Content

0 -> This is the all-new BMW 5 Series, it comes in different powertrains and no matter if

5.68 -> combustion engine or here the all-electric BMW i5, it will look the same.

12.4 -> Different approach than the recently launched

15.255 -> Mercedes E-Class which is then in the EV version,

18.36 -> the EQE.

19.361 -> Here BMW puts it all on one platform, it has

22.36 -> pros and cons, we'll discuss it here with

25.16 -> Thomas in Autogefühl in 4K, full screen, full length.

28.4 -> Let's go here with the i5 M60, the sporty

31.573 -> version of the all-electric one and it features

35.2 -> the M Sport package and also the M Sport package

38.877 -> Pro that also gives you the black double kidney

42.48 -> here which also is coming here in this illumination,

45.983 -> the Iconic Glow, that's an option, pretty

48.76 -> spectacular, isn't it?

50.68 -> Headlamps with a slim daytime running light

53.477 -> integration also with multiple high beam functions

56.72 -> and the M60 also has these black accentuations all over the vehicle.

61.44 -> This cool color here is called Fire Red.

64.4 -> Side profile... one, two, three box design is rather typical business sedan look.

72.36 -> This is also differentiation to the new purpose-built

76.279 -> EV platforms which look like a raindrop or something.

80.401 -> What would you prefer as a customer?

82.08 -> Tell me in the comments.

83.081 -> I personally... a more like this angular

85.29 -> German Bauhaus design, you know what I mean?

87.84 -> In length, it has slightly been increased by

90.59 -> 10 centimeters or 4 inches, now at 5.06 meters

93.28 -> or 199 inches.

96.72 -> Wheels, 18 to maximum 21 inch, these are the biggest available in this M style.

103.76 -> Wow, this looks pretty amazing, right?

106.28 -> And it also features here the red brake calipers

108.985 -> with the special M brake, has a little bit

111.36 -> more performance.

112.68 -> This vehicle here is also featured with the optional carbon package, then you also get

116.92 -> these carbon fiber elements, for example, at the side mirrors.

121 -> Suspension and rear axle steering comes in an optional package.

124.68 -> So, that means you have a base suspension, you have a fixed M suspension for stiffer

130.96 -> driving if you like that, and then optionally

133.502 -> you have the adaptive dampers which are in

135.88 -> combination with rear axle steering, rear wheels turn in the opposite direction, the

140.6 -> front wheels up to 2.5 degrees, and then you

143.76 -> can also get this adaptive suspension in an

146.92 -> M setup for a little bit stiffer riding.

149.92 -> And you know you get the best briefing here

152.569 -> at Autogefühl, the i5, the electric version

155.28 -> and the plug-in hybrid version will get rear

158.1 -> axle air suspension to level out this niveau

160.92 -> at the rear axle because of the increased weight by the batteries.

165.24 -> Also interesting, isn't it?

166.72 -> Rear design, again, it's always the same no

169.202 -> matter if you go all electric or in the combustion

172.08 -> engine side, and I think it's cool that you have the same look all across the vehicle,

177.24 -> and my experience is that people do not want

179.805 -> this, hey, I go electric, so I want a completely

182.6 -> different vehicle design.

183.76 -> No, people want a nice design on the exterior

186.092 -> no matter if electric or not, isn't it?

188.12 -> And I think here, really horizontal, slim stress, looks really cool, the M60 version,

193.56 -> once again with sporty diffuser-alike situations in the lower part.

198 -> Now, we made it a little bit darker for you to see the turn indicators, really widely

204.6 -> drawn, good to see, and looks cool, doesn't it?

207.84 -> And in front, you see this pulsing effect like a heartbeat.

214.36 -> When you hit it on the interior here, you have

217.232 -> this show effect also across the cockpit, wow!

220.08 -> Does the i5 have a frunk?

222.92 -> It doesn't, but it has a very nice M engine cover right here.

229.04 -> Battery size, 81 kilowatt hours, so it's not as large as in the i7, for example.

235.68 -> They could just not fit more battery here in this very platform here.

240.08 -> The real world range will be something 400

243.989 -> to up to 500 kilometers, so 250 to 300 miles

248.32 -> depending on the condition.

250.2 -> Pre-conditioning of the battery is included,

253.011 -> the preheating, independent preheating, and

255.76 -> also the heat pump all comes as standard equipment.

259.84 -> Here, the electric version either as rear-wheel

262.629 -> drive, as an entry version, or all-wheel drive

265.36 -> models also counts for the M60, and that is then the quickest overall, 3.8 seconds to

271.4 -> 100 kilometers an hour or 62 miles an hour.

275.36 -> Plug-in hybrid, four or six-cylinder petrol as

278.181 -> base, also pure four or six-cylinder petrol

280.88 -> engines as we know from BMW, just that the

283.179 -> six-cylinder petrol engine will not be available

285.8 -> in the EU.

286.801 -> Diesel side, also four and six cylinders and

290.252 -> probably a V8 plugin-hybrid for the M5 model.

293.68 -> Recharging for the i5, 11 or 22 kilowatt AC,

297.223 -> 205 kilowatt DC, and that means a quick charging

301.12 -> from 10% to 80% state of charge in around 30 minutes.

306 -> If you want more information on the combustion

308.102 -> engines and the hybrid, we have a full engine

310.16 -> lineup in our pinned comment, check it out.

313.2 -> And now the rain outside stopped just for a second, and we cleaned this vehicle here

317.44 -> outside now, so you get an outside perspective

320.259 -> of the lines, the silhouette of the vehicle.

322.96 -> What do you think about the design of the new 5 Series?

326.16 -> Tell me in the comments.

327.161 -> And here, we have a different color for you in Brooklyn Gray.

330 -> This is one of my favorite colors, I really love it, pretty cool, isn't it?

333.92 -> This one does feature the M Sport Package, but not the M Sport Package Pro, and that

338.88 -> means here, the outer frame around the kidney

342.686 -> is bright or let's say this matte silver look.

346.08 -> Then you can also even better see this vertical fins.

348.96 -> We also have the illumination here.

351.24 -> Overall, I think I like it better in this

353.569 -> spec here with a bright kidney and maybe also

356.12 -> a brighter color, but the red wasn't also too bad, right?

359.4 -> Wheels here, we have also the 21-inch wheels,

362.16 -> so massive styling, and in this side profile,

364.92 -> this brighter color also gives you a better perspective of how the shape of the vehicle

369.68 -> is.

370.681 -> These dark frames around the window, by the

372.895 -> way, you do not have to go for them, you can

375.16 -> also de-pick them that you have a bright frame around.

378.96 -> And another rear perspective here of the i5 eDrive40 rear-wheel drive electric version,

385.8 -> the Brooklyn Gray and the M Sport Package, once again, with the black accentuations,

390.08 -> but if this would be a combustion engine, it would look the same.

393.92 -> The rear-wheel drive version of the i5, by

395.678 -> the way, 6 seconds is the acceleration figure

397.56 -> here, and top speed 190 kilometers an hour

401.195 -> or 120 miles an hour, and the M60 i5 is even

405 -> 230 kilometers an hour top speed, so that's 140 miles an hour.

409.16 -> And this one here in Sophisto Gray without the M Sport Pack, so this would be a base

414.64 -> 5 series, in this case, it's also the plug-in

417.222 -> hybrid, we have the bright frame around the

419.64 -> kidney, vertical fins inside there, and not such a sporty look in the lower part, so we

426.96 -> have less black accentuations, but I think it works also well here in this base look.

432.32 -> And here you can see the base headlamps, normal

434.906 -> LED without matrix and without adaptive function.

437.6 -> Here in the side profile, you have 19-inch

439.671 -> wheels for this very vehicle, so you can see

441.84 -> how it looks with smaller wheels.

443.8 -> I think 19 also work well, 18 would maybe be a little bit too small.

447.88 -> Here, of course, you have more dampening from

450.056 -> the tires, this case then also with the bright

452.28 -> frames around that has a more traditional, more elegant styling, and you can see this

457.4 -> contrast with the stamped in 5 a little bit better.

460.92 -> And in the rear, you can see also bright inserts

463.778 -> here for the base version instead of the black

466.52 -> with the M Sport Pack.

467.72 -> Key fob here with the M colors, and then the

470.623 -> door handles still come towards you, so there's

473.72 -> like a physical feedback.

475.96 -> Door closing sound is decent, nothing special

479.061 -> though, and inside of the doors, nice soft

481.96 -> materials, for example, here also at the top,

484.127 -> and the integration of the ambient lighting

486.2 -> is already here.

487.68 -> Let me directly take a test seat in there, nice

490.267 -> soft cushioning, soon more to the materials

492.64 -> with 189 or 6'2".

494.92 -> I have still some headroom left, and there

497.187 -> will be different panoramic roofs available.

499.56 -> This one here is the one that goes all the way through with a shade you can also put

504.36 -> there.

505.361 -> On the US market, you will also get a smaller

508.447 -> one that you can open or optional this one.

511.4 -> What do you think about the door handle from

513.69 -> the inside with this opening to the bottom part?

516.881 -> I think it's actually quite handy, so why not, feels good.

521.04 -> These are the new Veganza seats, so they're all animal free, really soft, high class,

526.16 -> and also at least at the same durability.

529.08 -> And in the M60, you have these Alcantara inserts,

531.84 -> but they are perforated, and behind them,

534.16 -> you can see the M colors.

536.72 -> That's a beautiful idea.

538.24 -> And these new seats are not only available

540.38 -> with seat heating, but also with seat cooling.

542.72 -> Steering wheel is usually also animal free,

545.06 -> unless it is this one, the optional M steering

547.56 -> wheel, which comes with the M Sport package,

550.055 -> and then it has the additional spoke there too.

553.441 -> Interior cockpit overview, a lot of ambient

555.596 -> lighting integration, and this curved screen

557.8 -> layout, two single screens, these are then.

560.724 -> The build quality, what you see, what you feel,

564.04 -> and so on, is really high class.

565.68 -> They are on top of the competition, and it

568.084 -> used to be the other way around, so good job

570.6 -> at for this respect.

571.76 -> I'm glad we still have some real physical buttons, for example, here at the steering

575.88 -> wheel for the cruise control, and also on the

577.74 -> right side, where we can control the digital

579.56 -> instruments.

580.561 -> There, for example, you can change the whole layout of the digital instruments.

584.2 -> You can also get a head-up display with different views available.

588.64 -> So tell me, which ambient light color would you actually set in the BMW 5 Series?

594.8 -> You know, I'm always a fan of blue, but this looks also quite cool, doesn't it?

600 -> Yeah, either this individual thing, or you go to the My Mode selection.

604.88 -> For example, when you go to the Sports Mode,

607.797 -> it changes to red, or this Efficient Mode

610.52 -> changes to blue, and also how it builds up there, that looks always pretty amazing.

615.56 -> And if you press it here, you hear it also

618.482 -> that the roof also goes open.

620.6 -> Relax would be the other way around.

622.6 -> Now, the roof closes again.

623.96 -> That's why you hear the audio of the roof closing, or Digital Art.

628.8 -> It goes all the way closed and open with the

631.213 -> roof when you switch it through that quickly.

633.68 -> Infotainment system, OS 8.5, with this new home screen.

637.4 -> The car internal GPS is actually also quite responsive, so very quick system.

642.24 -> Yes, you have a lot of different apps you have to get used to it.

645.28 -> Oh, even AirConsole Games.

647.76 -> And for example, when you have the i5 and

649.884 -> you're doing a recharging stop, you can also

652.16 -> use the AirConsole, and then use your smartphone,

656.003 -> maybe one or even two with two players, and

659.32 -> with this connection, you can also play games, like this kart gaming here.

664.16 -> Other than that, wireless Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.

667.56 -> The integration here is really cool, very crisp screen.

671.68 -> So I like this modern infotainment system indeed.

674.56 -> Yeah, besides the control for the climate here, this is then seat heating and so on,

680.6 -> the heated steering wheel, and this is the whole climate unit here, the digital one.

685.32 -> This could be done easier, but for a digital

688.132 -> solution, at least it is kind of self-explanatory.

691.32 -> Lower middle console here with the inductive

693.595 -> charging pad, and it has these holes that

695.72 -> suck away the hot air, because it doesn't overheat then.

700.12 -> And then you have here the adaptive cup holders.

702.64 -> And I'm glad to be able to control the infotainment

705.933 -> system also from here, still while driving.

708.72 -> This crystalline effect, however, is an option

711.086 -> I would not go for, because it can blind,

713.6 -> you know, you while driving.

715.8 -> And here, well, you don't have a real shifting

718.144 -> lever anymore, more this integrated solution.

720.44 -> It is clear and small, but doesn't convey so much sportiness.

724.52 -> And finally, this split

726.132 -> opening of the armrest.

727.72 -> And talking about luxury functions, it does even feature a rear sunshade.

734.44 -> Rear seating area still has this middle tunnel,

737.57 -> also because of the platform share, and the

740.48 -> i5 uses this then for batteries.

744.28 -> Rear climate unit is now digital like this.

747 -> Here the vent strength, that's a little bit too complicated, I think, where you have to

750.76 -> press there.

751.761 -> Testing the seats in the rear, by the way, you have this shade here, manual shade for

756.2 -> the rear passengers like this.

758.72 -> And then the wheelbase has been increased

761.165 -> slightly, and you have these very nice recesses

763.96 -> here for the back part of the seat.

765.72 -> So there is actually decent legroom also when I'm driving as a tall driver.

771.48 -> These are iPad holders here, good solution

774.079 -> with USB-C charging, and headroom in the rear.

776.92 -> There's still some lefty with 189 or 6'2".

780.08 -> Overall, quite decent comfort for the rear passengers.

782.88 -> So this is also a step forward.

784.52 -> Funny, by the way, this additional, oh, the

787.657 -> small shade here for the rear for the secondary

791.08 -> window.

792.081 -> Trunk or boot area, 520 liters for all version

795.671 -> except the i5 here at 490 liters, a small

799 -> compromise.

800.001 -> It's not as high, just a little bit, but even

802.72 -> the plug-in hybrid will feature the same size

805.44 -> as the other versions.

806.441 -> Here the length is decent, 1 meters 10 or 43 inches.

811.12 -> Limitation a little bit in the width with about 90 centimeters or 35 inches, and the

815.48 -> height here for the i5, 45 centimeters or 18 inches, a little bit higher than for the

821.16 -> other versions.

822.161 -> You can see you have a two-third, one-third split.

824.8 -> You can release the seats from here and then

827.8 -> fold them, and underneath we have a storage,

830.8 -> for example, also for charging cables.

832.96 -> Second interior for today with the Viganza seats in brown.

836.96 -> Different colors are available and always with that perforation, and here we can also

842.24 -> see in this different interior trim, here we have a bright aluminum style.

847.96 -> That looks quite cool, also with the structure,

850.98 -> and overall it looks then a little bit brighter

854 -> on the interior.

855.56 -> One more quick look at the rear seats, and this

858.656 -> one here is also equipped with the panoramic

861.56 -> roof, the fixed one, but with a very wide view.

866.4 -> In this interior here is featuring more interesting elements.

870.44 -> First of all, these are the comfort seats.

873.44 -> They are a little bit more wide and open

875.728 -> and so on, and I also feel that the material

878.24 -> here is also a little bit softer.

880.56 -> These were also the Viganza seats, and when you don't go for the M Sport Pack, then you

884.92 -> also have the base steering wheel.

887.04 -> This has no spoke in the lower part.

889.2 -> We know the steering wheel from the BMW iX, and this one then is also a vegan material,

894.4 -> and it's pretty soft, actually a very nice grip, so that will also be possible, and we

899.36 -> also have matte wood as decor element.

902.68 -> One more look at the bright rear seats.

905.68 -> I think here in this ivory styling for the

908.416 -> Viganza seats looks even cooler, doesn't it?

911.28 -> Really nice, by the way, where we have these

913.807 -> stamped in five logos here all over the vehicle,

916.56 -> for example, also at the B pillars from the inside here.

919.76 -> There, for example, exterior paints available,

922.714 -> the matte ones that do not include raw oil.

925.48 -> They are working with bio oil, basically.

928.84 -> You know, at home, it's a good argument.

930.64 -> Yeah, honey, we have to go for the cool matte

932.748 -> paint because of sustainability and so on,

934.72 -> you know, yeah.

935.88 -> And of course, about the interior, not using

939.242 -> animal skin on the interior saves 85% of CO2e

942.68 -> emissions, so for the interior part, it's the biggest thing you can do for the profit

947.52 -> of humans, animals, and the environment.

950.24 -> What do I think?

951.241 -> Well, I think it's first of all really good that they did not go for the iX or 7 Series

956.96 -> beaver mono kidney, but still a rather traditional

960.207 -> look and also quite cool with the illumination there.

964.201 -> This overall more three-box design works very well to me.

968.4 -> I think more beautiful than this, "Hey, I'm an electric vehicle," look, you know.

972.84 -> Yes, as for aerodynamics, of course, for example,

975.807 -> Mercedes EQE is done better with this, you
