BMW 5 Series Touring 2018 review | Mat Watson Reviews
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The all-new BMW 5 Series Touring takes the saloon's slick styling, updated chassis, modern in-car tech and punchy engines and adds a boatload of extra practicality in the form of a roomier estate rear end. Will this E-Class Estate, Audi A6 Avant and Volvo V90 rival lead the field of does BMW's latest effort disappoint? I head to the international launch in Germany to find out.

Own one since December 2019 and now driven 78000 km. This review helped me make the purchase. I was at BMW today and saw the new BMW 5 series which has sharper lines and looks more futuristic. This version while older still looks fine and is ageing well😊

i m looking to buy one from 2020 with 70000-100000KM. is eiter this or the 2020 3 serie?. im doing highways everyday 140+Km so yea whats ur oppinion? and cost u had already execept maintenance?

@@thibo764 you need to decide first between the 3 and 5 series. If you are alone most of the time then 3 series is more than enough. If you travel a lot with family and if there are adults going to sit behind then definitely 5 series. But i think 3 series should be “adequate” for 90% of usage. If you drive upwards of 140km everyday then I would recommend the 330D or 530D which comes with the 3 litre 6 cyclinder engine. If I could do it again then I would probably go for the 545e LCI version which has the 3 litre 6 cyclinder engine and also has the battery useful for short distances. The car has low maintenance costs. In my case I had an issue with swing arms in the front suspensions which was not diagnosed correctly do ended up having to change brakes 2 times in 12 months but BMW covered a lot of the cost. Aside from the issue with brakes, just had couple of minor issues with the TPMS sensors. Rest was all regular service and maintenance related to oil changed etc. If you are financially smart and disciplined then 330D or 530D from 2019-20 is the way to go!!!

thx for this knowledge. im kinda scared for the maintenace cost of the 3liters diesels. + in my country they punish u very badly with high taxes for the 3 liters caus ur not saving the earth..... . main reason to use is for work but also for holidays . im checking to see if i find some 3 liters perhaps. but the taxes are a triplle of the 2 liter diesels. thx for the info @@FABM27

Excellent review. Great points made on the Tailgate and the Steering.
My god, what a gorgeous side profile. Especially towards the rear.
Did you test the gesture control system what happens when you are making the sign of the cross on yourself? Does it initiate an emergency breaking?
how did you get one with the steering wheel on the proper side 😋😋😋

The knee trick, I believe is the best quirk about the car. I can't tell if the engineers missed that or someone in the team thought "Why should I have my hands on the steering, when I can have my knee and just cruise?!"

Thanks KZread recommendations for making me watch a Matt review from 2 years ago 😍
Nice vid! Btw: will you ever do a review of the M550d Touring anytime soon?
Even Matt is aware of how weather changes depending of whether your are inside or outside :-) Lovely car. Just like almost any BMW !
I tested the 530d xdrive touring and 550d xdrive saloon and i have to say that it is the most confortable car i have ever driven, it is hard to point out anything bad about it except the turning radius
My uncle has a new 5 series saloon and I must say, the gesture control feature is just 👌
@0:19 The automatic steering adjustment for easy hop in and steering column back to its place when the door closed is extremely detailed tech comfort 👍
I'd still go for the saloon but I have two questions about the 530d. 1) does it use AdBlue to deal with NOX, and 2) what's the turbo lag like. I went from an X6 4.0d to a Macan S Diesel and I really notice the missing turbo.
I don't know why but estate cars are sexy
My favourite is the awesome headlights that splits in the middle to not blind others. It feels a bit like Moses when he split the ocean in two. I never tire from watching it xD
fantastic car, with the v90 are the best for me. hey matt, i want to see a comparison test between 5touring, v90 and E class !!!!! is possible to see in future?
one think it still has the gear lever, not necessary in today's car.. but it's really really awesome.. tq bro.
i liked that you showed us the car mostly rather than your face like some other car reviewers wich i hate them for showing their face 90% of the time. good job.
Yes this car is great. I had a chance to be taken for a trip in this car 2017 3L Disel ( base 3L) and it is phenomenal. 2018 must be even better I guess although looks the same. Perhaps they added more gadgets. Acceleration, smoothness of this car is great. If I could afford it would be in my garage right now. The owner told me that he did a trip London - Berlin in it and averaged 48 mpg and wasn't driving economically doing more than 100+ m/hr where he could, which is great for such a fast and big car.
As a true Swede I always prefer the estate versions of cars.

Cheers, Mat. Cracking looking car.
please do a comparison of BMW X1, AUDI Q2 and SUZUKI VITARA.
I like the interior much better than any future concepts lol. I like that bms has a cd player still, as I love using cds.
it's a shame that all manufacturers don't use the lift tail gate feature on their estate car.....that said I love this car and all it's features.

I have to say this 5 series touring does look pretty good , im a fan of Audi estate cars the A6 in my opinion is the nicest looking estate car especialy in S line but this new 5 series does look great aswell. Btw i like the new intro being a little different then as always '' This is the new ....... '' Love your videos Matt you're one of the best at the moment keep up the good work :)
you should review the Eclass estate 2017
Brilliant review! Love it. :)
Gorgeous car but I still prefare the Saloon version.Great if you have alot to carry I guess.
This is an awesome car. However at the end of the review, I was stuck with a thought about buying this thing second hand and the possibilities of all of this tech going wrong...
Love touring
Trying to decide on a 540i and Volvo V90 T8. My wife likes SUVs though so might be an X3 M40i or Volvo XC60 T8. Can’t decide at all.
I drove one for a hire car a diesel M Sport it was nice to drive and the seats were semi comfy not as sumptuous as a Merc,my C-class was getting fixed so had this for 2 wks.A thirsty car but cruises nicely the downside I found was they say the media system is better than mercedes but I found the opposite also no folding door mirrors when locking the car in a car park..nice car but heavy compared to my mercedes c-class thought the bow equal is the E class.But when you put your foot down from starting off it goes but you can feel the cars weight, which in turn makes you feel safe but like I said it's thirsty.
Looks fantastic.
waiting for uk spec review
Really nice ute, but sadly we won't be able to see it very often in the streets due to the plethora of SUV's out there.
Mat, do a review on the 4 series
Trying to work out the red tape.. Bmw no longer offer in the states... but heard a rumor that we can still order them... the 2020 530d is what i leaning towards...
best looking wagon beside V90.
Can you review an M3 please? (Including practicality)
Can you get the touring with the M550i 4.4 litre V8??
Future classic
When you drive it via key,does it stop when its about to hit smth?

Review Insignia 2017 !
but everything in the 5 series is in the 7 series right? is there anything extra?

I fucking love the knee on the wheel! So simple!
Fantastic car. I wish I had that bmw.
Was it a problem to drive on a different side of the road?
So the system shuts off and lets the car out of control after 10 seconds and it doesn't stay in lane any longer if you don't keep your hands on the steering wheel. What's the point of it then if it doesn't keep the car in lane?
I love you4 reviews

Really like the look of these 5ers and used prices aren't so much different than a 3er, it's just a pity that many UK roads & towns (car parks) are a little small for the size of it - although is it really as bad as I think??
