The New BMW 5 Series is a TOTAL TECH FEST!

I take a look at the new 7th generation BMW 5 Series, and specifically a 530d; playing around with the new remote key and vast array of features present in the car.
After a look throughout during the BMW UK press launch in Spain, it's off for a drive in the local region before also having a play with the new BMW Connected app and the capabilities within.
Thanks for watching, Tim

The new BMW 5 Series is an absolute tech-fest, there is so much on offer! Let's explore and test out features like the ability to park the car from the key and the new Connected mobile app.

[@rameshwhorrie]

Shmee150 what phone are you using?

[@Shmee150]

Porsche Design Mate 9

[@stubones]

I test drove a new 520D last weekend (It's all they had available) and what an amazing car. It was on run flats though and tyre roar was almost as bad as my E91 3 series on its run flats. Other than that I'd be completely nitpicking to fault the car.

[@bigzlowered]

I had not thought about the new 5 series but a 530d Touring M Sport would be a good car for all your needs! or even an m5 Touring in a couple years ;)

[@Cloroxbleach337]

Stopping the video at 29:59 instead of 30:00 really bothers me.

[@abdelrahmanelsayed5651]

[@mohammedjiva3911]

Clorox bleach hahaha

[@ast5515]

KZbin is being weird again. The video is only 29:58 long for me.

[@linzhenxuan8719]

For me it is 29:59 not 29:58

[@linzhenxuan8719]

I

[@statesidesupercars]

Really like the looks, especially those LED headlights!

[@callumpenman5992]

statesidesupercars it's the angel eyes that do it for me

[@wqbb287]

Callum Penman same

[@lukee49]

Damn the new Rolls Royce looks great

[@AlexOliver555]

Exactly, which is why this car has to be so quiet.

[@FJF987]

Half of these parts will be in new Ghost in 2020

[@sv916gtv7]

says the one drives a dual cab hilux nolsie!

[@blanntaka]

oh this is totally comment of the day for me

[@OrangeTash]

[@xSferQx]

This key is more tech advanced than my whole car

[@naruto88323]

I always find my self watching videos about cars I can't afford 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@bradnorris7291]

naruto88323 get a better job

[@marvelous1358]

naruto88323 lol this describes 99% of KZbin car guys. We all hope we will one day.... just work towards it.

[@Levente20]

cause your a fuckin looser mate

[@Robin-sf3gk]

So you now want to watch videos about Corsas, Lupos, Ups and Prius? 😁

[@PaulReinhard]

I used to do that too and dream about owning some cars until one day I had the money to buy whatever car I want. Make it a target, dream about it and you will get it sooner than you think!

[@freddyhayes239]

Remember Pierce Brosnan as Bond?. He had similar on his 760 in Tomorrow never dies. F*ckin awesome!

[@Shmee150]

Took a while to become mainstream didn't it haha

[@jesseshea9698]

freddy hayes Hell yeah

[@TodunOlusola]

freddy hayes ye

[@fishingwithRoger1]

750i with the V12

[@thesupercarflat88]

530d has the inline 6 though, not 4zyl. as mentioned at 09:40. Keep up the good work Shmee! :)

[@albangerguri99]

The Supercar Flat is has an inline 4, look it up...

[@thesupercarflat88]

The new G30 Generation BMW 530d which is featured in this video has an updated version of BMW's 3 litre inline 6zyl. It has 4 valves (per zyl.) though ;) www.bmw.com/com/en/newvehicles/5series/sedan/2016/showroom/technical_data.html#m=530d

[@albangerguri99]

The Supercar Flat yea sorry my fault, I got it mixed up with the 530i which does have an i4

[@mansoorinthehood6912]

Does it have indicators

[@me7524]

Mansoorinthehood 69 yes but the indicator stick is removed at the dealership before collection

[@makveldz]

Mansoorinthehood 69 no, it's an extra feature, you can select it when you configure the car to buy it.

[@patwhw]

You could get the indicator stick put back back in again but it will cost you around $5000 for some reason. That's why you rarely see any blink.

[@Root6532]

lol

[@haxpet]

The thing is that when you see another brand merging without using indicators you just feel sorry for the bloke that he's lost his Beemer.

[@alanzyoutube]

This is James Bond level tech (Tomorrow Never Dies)!

[@Younghead]

Hi Shmee, nice to see the parking mode function. I really appreciate your detailed review of the new 5 series, as most people do not study what they are reviewing properly. I look forward to watching more of your reviews.

[@discoverymoi]

I've seen tons of videos of this car, but when a checked your post on Facebook about this one, I immediately came over to watch it.

[@BondTheOGYT]

This is the future, where you can just let your car park itself 😂

[@Shmee150]

I guess the future is where it drives, parks and handles everything for you!

[@BondTheOGYT]

Shmee True, and 5 series soon Tim? ;)

[@Shmee150]

Doesn't fit into my requirements at all; let's see what the M5 is like when it launches.

[@ArKritz84]

You would know, Bond, having done it 20 years ago in Tomorrow Never Dies.

[@CinemaUnited]

Shmee150 E-class already does that. It can park when your already out of the car.

[@earni01]

It's a 6 cylinder, not 4

[@user-mn5sd3sn8z]

Benjamin Gingter who cares lol its no m5

[@michaelllewellyn5826]

I bet its not a million miles away from the m5 regarding 0-60

[@user-mn5sd3sn8z]

Michael llewellyn yeah but most people would buy it for luxury who's gonna care for performance

[@michaelllewellyn5826]

With it being only a second behind the m5 (with probably 1/4 of the running costs) im guessing 99 percent of people will be interested in the performance. I certainly would. Do they not do a 2 litre for people not interested in performance?

[@remik6009]

Willy Lamb six* ;)

[@beyondinsanitybr]

Tim, I'm mostly surprised as to how easely you go from right hand side roads/cars to the opposite and has no difficulty adapting! Kudos for that, I'd be mind-boggled by all these changes.

[@brewerfan100]

Thanks for the video! I just ordered mine yesterday and I loved seeing you put the car through its paces!

[@ToroLaszlo]

dislikes from farshad (great car)

[@samuelmendoza6589]

Törő László lool

[@eriksmurans5526]

Törő László i am starting to hate him ... he is getting annoying with his hate to bmw.

[@eriksmurans5526]

John Dessire Ok. I wouldnt say he hates it but he definetly does no like it, and is showing that to the world. Farshad is really annoying you gotta agree.

[@droptheat5643]

Farshad can't even afford a BMW lol

[@johndessire399]

Youneedsomemilk Lol, he drive a e class.

[@bonobo4193]

This guy is geting closer to the first place on the creep list of so called reviewers ... If he crosses his hands while driving more often he might get on the top very soon ...

[@EdwardV20]

I loved how we could see you talking in the mirror when you were talking about the mirrors. The details like this just make a joy to watch!

[@TheCTM124]

i just wanna take a second and pause and to say shmee150 your so good at what you do keep the content rolling brother

[@krunor4604]

I've heard that BMW is inserting fake silence through speakers.

[@_milo590]

Kruno the legendary it's called active noise cancellation.

[@krunor4604]

_Husky I know, I thought sarcasm was a bit more obvious. :D I was just trying to bait in those BMW haters.

[@VVS1920]

I know right, shady is included at no extra cost..

[@milo1977able]

Drove one last weekend. A really impressive car. I struggle to think of better everyday transport.

[@deepuchow]

pretty much detailed overview. Thanks for that mate.

[@andreas.abrahamsson]

Your enthusiasm is really really contagious. I think I need to go and buy myself one... Great review!

[@fastfoodpitstops]

14:58 Shmee put it in ASMR mode!

[@t5jerry]

your definitely the british saabkyle, great review as always shmee.

[@ProjectRedhorn]

Amazing. Quality content right here, great job Tim!

[@krutarths]

that 360 view with camera control is probably the coolest feature I've seen in a while! Def. makes me want to save up for this car even just based on that!

[@w-james9277]

Alejandro and Farshad disliked this.

[@fireblade3655]

W-James Alejandro is friends with Shmee

[@w-james9277]

He hates BMW.

[@Carfreak36]

W-James No, only Farshad does

[@w-james9277]

Carfreak36 Alejandro does as well.

[@emiiel2189]

So if I'm correct you can sit on the roof and start driving in a straight line for as long as you want? :)

[@doreenadikini9943]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 bad idea to sit on the roof though there will be some idiot who will do it for some idiotic......

[@zayplayz5773]

Absolutely incredible tech. Well done BMW....you've gone right back up in my estimation!

[@marcibino6939]

Tim is the type of guy who is polite even with the navigation ladie..:D Really nice vid! Quite much liked it!

[@camerondenis4007]

I love BMW's! Don't know how anyone could hate them.

[@camerondenis4007]

My beautiful and amazing mistress Honestly

[@grantschneider926]

Cameron Denis This car for example, most people who buy it new will love it. The second owner who buys it pre owned after warranty will most likely grow to hate this car when everything goes wrong, specifically the smartphone styled key and everything it does. When that thing fails (which it will) you're fucked

[@camerondenis4007]

Grant Schneider not necessarily many BMWs are very reliable

[@Robin-sf3gk]

Grant Schneider thats my fear for those geeky cars. For example the S class, you buy a car for ~180k. But as they stop in 4 years the update support or even only bring the new looking software just for the new models (2019 for example) then the loss of value will be immersive. Same counts for this 5er, Tesla, Audi A5 etc

[@kordaxmint533]

Because people often experience problems with reliability and it's not acceptable for cars with such a big price... It's full of high tech sexy features, great stuff and it has an awesome engine, but because it's so complex there are a lot of things that can fail.

[@michaelllewellyn5826]

Don't call it the new fiver you'll offend the vegetarians

[@cawaz4573]

Michael llewellyn 😂

[@Co-km6cl]

[@rikuvuorenmaa1267]

Just got my new 540ix, learning quite a few new things here, thanks for a good review!

[@asgaming__172]

Great video. I have been enjoying the content you have been bringing for a long time.

[@matrixxd93]

At the end 90% of people who will buy car like this will either use those tech features first few day or won't have a clue about this tech in the car.

[@bradnorris7291]

Matej C except when you buy a car like this your sales rep takes you through it all

[@VVS1920]

Bmw will demonstrate the features to buyers

[@matrixxd93]

I wonder if they demonstrate how blinkers works :D

[@juris789]

Matej C they never get to that one

[@DersimLondon]

I can't forgive BMW to make pedestrian accident prevention and the autonomous breaking an extra option. What are they thinking, "we have a technology that will stop this car running a school kid over, let's not make it standard and charge extra" I can understand charging extra for bigger satnav or special keys but technology that will prevent an accident should never ever be an option!!

[@Todestuete]

That is nonsense. By that thinking, if a safety technology is available, all new cars at all price points should be forced to offer it in the base version instantly. This would obviously increase the prices of the base versions, even by a very high % of their base price for lower end cars. If a safety feature is absolutely important it can be made mandatory after a while, like seatbelts, airbags, ESC, etc. But the latest stuff will always cost extra and not be available in cheaper cars from the beginning. In 10 years, pedestrian accident prevention will probably be mandatory (and self driving cars already a reality).

[@malarktaful]

Do you not remember Captain Greencross? or even Alvin Stardust 'kids you must be out of your tiny minds' - road safety is everyone's responsibility not just car manufacturers

[@MosesKaldor]

Thanks for the video. Can't wait to have a good look at it during the Geneva motor show.

[@adilator]

very nice walkthrough. Subbed!

[@UebertreibenChannel1]

It's a 6 zylinder diesel, not 4 zylinder though. Just in case, someone was wondering :)

[@Rottensteam]

Frederik H. And it's "cylinder" not "zylinder".

[@UebertreibenChannel1]

Rottensteam ah I'm sorry. German 😅

[@VVS1920]

+Frederik H. Loool stop trolling pls

[@DAZZER435]

I love the new wave of technology becoming available on cars. The features on this are very similar to that of the Tesla

[@SimonIngram]

The remote parking is very cool. My caravan has exactly the same feature!

[@SEOBUK]

I got mine reserved in South Korea. 530d white! Looking forward to own one! thank you so much for the review.

[@aryajonathan3733]

There will be a time when parking your car yourself is rated hard in the driving school.

[@makveldz]

Arya Jonathan LMAO

[@oscardavies1591]

I feel like they could have done more with the exterior. It's brand new and still looks older than the new c class and audi a5

[@davidbest1]

Oscar Davies well well well who do we have here

[@karigrandii]

Oscar Davies BMW sucks when it comes to looks. Even hyundais and hondas look more beautiful

[@oscardavies1591]

jaja true, every new launch from BMW lets me down...

[@oscardavies1591]

David Best ayyy

[@MrFas__]

+jaja Nooooo wayy not true

[@Kardieschen]

Thanks shmee, one of the best review of the G30 ... can't wait get mine

[@geminiwaywardbound1229]

I like you, you tell it like it is no bull, that’s what us buyers need, not someone painting over the cracks and wanting to get the paperwork done the min we walk through the door lol thank you.for sharing your knowledge.👍🏻

[@bryanjschang]

wait for the new m5 and buy it!

[@thomasfisher1829]

I really hate that so many car companies are making their infotainment systems look like a tablet that's been glued to the dash as an afterthought. It looks terrible imo. I'd much rather them integrate it into the dash in a more thoughtful way.

[@Robin-sf3gk]

Thomas Fisher Mercedes does it for E and S class and it looks even more horrible. I guess they do that because you have more visibility to the street

[@ChrisWhiteTech]

I second that. On Mercedes it looks like the designers just gave up and let the engineers put whatever they wanted in there....

[@thebloxxerpilot1954]

The tablet on the dash is more ergonomical for drivers; the screen is easier to look at if its on the dash as you take your eyes off the road less.

[@Andrew4337]

Gorgeous car. Actually quite enjoyed the review and liked the guys presenting style. First impressions weren't favourable but I'm happy to be proved wrong. Will watch more.

[@bashez1]

Very nice motor👌🏽 Driving the 2011 model at the moment but will definitely upgrade to this one

[@amcluesent]

Our salesmen will kill to achieve targets and be allocated this car instead of the standard Mondeos

[@kavingautam3193]

Omg I loved the f10 but this car has my jaw hanging

[@jacek20]

love this vid. I got so excited I called my dealer to set up a test ride.

[@itiswhatisis8174]

Just found this fella, and I´m obviously a bit late looking at the views and subs. But this reviewer is perfect. Not too much of anything, not annyoing, doesnt shout doesn´t do this or that which is normal to "stick out". Just seems like a good dude that loves cars and does good reviews. Nice.

[@aziz-qp7pm]

+Shmee150 What to do you think of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta?

[@theoriginalbreadcrumb]

he has a video about it I believe.

[@AlexOliver555]

Do you mean the Giulia?

[@aziz-qp7pm]

No

[@gijsdegroot7602]

Aziz why do you ask. It's not that much of a spectacular car

[@gijsdegroot7602]

Aziz are you sure you don't mean giulia

[@jack_c_d]

All this tech and they still haven't come up with doors that won't open any further when they get close to the car next to you

[@cawaz4573]

drayt0n10 that's true

[@Sharnakh]

That could be done through magnets maybe. But both cards have to have it in almost all side panels in a big quantity so that it works. That would make the cars pretty heavy. Other option would be laser sensor with a door breaking system in the doors or something.

[@jack_c_d]

Csongibongi I was thinking the latter :). If a car can stop itself, surely a door can?

[@Sharnakh]

But what if it malfunctions and you can't open the door at all. Although for accidents you are supposed to get out through the windows anyways. I think it could be done easily with all the technology we have. It surely can't weigh more than 5 - 10 kgs.

[@jack_c_d]

Csongibongi quick release where the door falls off? Haha

[@christiankonig6499]

Shmee 150, very informative Video,good work!!

[@vladansretenovic1952]

@Shmee, the reason the car is so quiet as you have pointed many times, its as it have optional double glazing.It was also available on previous 5-series.

[@ska042]

So how's your new job as a BMW salesman? :)

[@Shmee150]

Wonderful thanks :D

[@cawaz4573]

Shmee150 LOL

[@Arinis.ltd.]

wait until these electronics fail after 5 years from

[@turbos7780]

Mohamed El-Arini hahah the e class will be much worse because of these two screens lol

[@makveldz]

Soulx CrusherX true dat

[@Zaasax]

And enjoy the dealership repair prices. Because your local friendly mechanic will not have the equipment nor knowledge to fix this heap of shit.

[@Zaasax]

Your car is 10 years old which is why they haven't failed. It's simple and easy. A car made in 2017 is mind boggingly complex and trying to be 20 different things and be a car at the same time. Every sensor talks to one another and if one fails 80% of the others go haywire.

[@kordaxmint533]

+Ether Ghost Because a lot of ppl deal with problems even on new cars... I think you're lucky.

[@MCorrigan]

5 Series are amongst the best cars on the road, which is why they are so popular. Beautiful cars to drive and powerful.

[@MrFas__]

Definitely a better looking 5 series outside and inside than the previous generation and the tech is on another level! BMW 5 series will always be one of my favourite sedans. Imagine what the next M5 will be like...

[@KayTwo25]

the thing is: you really need NONE of these extras

[@lukeparsons583]

KayTwo25 yeah, you don't need AC, power steering, or power windows either. But they make your life a little easier and more comfortable, huh?

[@eriksmurans5526]

KayTwo25 you dont need running shoes to run, but it helps.

[@AlazzM1]

KayTwo25 you are boring

[@KayTwo25]

Luke Parsons might be right but i talked about "needing" and i mostly meant the autonom driving features

[@JMNTN]

You don't need a car either you can use a bicycle

[@worldspottingexhibit]

Dated interior

[@leonchn7500]

No, driver focused, much better quality then the E Class, and lacks the squeakiness of the E Class buttons. Looks can be deceiving.

[@worldspottingexhibit]

[@leonchn7500]

Hi I am new to your channel and I have to say that your content is top stuff. Good content with a well worth watching video

[@kopkraft]

Great review! Car ordered, cant wait!

[@TAEbot]

Cool Tech but BMW needs to figure out how to stop their drivers from becoming douchebags... Now solve that shit!

[@Luniii737]

lol that stereotype tho.

[@trackerman7841]

I'd rather drive a car than a computer

[@johnjohnempire]

TrackerMan 78 your perspective will change when you start living in money. Money is a spirit, It pushes its owners to do the unthinkable.

[@kordaxmint533]

You can but an empty 530i without all these extra features. It will cost much less and you'll get a great comfortable car. I know a lot of ppl who buy 520d because they don't need all this stuff.

[@jones18269]

More videos like this would be great.

[@markcoia2527]

Great video - nice really nice and in-depth.

[@TRUE_GR1T]

Remember when BMW made drivers cars? I Remember

[@The099az]

I drive an e46 bmw and its a hell of a drivers car to me....

[@TRUE_GR1T]

The099az e46 was 1998 to 2006. This is a 2017. Alot has changed in 10+ years. I bet your car doesn't park and drive itself and have all sorts of electronic shit like the ability to view a 3d rendering from above. (stuff that a driver's car doesn't need)

[@The099az]

I love my car and all old Bimmers, they just look better and are overall a better BMW. I would never buy a brand new BMW because the depreciation costs are insane! Mercedes are better overall cars. and i prefer a W213 over the G30 any day...

[@rmr5184]

Impressive tech but the car really does not look very great....

[@jrgenfriborg3508]

First vid from you I followed to the end. Thank you.

get a BMW M6, you need a SUV

[@rafaykhan3415]

[@adamkhalfi6930]

Soph Owen nope

[@SophOwen]

adam khalfi yep

[@WolfiePlay]

oh yea lol

[@MohamedOsama-zf6vw]

that key is stupid so stupid and useless its big laggy need to charge wth why i charge a key ! all that futures can be on a phone app ! i see a gimmicks also and i see E class is better to me

[@UKMike2009]

BMW have also had the phone app for several years if you must control things using your phone. The key (and the phone) charge in the wireless charging tray that is standard on all new 5 series. By all means choose the E class if you prefer - it is a decent car.

[@emillime9]

The only problem is that the wireless charging for now only goes for android phones. I mean, come on bmw, most people use IOS!! :P

[@UKMike2009]

Oh come on - that is Apple's problem, not the car manufacturers. There are plenty of USB sockets in modern cars for the old iPhone technology. Get a grip!

[@cawaz4573]

Mohamed Osama I wonder how much the key costs itself😂

[@Pacer357]

Actually almost 80% of smart phones sold are Android. Samsung sell almost twice as many phones as Apple.

[@kiftikhar]

Amazing. Saw one in the flesh and it looked good. Love the Mate 9 Porsche Design phone Tim. Good choice.

Incredible car and brilliant review...but where are the drifts Tim?! Kidding, good job!

[@DAZZER435]

The 360 camera view is ridiculously amazing

[@otsolampinen5290]

but why is it so boring... i mean volvo v90/s90 has so much better looking exterior and interior (bmw i guess it is time to update your interior)

[@Raven16691]

bmw wants to appeal as many people as possible, just like VW thats why they may look kinda boring and they change very little throughout the generations. volvo v90 on the other hand is one of the ugliest cars ever made in my opinion and easily the ugliest car of 2016. its very polarizing just like for example citroen. i know some people who love it but i also know some who would not even take if for free.

[@chbrules]

I had a 2014 550i. What a wonderful car. This new gen looks to be a leap above. Very tempting to get another and do Euro delivery again ;)

[@nigelcnash]

Helpful and sensible comments make an interesting review. Thank you.

[@klackon1]

Cracking review, thanks a lot.

[@randomharvz3718]

Great video, thurelly enjoyed it.

[@b0ejens0n25]

new subscriber...love your videos...maybe touch on boot space and rear leg room for saloons/estates? keep up the good work!!

[@byAquov]

Absolutely in love with all this technology the new 7th gen 5 series BMW offers. I'm just wondering how much of it is standard equipment?

[@Zed_Zone]

Very good review Shmee of the new 5er!

[@TigerG2]

The excitement in your voice is awesome, made me laugh!

[@m18gjw]

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but aren't the "radio button numbers" actually programable 'shortcuts' that you can assign functions too?

[@MrHappyjolly]

nice video, I know many of those features are options on the car, your obviously driving a press demo car, the optional extras are still very expensive. Interesting to see where they are going with the technology, I love those seats, would really like the massage function, again though these are comfort seats which are an optional extra.

[@MegaGecas]

nice review on this car. Much better that these guys do with prepared text and moves.
