New BMW 5 Series review - still the best?

The BMW i5 - it has finally arrived!
This is the first all-electric version of the iconic 5 Series saloon and sits between the i4 coupe and range-topping i7 limo.
While you get a large set of kidney grilles, they are not as intrusive as on the i4 or i7 - except for the weirdly placed sensor cover. You’ll also see flush door handles, alloy wheels ranging from 19- to 21-inch units and lots of blue flashes to ensure everybody knows it’s an electric car.
Inside, it’s a classic BMW - professional, tidy and filled with tech. The German brand has also increased the cabin size to make the already comfortable interior even more accommodating. The boot is practical too.
When it comes to the 5 Series, the entry-level uses a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine that puts out 208hp. When it comes to the i5, the entry-level i40 uses a single motor that puts out 340hp and is equipped with an 82kWh battery pack which comes with a claimed range of up to 361 miles.
The range-topping i5 is the M60, which has two motors that combine to put out 601hp. It has the same 82kWh battery pack, which is good for a range of 320 miles.
But as with all BMWs, how it drives is just as important - so how does the i5 fare when Mat takes it for a spin? Watch the full review here to find out!

@@trevorjohnson16 I thought criticism of the G30 design was stupid. The G60 on the other hand truly is discordant. I would put Mercedes designs up there with BMW and Porsche, especially in the past two generations with MB’s core sedans and even SUVs all looking incredibly attractive and sportier than in the past. BMW seems to have one ugly generation every 20 years and then quickly recover. The G70 and G60 ushered in the next one. After the 3 (and the E90 wasn’t bad looking so there is hope!), some sanity should be restored to their designs.🥴

@@G-Rated After receiving $billions in subsidies from the Australian govt over the years, GM decided to pull the plug and end its GMH (General Motors Holden) manufacturing operations in 2017, putting thousands out of work. Holden had a proud tradition of car manufacture going back to 1948 (and before that as a wagon builder and coach-builder to other manufacturers), and was a beloved part of the Australian psyche as evidenced in the 'meat pies, football, kangaroos and Holden cars' advertising jingle - which ironically was based on a Chevrolet ad. Part of the reason for its demise in Aus was its range of model offerings didn't really cater to what the population was wanting, i.e. SUV-type vehicles, and when they did eventually climb onboard the band wagon it was too little, too late (plus the fact the cars they offered were pretty ordinary anyway). The last Holden-designed muscle car, the VF-SSV, was/is a classic of its type and was exported to the US in small numbers as the Chevrolet SS. It should have been a winner in the US but GM did nothing to promote it and even banned sales to Canada. Lucky owners who did manage to snag one can't believe how good the car is and what value for money it represented. Now do you see why the name of GM stinks in Australia?

Great video Mat, I have to agree about those indicator stalks, speaking as a former 5 Series owner they were always a thing of subtle beauty, never had that cheap sounding twang of poor spring dampening, that’s a bit of a driver focused miss on the part of bmw, which we normally hold with higher standards. I also think it’s a bit too expensive as it’s not riding aloft a bespoke EV platform which ever passenger will see clearly the moment the enter the back seats and encounter that massive transmission tunnel, surely that could have been a removable part in the chassis building process for the EV variants.

14:05 It's only worth upgrading from 11kw to 22kw if you have 3 phase at your property or wherever you intend on doing most of your charging, otherwise not worth it. Because for the majority of people, even with the standard 11kw charging ability, they will only be able to charge at 7kw because most properties only have single phase electricity.

@royalgm 8 ай бұрын

Besides having 3 phase, you also need to have a ton of current capacity. 11kW is 3x16A. 22kW is 3x32A. And then you need to have some left over for your house too. 3x40A is not normal to have at a single family home. More viable in apartment building garages with load balancing.

Hi Matt, great video. I agree with you it looks better than the Mercedes. Yes that miles per kilowatt is low but as you said it will have been hammered. I do agree with you the handling is always going to be difficult to master due to the weight but most people don’t throw that sort of car round to the limit. It’s more the look and the potential performance it has. You didn’t say how much the like for like petrol equivalent was.

@purwantiallan5089 8 ай бұрын

@ILoveGaybo 7 ай бұрын

Battery size divided by miles/hwh isn't the correct way to calculate range. Calculating in this way ignores regen. If you're driving down a highway and never ever slowing down or stopping, yes it might be more accurate, but then the miles/kWh number would be lower in the first place. I'm surprised at this error.
