Every new BMW makes me love the previous models more and more

[j.r.]

While it’s good to hear the mention of no acoustic glass and the wireless charging only being on one side, I’m surprised reviews like this don’t mention all the other missing features that previous 5-series’ had, like no soft close doors, no ambient lighting on the rear doors, no seat back pockets, no door sill plaques, no comfort access on the rear door handles, etc. It seems like BMW has stripped out a ton of features for cost cutting

Anyone else getting Skoda Octavia vibes from the styling?

[PTRarch]

If "one of the best things" on a car is an "ambient lightbar", doesn't that raise any questions? It's like buying a new mobile phone because it has a better camera, but the main function, making a call, is just like any other... Where did we get lost on the purpose and function of things?

[Peregarik]

I like how 4:49 the tail lights already have condensation that will shortly kill the led lights. Nothing majorly changed from f10 times xD

[per-akeskog]

This looked so much better than the ones i've seen with a lighter bodycolour.. everything just blends together a bit more.
But can someone please tell all manufacturers that pianoblack isnt a sign of luxury, it just looks cheap! And that goes for both interior and exterior...

[TheSenna]

They have managed to turn the finest looking model in their line-up into an oddly proportioned far-eastern design... Kudos to BMW....

[TheUkdan]

I'm going to hold on to my 2019 3-touring for as long as possible.

£97 THOUSAND POUND?! I almost choked on my coffee and spat it out 😂

[shakesnbake]

The 5 series has always been classy - but I cant get over the fact that it's as long as an S-Class from the 90's!

One of my cars is a plain jane, E39 525i m sport in silver metallic. Over 400 000km on the clock and you can still be sitting there and forget you have the engine running. So smooth. I'm not even the primary driver of it anymore, but it is peak BMW in my opinion, behind the m5 version.

The front looks like a Skoda Octavia after a head on collision

[leemace]

At least the BMW designers haven’t ruined the look unlike the 7, 2, M3 and that weird SUV thing I don’t even know the number 😂

[glonetworks]

CarPlay is a must have for me. Ditched my S for an i4. Love it. And like the look of this.

[vinayhulikere]

Its like BMW doesn’t want to make good looking cars anymore 😂

[toweliethetowel]

Watching Reviews of E-cars launching from 0-60 feels like watching the same iPad review over and over again...

[scotk]

Who ever designed the dash Is still having trouble with The square peg round hole dilemma

[joseloera]

It’s never too much keep up the work bmw I love these M’s especially the g80’s

[MiniEggs]

Looking forward to the touring. Do the PHEV's have a "step" in the boot?

[Lindani_Mvano]

I come to these for the cars & leave with fashion tips. My boy looking fresh as always 😎
