2019 BMW 5 Series - FULL REVIEW!!

2018 BMW 5 Series Review
The 2018 BMW 5 Series is fast, comfortable and overflowing with technology.
The 2018 BMW 5 Series lives up to the expectations set by its forebears. There's an engine for nearly every taste, and the car's handling capabilities are fundamentally sound. Factor in the 5 Series' latest tech and safety features, and you've got a prime pick for a midsize luxury sedan.
BMW redesigned its 5 Series last year, giving the car updated styling and a bit more interior room without increasing weight. This year brings more changes, too. The 2018 5 Series has three new powertrain options: a plug-in hybrid (530e), a six-cylinder diesel engine (540d) and a twin-turbo V8 (M550i) that puts the car very close to BMW M5 territory. We were already fans of the base 530i and the 540i, so these additions carry an added benefit, whether it be the efficiency of the 530e and the 540d or the muscular power of the M550i.
On the technology front, BMW continues to push the envelope, offering wireless Apple CarPlay integration, natural language voice recognition, and even a cool 3-D simulation of your car from the outside (you have to see to believe) by using the optional surround-view cameras. And as far as modern driver assist aids go, BMW's are among the best.
Of course, there are other luxury sedans you should consider, including the Audi A6, the Lexus GS and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. We think highly of the 5 Series within this group, though, and it earns a solid recommendation.
what's new
Three new 5 Series variants join the lineup for 2018: the 530e iPerformance plug-in hybrid, the 540d xDrive six-cylinder diesel, and the range-topping M550i xDrive with its turbocharged V8. The 5 Series also gets some minor shuffling of options and packages this year.
we recommend
You'll very likely be content with the power from the 530i, but the extra power and more engaging sound of BMW's turbocharged six-cylinder make the 540i the 5 Series worth paying a little more for. In either case, we think the Driver Assistance Plus package, which adds a number of active safety features, is a must-have. We'd also add the Premium package to get keyless entry, heated seats and hands-free trunk opening.
trim levels & features
The 2018 BMW 5 Series is a five-passenger sedan available in five trim levels, all with different powertrains. The 530i (248 horsepower, 258 pound-feet of torque) and the 530e iPerformance plug-in hybrid (248 hp, 310 lb-ft) are powered by variants of BMW's turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Next are two six-cylinders: The 540i (335 hp, 332 lb-ft) gets a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, and the 540d (261 hp, 457 lb-ft) has a 3.0-liter inline-six diesel. At the top of the range is the M550i with its turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 (456 hp, 480 lb-ft). BMW's all-wheel drive, called xDrive, is an option on the 530i, the 530e and the 540i. It's standard on the 540d and the M550i. An eight-speed automatic is standard across the board.
trim tested
Each vehicle typically comes in multiple versions that are fundamentally similar. The ratings in this review are based on our full test of the 2017 BMW 530i (turbo 2.0L inline-4 | 8-speed automatic | RWD).
driving
If the driving experience is truly important to you, then the 530i is a sedan to consider. With the exception of upgraded brakes, this BMW doesn't rely on sheer horsepower or road grip to sling it around corners. What you get instead is a package that feels extremely well-rounded, which is better.
comfort
The 530i is a supremely comfortable car with impressive climate control features, highly adjustable and massaging seats, and a whisper-quiet, soft-riding cabin. The only issue we had with the climate system is its capacity to keep us properly chilled.
interior
The 530i's cabin is an excellent place to spend time as long as you aren't a tall rear passenger. The controls are as easy as they can be, but the countless functions take time to learn. Climbing in and out is a breeze, and between the camera aids and windows, there's no worry about blind spots.
utility
The 530i has a fairly generous trunk with flexible cargo configurations thanks to the 40/20/40-split folding rear seat. In-cabin storage has improved over previous years, and the car seat anchors are easily accessible. The amount of backseat space is the only concern for larger car seats.
technology
BMW is a technology juggernaut and one of the more aggressive manufacturers when it comes to innovative features. Most of them are useful, while some are cool parlor tricks, but we appreciate them all. But iDrive's character recognition may be getting too smart for its own good.

[@CiprianDascalu]

I think the technology in the new 5 series is amazing, but I still like the looks of the E60 5 series better, in my opinion the design is just better in every way.

[@alfazentro9577]

Correct. Unfortunately, most bimmer fans can't see that the newer design are too ordinary for any non fan to be converted. I own a 1998 e39 528 and an e60 530i of 2008. While the e39 is more reliable and better built, the e60 is simply the most beautiful and uncompromising bmw design ever. Thats why the e60 out sold other luxury brands for 10 years.

[@abdulmuhammad8339]

I’ve had the E39 E60 F10 and now G30… for me nothing will ever beat the E39 model… but the new G30 is definitely the closest thing

[@OfficialPaulKWright]

[@fahadbinzabin8469]

Thank you for this valuable video

[@mcanaley]

As a former BMW 5 series owner. 2017 5 series x drive with the performance package and tech package. There was something wrong with that car all the time. The electrical system mainly, but also had mechanical issues at under 50,000 miles. Never had that issue with any other car. Maybe it was a lemon, who knows. A tow truck driver told me he picks up more BMWs off the road than any other car though. I found that interesting. The main reason I moved on from BMW is the technology. For what you are paying, I expect top notch technology. People who had the same year car as I did, had more tech in their car, at heavy heavy heavy discount compared to what I was paying. That's what really bothered me.

[@dascalsergiu7924]

buy the new a6 ;)

[@sports4evsbb]

Love that they say $51,000 at the end even though the video is based off the top-of-the-line 540 with all possible additions which can rack the price up near $80,000

[@q_fiddy]

Not really brand new if the G30 was released in 2017. The next "brand-new" worth refresh was in 2021, when they changed the front/rear facias and retired the halo DRL's. RIP BMW Halo's: 2000 - 2022

[@MarisSavich]

BMW THE BEST !!!

[@root9065]

3:17 whoever did that animation, did not consider it's done wrong... the rear wheels steer in the opposite direction as the front ones, in order to obtain a tighter turn radius. If the rear wheels were to turn as displayed here, it would actually widen the car's turn radius, not tighten it.

[@Leon575]

The wheels turn like that when driving fast. Opposite when driving slow.

[@MrNorotic]

Marks my words, after this generation bmw sales will start to fall. I own an 2007 e60 and the fact that bmw is making luxury it's main focus is really sad considering. If i really wanted a vehicle centered on luxury I'd get a Mercedez or maybe even a Lexus for lower maintenance cost. No real point in getting a bmw if it's just gonna be a mediocre Mercedes-Benz.

[@Unplugged704]

What a beautiful car! Yet it still gets bashed for reliability!

[@chankenneth4231]

The only thing people notice is the BMW logo, what series you drive don't matter because they all look the same all these years

[@e66ninja59]

Straight up... like different sized sausages in different packages. That's why I love the 6 series Gran Coupe. That car is very well it's VERY own design. I mean my neighbor's 2014 3 series just looks like a smaller 5, and a 5 series looks like the medium between the 3 and the 7 series. Although, I'd still drive a 5 over a 3 because it still is a larger car and I'm used to that for my preference of vehicles.

[@demolisherOfMoney]

Same goes for Mercedes and Audi

[@Mrbfgray]

Who cares what "people notice"? I select a car that impresses ME and fit my criteria. I like that the styling is evolutionary and not like a 7 yr. old boy designed it such as a Camaro. Dramatic styling ages very fast, looks stupid and is generally pointless. My old 330 still looks good and people tend to think it's much younger than it is, my 2011 M3 looks a lot like the standard 3 series even tho it's almost entirely different, it's subtle but potent the way I like it.

[@Steve-yt5zm]

I tend to agree, but you could say that about many car brands. Look at the muddy waters Mercedes are serving up - a confused design language which will make their cars look old before their time. The only thing that really gives BMW anything to shout about is how they drive, which is usually superior to their competition. As for exterior styling though - yep BMW are as boring as most others. I believe VW are starting to set the tone more and more...

[@kazmibajuri]

The 4series seems like it could be theGoldilocks of the lot. The best looks and the hatchback make it pretty compelling - not sure how it drives compared to the 5 - the 5 seems the best for the driver - sitting with that beautiful interior and perhaps the seat comfort. I am torn. Not sure which car to move up to from my current f30 which I love.
