All BMW's feel way faster than the numbers. I think they underrate them
Dylan Wurfel all German cars are underrated. They are usually making as much to the wheels as they advertise to the crank
They have to understate and downtune to meet emission requirements.
I thought so too. My 328 is the fastest car I’ve driven so far.
I heard 540i is closer to 380bhp. Reported as 342bhp.
Just got mine and im in love with this car!!!
@Frank Holand Automotive
how is your fuel economy?
if you drive Eco pro.
Great ,Another nice review.Good job Mike and thanks for sharing! BMW M550i is also the only V-8-powered 5-series sedan currently available. I love that exhaust sound and the launch control system. The M performance engineers really know how to work!
Great job Mike, this is probably the best 5 series review I've seen!!!
i love BMW, thanks for doing this review man, keep it up!
The exhaust on this car is crazy!
Wow I just discovered this channel..BY FAR the best camera work in the car review world!
I always like this guy's honesty no matter what he's driving
AutoVlog... nice touch with the drone. Doug DeMuro never used a drone. You got my subscription!
With the sound pumped through the speakers, it sounds like a car out of a video game.
The sound from the speaker is not engine noise, it is a counter noise to eliminate pitchy real engine noises . Active Noise Cancellation:

I find that pretty silly how they added this feature to BMW cars. My friend has a 328i with M sports package and has this feature turned on. From the inside the car sounds like an M3/M4...lol but no sound on the outside.
Yeah it sort of stinks, but their market is split and probably slanted towards quiet rides. If they made the exhaust and engine loud enough for the inside imagine how loud it would be out. It is also one of the easiest things to disable with lots of tutorials online.
ua-cam.com/video/gB0apslghXU/v-deo.html. Maybe I'm deaf but the sound sounds the same to me. Granted this is a M4 and not the M550i
If someday one of those is mine, i would first: Deactivate the ActiveSound with a Selfmade adapter-PCB (thanks to an German Forum it's possible to "cut out" the System). Then a louder Exhaust system with Flaps inside (Controlled, if there OEM by the OEM Flap system).
And you then have real, Flap controlled V8 Sound. Also, the Sound system isn't Busy anymore to make the Exhaust sound cancelling/boosting, which should result in a better Music sound quality.
I find the M550i impressive but I want to praise you AV for the quality of your videos. Excellent presentation.
glad to see that you weren't biased since your C63. I love my M535i, spec'd the same as your friends (except the mighty V-8). But me being a BMW guy i noticed the small camera in the grill and you didn't mention the "night vision" that is on that car.....truly amazing especially when traveling thru the heavily wooded roads. GREAT VIDEO as always Mike
M5351 ?
The front ends of BMWs are just gorgeous 😍
Definitely, but they need to work on the back end a bit
Can you say the same nowadays? Haha jp
@@Miggys.Garage
The F8X M3/4 look incredibly aggressive. It's quite a task to make it's descendant even more aggressive. Honestly they have succeeded. The G8X M3/4 look INSANELY mean. I must admit, it definitely needed some time for me to start liking 'em but boy do I want one 🥵
damn these videos keep getting better and better , the music and editing is at pro level. It looks like you had a great time with this car and the review good as allways , greetings from Romania !
3,2,1 ACTION ikr
Thank you !
AutoVlog I hope you get the 2018 63 amg!
Sal ba
Andrei salut si tie :)))
Just bought one new as loaded in Sapphire Black! Pick it up in April, cant wait, thanks for the review.
We bought a BMW m550i recently and we love it !!
Great review on an amazing car. Some of the comments crack me up. Way too many self proclaimed car experts who want to criticize this vehicle. As a current X6 M owner who's in the market for a new car, I'm impressed by the performance and refinement of this "tweener" M car. Haters be damned!
I think with custom exhaust and abit of tuning it would be perfect
and turning speakers off.. Artificial sound is not good.
indelebilis11 The sound ain't artificial. Its real sound from the engine, tho it's amplified through the speakers.
Anything coming from the speakers is artificial. They never used to have to do that. Modern turbo engines though fast, sound crappy compared to their predecessors which is why they've had to start doing that speaker shit.
Yeah well turbos are here to stay. Turbos are amazing in my eyes because the amount of torque they bring is insane. I have an M4 witch has twin-turbo and its awesome. Alot of people complain about how it sounds, but when you hear it in real life, and when you drive it, it sounds sick.
Sure it does'nt compare to the amazing sound of the e92 m3, but thats an old, thirsty and torque lacking engine.
I dissagree. Give it another 5-10 years and turbos will be dead and everything will be electric. There is no reason to stick with ICE anymore other than character and nostalgia and these modern engines have none of either.
Great vid Mike. It's the first time I have seen the "finger movement" adjustment and that is crazy cool, the entire car is for that matter.
Video production quality is fantastic, keep up the great work!
this is a great review. This exact model fully loaded is finally around 50k. Im currently shopping for one and these kinds of videos are very helpful
Any luck finding one?
I can see 230 people can't afford this BMW..
Now 378
380 now
Now 381
382
385 now
Nice to see you again BOSS, we miss your cars reviews
I love BMWs I have a 2015 X5 and it's a beast! I had a 2017 530i loaner while my car was in for maintenance and even with the 4 cylinder it was insanely impressive! Awesome cars
looks really good, how about a comparison between the BMW M5 and the Mercedes AMG, whats your thoughts?
Sin4Gin “the mercedes amg”
BMW is back on track
I don't know man, that interior is meh as fuck. And although the exterior is decent, the new E-AMG models look better.
thats your opinion, i think the interiour is much better then the current e-class i dont like these double tablet screens, looks a bit childish too me, not what mercedes stands for.
it's not really an opinion because in this industry if you're not moving forwards you're moving backwards. The interior literally looks the same as the last one with a better steering wheel and a bit more shine. BMW only put the minimum amount of digitalization on that gauge cluster so you still have the same old boring design on the outer edge. I love BMW but people need to start criticizing them more often or else they're going to stay complacent.
but u do realize the infotainment system from bmw is more modern than the one from mercedes right?
El Toro They have been way of track compared to Mercedes for too long!!
I drove one of these yesterday and it blew my socks off. I was lucky to get the opportunity through a connected friend. If I had the $ it would be parked in my driveway. I have nothing negative to say about the car. This video says everything.
Thank you so much indeed for this exciting review
That V8 is way too tame with the stock exhaust
It needs an upgrade right off the lot
What does it cost to equip it with the snorkel option??
Awesome car and great review of it. Your getting good with that drone too. Very nice footage
Mine is Black/ black interior, I just dont have the Bowers and Wilkins Wish I did, however Harman Kardon does very well though. This is a bad ass macine!!
i actually timed the 0-60 you did.. came out on 3.7 ish
like for the intro
Also a cool feature is that GPS can be displayed thru the heads up as well. I rented a 2017 530i, which interior wise was pretty much identical, and i thought that was an awesome feature on a road trip.
👍🏻👍🏻
the sound is AMAZING
They really are just slapping that M badge on everything aren't they
KuBi1337 it makes me mad! Especially on the one and two series. Same thing with Audi they will put s badges when you buy certain packages where with Mercedes you don't get an amg unless it's has amg engine, transmission, suspension, steering and more
Ten Year Old Girl mercedes does the same thing. amg, m, s-line, is just a package put on cars. mercedes always puts those 5 spoke amg wheels on everything too.
ten year old girl... this is a m engine, transmission, suspension, and steering. this isnt some kind of m sport package, what are you talking about? its also a daily driver, comfortable, can take the family to disney land and not cause stiff necks and backs that the amazingly horiible ride of the full M cars give. this has the performance of the M and the ride of a 530i, again this is not some m sport package or option. anyway what does it matter whats on the badge, its an amazing car, it also destroys its merc counterpart the amg e43, so i dont see a point to your statement other than to try and praise Mercedes even though they are clearly outclassed by this vehicle
I tend to agree with you, especially on the m-sport cars (I hate seeing the ///M badge on those). But I think this M550i is worthy of the ///M badge.
BMW 320 M and M528i
hydrolock and chill?
Robert lol that's funny af actually sorry mike
Robert 😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😱💀
The video should be titled, "The Fastest Depreciating Money Pit That Money Can Buy"
omnipotentum They are shit I use to work for Mercedes-Benz.
Haha As a Mechanic I made a killing working on these German money pit machines. Lexus is like 2x cheaper in cost of ownership and the quaity is far superior than these Germans. You wonder why Lexus has been consistently topping Consumer Reports for nearly 20 year's as #1 as they set the industry quality benchmark. Just look at the difference of he brands stack up when it comes to cost of ownership. www.yourmechanic.com/article/the-most-and-least-expensive-cars-to-maintain-by-maddy-martin
I love your review and thinking about getting one. Also like your car wash review without any touch.
+murats sen Thank you :)
The drone is really a good addition, Mike. Nice work!
Review the new e63 S AMG
I would love to :)
Dominic Campanella THATS a BEAST..
Dominic Campanella Im all about AMG but BMW seems to be getting there sht together lately.
Trade your C63 for this?
It's great but no.. ;)
I'm sure this wouldnt break going threw a puddle
FewTuber Yeah but it might if you go through a puddle.
Co-worker of mine had his BMW M3 hydrolocked the same way.
Adidasp4 trade what c63? Lol
what a beast looks so damn good with some nice tuning this car is simply perfect!
Once again perfect review!
Great car. But interior sounds like a video game.
Loved the BMW 5 series since Need For Speed High Stakes.
I'm pretty sure the front air intake you mentioned is there to create a airflow around the wheels so they produce less drag
Love the reviews
Holy shit that thing is fast.. you passed that FedEx jet at 2:57
Anon1993 wowowowow! 😂
02:48 he passed that lexus pretty fast
Video editing. Zero fucks is given about these unreliable money pits. They are junkie cars when they get old.
Eman 08 What?
Beautiful car... Great review and video... Unfortunately in 10 years half the gimicky features on that car won't work...and it will cost $10k plus to fix them.... That's my fear with cars with this much technology.... Things will be so expensive to fix that people will just leave the luxury superfluous features broken as they break outside of warranty...
Hey Mike, great video. I love watching your content no matter what you choose to post. Please try to find someone with a Audi RS model. RS3 or RS5 preferably. I would love to see you review one of these. Thanks.
This is my dream car. Can’t wait to get it one day.
How in the world is a 445 horsepower luxury sedan as quick to 60 mph as a 650hp Cadillac CTSV (which is lighter and more performance orienter !?!?)
Empire State technically it's not faster or quicker, but damn close in the 0 to 60. The bmw hits full torque (480lb-ft) at 1800 rpm, Cadillac hits it at 3600 rpm, bmw hits full horsepower (hp) at 5500 rpm and Cadillac hits it at 6400 rpm. The bmw with it's all wheel drive system gets all of it's power to the road and does it significantly quicker. Because of this if that Cadillac had equal torque and horse power the bmw would leave it in the dust. The massive hp 640 and massive torque 630 lb-ft are the only reason the Cadillac edges out the bmw for the Sprint to 60mph (the caddy is also about 200 pounds lighter), and I say barely cause bmw under estimates their times, meaning the m550i probably goes a little quicker than the published 3.9 seconds, and American cars are notorious for over estimating their times (I'm talking to you dodge hellcat), meaning the Cadillac may be a hair slower than the published 3.6 seconds. Top speed caddy wins all day long that horsepower will give it the edge in a long straight away, but the fact that the caddy is rear wheel drive and a little slow getting to full power, all that HP and torque take some time to reach the road there for allowing the weaker bmw to keep up in the 0 to 60... But only in the 0 to 60. The CTS-V is absolutely amazing by the way!
It's also interesting that a Lexus with 414 horsepower takes a second longer to achieve the feat compared to the BMW. Even a Camaro SS and Mustang GT can't match the BMW in 0-60. Looks like BMW really has something secret going on in their drivetrain ...
Empire State just wait for the AWD M5 lol
Renato J the new M5 is so fast it may actually go back in time!
I heard. It's a huge luxury sedan; yet it will travel back in time on it's 0-60 time. Looks like BMW is getting back on track! Keep going BMW - I want to see that spirit you had in the days of the E39 reinvigorated!
Those wheels remind me of the E46 M3.
Still love my 80's 5 series and my non hydro locked 335i
Awesome video Mike!!
Bro try using a clip on mic cuz its too much of noise in the background. Plus it'll make your voice much more understandable.
THIS BMW IS A LOT BETTER THAN UR C63 PERIOD
Caps Lock cuz why not
Wow thanks for sharing your opinion! I'm sure he's regretting his decision buying his dream car instead of a car you think is better! :D Nice Charles! I bought an M4 Competition last month, do you have any comments or opinions about that witch could be useful too me? If so, please let me know!
Martey I take that car over a c63 even though I am a Chevy guy that's my favorite pick up
Why are you comparing a c coup with an 5 serie saloon? Why not dhe e63 amgs
watch his car on utube nothing but problems with the c63 ever since he received the car
The vents on the front bumper are not for cooling the breaks. But for causing a low pressure air flow around the vehicle for better aerodynamics.
Love bmw's gotta go get my THIRD! Absolutely love this review!
yea and you gonna ending buy an M5
GabyKatut no
Omg stop calling it m5
You're right lmao
Should have gotten this instead of C63.
agreeeeeeee
Tyler Yaccarino 999 times faster
Should have gotten e63s :) it wipes the floor with bmw
Disagree
At this rate, might as well get the upcoming AMG GT C
I thought u only did benz reviews but very informative 👌
That was an awesome video!...can you do a review of the Cadillac ATS-V sedan?
I like a BMW exterior but the interior does nothing for me unlike a Merc which is beautiful
Paul Davies sit in both and test out the flex in materials and fit and finish Mercedes isn’t even close only nice for aesthetics.
Paul Davies like press on the door panel flexes like a piece of plastic
I think someone is trading a C63S AMG for the new M5 !! 🤔
Great review dude, please keep on doing as well :)
I just love that sound
Prefer my E92 M3 V8 N/A revving to 8400. :)
BAM-Draughan see no one's giving a fuck !
BAM-Draughan e92 isnt a na v8?
I don't understand how you come from my sentence to this point.
All m3 has a NA engine except the f80 and they all have manuals even the f80 great car e92 ftw
Ok
Hate the fake sounds.
You need that some people dont want everytime the sound
emdec55 agree don't like fake engine sound not a fan
Autoblog grate video on this BMW
emdec55 I
Its not fake out side at least and it sounds good out side
I doesn't sound good outside. Listen to the old E60 M5, or even the E39... different league.
Hi nephew😀. Just got myself an older BMW 520d touring. Fun enough for your old uncle in Norway. Great videoes you make😀😀
I'm liking the new intros. Very professional. Editing is getting better too. Good job. Would you ever consider getting one of these instead of the MERCEDES?
Amg killer😎
Beka Machurishvili CLA45 ? YEAH OK.. Thats right 😃
I drag raced a CLA on a quarter mile drag strip and beat it by a full second in my E46 M3, a 13 year old car.
The M550i has much more horsepower than my M3, it'll definitely beat it in a straight line.
E46 e46 is a beauty👌
BMW > Mercedes Benz for one simple reason. BMW still makes manual transmission and it is cheaper than the auto.
Basih the manual is cheaper? On most of their cars the manual is the same price as the auto. At least in Canada.
In my currency, the SEK (Svensk Enkrona) it cost an additional 20k to have an automatic. 20k in my currency is about 2k euros.
Mercedes also makes manual transmissions
Not if you want more than 180 hp... Which means that any "Fun" car can only be bought with an automatic.
They barely offer manual transmissions these days, I know this car won't come in manual,
Great review mate! 👍👊
Boy i love BMW i have 530 f10 love them
Hey AutoVlog fron switzerland
The same gen M5 will obviously be faster so that is just a stupid thumbnail/title.
Currently you fucking idiot
And , of course Rudy knows you don't keep a BMW for much past 3 years or 50,000 miles, its virtual end of of life.
zonie1953 Not when it's properly maintained and not driven like a teenager fuckboy.
My e36 disagrees
I love it all your videos are in 4K
I have a 2016 550i rear wheel drive...M Sport and loaded with all the packages, same 445 HP turbo V8 as the 2018...I added the BMW CF front splitter and rear spoiler and mine is also white with black...I absolutely love her, but I will be getting a new(er) one soon as I have a hankering for the hand free driving driver assist package in the new models....but I'll wait a couple years.
Definitely not the fastest BMW
It is
White Mail Privilege then tell me what is
Just wait until new m5 lands on sale
White Mail Privilege but you're a ducking white mail!!!
AutoVlog The new M5 is faster
These cars are kinda ugly tbh fast but ugly. Love the interior though
Great review!
Great review Mike!!! Can you set the engine sounds coming from the speakers to fast and furious mode for constant gear changing sounds lol
C63 s coupe amg is better
no
Jeppe Werring amg is better
Finiu TV non
M Power > AMG
Finiu TV the 5 series competes with e class not c class
The drone shots you've been doing are sweet
Great vid Bro!
Going to get mine this weekend!!!
The piped engine noise is probably my only criticism of this car, it's an amazing machine... my brother has the 335d with x drive, I'm not usually a diesel fan but man that car drives well, I'm pretty won over by x drive, for a daily driver at least.
cool man keep up the great content even though you're waiting on your new whip ;)
Nice review. Good morning from Jamaica.
you should do another one with this beast
daaaaaayum we love BMW !!!! i have xdrive on my 5series F10 and i'm loving it !!!!
Great review. I hope you'll get the chance to go to Germany and test the BMW on the Autobahn without speed limit.
Great video mike
I'll be honest with you, i'm always skeptical with self made car reviewers however I really enjoyed that one! thanks
I own a 19, the launch is what makes this car so amazing, with the tune that i have i can beat almost any other car on the road.
What kind of tune did you get and what are your new numbers
Hay Man! love your Video you are so very professional.Love the Car.
I just buy a 2018 M550i yesterday from bmw with only 41k Miles I can’t wait to really drive it on the high way
Such a beast!
