70k with no adaptive cruise control...ouch 😬

[@NyzedOfficial]

Much better than previous generation

[@hourbee5535]

The spare tire is exposed like that in the trunk? I have never seen a setup like that before. What is happening at BMW

[@farbor1734]

Idk, may be there has to be some kinda cover? If not, it's a blame for BMW

[@carminesica1768]

Stai facendo sul serio, secondo te è possibile che quell’auto venga venduta senza la base bagagliaio?

[@marihymes5890]

BMW gave them a spare tire becuase they had a flat and js incase it happened again they would have a spare to put on but usually bmws don’t come with spare tires becuase they have run flats

[@KennethKeuffel]

A cover needs to be in the trunk

[@AgentSmith911]

$90K with a few options added, like adaptive cruise lol

[@ArExsTee]

it sounds like the new 2024 Nissan Sentra SR tbh

[@reddevil6585]

$70,000 for 4 cylinder !!!

[@ITALYRS]

insane

[@funnystupid5645]

255 hp without plug-in hybrid transmission. Maybe this car can fly for this money

[@General_M]

If cylinder count and displacement is all that matters for a cars price tag, then every EV should be free I guess.

[@_walid_1798]

That's Such an American thing to say

[@coning1824]

@@_walid_1798 But it’s too expensive for slow car. 10th Accord 2.0t was only $30,000 and can easily beat this 5 series

[@charliethesupebeagle]

No cover over the spare tire?

[@hourbee5535]

$70k and they just threw the spare tire in the trunk like an afterthought lol

[@MSwans-jq3nn]

I'd stick with the standard 19 inch wheels to help reduce the noticeable road noise on the highway.

[@Pamlicojdjdj1487]

When the G30 BMW 5-Series came out in 2017, a 4 cyl 530i fully loaded topped at $72K (2017 Dollars) or $92,100 here in 2024 adjusted for inflation.

[@SuperMrBentley]

germans forgot how to fit a spare tire in the trunk and learned a lot about cost cutting

[@mradchemseddine9965]

Yeah. Decade of run flat tires

[@ronaldmcdonald9322]

The more I look at this car, the more it looks like a Chinese electric car.

[@brendan7632]

Seems like that’s BMWs goal these days…

[@ping3067]

it is for the chinese market tho, just like the 7 series.

[@Pamlicojdjdj1487]

I would argue Chinese BYD EVs look much better inside and out than this mediocre BMW attempt

[@petersonxtateG]

I'm sure it's fun to drive, but the exterior of this new version is so ass it makes me wants the older version more.

[@igeekone]

$70k for pretty much a base 5 Series is crazy.

[@box4859]

Dashboards are looking more and more like flat screen TV's.

[@Car_conversati0nz]

Absolutely no way am I paying that much for a 4 cylinder

[@talhasharfuddin5744]

I saw BMW drivers don’t give indegaters

[@MMT9301]

During 1990s, BMW 530i E34 or E39 means 6 cylinders inline singing beautifully. But today… 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

[@Vadi999]

PS?

[@TJZTechShow]

That’s why there’s a 540. I get it, the numbers are changed now

[@lighthousefreepeople2629]

BMW 520i (1992) 150PS 6 Cylinder

[@Pamlicojdjdj1487]

That was 30 years ago….

[@Pamlicojdjdj1487]

The cost cutting in this generation is SAD. Cheaper plastics, they removed the illuminated door sills my G30 530i had standard, removed pockets from the backs of the front seats, cheaply exposed spare tire. To get adaptive cruise control, rear seat AC controls, heated/cooled seats you have to spend thousands on packages. Only suckers buy these things.

[@user-vk5ld5uf8l]

Yas! Also, not first

[@mercedesw211classic]

Ugly and boring. Give me an E39...

[@lrlwbw9]

It's exactly like when Apple introduces new camera design and no charger included in the iPhone's box, the media and android fans make fun of Apple the next months, until they get shocked by Samsung copying Apple and doing the same thing or they won't be able to stay in business. Bmw fanbois have been making fun of 4cyl mercedes engines and now Bmw is putting a 4 cyl 200hp engine in the sporty 530i 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@buriburimaccho]

ぶりぶりまっちょ💪💩

[@coning1824]

Japan car brands >>>>>>>> Overpriced scam German Brands

[@YrysSariev]

Лишняя трата денег 😢

[@ronaldmcdonald9322]

The mediocre driving machine.

[@wrinkleneckbass]

BMWs have become expensive disposable toys. Nobody buys them anymore, they lease them and get a new one after 3 years. The next sucker who buys it will think he's getting a bargain used BMW then spend a fortune maintaining it. Smart people drive past the BMW dealer and get an Acura TLX.

[@Keitumetsemulaudzi]

Lol okay good for u

[@DannielVon]

Cry

[@Pamlicojdjdj1487]

Acura was only good in the 80s and 90s. My last one was a 1997 Acura 2.5TL. After 1999-2000 they became a misguided, also ran so called “Luxury” brand. Their biggest mistake their made was to discontinue the Legend in 1995. 29 years later, they could never recover from that error.
