginning..great review though..
I think I would be nice if you did more in depth reviews so that we can see what features the South African cars come with. I have seen the features from the European reviews, but I know that some of the features never make it to SA. So it would be nice to see which features did make it. It would have been nice if you had shown the self driving abilities and all the other cool stuff.
aaah - this man is good - he can sell anything to anyone anytime
He reminds me of Top Gear with Jeremy Richard and James
ha ha ha ha , love your reviews
Lovely review. Not so much a BMW fan but Ciro always makes the video interesting. Anyway, the exterior looks very boring in my opinion, but the interior looks very welcoming. One thing I hate about BMW is how low the rear seats are, I'm not sure if it's the same with this model?
amazing review! love the car in every aspect! the only downside side compared to the f10 the G30 has a smaller interior which almost feels a 3 series... Just my opinion. Great car all-round
Ariel Dinanga g30 has a smaller interior ? You know the g30 is bigger than the f10 (therefore with more space).
I would like to drag race between this beamer and Audi S5 please toe.
Man what outfit you wearing? Work at 9am basketball at 1pm
and the shorts?
This car looks lit, And looking at the price, It's close to the Ford Raptor 2017 model, and damn, I prefer the Ford Raptor 2017.
Pity SA doesn't get the best cars and best engines. Ciro is up there with Matt Watson and Rory Reid
Dope video and accent
Semi autonomous driving is standard across the Volvo S90 range, so thats where I would put my money
classic
nice car
Nice shorts.
Wow
It looks like a big fat 3 series
why don't you do the new Chevrolet Captiva
In 2018.why would anyone want to buy a 5 series when x3 and x5 has it all with more height and cabin space?
0:47 OMG...ah 😂😂😂
4:05 talk about timing 😅
This or 340i?
Alright Ciro blessyo! I have recently found your movies and iam watching them full now. Great! You know I went in the 530i niceone! Smoth and quite as a luxury lineup ship but small like a car you cannote ask for mo. This one is nice they told me to drive it so i drove it but look a m5 is still faster what must i say? The bmw man told look its not fast like a m5 but its nicer i said what are you telling? Comeone now you can't be series! But still ithing the 5 serious is seriesly nice car would you take one or the mercedes benz c clasS? I say no contest i will take the bmw. If we watch a movie from america with a bmw in it like mission is possible when they move the m5 or the m3 i say this is the best film i have ever seen we watch it at home on the phone becuase remember we dont have dstv becuse i didnote win the last 2 tenders and so i spend the money on De Toren Black Lion and a 2014 The Cab Franc. Now we are dringing water but my friend said i will get another tender now for covid. Thanks Ciro remain as cool as you are.
So this car is as fast to 100 as an F355!
Actually I want to see review of BMW M5 7th generation I. cars.co.za
Why is it called a 540 when it is a 3 litre????
Short pants?
Cheetah in a suit
isibaya
do more Japanese cars reviews
lexus, infinity etc
Ahmed Moosaji I fully agree more Lexus/Japanese marques
it definitly lacks the luxurious and wow factor which the e class has eventhough it has all those extras
9 minutes of review and didn't open the back door or the trunk...
0:47
You look like you went to school at CBC Boksburg...hahahahahahaha
meh, i'd take the 7 series. or E43
lol nice 1
It's hard hard choice this time still need to wait for A6 let's see bmw has great car but shit customer service as Mercedes but audi offers both a great car and alright customer service
Jawad Malik bmw customer services in jhb is miles ahead of merc and audi.
I’ve owned all three brands and it’s the best service by far
it is ironic how bmw try to make their saloon and family cars sport cars yet they can not manage to make a proper super car
Nice legs, bro
😂😂😂😂👍
Pants or trousers. The Brits are gonna lose their minds
Is he in his boxers? lol

Not a fan of the cabin in the 5 Series, the E class is better. However the outside of the E class is somewhat ... well no other way to put it UGLY with those stupid day running lamps. As much as I hate BMW, I have to confess that the 5 Series looks better outside.
Depending on the new A6, I won't easily consider this segment!!!
Wessel Erasmus what do you mean by the 'day running lamps'?
misc
E43 kicked BMW badly, in all aspect.
I don’t know what kind of money they use but one thing for sure it has no value
first
No one in this Country buys big saloons anymore doesn't matter how good or what car brand it is.
die man is net dom.
In the USA, only dorks and drug dealers drive German cars.
uhm.... k
You wanna argue the point??
@@markremy4946 in SA only drivers with a dead wish who drive ford
@@SAKHIWEMARKPIKE Do German car owners in SA(where is this?)get depressed when an American-built Chevy Corvette blows their doors off at 1/2 the price??I guess some people love to waste $$$
@@markremy4946 probably not... There's no class with that.
