This is the sexiest 5 series BMW has ever designed. Forget lambos and Ferraris just gimme this!

[@stuartthomas4836]

I have just had a new 530e and it’s really wonderful. Great review.

[@ilovejimrogers]

£90,000 and you still pay for seat memory! Hahaha

[@packetswitch_net]

Typical BMW 😊 Remember they wanted charge for Carplay every year

[@nhlakaniphozimu7086]

M5 competition is AWD as well, I noted you described it as a RWD on that description list

[@manofsesame3024]

M5 XDrive is AWD. The base is RWD. But in some markets only XDrive is available for M5.

"The BMW 5 Series is undoubtedly a big car. But it's very much the kind of car that you drive, rather than be driven in." Don't tell our Dutch government ministers. They're being driven in 5 Series and Audi A6s. Yeah, we're a modest people.

[@JREVY22DECEPTICON416]

The 5 series is great 👍

[@hopeellen3173]

it really is!

If you’re coming out of a 10 year old 1 Series into a brand new M550i then something in your life has just got way better..! 😂

A polite request... Im asking All car reviewers and Auto Journalists to do the same. Please show and let us know detailed information about the tyre that comes with the new vehicle (Brand, type, summer/winter/all-season, speed, size and general auto industry tyre reviews grading of the tyre - meaning, good, average, bad))
Why? 2 Reasons...
1. The tyre is the most important safety feature of any car, as it is the ONLY thing that connects the vehicle with the road, regardless of how good or poor the car is itself.
2. By Auto Journalists and car CZcamsrs doing this, it will hopefully start vehicles manufacturers taking note. It may even hopefully push them towards going with best ranked tyre manufacturer, or at least offering different tyres for a customer to have a choice that will be put on the vehicle, with the best available tyre, as well as a tyre that is suitable for the time of year that it is sold.
For example, living in Northern Scotland, UK, every time i pick-up a new car, often in December, regardless of European car manufacturer, they 'only' put summer tyres on it for the UK market. Yet the safe and sensible customer focused safety thing to do, would be putting on All Season tyres as a minimum. So for last 10 years, every new car i have had (5), from picking the car up at a dealership, within 30 minutes I've had to drive straight to a tyre specialists (If road conditions allow and no snow or ice) and put on Winter Tyres and in recent years with tyre technology, All Season tyres. This is often an extra £1000+ cost on top of what I've just paid for the vehicle. It is crazy and frustrating car manufactures will not listen or change and car nothing to the safety of their customers, certainly in the UK market.
Thank-you..

Most reviewers are told what they're allowed to talk about. You'll have to watch reviews of actual buyers for real everyday reviews

[@ParkersTV]

This definitely isn’t true! We’re never told what to say, everything is honest feedback from time with the car. 👌

[@richarddastardly6845]

Doesn’t even come with ACC as standard, better off with a vw,shame really

🧐

[@richarddastardly6845]

@@ParkersTV - Real talk. All that money and one can’t even get split rear seats or ACC as standard , like wtf

[@taladon6420]

"More fashionable SUV-rivals"??? Wtf

[@ParkersTV]

To the average UK car buyer, SUVs are indeed more fashionable and desirable - as controversial as that may seem!

[@kksf1481]

Like anyone in the universe has traded up from a 10 year old 1 series to an M550... 🙄
