    After about 10 years later I can finally afford it XD and looking back now the design was the best move they ever made. It looks even more modern and elegant by today's standards.

      @masud8842 Рік тому +3

      Totally agree, I own one and don't get tired of watching and driving it, even though could afford latest generation, however prefer f10's style over its new one.

    He starts intro with full enthusiasm
    As I go to end of video it is always a calculus class to me.

    Considering I used to own a 2011 535i myself I am very glad I didn't go for the E300 AMG before test driving it, now I disagree with Mat when he said it looks older because it actually looks sportier and more ferocious. It had amazing build quality and the performance of a sports car but the comfort of a 7 Series or a Pillow! to sum up it was GREAT!

    The F10 M-Sport body chassis is the best bmw looking car ever! Its perfect in all it's 360 ways and soo damn manly especially in Carbon Black Metallic which is 2 colors in one (black when the sunlight hits it and midnight blue at night)!!!

  • @alanrad5
    @alanrad5 10 років тому +8

    Best in class without doubt. 260km/h revs at 4000. Better performance than XF, Audi is the most boring car in class, diesel 535d is superb. 8 speed box - also best in class. 2013/4 key not needed in glove box. M Sport package changes look drastically.

    I went last week at my local BMW dealer and purchased a black 2011 BMW 528i. This car is a beauty. It is very, very fast and luxurious. The salesman at the BMW dealer got me a deal at $56,000 with taxes. I previously owned a 2007 BMW 335i, but this new 5 Series is amazing compared to it. I've had a lot of people come up and ask me how it is and I tell them it is brilliant. The only thing I don't like is that it guzzles a lot of gas. Overall, this car is amazing and I am glad I purchased it.

  • @willzer808
    @willzer808 13 років тому

    I don't know where Mr. Man Boobs gets the idea that earlier 5 series models had a bumpy ride. I have a 1996 E39 and its is so smooth it is unimaginable.. Seriously.

  • @euromedia2006
    @euromedia2006 14 років тому

    5-Series is and always was a benchmark setter, class leader, and most bought sedan in its class. Mercedes, Audi, Cadillac, and Jag shouldn't be worried they should figure out a way to try to come close.

  • @alexistarr
    @alexistarr 14 років тому +1

    I like the way it looks, a definite improvement on its predecessor.

  • @n8neiTen8n
    @n8neiTen8n 14 років тому

    Handling = 100/100 - nothing is better.
    Comfort = 95/100 - it's sports limousine, it can't be such "soft" as the others.
    Performance = 100/100 - BMW makes the best performanced cars in the world.
    Luxury = 100/100 - "The best interior in it's class" - I have nothing to add.
    Style = 100/100 - it's the most beautiful 5 series ever (even better than e39)!!!
    So it's the best car in it's class.
    That's all.

  • @LoveTheCity123

    Avoid the active steering option so the steering as you said won't lack feedback and then you're fine.

  • @rtgrss
    @rtgrss 13 років тому

    They probably don't want people leaving the key inside the car by accident. That might be why you can't close the key holder. As far as the design, the sweeping lines along the top of the hood and the side actually gives the car a more modern look than the prior 5 Series body style.

    @AntDX316 In Europe they get cloth seats in many base BMW models and basic things like sunroofs are options. The US models have leatherette at the entry level in the 1 and 3 series and leather in all others (and sunroofs are standard across all US models).

    Hiya Ross, well I had the BMW 5 for about a month and a half, after that I had an Audi A5 3.0 tdi sportback, and I'm now back again with an A6 2013. I was offered an amazing deal to get back with Audi after I took out the BMW. I agree with you that the A6 is more spacious, especially at the back, however I would never say the BMW interior is boring, especially when you add to that the massive sat nav screen (which is way bigger than in the A6) and other great features that fill up the car's interior. The seats in the BMW are certainly a bit more comfortable too, and the drive on the bends is that bit more responsive than the A6 - not to mention that the 2 litre diesel was more economic in comfort mode than the A6 when positioned in comfort mode. I was getting around 61mpg when cruising down the motorway - amazing! Anyhow, 90% of the cars that I owned in my life where Audi and I missed the brand. The other brands I owned included the 5 series and a Mercedes E class. Both the BMW 5 and A6 are great cars and certainly the Merc cannot compare to them in anyway. Keep on enjoying you A6 :) Btw, down here, i see the 5 series and A6 at least 20-30 times a day :)

    Is that a good thing or a bad thing ? coz I have an E60 2010

  • @Howitzer909
    @Howitzer909 14 років тому

    Hmmm, I agree.
    at 5:36 it looks like a cross between an E39 5 series and a current 7 series.
    The M5 will look sensational.

  • @destin325
    @destin325 13 років тому

    @FliegenKlappen
    I do have to agree. I like that they will point out the good and the bad, not to mention that they seem to do a more "realistic" test of the car rather than show you 0-60, 1/4 mile, and slalom times then flower it with techo garbage..they do it how most of the consumers would do it if they did one.
    onto something I wanted to point out, this car looks like a revamped/updated version of the early 2000s 7 series car rather than a 5 series.....I like it.

    @bgnyc1 What exactly are the purposes of each BMW car? The 3 series is for?... The 5 series is made towards?... I'm sure all series of BMW cars have their own purpose.

  • @lhrmeonom
    @lhrmeonom 13 років тому

    @kentau123 You may have bought one made in South Africa lol, it was the old days, did you own a 3 series? around 2001 or a couple years around? They WERE rubbish because the thickness of the glass and materials are very different, but now all parts are shipped from Germany. And you can choose if you want one made in SA or Germany.

  • @darkxiao
    @darkxiao 14 років тому

    @bgnyc1 I mean like the 3 series is mentioned to me more of a sport coupe than the 5 series. Yea basically what is each series' purpose for being on the road? I'm sure all series' aren't sport coupes.

  • @EliteSlayer542
    @EliteSlayer542 13 років тому

    The style really grows on you. When I first saw the commercial for it I thought BMW had gone mad. After a while though you start to really like it.
    Once I saw it at the dealer though, that's when I decided I wanted this as my next car. My GF thinks its ugly and wants the Jaguar XF (which is more expensive and only has RWD) and I don't know how to convince her otherwise :P

  • @theyetunusedname
    @theyetunusedname 14 років тому

    Nice touch: those pillars graphics are the from the bmw headquarters tower in munich.
    Nice review. I wouldn't call it more anonymous than the XF though. The new 5er is immediately recognizable as a bmw ... I wouldn't necessarily say the same about the jag.

    @kevinmsft the only problems with sales is that is too expensive. In my country supercharged 550 xdrive costs kind of $150-160k. In all other stuff this car is one of the best. You can be disappointed in bmw styling, or price or some kind of that, but its great car, really great car, if you disagree - so u just havent been driven one.

    @vissi87 14 років тому

    @GTGTRR actually the man who designed the last 5 series was named Davide Archangeli. Other models were also mostly designed by other people. Chris Bangle was the head of design and oversaw all of the designs but was only truly responsible for a handful of models. I agree with you, it's very sad that he is gone. BMWs style is becoming more and more generic.

  • @bgnyc1
    @bgnyc1 14 років тому

    @darkxiao Not sure what you're talking about... I recognize that each car has a purpose. I am addressing the fact that the reviewer throws around the term 'best in class' quite easily without mentioning the specifics of what makes it best in class. Nor does he mention the stiff competition that make up the class to which he refers (i.e. offerings by Audi and Mercedes).
