I'm a father of 2 kids, both under 4. And this channel is priceless!!! As a car guy, it is universal, even here in the u.s.

[@dadcars]

Thanks Chris! We just need more people to find it! 😅

[@chrisw554]

@Dadcars I'll spread the word, to help. Just keep them going!

[@dadcars]

@@chrisw554 thanks Chris I really appreciate that 🙌

[@snoopwurlebarse]

Much respect to you for doing a video like this. Car reviewers forget about the main thing fathers go through ( getting a car for tha family and us 😊)

[@dadcars]

Thanks man! I’ve done loads now 😅 this one was awesome!

[@JordanNichollsYouTube]

I’ve just bought a 2017 540i x drive as my new (soon to be) dad car and I cannot tell you how much I love it. Perfect dad car if you ever wanted to drive something a bit less powerful than this 😂😂

[@dadcars]

Sounds awesome Jordan, I bet it still has some pace!

[@pharmacells]

I have a 530d M Sport Touring and I agree that quick estate BMWs are the perfect Dad cars.

[@benpenagonzales6014]

Used to have a 520d M sport plus. Fast? No. Brilliant at everything? Yes.

[@dadcars]

[@greerm5]

This is a very well-done video! With so many M5 videos on KZbin you managed to present it in an original way that was very entertaining and informative.

[@dadcars]

Awesome I’m so glad you found it useful! I’m making the car reviews I wish existed as a father of 4 😊 hopefully they will find a bigger audience in time 🙌

[@NH00531]

After much debate I came to the conclusion that a 5 series was the obvious choice for a Dad with 3 kids. However, I needed the touring for lugging DIY stuff about and doing circa 18K a year, reasonable fuel consumption was required, so went for the 530d. It’s got some ‘shove’ when you need it so I’m not too jealous (but maybe a little!) 10 years and 3 of them later I’m in no hurry to waiver, I’ll save the M5 for when I’ve finished the house! 👍

[@stef1833]

M550d?

[@NH00531]

@@stef1833 I don’t think BMW sell the 550d in the UK.

Love your youtube channel mate, really great videos for people who want a sporty ride but also think about the practicality for family use. I am currently 21 years old and own a E36 Compact with 140hp which I plan to keep on as much as humanly possible due to the fact it's a really great daily driver, can fit 4 adults really comfortably, and even 5 in a pinch, while being a sporty driver focused car. My future wife will have no reason to say we need a more practical car for us and the children 😅 I hope I will grow up to be a cool dad like you some day! Keep up the great work ❤

[@dadcars]

Ah thanks man this is a lovely comment to read 😊

[@josephjoestar995]

I’m buying one next month as soon as my next pay comes in I will have my ideal deposit to put down! I’m expecting a girl in November so I sold my Z4 G29, but with this it ticks EVERY box a car can have, people don’t realise this is the ULTIMATE car. Fast, sporty, loud V8, great exterior, interior, practical, boot space, iconic M5 heritage and a great brand with great servicing - it’s definitely stretching my budget slightly but next year I won’t regret it! So looking forward to it. Thanks for getting your little girl in the review, it’s really help settle my doubts as I can imagine my little girl in there one day!

[@dadcars]

Awesome! What a cool DadCar you will have! I’m glad it was useful, this is my hope with the channel 😊

[@rhitrix]

I have been looking for this video for MONTHS! Thank you so much!

[@dadcars]

Fantastic!!! Sporting Bears! 🙌

[@Birmingham_racing]

Dream car for most of us but me personally want an estate so rs6 or e63 estate for me

[@dadcars]

Mad I’ve yet to do an estate isn’t it! 😅

[@FRFRANKIE]

Hi Ben & girls. Hope your all doing good. That was one cool video. One very cool BMW. I love the color of the exterior.

[@dadcars]

Yeah it’s a special colour isn’t it! Really pops in the sunlight

[@dylanlastname-tw7oq]

Lovely spec on that. Also a little less overstyled compared with the current M3/4. I love saloons, would always pick one over an SUV personally. Also, no, as a modern BMW M car owner, I never get a wave or anything when one passes.

[@dadcars]

Yeah that was my guess… it’s a small thing but I do really love the waves in the Aston 🥲

[@LukasCarek]

Cool video. Personally I am not big fan of emotions comming only as a result of brutal acceleration. It forces you as an owner of a sleeper saloon to show how powerful beast you drive and there is often big point of aggression comming out as a result. Btw Alfisti greet another Alfisti, so I understand what you are talking about when you drive an Aston. I have not noticed any other brands (except few UK model ones like LR Discovery and Alfa) doing so

[@cerit9545]

Love the production on this video Ben. Lovely car too

[@dadcars]

Thank you, I’m getting there but still a lot more I can do… in time 😎

[@rcauthen324]

To answer your question about BMW under estimating their car's horsepower and performance, BMW does this to make sure their vehicles meet their performance claims (no lawsuits).

[@troyjeup2861]

M5 is the best family car you could buy. I have that Silverstone interior in my wife’s f90 so that isn’t the best for kids in the back, however the kids love the car. The kids seats don’t fit too well in my m5cs however due to the buckets. I have an m8 grancoupe also, that actually has more rear seat space than the f90.

[@dadcars]

That’s really interesting, I do hope in time to feature a M8… the styling is my kind of car 😎

[@JohnBarnes-lw7di]

I've had a nissan GTR, f90 M5 and both my young sons found them pretty boring to ride in. I recently bought a new civic type r and they love it way more than the other two. They find it so so much more fun to ride in around country roads. And I also find it is by far the best drivers car I've ever owned. It's also a lot more practical than both the GTR and M5 and has way better seats.

[@dadcars]

I will get a type R on the channel… I’ve not featured many hot hatches yet!

[@autbond]

My kids love my Golf R much more than the TRX , honestly I do too

[@SilverScarletSpider]

the BMW M5 truly is something special. Way better value for the money compared to the Nissan GTR Nismo. Have you featured the M3 Touring (hatchback/wagon/estate) yet?

[@dadcars]

No I’ve done a M3 comp, I’ve yet to do any estates! Will be though 😎

[@Bluebottle_GB]

Great work as ever Ben. If you ever fancy swapping the DadB9 for an F Type R for a day, let me know... On the power stats, I think the issue is that the numbers they quote should be achievable everywhere - so with poorer fuel, hotter air on a bad surface etc. Whereas on a track with 98 RON and nice cold oxygen-rich air it'll do a bit better.

[@dadcars]

Can you switch the passenger side airbag off in your F type? That’s interested thanks for sharing that 👍

[@Bluebottle_GB]

@@dadcars Indeed you can - through the on board computer on the steering wheel controls.

[@dadcars]

@@Bluebottle_GB drop me a dm on Instagram 😊

[@carlrea]

I cannot understand why BMW didn't produce a M5 Competition Touring from the get go and thus lose sales to Audi where people have bought an RS6 Avant. Only now are BMW looking to introduce a Touring version. I think they missed a trick because it's a fabulous car.

[@danielson1989]

Hahaha yes, I always give the nod and wave to other G30 BMW drivers 😊

[@deaks25]

Like the M3, the M5 is the "obvious" choice, but as you show here; it's the obvious choice for a good reason... I'm fortunate to have a BMW that also has the rarest optional extra of working indicators fitted... I'm not sure if '08 is modern enough to count, but I do give thumbs up to other cool cars in my 650i, recently gave a thumbs up to a guy in a 70's Mustang, which he returned.

[@dadcars]

Nice! Jayemm recently did a brilliant video on a 650i, I need to get one on 😎

[@f-carguy]

Hi Ben & girls👋 Another great video, you're absolutely on a roll! Epic Dad car this is, not the obvious SUV, subtle (by BMW's standard anyway!) plenty of room, plenty of poke and a decent looking car on the road. Enough styling que's for those "who know", to know... but for everyone else, it just looks like a 5 series, which has always been the point of an m5. Proper wolf in sheep's clothing. What do you think the chances are of getting a Multimac 4 seat in there?

[@dadcars]

👋 I agree… and yes I think it can be done, I measured it 😎

[@chunkplunk]

my dad just swapped his m550i for an m5 competition and it has everything that the other car was missing

[@dadcars]

👌😊

[@derrickpangilinan]

nice different take in car reviews

[@dadcars]

😊🙌

[@iggynator321]

I believe that BMW underrates the horsepower to achieve "advertised" power even with really poor quality fuel. So, if you put high quality fuel in the car it will make much more power.

[@dadcars]

That’s interesting… yes the fuel these days is rather bad!

[@ph4n1th]

THIS IS SO CUTEEE

[@Dingleberry69420]

Holy shit that’s the type of father I would be too 😅

[@dadcars]

🙌😎

[@ingvartorma9789]

When you have children, you should have the BMW M3 COMPETITION TOURING instead. So you have plenty of cargo space, for a pram, among other things, and in the model you're testing, there won't be much room for anything else when you put the pram in. Know what I'm talking about when you have 4 children who are now adults is that Comibil or whatever you call them in England.

[@dadcars]

Will have to check how much space across there is in the back of the new M3 as the F80 is 2 child seats only

[@ss_IIII]

What color is that? Also ive noticed that some owners and BMW put that trunk spoiler on the flat part of the trunk. It actually looks much better if you put it on the lip part of the trunk.

[@dadcars]

Ah I’ll have to look out for that

[@stevenbridgland3727]

Is the RS6/RS5 a real alternative ?
