2024 BMW 530i xDrive — New G60 5 Series First Impressions

Yess, 500th like. Let's go!

the 2012 5 series was the best looking one. this is hideous, I'm sorry....my 330i looks soooo much better.

So I’m still confused about how you put in drive and park and reverse? Is there a button? Sorry for any car fans I new and just puzzled that’s all

call me crazy but i just loove how it looks

They’re going for a more edgy look. I think they should’ve kept the front more mature looking just like the previous ones.

I can’t stop looking at my 2022 G30 (540i)! This one needs some getting used to…

As always, I loved the video, but... I don't remember you calling everything with a Z ZED? I know that's the way the Brits say it, but it's a ZF, not a ZEDF... Just like how in Boston, they mistakenly call a Harley Davidson a Holly Davidson. It's not a Holly Carb, it's a Harley Davidson like it's spelled. Same with Z... It's not spelled ZED, it's spelled Z. Our way is the correct way of saying it based on the spelling. Other than that, which made me laugh... Amazing review! 👍

Will there be a 530d version ?

It just gets uglier and uglier with every generation doesn't it. Jesus Christ what is that thing,

Look like a 2 series 😢😢

Ugly design

Can’t stand that stubby trunk design. It looks like a hatchback..
But then again, the rest of the car looks mediocre

kynda shit

The sound insulation under the hood is usually only for diesel engines

Very good review. The 2024 530iX is my fifth BWM. I have watched several of these videos and the same things you don't like the others do or vice versa. For all of the carping about the design changes it is still a BMW at heart and it is still an outstanding luxury sports sedan. Yes, I said sports sedan. Some of us who drive the 5 Series aren't fond of cushy, drab luxury cars. Why did I get the M Sport package? Because I like the look. Those of us who actually buy the cars generally have a different set of values from the car enthusiast who just looks. Not a criticism just a fact. Here are a few other points: The new 5 series was designed to accommodate either a gas, electric, or hybrid power plant without major design modifications. That is what is driving many of the changes that you see in BMW cars. The larger design accommodates the underfloor battery in the I series and the extended dash is what most luxury cars are going to BMW is just in the lead. Check out the Mercedes E Series. Another major factor driving BMW's design is the tastes of European Drivers. We tend to forget in this country that not everything is made just for us. Some of the other reviewers couldn't stop complaining about the lack of real wood and leather which is still an option to some degree but many European drivers would rather have more environmentally friendly materials. That is not my top priority when choosing the interior of a car but there you go. The point I am making is that when you look at a European produced car take into consideration who they are competing against not just in the U.S. but in Europe and what their customers in that market want. I love driving my 530iX.

They made the car alongside its EV counterpart (i5) so it makes sense they shaped it as it is for efficiency.

BMW is lost when it comes to automotive design. Just awful. Especially when their design language was amazing from late 70’s to 00’s

In the U.K. we are stuck with either the Full electric or plug in hybrids.
THANKS BMW!!!!!

I don’t Like This new 5series I think is not BMW IS like robot car

Looks generic, lazy design, cheap materials.

bmw really ruined this model with all this futuristic tech stuff. i rlly miss the old days back bmw with way less screen and a manual gear box

Looks rather bad. 2018 model looks significantly better.

I hate the fact the call this a 530, there isnt it supposed to be a 520? All marketing bs

$70k oh my. This car cost close to $400k in my country. 😢

Terrible ! And the leases are gonna be awful ! We gotta head about chip shortages ! And some new stories

Always the same shit

The Dash extremly ugly, I never will buy this car with this dashboard

After having owned several 5series cars this might be the first one I`m not going to buy. Here's why:

- Headlights are worse in comparison to G30 laser light
- They swapped a lot of high-quality materials to plastic
- A lot of classic buttons have been deleted, the freely programmable buttons (1-8) in particular - one of the most ergonomic and handy things you can have
- I-Drive controller isn't as handy and precise as it used to be

The car simply looks less "premium" overall than its predecessor, while it is actually more expensive.

Cheap plastic parts all over. This car reeks cheap. BMW cost cutting unacceptable

This is an absolutely beautiful machine.
Fast, luxurious and can massage you!
This is definitely better than the e-class.
The outgoing was just something else though, in good way.

If this car had frosted tail lights then it would look awsome

The complaint I have with the design is that is looks very generic.
It looks like a Chinese copy of a BMW.

It just looks swollen, as if its allergic to something…like maybe being a good drivers car?

if you see it for real, it looks much better... i wasnt a fan when i saw the first videos... but changed my mind

When did BMW start making Camrys?

GRILL IS GROTESQUE.....

Doors sounds tinnie

Man it looks like shit compared to G30 and the LCI version…..

"I am not feeling any sort of fatigue yet"...OK dude, shocking you really don't feel fatigued the entire 3 minutes into the drive? Good seats review. Guess what? I also don't feel fatigue on a 5 min train ride. If you have nothing to say just don't say silly stuff. You're welcome.

They need to come up with there own things, they are following Mercedes and using cheaper versions of things and trying to twist it, Mercedes is innovating this to me is just such a wanna be just not it

it looks much better with the normal grill the I5 is hideous

70k for vague steering and an uninspiring 4 cylinder. 😬

made in USA or German?

It looks like sh*t. The slab sides and big a*se are awful.

Nasa we have lift off

The sporty look has been lost with this model…

U.G.L.Y.

No thanks.

Dude seriously, who made the executive decision to put these designs through the final production model? Like I really want to see who proudly said "Yup, this is the best we have in BMW design." Because I can guarantee you this is not it. This new generation has to be the worst I have seen from BMW.

As a G31 530d x drive. I find it very much meah. Nothing about it floats my boat or would want me to upgrade in fact I consider it a down grade.

I'm confused, this looks like a chinese imitation of a "BMW" to skirt copyright laws.
What a sad design. This will completely blend in with the traffic, no speciality in the design whatsoever. Just another brick in the wall.
