[@hellkitty1014]

Thank GOD the 5-Series planners said NO to the 4/7 Series grille. The 5 has always had a rhythm all its own at BMW. These updates don't standout, which is always a 5er hallmark. I'm glad they worked on a few shoetcomings and yes, this looks more desirable than the oviod E-Class, although the Es interior is serious business, but BMW is catching up. Overall, I like that BMW held restraint on the 5, hoping it will become ageless like a E39.

[@Brian-xu9di]

Just ordered a 2021 540 i xdrive, will pick it up in about 10 weeks. Went with the Bluestone Metallic, Ivory White Nappa leather seats, premium package, heated steering, Sensatec dashboard, and spare tire. Wife didn’t like the blackness of the M-sport package, so we went with the standard sport package. List was $70,335, I paid $63,000 even - including all fees. So about 10% off. I think I got a decent deal - at least the best I could finagle out of the 3 dealers I was negotiating with. No matter what you pay, you always feel ripped off, but whatever - the wife is happy, and couple thousand either way isn’t going to kill me. Can’t wait to pick it up. We tried the M340i, but wife hated the way it drove - not luxurious enough for her, as she is used to her Lexus.

[@HamzaKhan-uc5zo]

haah that kind of deal would be a dream in todays market

[@kayz9730]

how do you feel about the sound isolation of the cabin comparing with the e-class?

[@thirst4petrol537]

The sound isolation is actually great, almost on par with that of the e class. id say the e has a bit more isolation but really not that much difference anymore. i cant say about the brandnew e class tho as i havent reviewed it yet. iv reveiwed this 5 series tho so if u want ur welcome to check it out on my channel :)

[@xNamsu]

I have a 2020 540i M Sport and I’m curious why they would downgrade the seats to SensaTec as standard instead of Dakota Leather like in 2020. You would think the 5 series would have standard leather seats.

[@MikeL-FL]

They did a ton of decontenting for 21 in the US. No more soft close doors, no more Laserlights, no auto park, no display key, no nightvision. Not even available, which all were last year. And the prices went up. Last years car would have cost me $90k as equipped the way mine is (M550 loaded). This years cost me $94k.

[@curiously1510]

Nice job...like the refresh, and love this color. I had a 2001 530i, and I think it was smaller than the current 3 series. The 5 series has definitely skewed more luxury than sporty as it has matured, likely to appeal to aging baby boomers who have the deep pockets to afford this price range. Would love to see the plug in hybrid version.

[@CarConfections]

Yeah it has grown a lot larger over the years
