Known for its great driving experience. For the brand BMW.
And will this BMW 5 Series live up to it name in terms of comfort and luxury.
and how will this BMW 5 series fare against its competitors in the executive saloon segment? Let go see.
For this year 5 series, there are 3 trims to choose from.
and 2 engine options.
for the base model, will be the 520d M sport priced at 3,499,000 thb
For hybrid version, there's 530e Highline, priced at 3,499,000 thb
But if you are interested in the hybrid version with full options, 530e M sport, priced at 3,899,000 thb
For the colours, it pretty hard to explain due to it combination with the seats, therefore, I'll show you on the screen.
But basically there're 6 colours to choose from, white, black, bronze, gold bronze, blue bronze and dark grey.
For the looks, I feel that it's cool and sporty looking as a BMW should.
But there are a couple of my friends, who feel that it hasn't change much from the previous generation.
I feel that might be the case but the technology inside this car isn't old at all.
What's interesting is on the grills right here, which opens automatically when it needs cooling.
It also helps with the car's aerodynamic.
All the air holes are usable except for these ones right here. Which can be seen as helping the aerodynamic as well.
The sides are, there are the 19 inches M sports diamond cut wheels. Which only comes with the top model.
The insides are black and silver in front.
If you look inside you will see the M sports brakes, which is very cool.
There are no extra designs on the brakes like in the Mercedes Benz E300
Here's the plug-in hybrid plug receiver.
And here are more air holes. Which helps with maintaining efficient fuel consumption.
Let's go to the back.
I like the like how they design the diffusers down here. These are actual exhaust, unlike some brands that are there for just the design.
The spoiler here is an extra options. Does not come with the car.
BMW 5 Series comes with hands-free excess. By just kicking the here.
Inside we will find the trunk space, which the load lift's a bit high, but the floor can be lift up like this to help you.
The reason it's so high is because this is where the hybrid battery is store.
More storage on the sides. Left and right
2 hooks here. And 1 12V reciever here.
But this car cannot fold the back seats which can be a problem when you need the space. Unlike the E Class.
When it comes to actually load the trunk, everything is fine, especially when the floor is lifted up. Golf bags are fine too.
Closing is also automatic.
For the charging plug, it would be stored in a bag like this.
You can charge the car by pushing here and plug it in
Charging takes about 3-4 hours at home, which gives you about 30km on electric alone.
Fast charging station takes about 2.5 hours.
But as the receiver is in front of the car, you would have to park your car head first which can be unusual for some of you.
For the key, it's a touchscreen, which I feel is a little gimmicky
The interior of the 5 Series may be familiar to people who have used a BMW. But there are certainly improvement in terms of the technology inside.
Now I'm inside the BMW 5 Series.
As for the design, it might not look as fancy as any of the Mercedes Benz cars.
But, it does give a more of a casual feels towards the car.
The quality of the materials and the built quality are obviously extremely well crafted.
Everything is extremely tight and solid. The leather are soft to the touch.
For the storage, here we have 2 cup holders. Fits a 1 litre bottle.
Wireless charger inside here. And also a 12v charger.
But it has the same problem as the E class which is it's difficult to get into.
The door side storage also fits a 1-litre bottle.
Which is great and also great storage here as well.
The middle compartment here, there are some space, a usb receiver and 12v.
As for the i-drive system, it is still my favourite infotainment system
It is well organized and fast.
There are a lot of ways to control the i-drive, the knob here with writable surface, hand gesture control
The steering wheel is a multi-function steering wheel. You can control most of the things from here too.
the left side is for the brake cruise control, which isn't the adaptive cruise control.
I don't really enjoy the leather on the seats, for me I feel that it's quite rough and hard.
Personally, I like the Mercedes and the Camry leather better than this.
Features, that only comes with the top model include, sunroof (not panoramic), Harman Kadon stereo
Which isn't the best BMW can offer, as BMW in other countries will receive the Bower and Wilkins sound system.
The 360 surround camera only comes with the top model as well. It also tell you the safe distance for your door.
Soft close system on the doors does not come with safety stop. Which can be dangerous for younger kids.
You can close the door softly and let the soft close system take over.
There is plenty of space here in the back seat.
As well as the head and knee space.
There's armrest in the middle here. Including cup holders.
The compartment here is also spacious.
The door side compartment can fit 2 1-litre bottles.
Aircon here and some small compartment here. Also 2 12v receivers.
Manual curtains here and here.
The engine of the BMW 5 series 530e is a 2000cc engine , 252 horsepower, 420 newton metre torque and 0-100 in 6.2 seconds. Weight at 1.77 tons.
Comparing to the E class at 1.92 tons. But how will does it compare when driving.
For the driving experience you'll get from this car.
I feel that it's a great car to drive, it is extremely smooth during gear change.
You might want to let the car do its own thing since it is extremely efficient in doing so.
The transition from electric to fuel is also smooth, you can't really feel it in the car.
I could say that there are no noise coming into the car, which gives you a pleasant driving experience.
The car handle turns very well, as a BMW should do.
Now the things that I don't particularly enjoy, the suspension of this car isn't an airbag suspension which helps with the smoothness of the ride.
Therefore, bumps and holes greatly affect the ride inside this car.
Driving modes, include eco pro, comfort and sport.
Which locks the interface screen right here
For the comfort mode, it tells you the power consumption rather than the engine rev.
And you cannot change it.
The modes only change the weight of the steering wheel and the engine.
Unlike the Mercedes, where it would also change the suspension and also the traction.
The head-up display tells you enough information. Including maps and notifications.
Other things that should have come with the car include blind spot assist and the adaptive cruise control.
Adaptive cruise control is one of the things in life that when you have experienced it, you can't go back.
Even the CHR has it, so BMW has no excuse for this lost in option.
In conclusion, for this BMW 5 series.
It's a good car with great driving. Great in turns and extremely smooth gear transitioning.
But, when it comes to features and functions. We've lost adaptive cruise control and adjustable suspension.
Not getting the Bower and Wilkins is also a bummer.
And other small details such as sunroof which isn't panoramic, non-foldable backseat and the lack of blind spot assist.
Hence, overall, this car is still far away from being perfect.
