When the official images from BMW came out, i was heartbroken because i felt like it didnt look like a 5 Series. But now, I AM DANGEROUSLY IN LOVE with it.😂

[@BeamerView]

Glad you like it! We need more like you =)

I have watched thousands of reviews on cars. This is by far the most thorough and helpful. I will be purchasing my 2025 M60 I was on the fence before this video but with all the features that you just highlighted, it confirms that it’s worth the $96,000 price tag

[@BeamerView]

Glad it helped you!!

[@Minotaur_10]

thank you so much for this amazing explanatory video my friend

[@BeamerView]

Cheers! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@audahazeem3137]

Great demonstration. Can you change the font size on the displays such as the time?

[@BeamerView]

You cannot unfortunately!

[@stuartlevitt9476]

Super helpful. thank you! I am getting my car delivered in several days. No one will be assisting me in setting it up. Much of what I need is here but I'm wondering if you have a video specifically for suggested first setups? Also, how does the operating system get updated with 9.0 when it comes out?

[@BeamerView]

Glad it was helpful! This video should give the gist of the setups - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z33OepdpgrSoY7c There are other videos on the channel that go through the app etc. I don't think the vehicle with 8.5 will be getting idrive 9. iDrive 9 is only for the new X1s and the X2s at the moment, and it's basically the same thing as idrive 8.5 anyway.

[@sunshadow9704]

what size of the rims did you pick on your custom build?

[@KingCrisNoir]

Is there any benefits to the M60 grille vs the regular i5 grille? I like the interior and speed of the M60 but definitely would swap the grille for the non sport version.

[@BeamerView]

No real benefits I would say.

[@KingCrisNoir]

@@BeamerView Perfect!

[@omerjaved6518]

great video, learned some new things so thanks, I do have one last thing remaining to crack which is ‘Auto Start/Stop’ is there any away to disable it or control it, other than switching to sport mode?

[@BeamerView]

Thanks for watching. Unfortunately, not many ways to get around that. Some gas powered vehicles have S transmission mode which can also defeat it but that's going to be it.

[@MrThomas0304]

surprised you didn't explain how to open the doors and how cool that is

[@BeamerView]

Correct me if I'm wrong but only the 7 series has the automatic door option.

[@jeromecampbell1008]

I just got a 2024 4 series which came with Idrive 8... will there be an update for my car to get 8.5 or 9, or am I stuck with the stock 8?

[@Gish6a]

Same i have a 2023 330e will it get idrive 8.5???

[@BeamerView]

4 Series will not be getting the update to 8.5 unfortunately. Only the new X1 and X2 will have idrive 9 at the moment.

[@jeromecampbell1008]

​@BeamerView that's crazy, it's nothing for them to send an update , it's software, is it not?

Too good explanation 👌🏻👌🏻

[@BeamerView]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@MrMoose0987]

I foolishly stepped away from the iX I had for the past year to try to save money, and got a Genesis GV60. And when I drive that more than 30 minutes (guess how long my test drive was), it kills my back and legs. I talked to the BMW dealership, and they had a discounted iX. So I went in to check it out and it was what I remembered from before I ditched my last one so I was ready to take it, but then saw they had a demo unit i5 available. So I asked "Hey while I'm here, can I see how I fit in this (I'm a wide guy working on losing weight) and see how it drives? They were like "Sure!" It drove amazingly. I think it looked amazing. So I asked them if I could take the demo model home the next day and they, again, said sure. And, well, the rest was history. I actually liked the design from when I first saw it, but figured I wouldn't be able to fit comfortably in it but was surprised when I did. And now I'm bringing home a Brooklyn Grey i5 M60 tomorrow afternoon. Pretty excited!

[@BeamerView]

Congrats on both of them. Glad the comfort was much better compared to the Genesis. Not worth losing your back over. It's true what they say, once you go BMW, you don't go back =)

[@MrMoose0987]

@@BeamerView Yeah, I'm learning that one now, haha.

[@sunshadow9704]

Please describe the ride quality on these 21 wheels. Would you recommend to go with 19th (in my opinion 19 wheels do not look right on this G60) or 21 with possible sacrificing on ride quality?

[@BeamerView]

Ride quality felt fine to me, knowing that it's a m60 version, I would also expect it to be more on the tigher sporty side of things, but it wasn't anything unbearable. I would opt in for the 21s but I would also make sure you have a wheel and tire protection package since anything 19 inch and above are prone to bent rims from pot holes.

[@sunshadow9704]

@@BeamerView thank you for the prompt reply

[@albyg4384]

I drive a 520d X-D 190hp G30 with 245/35 20 (front) and 275/30 20 (rear), both RunFlat. The better driving performances do not compensate the extra noise, stiffness and limited steering radius. On the G60 I’d would either recommend the 245/40 20 (front) and 275/35 20 (rear) combo or the 245/45 19 (front) and 275/40 19 (rear).

[@12polizei24wegvonhier]

Good review. BMW will hire you.

[@BeamerView]

That would be cool!

[@YTgrinderr]

Hi, could you guide me on how to adjust the reversing camera? It tilts downwards excessively, and I'm unable to set it to a preferred angle that stays fixed when the car is put in reverse. Thanks

[@BeamerView]

There isn't much adjustment you can do with it unfortunately. One of the only ways i've seen this be able to adjust is when your in the menu that shows the birds eye view of the car "parking assistance button" You should see 3 gray cameras on the birds eye view side, if you select the camera with an A on it, it'll auto adjust your cameras depending on which way your wheel is turning etc. Other than that I would check in settings but I do not believe there is another way.

[@YTgrinderr]

Thank you for responding and providing the information. It seems a bit unusual because in other cars, you can adjust the reverse camera.

[@adama8570]

Can the tivoli coloured strips be turned off? Passenger seat memory position I and II in place? How efficient is the i5 preheat mode?

[@BeamerView]

The ambient lighting can be turned off, there is a on/off switch in the menu. Yes both the 1 and 2 positions are located on the door which you can set. Personally haven't tried the pre-heat mode for the i5, but for all the other BMWs it's never been an issue so I'm sure it's about what you would expect. It does do a more efficient job when the vehicle is plugged in.

Bro your videos are very informative, I watched some. However, can you check in the settings for the presence of the Russian language in ID 8.5? I know that ID 8 has it, but I'm interested in ID 8.5. Thanks in advance)

[@BeamerView]

I read some where that it should, iDrive 8 is very similar to 8.5 so I would imagine it should.

[@charleskinsley2590]

What’s the deal with the flat bottom steering wheel? Not Evan the 3 series m3 gets a flat bottom steering wheel??!

[@BeamerView]

Not exactly, sure, it does make it a little bit difficult to steer with it, especially if you're the type to drive with one hand. It also does give you more leg space. I'd prefer it to be just a regular wheel though.

[@ThePrinceOfAllSaiyans]

Does the ICE model also have the same ambient lighting Bar?..I heard it’s different with just streaks running across the dash

Yeah the ice bar is much worse for some reason. But the hybrid version get the cool bar (530e, 550e) so there is that

[@adama8570]

0 to 60mph in 3.6 sec. but no crash safety over 40mph? Why no rear frontal airbags?

[@BeamerView]

I'm sure it has some sort of sufficient safety, the newer these vehicles get the more safe they are built along the way.

[@adama8570]

@@BeamerView No tangible information as to how safety is improved at all. So much focus on design and performance whereas the more erudite issues seem evanescent! Option 302 from Mercedes offers rear frontal airbags which would save thousand of lives, not least children! I´m no supporter of Mercedes but rear safety has not improved since the 1960s! Time for better education and for people to grow up!
