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.

Sadly children are given smartphones almost from birth so their minds will be wired for that user interface - however by the time they are old enough for this car it will not exist [and if it did it'll probably be even more unaffordable!] so why should the generations buying now suffer for some marketing department thinking of those who ain't gonna buy this car?

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.

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.

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.
@simonshusse 26 күн бұрын
But it is impacted no? No space under the trunk floor and really narrow between wheel arches.

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 3 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

Feels that the BMW design of current era has matured and feels consistent. Love the return of old style flush door handles in many new cars. From negative side, 5 series is way too large for my needs or small towns now.,,

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.

I own a Mercedes Benz E-Klass.. it´r probably going top be the last one i own.. This car looks stunning. And i love how BMW makes it so easy deciding to go for an EV but getting the same car. Thats what Mercedes can't handle which i don't understand. Can´t wait to order the i5 hopefully soon. 🖤 Such a great video as always. Liebe Grüße aus Hamburg ;)

I was waiting for this ar, currently driving G31 LCI well equipped like Nappa Leather, Comfort seats with vents and massages, I also have leather on my dash and soft-close which is crucial for me, I hate slamming doors. Additionally I use trunk window very very often and this something unacceptable for me that they just get rid off it? It was since BMW e34 Touring in every 5 series and I owned all of the models. You really dissapointed me BMW. I was waiting for G61 like for Christmass and I kow now that this Xmas never come out :(.

(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.

Can you please watch out for the new Camry? It's being rolled out in selected european countries, pre-production vehicle was already made available to reviewers. I would love to see review from you even if it's not planned for German market, it still serves as flagship Toyota model for a lot of other markets.
