Great review Anthony! I love the power and sounds that engine makes and the looks of the refresh. Disappointed that BMW cheaped out on some elements for a car in that price range. Hope that you are doing great always!

I agree overall it’s a great vehicle but holding back on interior and features I want not so happy with. Thanks James

Great review

Thank you

You can spend a little more and get a 840i. The 8 is the best looking 4 door out there. The interior quality is amazing and you still get the favorite buttons and hard buttons for climate. I would definitely go that option if you can spend more. Saw a new 5 in person a few days ago and was not impressed. I am a BMW fan but don't like the direction they are taking.

They are nice 👍

Why did they get rid of the shifter? Who the hell wants to flip a button to change gears? I always use my right hand on the shifter. Ridiculous.

Why would you not review the m sport version?

Good review. This is the spec I would choose. Unfortunately sharper handling comes at the price of ride quality and I live in the land of potholes and uneven pavement. If I had smooth roads, I'd def go MSport. Thankfully, BMW has ditched the runflat tires for these narrow sidewall modern cars.

Im looking at 540i for $78 or 530i for$67k....leaning toward 540i is it worth it? Thinking to trade in my 22 full M sav. Too rough bouncy ride for me. My problem is touch screen and auto start, stop...bs

The 540i is worth the upgraded price in performance, it’s smooth but the auto start/stop unfortunately is a problem I have too. The touchscreen I didn’t like when the started them on the iX but I have found it to be easy to use. The pixels are not as sharp but if you want performance and a smooth ride 540i. 530i is good but you can feel the difference.

They cut costs IMO in terms of quality. 2023 was the last good looking series 5

@@HawkeyeRidesthey replaced the leather with plastic and that's unacceptable for a 5 series that's supposed to be luxury lol. They even did it in the 3 series but that's the 3. Feel that we are paying more for new tech

Thanks for the review. You barely mentioned any positives about the car other than it going fast with straight line acceleration. Were there any other positives?

The pros are thought the video -smaller 7 series, more luxurious and faster than the competition -upgraded sound system is price less (big pro 😁) -plush drive -soft seats -the most seat adjustment compared to any competition -fun to drive -more tech with 5 g -the iconic sounds that come in side These are a few points I talked about with more through out the review 👍

Why does it remind me so much of a 1999 GS300?

Old styling is in now 👍

Its bizarre the quality drop from the G30 to the G60. The buttons feel cheaper, the plastics are cheaper, there is less leather, no soft touch on the bottom of the door. For a 5 Series, completely disappointing.

I didn’t like the drop in luxury either it’s a great vehicle but it’s still a 5 series which we need the extra touch over the 3 series.

@@HawkeyeRides yeah, I don't understand. Usually the new gen is better in the quality department, especially in the 5. But the G60 broke the trend

He's super yummy!
