Hurray for a pretty EV wagon, finally... But now you need to justify the price and small battery versus the Model S hatchback that's existed for 12 years already, and probably has more cargo space, and saves a lot of time on long driving days by just going way further. I think German brands except for Porsche are just being ultra lazy in their design and engineering, especially when it comes to BEVs. The Audi A6 that shoudl have the Macan drivetrain might be a difficult option to ignore. But if the Lucid Air came as a wagon, I'd just go for that one in stead. Tesla...too common but sadly hard to beat apart from creature comforts. Will Jaguar survive the BEV change? Their XF Sportbrake is amazing. seats fold pretty flat, car looks great. Just slightly expensive optioned out and terrible resale value. If only they got a great chassis for the BEV route, like the Taycan or even Macan or cheapest Lucid.

Along with the missing felt in the map pockets, we’d also like to have back the soft close doors, comfort access on the rear door handles, seat back pockets, door sill plaques, ambient lighting on the rear doors, and full leather on the dash and door tops. It’s also missing dual pane glass, which is pretty common on EVs to reduce road noise, even coming standard on the much cheaper Model 3 now. The cost cutting BMW did on this is ridiculous

Yeap. Last summer I was trying not BMW but mercedes and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. German carmakers, particularly the premium ones are cutting too much, especially in terms of materials. I am not saying the Astra/308 Will last you longer but, getting out of a A class and going into any of those 2, the A class felt poorly assembled and ... Mondane. I had a way higher sensation of luxury in the PSA cars than on the mercedes ones. Now I am getting the feeling bmw is doing exactly the same: counting on the badge and not in the car to make sales.

That's what I was waiting for! I bought G31 based on your review 😂 But G31 all models got air suspension in the back as standard... Then they removed classic 5 touring electric trunk cover... Did they at least keep that rear glass can be opened independently? At least they kept smooth rear seat folding mechanism. I also see they removed emergency triangle cover that was nicely hidden behind the plastic... G31 had at least half padded door storage compatment... And the rear arm rest cup holders were way more unique in G31... So BMW is cutting corners in robustness, comfort and accessibility on each part of the car and for what... Flashy light bars, big unintuitive screens and touch buttons! It better to get G31 LCI while you still can... It would be interesting to see side by side comparison of G31 and this... But I wouldn't change my G31 for this, as it is properly German overengineered.

So continuing the trend of cost savings from the limousine, trunk cover is not retracting like at the G31, the tailgate window (a trademark and also perhaps a selling point sometimes compared with A6 Avant) not openable, release of the backseats seems to be now manual and not electrical like at G31 and these only at the first sight.

Hi Thomas. Once again, I appreciate the finer details you mention, door closing sound, seat folding mechanism, and interior lighting. I don't understand why BMW allowed a disjointed LED strip across the dash. It just looks incongruent. Hard pack material is not acceptable in this car. Especially since the previous model had soft touch on the entire door. Even the F30 3 series has vinyl on the lower door panel. Perhaps hard pack is more resistant to scuffs, but it feels cheap. BMW can do better.

Lmao looking at those rims. I lost 7 tires and a 21 inch rim in 22 months with my m550 xdrive driving on North Texas roads. Once 2 tires off of the front passenger within 24 h, the fronts are especially vulnerable to diving into pavement defects. They felt so bad for me that they didn’t charge me (tire was insured). No more sport sedans, or sport anything, until I move back to SFlorida. Living with a f150 asphalt remover now, helping Texas move back to the 19th century.

Another great presentation, love your videos! To me sunroofs should always be possible to open. I have had many BMWs with sunroof and I have never had one where it squeaks! And many of my cars has been 20 years+ . However I have heard that the sunroofs for the US market are different and can be opened. Can you give feedback to the BMW people that we also would like to have that on the option list in Europe!? I read the presentation in Norway today and they were claiming that the luggage compartment is 570 litres. I haven`t checked the specs at the BMW website so I do not know what is correcct. Keep up the good work! I look orward to the testdrive! :-)

@autogefuehl 6 ай бұрын

Thanks! 570 l is correct. Also in our data sheet, just spelling mistake by me. Roof: yea the US sedan also is available with a small sunroof that can be opened. Touring not

Good to see bmw figured out how to have dynamic steering rear wheels without it impacting the trunk space, this was a lost feature that bothered me when ordering the new E Class combi.

Given that I don't see myself spending money for any other body shape than an estate, this is appealing and it'll be fun to see what of the small problems will be fixed for production model. Personally, I have to add that if there has to be a panoramic glass roof, it's great that this one at least has a proper sliding fabric cover. The glass roof is a feature many companies love to push down the throat and doing plenty of winter driving, something I'd pay to not have. I hate the cold eminating down to the neck from those pointless glass roofs when it's -30 C..But even a fairly thin fabric cover provides surprising amounts of insulation.

@SimJoy 6 ай бұрын

On the BMW website all variants have 570 liters, I think it was a mistake from Thomas in the video. 570 liters are matching the G31 but the G60 is larger with almost 10cm. As a previous owner of a Skoda Superb and now of a G32 LCI BMW, I know what you mean :)

@@SimJoyI went from an E61 to a G31. The loss of luggage space was a real disappointment. My advice: don’t believe the folder but test it in real life. I don’t see much things that urge me to upgrade: 1) b58 engine only downtuned and in combination with electric (hybrid), complex touch-only dashboard, no rear window opening (it has been the unique feature of my cars since owning an E34 touring …). I do wonder whether the auto-steering improved considerably compared to the g30 model.

Vielen Dank für die hervorragende Bewertung, Thomas. Der Kombi der 5er-Reihe ist ein perfektes Beispiel für Stil, Leistung und Zweckmäßigkeit. Meine persönliche Präferenz wäre eine Version mit Verbrennungsmotor und Sechsgang-Schaltgetriebe. Vielleicht sehne ich mich nach der Zeit der traditionellen Motorenwerke. Bitte mach weiter mit deinen fantastischen Videos.

Based on this. It's better looking car than the new sedan. However I don't see a single reason to uppgrade my exsisiting 530e G31 to this. Why did BMW remove possibility to open back window separately? I Use that like 80% of the time.

I was going for the i5 sedan before I watched this video. Now, I am torn between the touring version vs the sedan. 😊 As usual, it all comes down to what the wife wants. 😅 I know I might be in the minority, but I like the Cape York Green metallic color. I also like the interior white colored seats.

Their strategy to have one platform for all drive trains does mean it’s a jack of all and master of none (ice V e). As a combi, it’s still smaller than Tesla Model Y, many of the VW ID models are similar for luggage. Imagine of the front had storage and the rear leg room was better- it’s a long car but not that spacious. If you get the E model and put a roof box on, the range will drop a lot- that’s where a better packaged electric model makes more sense

@panameradan6860 6 ай бұрын

(16:40) ... yeah, I prefer all-metal roofs myself, because of all the problems with glass in the roofs (that your mechanics mention, but which are rife everywhere on automotive forums) ... they are hard to keep clean, they add weight and cost, they can crack (and in many cases even shatter/explode) from kicked up or falling debris (rocks/branches) or from temperature differentials over time (heat/cold, on a flat surface), they can be annoying heat-wise and light-wise in cars where you can't shut out the roof-glass light, and they can be much worse in a rollover accident than all-metal roofs.
