[@loukasantoniou8054]

i just cant appreciate enough how well made and how beautiful this generation of bmws is. The design perfectly bridges the gap between a sporty and serious face, with a classy appearence. The interior is solid too. The design is uniqly bmw and has everything you need, nothing you dont.

[@B00h44]

I like the g30 LCI more, sadly most of those models don't have much tuning in them due to locked ECU's

[@spookylopez9682]

Perfectly said

[@matheus991.2]

I think this is the most beautiful sedan ever made. The smooth, sensual lines, the "serious aspect" headlights, the sober tail lights, the incredible wheels. There's no explanation, in design-wise, for BMW to go from this to the actual 5 Series look.

[@a_w831]

5er G30 is definetely an icon of BMW design, in my opinion LCI models are better a notch. Never ending discussion with my dad who owns a pre-LCI model :)

[@keenanrossetti5276]

This is the best 2017+ BMW you can buy before entering the actual M cars. Comfort, tech, performance and B58 for mods. Perfect daily driver!

[@PossessedLTU]

Yup, I can confirm same, got stage2+ and use as daily, brilliant stuff

[@pikoulas]

@@champagnepapi7484 true sorry , 🙏🏻

[@tubejorrit]

Not really, an F11 LCI is much better, integrated I-drive screen (not a stuck on tablet) and the 6 cilinder engines could also be had with just RWD. In the g30 its always x-drive on 6 cilinder engines. An F11 , N55 with adaptive drive an rear wheel steering is just perfection.

[@thedriver08]

That's a proper 5 series. The new G60 is no match for that 540i. The whole G30 platform is peak modern 5 series in my opinion.

[@cyberpope2137]

Peak 5 series. Best drivetrains, none of this over-digitalised crap and all of the important driving assist tech. Beautiful car

[@lucwijngaard8413]

The best 5 series, this tune is nice and clean but still shows great performance!

[@naurnah98]

Such a quiet ride at 300 kph. The 5 Series is sick!

[@josefinkjellsson7051]

MHD have a E30 map for standard fuel pump and a E40 map for the TU pump, if you want to be impressed try one of those. Low 8’s 100-200 is guaranteed.

[@ljubomirdjurovic4320]

This tune is simply perfect

[@bulletproof6858]

More videos of this car as it progresses please! HPFP, exhaust… next suggestions😊 thanks for your work Max!

[@necmiozguven7092]

G30 will replace the e39 as the best 5 series ever

[@KRAEMERP2010]

E34 is still the best looking, in my opinion.

[@necmiozguven7092]

@@KRAEMERP2010 I own an e34 at 140K kms on the odometer. Beautiful car but the e39 gen was a huge leap in comfort and accessories. Cars from 1996 to 2001 were BMW's best. e46 3 series, e38 7 series, and e39 5 series were considered the best cars in design, reliability, and comfort. The Peak BMW era was gone after the Alusil blocks made their debut in engine blocks and first gen iDrive was introduced. After 20 years, they perfected their recipes with b58 and b48 engines and iDrive 7.0. G30 with a b58 engine is the perfect modern car that will shine for at least 10-15 years.

[@maarten8959]

Without upgrading the HPFP I dont believe the 470bhp without seeing a dyno.

[@R19Robbin]

B58 powerrrrr 🚀🚀

[@ichich3717]

Tuned Stage 2 and All SeasonTyres! Without Words!

[@jak0661]

this is the best gen

[@ErvinMihelic]

I am in love with this car the way it pushes even after 100 kmh, which is awesome. Engine has a big potential to tune, and gearbox is really, really good for me best 5 series.

[@D1man1525]

Great video!!

[@geraldmaier5816]

Its like a nice M5 light 👍

[@phoebedavids5072]

[@jancadil2378]

I used to have MHD stage 2 on my E32 335i and it was brutal. Completely different car compared to stock for pocket change money :) recommended 100%. GREETINGS FROM CZECH REPUBLIC! :)

[@bsodgamer1234_unverified]

first. i never clicked on a video faster.

[@JJ-vy2rh]

Should watch the video first...

[@alexandrubaginean7369]

Its nice that sometimes you guys test these "affordable" cars rather than the ultimate edition, m5 in this case.

[@libelulamulticolor]

Nice channel and awesome car. Cheers :D

[@Stefano_Sanders]

*Beast modus ON*

[@MiKaSlo]

You should add the OEM BMW HPFP from the B58TU(or Dorch stage 1). The G30 doesn't have it in the M0 version of the B58. Then you are on Stage 2+ .

[@djabs]

First to watched the video from start to finish 😊

[@alexanderdt5992]

I got an mhd map for my 140i manual (downpipe but only stage 1 to save the clutch).Even tough it is an amazing product which gives you a ton of options, I do feel like the map is very heavy on the torque in the lower rev range. You lose the smooth power delivery of the standard car IMO. On the 140 atleast, the driveability is really not great. Maybe on the 5 series, which is a heavier car with a longer wheelbase, you have better driveability. Would be interesting to make a comparison of how the different b58 powered platforms react to the mhd maps.

[@BasRikken]

stage 1 is already a beast with DP

[@CRDYMN]

same for my m240i, power delivery in normal city driving is really weird(as you described) but I don't care at all tbh because I don't daily mine, and normal highway cruising is pretty much unaffected drivability is still better than most cars

[@itzgodlikexsexe6067]

Do you also drive a manual 240i?​@@CRDYMN

[@andy545i]

Nice 👍 just the down pipe or also mid pipe?

[@hasse7487]

Schön!👍👍

[@michal.laskowski.]

Perfect daily

[@ashleygainard4978]

440i PP, 540i or 650i are the options I’ve been looking at. Driven them all, I just find myself coming back to the 540. The snuggle feeling of the 650 is great, lots of power. Open up the N63TU2 on the A road and the V8 roars. Would benefit from a few mods to truly hear the best from its power station. Little firm imo for a luxury line. The 440i again quite firm, very sporty appeal. Nice classic 6 note from the B58. Makes for Good Daily driver. Now The 540i just feels to me more refined, more aggressive especially in the Black on black which I’ve drove. Has to be holding the best stance of the 5 range to date…well apart from e39 which is a different ball game. With the 540i Noticed quite a few Turn of heads while doing a town lap. Throughly is a enjoyable car to drive. Looks, power, performance it’s all there for me. Like the 440i Hiding that B58 under the hood and as the video suggests lots of scope for performance play. That B58 has to be another of BMWs best engines to date.

[@BLX187]

Never see and g30s with that radar at the frint* rare option here

[@CarlosSajiun]

These cars are in the range of 20,000 dollars here in the US i want one so bad...

That is so Cheap here in Eu double that. Buy one pronto

[@B0dyBoss]

in europe goes up to 50k if well maintained, fully loaded and under 80k miles. managed to get mine at 38k with 7 owners but its fully loaded 540ix and less than 80k miles. I say its worth every penny

[@MAG-Crew]

first time i am really happy and proud to have the predecessor model! the g60 is no worth a thought for me, such a sad figure … thank you bmw for saving me the money 😂

[@FC_Partizan]

I don't think it's clever driving on a rainy day and on such a wet surface. But surely it's a huge and stable limo. You're a professional and you know better if it's safe or not. Cheers

[@mariusburcea2266]

@AutoTopNL how would you compare this engine, in the presented configuration - MHD st2, with the McChip m550d you also presented? Both from an all out power point of view, but also from a regular driving point of view?

[@era.v]

The 5 siries the best middle sadan for the money go bmw

[@ericmasson7462]

Excellent! Was wondering if an intercooler upgrade were in the plan? With the stage 2 map, the car will get in heat soak mode rather quickly, especially in summer. Did both in my ‘13 E70, and well worth it and the B58 platform

[@DS-li1lc]

Beim b58 hat man mit ladeluft keinerlei Probleme bis 550 ps

[@lambokiller99]

You don’t have problems with B58 intercooler until 700hp

[@itzgodlikexsexe6067]

Wonder what this mod does for fuel consumption?

[@GTS18]

Code the alpina instrument cluster and call it a day!

[@DennisDinges]

So I think this generation of BMW could be hard to find in the used car market or the prices could jump up. Good luck finding one with a good price

[@janiikavalko4046]

only realwheel drive and stock turbo? 3.6 seconds is impressive

[@rampantking777]

Nice car, but after watching this video i am staying with my old stage 2 e60 diesel😁

[@harisjaved1379]

Hi guys, I am really interested in the tune, but how do I find out if my ecu is unlocked? Is there an easy way to find that info? Thanks

[@yohayoba]

interesting how much kilometers b58 and gearbox can take with this stage? would be great if at least 50k km

[@diangelo6686]

I think you could average about 50k to 75kmiles atleast like this if the trans is healthy and taken care of properly.

[@itzgodlikexsexe6067]

Would be pretty expesive to replace... 50k is not allot 😅

[@mikejnaughton1226]

Is the xHP tune set to standard stage 3 settings to get 3.6s 0-60?

[@mariorivas9673]

Doesnt get close to 470 without a tu pump on ots 93oct map. Im have the setup i said, downpipe tu pump, 93 oct stage 2 hpfp and i guess its kinda like 460-465hp. A simple stage 2 93 oct gets like 440-445hp

Why did BMW decide to drop the super ugly series 5 generation instead of trying improve the design of this generation from the video?

[@PaulGPixelBike]

BMSs are the most boring "performance" "premium" cars. When there are compilation videos like "Cars leaving nurburgring (no BMWs)", than that says something. People are sick of BMWs.
