Finally! Selfies in a car. Just what every car enthusiast has been waiting for!

[JJVernig]

It will get a lot of flack, but after al those iX, i7 and X7 and 1 series, I think it looks better than expected. The nose isn't complete hamster-teeth and there isn't a two part headlight. Inside is nice, and I just miss the 8 presets-buttons and some other physical buttons instead of another touchcontrol thingy!

If leather is out, maybe velour could make a comeback for a more silent and dampened effect in the car.

I'm really interested in seeing this in person. 3 BMWs in the driveway. Want to go electric but not a Tesla fan

[MarioDeFeliceNetworkEngineer]

I really like your reviews. Love the calm voice, no shouting and the attention to detail.

BMW design team needs a major overhaul in staff, they used to be top of the food chain when it came to design, this looks underwhelming

[nO_dNAL]

To be honest it looks dated already. The current 5 Series looks nicer. This is too bulky and the interior doesn't seem any more luxurious than a G42 2 Series.

She speaks of cars so nicely that you could be convinced an ugly Nissan jukes look as cool as rolls royce ghost

[somerandomfella]

BMW are killing it when it comes to making uglier cars👍

[mergimfera]

I think this 5 series is the 'cherry on top' when it comes to make it clear that BMW suck nowadays. Too bad we're gonna have to feel nauseous for 8 years in a row while spotting all the new series.

So if the M60 is this powerful, the M5 will surely be bonkers quick!

[Patient_Lion_BS]

The back looks nice, but the front from every angle reminds me of the 2 series grancoupe...
It just looks squashed 😐

This is meant to be a long, mid size saloon with good proportions... Ugh, feel like bmw losing their touch and as a 2019 530d owner, is disappointing to say the least...

[ChronotriggerJM]

AutoTrader is crushing it with presenters, wow. Well shot, very calming, very informative. Great review!

[Mr_Sentoo]

Being an owner of the current gen BMW 530e and I was curious about the new model but I really don’t like it 😔. The front doesn’t look as aggressive and the profile looks too soft compared to all previous model. I can definitely see the similarity to the i7 in regards to the rear of it.

[gregcooper]

See so many 1/2/3/4 series drivers with their phones in their hand I get why the selfie camera isn’t on those models. I guess the 5 series driver is a tad more mature so BMW have considered them and their selfie needs…

[asccarerra]

BMW is striving so HARD to be looked as much UGLY as possible....its arrogance gone to their heads that people will buy no matter the looks of their cars...well done BMW...way to go....keeps building cars with these facia as much as possible on as many models as possible...

[GudieveNing]

That was one of the best directed, shot, composed, scripted, presented and soundtracked car videos I have ever seen in my life. Nice job Autotrader!

[masoodrazaq]

It’s not a total home run, but looks better than many recent BMWs and quite handsome in the grey paint. I would definitely buy over a Tesla or EQE. Mercedes EV sedans are a complete design disaster. I’m very keen to see what Audi, Lexus and Genesis come out with in terms of sport sedans. 7 used to be my favorite mainstream sedan, but with the new 7 being a monstrosity, I prefer the 340 or this new 5.

[jamiep]

I enjoyed watching the Video. I hope Company Car Drivers consider the New i5. In my opinion the best 5 Series with a great Interior 😊

[desmondlesetedi]

She sounds like Vicki from 5th Gear..ànd the i5 looks nice inside. The front looks like some variety of q Peugeot.

Veganza, man they really burned the midnight oil working hard to come up with that name. LOL. If I paid you real money to work for me and to come up with a names for things and you brought me Veganza, I would fire you on the spot.
