      Warning -- the fake leather is very bad for the environment. IT is a man made non-natural material that will not degrade for 100,000 year as it leaches chemicals and oils into the environment. Animals will be ingesting trace elements from that so-called "fabric" for thousands of years as it poisons the environment. DO NOT be selfish and short sighted. Natural products are always better for the earth than fake ones. Go with the natural leathers, metals, woods etc. All of them are renewable and degrade harmlessly when you dispose of them. Think GREEN and go GREEN. Say no to fake products.

    I'm curious Thomas... Do you know or have knowledge of the BMW 545e (yes the hybrid nomenclature) Will that powertrain be coming to the states in the form of this new 5 series? I know it's available in the X5 SAV, but I'm more intrested in the 5 series sedan myself. I'd actually buy this version of the new 5 series! The new 535ei w/ all wheel drive of course! Also...Has BMW gone all in on the chinese market with that expansive semi-limo look in the passengers backseats? Does the mantra from BMW "The ultimate driving machine" still apply? I ask since I am the driver.

      @@Mariini For years, decades, the posers who owned standard BMW cars would sometimes place a M badge in front of the model number. M528i, M540i M325i etc. It got so bad in Southern California, practically everyone who owned any BMW put a M in front of their number! Now BMW themselves are placing the M in front of some of their lesser model cars. I don't care for this styling cue and it really does cheapen the genuine M badge that comes on the various models of their highest performing cars.

      Seems like there is room for something between standard models and top hardcore sports variants. Audi & Mercedes also do it. I agree that adding your own m badge to a standard BMW is pretty tragic, but m-lite models are not standard. Anyway, enthusiasts will know the difference, and non-enthusiasts don’t care either way...

    Thomas loves his vegan seats. IF I was in the market for these kinds of high-end cars, I'd want the seats to be ventilated and heated!

    Your political views have you now delusional. SensaTec (vinyl plastic) "feels better that the top Merino leather on the seats? I was given a loaner car with SensaTec seats and they are far from even mid grade leather let alone the flagship level Merino Leather. Another correction. Rear entertainment touch screens are two completely separate GPS units and devices than the front for entertainment and car/ambient lighting control. They can mirror the front or be completely independent. In other words there can be 3 separate GPS systems that can be operated at the same time. They are actually the best in the industry.

      Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. As a start, please tune in to what the animal leather industry tried to do here with our channel: czcams.com/video/nP_CvLlaFlI/video.html
      In general, depending on the animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat would be the reason no.1 in other cases, the hide remains one of the most profitable body parts. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you accept it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and destroys the environment, you make them more profitable. Also, if you turn the argument around "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize how biased the argument is. After all, would you care for which exact body part you would be murdered? Or imagine someone robs you on the street and beats you to death - would it matter to you if it was for your Smartphone or for your purse?
      The animal agriculture industry occupies 2/3 of all farm land on this planet which cannot be used for direct human nutrition then. That is extremely inefficient. The no.1 cause for deforestation is the animal industry. It is also one of the biggest contributor to climate change. The amount of land, resources, energy and water being used is beyond imagination.
      For the alternative, you can either use artificial fabrics which can be made from recyclables (we have already shown a lot of vehicles that use great fabric seats from PET-bottles etc.) or more and more also from plant-based materials (like Pinatex). And even if you would create a seat completely with petroleum without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is nothing in comparing just to once fueling up your car.
      In practical reasons, fabric or microfibre seats are just more useful. You do not sweat in summer and it is not cold in winter. And if you want the slick look or something to wipe clean easier, that is possible with animal free leatherette.
      Using animal skin on seats is a major issue of animal rights, human rights - and after all it is just common sense what is better both for the environment and just more practical and more luxurious for the customer. We cannot change what we have bought in the past (that also counts for ourselves of course!), but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.

      The rest of the car is so smooth and aero (they all are now in this class) that it doesn't take much to ruffle the airflow just a little, and hence reduce lift at the very rear at very high speeds. Could let you drive 150 on a wet road in crosswind without crashing, vs "only" 147....... Rather academic for most anyone sane. But then again, the auto industry had pretty much solved all genuinely pressing practical dynamic driving problems by 1995 at the latest. And heck, darned near anything has got to be more important than shaving a tenth of a second per lap around Burgerking, with some professional hotshoe at the wheel.

    Not sure how to feel. Will never spend this much on a new car. Family & community have much better uses for the excess $.
    As for a used purchase in the US, BMW are a luxury brand. They are complicated, require proprietary information, and as a result require rare highly compensated technicians.
    The reputation in the US for used BMWs needing repairs at staggering costs are legend .. and often.
    So, the depreciation is massive. The choice between used reliable Japanese competitors and higher performance German brands is an interesting one. Like a entertaining a crazy diva, you will only do it once.
    Plus, with President Biden's carbon tax coming at the carbon source, gas prices are likely to skyrocket. Perhaps to four times current prices to actually curtail US carbon emissions. (That's the % of increase during the Oil Cartel embargo of 1972, the one shock that actually reduced US carbon dioxide output substantially).

A bit like an obese guy, with a clean shaven double chin hanging down below his well manicured grin..... Not that either of them look bad; but with the new pedestrian friendly hood shapes, I don't feel taller grilles are hurting looks at all. Especially in long-hooded designs like the 4. BMW has generally been the most daring of the stalwart Germans, wrt design. With their typical 4 series customer the most daring of all. It only make sense to introduce such a "radical" (by German standards) design on that model.
