I might be in the minority but I like the look of this new car a lot. The other one was so generic. It was not special. This has presence. Same with the 7 Series. I also like the iX. The X5 is a very handsome vehicle with very well balanced proportions but the iX is unique and not ugly at all. What I am not happy about is the new interiors. I have loved BMW interiors since the 1970s. I don't mind the screen but I would integrate the screens into the car more and perhaps the controls on a vertical screen to almost mimic the driver focus on old. Then give the passenger their own controls
For me, the BIGGEST deal-breaker is the loss of physical HVAC/climate controls; I just can't fathom taking my eyes off the road to fiddle with the climate controls on the screen. I'm glad I bought my 2023, the G30, in its final year with the physical buttons.
What a ridiculous statement. So I guess you never turn the music station, look at your phone, or check the navigation in your current car? It takes all of 3 seconds to adjust any HVAC controls. Grow up.
I don’t know why people say this is a poor design. The car is very nice in my opinion. It’s different and doesn’t follow the style of the E-class. I love both this 5 series and the E class and I don’t agree the merc looks better. It’s just different
I'm currently reviewing one and I can't get the interior camera to work, it has it I see it the window sticker says it, but I can't find the app. does it need like turned on? thanks
This is a hit and miss which overall makes me like the last gen more. This looks like it got more plastic which is a turn off for a car that's over 60k and not having exposed exhaust is also a turn off. Idk I do like the ambient lighting and new screen but that's about it tbh
THIS NEW 5 SERIES LOOKS WAAAAAAAY BETTER IN PERSON THAN ON CAMERA!!!!! YOU DON'T GET TO SEEE THE SLEEK ANGLES ON CAMERA!!!! IT ACTUALLY LOOKS REAL BEAUTIFUL!!!!! BUT THE NEW 2024 MERCEDES E CLASS IS MORE BEAUTIFUL, AND LUXURIOUS!!!! BOTH IN PERSON AND ON CAMERA ❤❤❤❤
I'm not so sure on the rear of the vehicle. Or the front-end end I'm going to have to see the vehicle in person. However I will say the interior is wayy better
My wife's and my favorite car was a 535 a couple cars back. This is hideous in and out and would never consider it. Nice job with the review. You guys do very consistent reviews.
Disagree with you on that, I've test driven an m-sport 520i and the interior is actually very high quality, it's as good if not slightly better than the previous one.
That big, black lip-like below the grill doesn’t flow. It should be smaller and sit lower. Overall, it’s not a design that many will be attracted to at that price point in my opinion. Better options available.
You are blocking the best parts of your rolling shots with that big red banner. There has to be another way to do that without blocking the entire car while it's rolling.
The hood is so thick near the windshield. The rear trunk is too slanted, the overall profile is awful. It looks bad compared to the current 5 series. The nose is worse than the current M3/M4 deaign, which I started to like. The interior is fine, just need to ditch that glossy piano black
It's good to see BMW didn't give the new 5-Series the huge buckteeth like they did the 7-Series. Thank you BMW for keeping the 5-Series an attractive car.
nah man 7 series proportionally is better looking, a split headlights and big grille tells you its a 7 series, this 5 series looks like a mashup of a Accord front end with a BMW grille and Camry rear end, hard pass for me, G30 elegance is hard to beat
“Ultimate Driving Machine” more like “Ultimate Tech Machine”. I’m never selling my 2011 BMW 328i xDrive Sports Wagon, with the wonderful 6 speed Manual. If I do end up needing to sell, I’ll be buying a Porsche. BMW has lost its way..
Tons of high gloss black plastic, cheap looking un integrated screens, different colored back middle headrest, and horrible exterior styling are just some of this cars faults
Too much focus on trying to be sleek resulting in a cheap look. The answer isn’t to just throw a big screen in it and call it luxury. There’s no design, just no soul. Prior gen is better aesthetically as expected.
The side profile looks a lot like a current gen Corolla IMO.That said,I love the traditional looking front end! What the hell were they thinking designing the 7 series?! Yuck 🤮 I’ll take this over the 7 series or the E class any day! I’d also go with the turbo inline six to keep it traditional..
It doesn't look anything like a corolla, it looks like a traditional 5 series, the looks of the car are growing on me, I'm liking it more, the more I see it.
7 series still looks better nonetheless, its overall proportions look better than the overstyled 5 series, and oh not to mention the ugly rear and front overhang of the 5 pisses me off, coming from a G30 owner and 2 gens of S classes
@@conoconnor4375 well its like comparing the 2 series coupe (G42) to the 3 series (G20), like the 2 series, the 5 series is massive overstyling although it has the normal grill, and 7 series has the Rolls Royce kinda presence especially the boxy front profile predominantly the headlights and the grille design as well, also to say the least the new S class doesn't look any better, better in a sense thats boring and bland like a Tesla then that is
@@seansiew5629 Look, at the end of the day car designs and shapes and styling, are a bit like music, everything is subjective, one man's meat, another man's poison.
What a weird ass looking 5-Series. Too tall and bulky from the front, almost FWD proportions which are just a total sin for a 5-Series. It only looks good if you look at the top half of the car. The only thing has going for it is that it's mildly less ugly on the road. Guys, your videos are great, but the driving scenes are totally BLOCKED the red box you're putting up when listing the features of the car. Find a different way to list the features while not blocking the running footage of the car.
21 inches wheels on a midsize sedan is madness i tell you and this example has hideous interior too soon to be sold or leased out to an unclassy schmuck.
Already issues with the electronic… don’t like the sharp corners or the screens. I use to love the 5 series. I think all these Evs need to do more because they are all almost the same. The refinement and ultimate driving machine to me it’s gone! I don’t care for the games it is about performance luxury and really don’t see it. I will stick to the old 2104 5 m series
I got out the flaming hot sauce to watch this video. People gotta start taking these review cars on roads where the majority of Americans live, it's called the northeast and Midwest. Their are pot holes and no new cats do well with potholes anymore, they ride like junk, but my old 86 Caprice didn't suck. So what's up with cars.
What an awful design… Especially from the side… They will try to improve it in three years (bad sales are guaranteed) but it will be a really hard task.
Don't you mean a "big dose of sh*t" ? It's the worst looking BMW ever made, lacking any sporty or elegant lines. And the high rear end is atrocious. Was it designed in China for the Chinese market.
If you’re a hot man and you want a phat delicious chocolate donk you can buy me this car! Then you’ll get a daily dose of scrumptious yams! All you can eat cause my cakes deserve a Bimmer!!!
I'll take the 19 inches wheels non M sport, Cape York Green Metallic, Copper Brown/Atlas Grey Extended Merino Leather, BMW Individual Fineline Open Pore Light Wood now that is classy !!

Interior Looks fantastic
The performance of the 4 cylinder is impressive! The B58 is a must for me though...

A perfect BMW sedan doesn't use mostly plastic engine parts and is much more reliable, for starters.
Someday, I buy a 2024 BMW 5-series sedan.
At those prices the 5 series should have the 6-cylinder engine as standard. Stick with the 3 series.
I agree 60k plus for a 30
For me, the BIGGEST deal-breaker is the loss of physical HVAC/climate controls; I just can't fathom taking my eyes off the road to fiddle with the climate controls on the screen. I'm glad I bought my 2023, the G30, in its final year with the physical buttons.
You can always use voice control lol
@@tankdathomie Yeah but one shouldn't have to
me too. G30 530i
What a ridiculous statement. So I guess you never turn the music station, look at your phone, or check the navigation in your current car? It takes all of 3 seconds to adjust any HVAC controls. Grow up.
@@jeffleung2197 Especially custom ordered!
Insane BMW 5-series sedan I wanted to buy.

People just didn't get used to this design same as with E60. Wait 2 years. People are gonna love it
For me, there is no ugly car, there is only functional and non-functional car.
I'm currently reviewing one and I can't get the interior camera to work, it has it I see it the window sticker says it, but I can't find the app. does it need like turned on? thanks
I love the BMW 5 series! It’s really nice!! 👍
@@Brian_Eugene_Lee ok
2024 BMW 530i xDrive M Sport Package Sedan!
Magic 🪄 lane change!
what is that thing under the plug behind the front seats? My family has that car but we don't know what it does lol
Are the slats just painted on the front grill? The top especially looks that way.
Good view from my home watching BMW 5 series. Great Job
Hell sick
I like the previous 5 series better. Better i drive system and buttons.
Fantastic video as always guys!😸
Glad you enjoyed it!
It looks better than 7
nope, E class looks better than 5 and 7 looks better than S
Can you please do a review of the 2024 540i with the six cylinder? It's now available on car lots. Thanks!
Cool car but I think you will be better off with the new E class or genesis G80 instead
Explain
It is so awesome to know, that you guys were in my home state of South Carolina!! I only live about 35miles from Greenville!!
Beautiful area with good driving roads!
I LOVE THIS CAR!
I had a base model for my loaner, the M-Sport is a must imo, I had a 2016 F10 with the M-Sport package, not a M5
This is a hit and miss which overall makes me like the last gen more. This looks like it got more plastic which is a turn off for a car that's over 60k and not having exposed exhaust is also a turn off. Idk I do like the ambient lighting and new screen but that's about it tbh
nah the base previous 5 series already had a bunch of plastic.
Nice! Where’s mine?
Makes me appreciate old BMWs even more now. It’s nothing but downhill from here and out………
The interior quality really down graded but the price upgraded
Interior quality is the same as before. What you are talking about
How come there are no 2024 5 series on BMS’s web site??
Depends on where you are. They may become available to order globally later the year
THIS NEW 5 SERIES LOOKS WAAAAAAAY BETTER IN PERSON THAN ON CAMERA!!!!! YOU DON'T GET TO SEEE THE SLEEK ANGLES ON CAMERA!!!! IT ACTUALLY LOOKS REAL BEAUTIFUL!!!!! BUT THE NEW 2024 MERCEDES E CLASS IS MORE BEAUTIFUL, AND LUXURIOUS!!!! BOTH IN PERSON AND ON CAMERA ❤❤❤❤
@japanwatchconnection AWWWWW YES IT DOES!!!!! MAYBE ITS BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT IN PERSON!!!! LOL 😆 🤣
@@japanwatchconnection LOL I WAS ONLY TRYING TO HELP OUT BMW FANS!!!! I AM SO GLAD I AM A MERCEDES FANI BECAUSE THE NEW E CLASS LOOKS SOOO SEXY!!!
I'm not so sure on the rear of the vehicle. Or the front-end end I'm going to have to see the vehicle in person. However I will say the interior is wayy better
BMW is able to manufacture all drivetrains on one production line. They can easily and affordably adjust the trim mix easily.
Just got the 2024 530i. The video truly doesn’t capture the executive look this vehicle embodies
My wife's and my favorite car was a 535 a couple cars back. This is hideous in and out and would never consider it. Nice job with the review. You guys do very consistent reviews.
Thank you!
what's that light? the ones that keep flashing.
They are visible only to cameras. They are monitoring cameras for driver.
The exterior design is slowly growing on me. At first I thought it was too boxy like a Volvo s90 but now ok
I do like the front but the side profile and rear doesn’t look right for some reason…the side profile looks very odd like a Japanese sedan
interior looks too cheap compared to the previous model
Agree
Acres of plastic !! Copper Brown/Atlas Grey Extended Merino Leather with BMW Individual Fineline Open Pore Light Wood is the best in my opinion .
@@111danish111why do they think it’s a good thing to get rid of leather??
It's this new hippie world we are living in.@@PickensDon
Disagree with you on that, I've test driven an m-sport 520i and the interior is actually very high quality, it's as good if not slightly better than the previous one.
Which is better the Genesis G80 or the BMW 5 Series?
In terms of quality BMW, in terms of price Genesis
That big, black lip-like below the grill doesn’t flow. It should be smaller and sit lower. Overall, it’s not a design that many will be attracted to at that price point in my opinion. Better options available.
Is that rear middle headrest black? Lol.
Also, as G30 owner, I’m not a fan.
@@jcampbe31having driven this new one, and the current G30, it's a night and day difference with the drive.
For better or worse? Ride quality in my 540i is great.
@@jcampbe31 I concur!
Closed fake grill looks silly. Did they print a piece of paper and slapped on it?😂😂😂
This is a great looking sedan. Very clean lines, both interior and exterior and a classic front grille. Congratulations, BMW!
but nothing beats the elegance of the g30
You are blocking the best parts of your rolling shots with that big red banner. There has to be another way to do that without blocking the entire car while it's rolling.
This looks like a KIA
They’re twins for sure.
too big wheels better ride quality with 19 inch wheels the front is a bit weird too much piano plastics inside nice the g30 looks better
For me, 3 series is better look inside and outside
Disagree.
Agreed
What about M40i?
It will be entering production in November or December
😵💫😵💫 ohh myyy

Dashboard and CID are NOT 5 series at all. No difference between other BMW models
I love bmw but that thing is under powered af for that price
The best sedan from BMW with normal door handles: best exterior and interior design.
Toyota Camry in rear
I'm getting the new E series instead of this.
U must be a female. The mercedes looks way more feminine and less aggresive. This looks like a big bulky muscle car. Way more road presence
