BMW 5 Series review (2010 to 2016) | What Car?

i dont get this 48 mpg can someone tell me how litres per km is that

A useful and very good review, you should be on Top Gear with Evans

You should have reviwed a 6 cylinder petrol... plz

Where are the fog ligths? In Serbia they are standard on 5 Series for 20 years.

He needs to be more precise when comparing with competitors.

Great Drive, great to look at but the ride is horrendous! Unsupportive and hard seats on the normal SE models.

This car is so boring to look at, ugly frankly.

This is a great car review! They will also inform you about the reliability.

what color is the interior featured in this video? Beige or white?

Nice review.

very good video , well done

I've had my 5 series for 2 years with no reliability issues at all. Best car I've had by a mile.

Had one serious problem with my BMW 525d only 48500 miles 6 years old and the rear air suspension blew, when on holiday in Somerset 300 miles away from home address took a week to fix and £1000 not to certain on there reliability now

The new E class killed it. It is really better than any of its competitors in the same class. That car (E class) is no longer just a well made car to compete in the same class, it actually looks like a half million car at a cheaper price tag.

I personally used to love BMWs more than Mercedes-Benz, but this new E class changed everything and blew Audi, BMW, and all others out of the water.

this car or 3 series?

If you buy 520d, make sure it's after 2013 release. The pre-release until 2013 had engine problems. 2013-2017 models are very good

chain in engine prablem

In my opinion the F10 looks better then the G30

Awesome car

Bmw 520d m-sport 2013

I had a new 5 series estate, factory ordered car, for three years from May 2016. In a nutshell, this is a dramatically overrated car. Unless you specify Adaptive Suspension, the ride quality was much worse than the Ford S Max I had before it. I had reliability issues with my car concerning the EGR valve and Cooler. The engine was consuming coolant. There was a worldwide recall for this fault, but BMW France never contacted me or offered to replace the EGR. In the end I had the job done in the UK.

Servicing costs were astronomic. The car had poor straight line stability on motorways and needed constant correction. The Comfort/Sport seats were hard and uncompromising, causing my legs to ache. Fuel economy though was excellent averaging a hard 42 mpg overall during three years of mainly motorway driving. I had the 518d model with the automatic gearbox, but I believe the 520d is more economical still.

I am glad I have experienced a 5 series mainly due to all the hype surrounding this car, but I wouldn’t buy another one. I now drive a very underrated car: a Renault Talisman Intens Paris 160edc estate. It is more comfortable than the 5 series, doesn’t need adaptive suspension to ride well, has incredible four wheel steering, is much cheaper to service and repair, is loaded with kit and has the best seats this side of custom made Recaro’s.

What about the 550i...

If you care about fuel efficiency, buy a Honda, not a BMW. If you want to have a car worth driving, then you buy a BMW.

Why is everyone such a cuck these days?

My 2018 BMW 530 required warranty repair after 8K miles, that said, these are cracking cars and worth paying more for extras

2013 535i M Sport Graphite Grey w/ JB4 & MHD and Motorsports /// Exhaust .. best car I’ve ever owned and ive only had it for less than 20 days 😆

Still prefer the 3rd gen 5-series

I love mine. I've had it for 3 years. We don't have them in diesel in the USA.
I have had to get ignition coils, battery, starter, belt tensioner, and an oil gasket that was leaking. Now, they say I will need a new radiator. They said it's a common problem with these cars.

The 3.0 diesels are as frugal as the 2.0d,my 535d does well in the fortys mpg at m way limits.Around mid thirtys around town isnt too bad either,the plus being the 300 bhp is all you need.

Hello, I was 25 when this video came out. Pretty good still.

This car is a piece of garbage the engine fell on 70,000 miles what a disappointment

E60 was infinitely more handsome and looks modern still. This looks like a xeroxed 3 series.

528i and 535i are better equipped and more refined than their Diesel counterpart. In Canada we are fan of the xdrive 4WD version for obvious reasons. Reliability is way better with petrol models too. Thank for the nice review mate. Cheers from Canada !

Anyone with any views on the 520d Manual 2014? Thinking of buying one?

A joke of a 5 series all its good for is crusing down the motorway & eny new car up to 5 yrs old should be trouble free see wat it's like after 10 yrs compared to the last of the real 5 series E39 the F10 is an embarrassment to the history of the 5 series in my opinion forget keeping up with the new car crew who realy arnt car men attol get the best E39 you can find even when something needs replacing it's dirt cheap & so easy for eny mechanical minded man even if you take it to your local garage that will still when that see it in like these cars that have to go to main dealer who also smile cus there going to bust your bank with the bill

Im sorrry....e46 e46 e46.....ijs

I bought an used one out of excitement and asking price. It’s a blast just moving around in the thing, my motorcycle has just been sat because I want to take the bimmer everywhere!

Great explanation 👍✅

I've had mine for 7 years and covered 215000 miles. Still drives like new.

2018

Todos los BMW son Fantasticos, pero para mi gusto las Plataformas F10 - F11 son el diseño mas bonito que ha realizado BMW sobre la Serie 5.. en los ultimos modelos han perdido esa esencia de faros - riñones Diseño
Un saludo 🙌

Well worth seeking one of these over a 3 series. Even the 520D is quite quick …

Standard seats suck tho.

Ive had a 5series 20d (2010) 4 years now and only work ive done is brake pads. 169,000 miles now and still sweet.

What about the 535?? My 3.0 v6 is very smooth

The 528i is the most reliable modern looking bmw , dont do turbos, more heat more pressure more leaks not worth it . Looks for days like the 69 Mustang. They just did it right

Worth adding electric mirrors, seats, boot and HK sound system it suits the car more

why does everyone overlook the 535i ? It's an amazing engine

What about 523i
