BMW 5 Series Touring 2018 in-depth review | carwow Reviews

The BMW 5 Series Touring has competed towards the top of its class since it was first introduced back in 1991. New for 2017 is the fifth generation of the sporty executive estate, and it’s aiming for rivals like the Mercedes E-Class Estate and the Volvo V90. So does it still have what it takes to fight for class honours? To find out, I’ll take a look at its interior design, practicality, infotainment system and hit the road in my full in-depth review.

I still love that BMW is using knobs for ac and other things. Honestly when driving is so much better than touch screens. Good review guys.

Did I missed the part where you come back to underfloor storage compartment in the boot?

[ItumelengS]

Why is BMW not interested in putting an M5 engine in this, with an aggressive body kit?

[palmerbytaylor]

the amount of time and engineering gone into that car is astonishing, it's really incredible

[betterbeavailable]

Those 3D rims on the dials makes them special and unique. I like those. Fully flat screen is just dull.

The Net is actually designed to keep cargo from coming into the passenger cabin in a crash. Really smart safety feature

[vatrica]

I just love the 5 series wagon trunk, already on the e61 they had all those smart features and also some cargo dividers that are just genius... And my favorite thing, the opening hatch that can open independent from the trunk door

Just wanted to say it's awesome that you don't saddle us subscribers with every single video, like the infotainment ones that less people are interested in. Love the reviews, keep them up !

What is it with car reviewers and interiors?
If there's loads of buttons, they say it looks "confusing".
So BMW remove 90% of the buttons and now they say "It looks bland!"

[OnlineHousehusband]

That just looks bloody great!!! 5 stars from me. My 335d replacement. 🔥👌🏼👍🏼

I’ve just bought a 68 plate one of these. Probably the favourite car I’ve purchased in 20 years, all the car you’ll ever need. Alongside my Alfa 156 that obviously blew up.

E class estate vs 5 series touring vs A6 avant

[kaiserkarl]

I find your reviews enjoyable, in fact so much that i nowadays watch them as soon as they come out no matter what car it is about, (off course i like your Volvo reviews a liiitle more) ....good job! Greeting from Sweden...

[sasoperme]

Got it in almost exact same trim. Really good car. Fuel economy is on par with 2l diesel.

[kamata]

That old 90s BMW 5 series touring in the middle arm rest. Nice touch!

[Van-Hammer]

So if the seats aren't comfy enough you can just sit on the roof and make your way down the highway. Nice!

[sachirayapa]

Great video as always, Mat! Keep It up.

[MsKmshow]

great video as usual please make one on ford kuga hyundai tucson and seat ateca comparative peace

A positive bmw feature missed here are the auto adaptive LED Headlights. They are incredible in terms of maximising night visibility safely. Consider doing a group night drive test for those very high/ low hemisphere country's where we have VERY long winter nights.
