you nailed it HR.. what a nice review.. you made me dream about this car again, just like the way i did as a kid

I just about to order 535i model. I wasn't even thinking about BMW but once I test drove it, I admired it and can't help myself buying this! Thanks for your review!

Bought a 520d M Sport last week and have to say, I should have got one sooner. Absolutely love it. It's a different car altogether compared to everything else I've driven before. The thing I love the most is that the basic features across all cars are more or less the same. BMW do it the same too, but different and, in most cases better. Going from a car with common all garden features to a 5 takes a little getting used to but once you have, it's amazing. The whole process just flows from getting comfy in your seat, to ending your journey and everything in-between.

This review is the reason I bought the 535D. Thank you

535d is a great all rounder had mine for a year and cherish it.

Currently own 520, its an amazing car and the level of technology is comparable to current car. Though the look might not be the best but this is the car for me. Been driving for past 2 years and gonna drive another year before considering the all new 5

cause of this car im working 7 days a week 😀😀😀but that's my dream car right here can't wait to buy it

Have to say i do listen to a lot of reviews online this review is one of the best as it was concise and straight to the main points with information !!

I have to say... This is by FAR on of the best review videos I've seen from an amateur channel. Lots of TOP GEAR UK styling influence, in fact almost in lock step with.... But that helps make this great. Good script, good camera work, fantastic audio and music collection. For a channel with such an early sized following, I see great things coming for you. Good video, even better car!

Just sold my 1 series and bought my first 520d in this exact spec shown in the video, went for a test drive in an Eclass Amg night edition and couldn't be more disappointed the mercs gearbox and lack of power was so underwhelming, then today I jumped in the 5 series for a test drive and immediately fell in love couldnt get back to the dealer fast enough to sign the papers. Couldn't be happier. Ps I love this guys reviews he seems very passionate, should have a hell of a lot more viewers and subscribers.

I have an older 2011 535i and it's aging beautifully. Love it and yes, I find every excuse to drive anywhere!

Love this review....good info, deadpan humour and nice editing. I have just put the 313bhp 535d at the top of my wish list and your review confirmed all my initial thoughts

He should replace Chris Evans on Top Gear !!!

This is the most honest review of this car ever. My uncle owns it and I've driven it quite few times and he has every option available fitted in the car, believe it or not, I'd personally award this car the best looking saloon ever made. If you're buying this then buy the M-sports one cuz the looks more aggressive and awesome

I missed the dinner party and kept driving 535i :)

I just bought a 2013 550i XDrive with M sport package with 22k miles. Absolutely killer muscle car (440 hp) wrapped in a super luxury high tech package. Uh...don't plan on getting more than 20 mph with this beast.....But you don't get 90 mph in just a few seconds and good gas mileage at the same time.

I can very much agree to this video. Splendid. Have had my 2012 523i , 6 cylinder, for 4yrs and am really pleased with it. It grows on you and stands the test of time, I think.

Ok watched them all..eagerly awaiting you next video. Wife had a 320CD, that was amazing on long drives across the channel!

I would say one of the best review I have ever seen ..its not about bragging the F10, your information is very precise about it ..I'm planning to get a 520i this year ..Making my Mom happy ..She loves BMW ..

Great review!!

Really good review! You covered everything I wanted to know about this car!!

My 2011 525d msport timing chain broke causing damage to the engine..... half the engine had to be rebuilt. ... then the gearbox messed up! Only 90k miles!! My previous car was E60 530d I had 6 years of trouble free motoring and done 120k miles in it. Car was on 80k when I bought it so it ended up on just over 200 miles and I never had any issues with it. I changed the engine oil and filter every 6k miles. Still have it cos I loved it so much

Superb review, I hope we can expect some more!

Great review indeed. Usually I hear only bad things about BMW, but I've had six of them and I'm impressed every time. I could also say, that BMW cars are most abused in the industry (my opinion). Drag racing and drifting does harm to them and then when they break down, it is car's fault.

Very good review, many thanks.

Very nice review and very well put. I love the way you talk and the things you've addressed. Keep up the good work. Never drove a 535d, just a 530d. Also, i've driven a 520d and a 525d. The difference between the last two is that the 525 accelerates more linear than the 520. Paradoxically I loved the feeling in the 520d because when the rev needle was at about 2000-2100 rpm, if I would floor it, it would pull instantaneously and very hard. But, in the 525d, whenever I would floor it, wherever the rev needle would be, it would pull linearly until 4200 - 4500 rpm approx. Well, I disliked the feeling in the 525d, even if it had more hp (218 vs 184 = 34 extra) because they are beginning/pulling too early and they pull softer than the 520d --> being on a longer scale of rpm. I know the speed was higher at the 525d but ... it was not a big of a deal. I forgot to mention that the 525d was xDrive, maybe that was also an issue because the xDrive takes a bit of the pleasure from that rear wheel drive feeling. Is that the same issue with the 530d vs 535d? Also, i would like to ask you if driving a 535d WITHOUT xDrive let's you put all those 313 hp down and use them fully? Or if you press the pedal at low speeds you just do a lot of tire scratching? How about curves at low speeds, the DSC light keeps flashing? I am a torque fan and I want to buy a used 535d with the 313 hp, not the 299hp. It's difficult to find a xDrive and a RWD and test them for a week. So your opinion about this would be much appreciated. Regards

no car is as good looking as this

you wanna go home early ,,just to drive the car,,100 % truth

Miss my F10 528i so much!

Great reviewing

I'm still running an e39 528i touring (165k on the clock and hasn't missed a beat) and I love it to bits, might be time to upgrade soon though...

Amazing video

great little video this, great info & funny too, the flashing & waving when you overtake in a BMW, ha ha, classic! one question tho, what year is that white 5 series?

cant wait to buy mine :)

I loved your comment at 5:55 about leaving parties early just so you can drive it again. I just got a 2011 535i for $16k. It is in such luxe condition and is so fun and enjoyable to drive I find myself running needless errands and looking for any any excuse just to drive it. I've even considered signing up as an Über driver; hell maybe I'll recoup gas and maintenance costs and get paid to drive my own car.

Good video mate. 🤘

I love the way you speak English very easy to understand in America it's hard for me and I was born and raised here

Great video, good and enjoyable delivery :) I am biased as mum as one of these, but I do agree that the car does drive differently between 2011-present.

Just got a 530d m sport with h.u.d. harmon kardon, sun roof, pro plus nav, pleased? you betcha.

Ahahah "they were flashing their lights, that's really good"😂😂😂😂

I completely agree with this review - the 5 Series is a real star.

he sounds so classic. which is good.

I have a rich doctor buddy who owns a 5 series. He loves it when its not in the shop. He is on his third transmission in 3 years. I have run up the mileage on my Lexus driving him back and forth to the BMW dealership for his repairs. My Lexus has never seen the inside of a Lexus repair shop in over 10 years of ownership. I love the looks of the BMW better than my Lexus, but I don't need the headaches he has had. Its one thing after another for him. If I had his money.......

I just got myself 530d M Pack With Pro Nav Memory Seats Panoramic Roof. I'm so so happy that I didn't buy 520d it's a great car but 530d is just more suited for such a large and heavy car.

Is there any difference between a 3 series and a 5 series apart from the size if they both have same size engine? Eg 320i vs 520i what are the differences?

The 3 Series with the same twin turbo 335d engine, is insanely quick, and driven with care can return close to 50mpg. A friend of mine nearly bought one, and during his test drive, i was sitting in the back, whilst the sales executive was driving. Why on earth would you buy an M3, when the M Sport 335d offers more performance anyone needs on the road, and returns decent economy.

Great review but now I’m sweating a bit because I’m picking up my new 520d touring with M bodykit this weekend but now I’m thinking I should do at least a 530 if not go all in on a 535. Aaaaaargh heeeelp me.

Hahaha summarised the best side of BMW drivers ha! Few issues with the "how long it can function for" statement however. Had 3 BMW's which all had issues, luckily they were covered under warranty. Time to get your hands on a Lexus GS450h I think......

Im thinking about buying the 2013 520d M Sport model. Is this a good move ?

One of the Major fix lists they haven't addressed is how easy is it for thieves to steal the steering wheel (sports being specific). My 535d is brilliant however I've succumbed to the fact of the black economy in which an insurance claim to order a new steering wheel; broken glass etc which can be anywhere between 1.5 - 4k depending on features is making BMW a serious amount of bonus. Other manufacturers have for example Audi, Mercedes depending on the model require the car to be started and steering to be turned round d to access the securing assembly etc. Just KZfaq how easy it is...

Nice car i like the 5 series a6 end e classe rivalry I thinks it's the best

The voice over quality is exceptional. What's your setup?

Guys I am having a vibration issue with this car when going faster than 65mph, tends to get worse as you go faster. I've had the car balanced 3 times and aligned at Kwik fit. I've seen lots of people have this problem with the f10 5 series on the forums. Anyone have and idea what it could be ?

that number plate !

If you like this car you might try the previous two generations, that actually handled well.

Sorry I meant 20 miles per Gallon, not 20 mph!. It does need at least 89 octane gas also - preferably 91 octane. I put 87 octane with 10% ethanol in it and it did NOT like it.

Amazing car. I have a 520d of the same age - You should do a comparison with that

What is with those lumps in the new steering wheel at 10 and 2? Fake leather wrap? Fail.

Still have to love the E60 535d LCI m sport. It is better looking in my opinion.

👍👍👍

What about that timing chain issue ? DIRT.

Wonder what HR thinks of the Jaguar XF 3.0D S...

my 5th bimmer... and i thought my 06 E90 330 MT was my fav until i got my 535 F10..best looking sedan out there...

nice house

wow the English country side is beautiful!

the acoustics in this model all weird sometimes you can't hear the person in the seat next to you talking at all.. but if anyone sings it's unbearably loud and intrusive. strange?

Bought this car 3 months ago, 520D M Sport 2015 in white. What a mistake....my wife doesn't love me anymore.

lol luv bmw hand signal

There unbeatable in their class

Good voice

Yes, the car is good, but the price is good too $70K plus tax in US.

Best cars in the world -- 4, 5, 6 or 7 series...

Be very wary of car reviewers that focus the camera on themselves 90% of the time. It's all about them, not the car.

God this guy makes me feel like dumping my RR SVR for a 535🤔

55-60 MPG? Sounds like kilometers.

535i with 36mpg, dude what are you smokin? It does 30mpg on the highway according to bmw.

consumer reports it's in the bottom 3 for reliable. audi is 3 behind lexus and Toyota

Did not like the reference to a swear word and correspinding hand gesture.

528i 535i 550i in America :(

What a crappy plug for Global Radio.

WHAT CAR WINNER AGAIN LOL

BMW diesel? Naaah - BMW is good when it comes with petrol engines!

4:47 Lmao thats literally the opposite of all bmw drivers, they buy for looks and know reliability is abysmal

Is this BMW commercial or what? What about reliability, running costs and other important stuff?! Mostly in reviews they talk about emotions 🤨

😂😂😂

this is a nice car but compared to the E-class its still far behind, especially the interior

Only trouble with BMW cars is in the snow rear wheel drive is F#CKING useless 👎

Buy a golf r smoke the bmw 😂

What a weird intro
