BMW 5 Series Video Review - Kelley Blue Book

[therandygoat]

You should see the pricing in Norway. The entry models cost about 100.000 dollars, rack that up to 200.000 for the decked out ones.

[BlackOpsAFG]

k people BMW is not hard to maintain and its not at all expensive to service, bmw 5 series requres serice every 25 thousand km...thats why its a little more than others cause it lasts longer between services

[bortous]

Audi are not as good as BMW. They do have better quality materials in the interior but are nowhere near as attractive or as comfortable.

They do not handle as well not do they have great steering. All Audi feel numb. Audi were way behind BMW for years and recently started catching up.

[columbuscrewfan20]

Those headlight r also on my mom Lexus. BMW is so expensive.

[djkasdjkasdjdjdj]

i agree on the premium pricing, its soo not worth the cost!!!

[tameemz90]

These guys watch TopGear write down every Pro / Con they say put in it a video with bad video quality and a narrator and call it theres.

[moneshmahtani]

@moneshmahtani Jk its the worst lol

[moneshmahtani]

Audi is best

[7olusegun]

Though the BMW is good, it does not justify its high expense (typically German), both in sales & maintenance prices. That's a terrible downside.

[113mlb]

why do people think i drive is so hard. i mastered it in one day

[lamborgini96]

best 5 series !

[sandmansamperson]

those headlight cleaners are sooooo awesome

[penglipurlala]

Although the design is not as good as other series or model..but..hey!It's a BIMER..haha

[manuger]

Last Friday I went to test drive a 2008 530i here in Lima Peru and I played with the famous I-Drive. It only took me a couple of minutes to understand it and modify almost everything I found without the use of any driver's manual guide or any kind of aid. This device is quite easy and idiot proof, this is a good brain exercise. If you can't figure it out, then most likely you belong in the idiotic level.

[columbuscrewfan20]

The only thing I hate bout this car is the IDrive Nav,I like old fashion touch screen. Beside that awesome car.

[skyline4523]

Maybe I'm stupid, but i believe that the Audi 6 is a better car all around. The Audi's styling is much more appealing to me, also the interior is the best! Infiniti's car is better also dollar for dollar! but that is just my opinion!

[djkasdjkasdjdjdj]

i salute BMW of how they Still make RWD cars while others manufacturer make FWD due to cut production cost!!!

[YunqPriince14]

I love the bMW 5 series. I love all BMW cars. How does KBB afford all of these cars.? Are they rentals?

[luxeden]

I wouldnt take a BMW for free,, once I tried a toyota camry  : they are the best!!,, all japanese are reliable cars!!

[myuzz]

@luxeden lmao @ u

[luxeden]

@myuzz I have my reasons : I had a BMW which kept me most of the time at the garage!

[davidthejew1]

@fuo213 Or maybe a person enjoys the heritage coming from a BMW, the performance, and all of it's features? This coming from a person who has owned a BMW and knows many things about cars. You cannot say they are a piece of crap, they are good cars. Personally, I don't like them as much. That's why my family traded ours in. I prefer Lexus, Jaguar, Hyundai, etc. Even Audi's I prefer to BMW. But to say that 5-series is a piece of crap is straight up ignorance, because it is indeed a very good car.

[xbox360gamer131]

the 5-series is awesome, not a 'piece of crap'. Just because you think that Audi is better doesn't make the BMW a bad car! You're pretty retarded if you think the BMW 5-series are bad cars, that's completely pathetic, idiotic, and a sign of a true faggot. Be S-M-A-R-T, and actually be reasonable when stating an opinion.

[EngleSackJus]

BMWs in general are too common nowadays. Everybody owns them

[jalclk1244]

Get a Genesis V8 Tau with almost 400 HP and pay 20,000 less...LOL

[Jamzkangster]

@jalclk1244

that would be an option, definitely but even as good as the Genesis is, it doesn't even come close to the 5 series handling or build quality.

Actually, nothing in its class really does, except maybe the new A5/6 but Audi still feels about 5 years behind BMW.

20Km more is really justified when talking about the 5 series.

[tohoist]

@Jamzkangster BMW fanboy

[Jamzkangster]

@tohoist Not really considering I don't even drive a BMW but an Acura! I know poor me :[ Wish I had a BMW.

I like Genesis too and would definitely choose that if the prices were closer to my TSX price.

[DtorBill]

@Jamzkangster Oh... I pity you my friend ;) See you

[Jamzkangster]

@DtorBill haha pathetic loser, following me around! Got nothing better to do right, mental deficiency person?!

[DtorBill]

@Jamzkangster Man, pathetic loser, go to see your comments around youtube, they make not sense at all... do you know what's a car? I doubt it poor pathetic loser. Go to buy a friend instead writing no sense.

[lionjklwlf]

Chris Bangle looks like a genius now with this design a lot of people trashed a few years ago, now is industry standard.

[swtchmati]

uffff

[3x0rcyst3m]

omfg this reviewer is retarded.

HOW THE FUCK DONT YOU UNDERSTAND IDRIVE>??

It's easy as fuck to use, it was designed by germans after all!

I guess he was expecting some OnStar bullshit where hes too fucking retarded to read a manual, so he pushes a button and has someone walk him through step by step like a fucking handicapped 12 year old.

[kompleti]

300 c is a solid competitor since 2004

[MrJackanthony]

The only thing I don't like about mercedes benz is the stand up badge. I like the embedded version better lol. Other than that Germans rule the car world provided you pay what they ask for first.

[lovinitson]

BMW have free service

[garoiscool]

It's funny that most people compare BMW with Lexus, when really Lexus was introduced to compete with Mercedes as a luxury brand.

But now, with this new F Division, Lexus is trying to take a piece of BMW's crown as a performance automaker.

If you ask me, I sure like 'M's on my car than 'F's.

:D

[awesomesoccerfan]

My uncle has it,the same color!

[cartmankk2]

fuck i love the 5

[bastardsen]

oh yeah, I like this BMW. aggressive at the front - that looks nice; not like the new one... more like a 7series

[LambdaQuarks]

Isn't the infiniti at its best option have only 325hp? that is kind of lame also. Your gonna lose to a G35 Sedan lol.

[lilshane93]

I know 3 people who own/owned a 5 series. 2 of which no longer have them. 1 friend had a 2001 530i, another a 2000 528i, and another a 2006 525. The older ones were good cars but they werent too exciting. and over the past year or so they were begining to have some problems so they sold them. Now, 1 has a Jeep Cherokee and the other a Chevy Suburban. My friend with the 525 still has his and its a really fun car. But Im still undecided whether i like the 5 series or the Infiniti M more though.

[LambdaQuarks]

No manual for the infiniti though.  So it is out for me.

[Trabzonlu84]

@lilshane93 first i was like you but after getting my 328i there is no way back for me bmw is the way to go if you really like to drive

[acuratlnigga]

well its very expensive to maintain. and german cars are known for simple problems which cost alot of money. electrical problems mainly. have you considered lexus or acura?

[lilshane93]

Yeah, thats another thing... You have to dig deep into your pockets to fix minor things. And i'm not so sure about Lexus because i dont want the gas pedal getting stuck. haha. And Acura is ok. Not as entertaining to drive I think. but thats just me, Its still enjoyable tho. I drive my friends MDX around a lot but I havnt got a chance to drive any of the cars so I don't want to make any conclusions just yet.

[maheshcx]

the idrive system isnt even that hard.. and it save a lot of buttons on the dash

[bkvintagecorp]

i would still take the infiniti m over all in the class

[uberenthusiasts]

If idiots still have not understood iDrive after 7 years, Americans are dumber than I thought.

[gb10100]

@uberenthusiasts fuckin unpatrioic cock sucker. Im not even american (canadian) and i can tell you are a fucking liberal spolied shit. Go to where i used to live (Russia) see how much fuckin freedom and pleasure you get there. Oh course, watch out for the KGB taking out people who dont listen to the government. Fucking faggit

[uberenthusiasts]

LOL

[acuratlnigga]

Canada is the best country in the world. Filled with different cultures and colors, tastey food from different countries.

I got a question is the mercedes c300 in the same class as the bmw 530i?

[SagiProductions2009]

No it isn't. The 530i competes with the E320...

[andreasrossevold]

@acuratlnigga The Mercedes C300 is considered in the same class as the BMW 3-series (where Audi A4 traditionally is to be found as well)

[quatlen]

Your not even thinking about this logicilly. People who buy a BMW with idrive probably learned how to use it after a few hours or minutes. It is people who review cars say the Idrive is hard to use. Plus fifth gear and Top gear of the UK also claim it is a bad system. it is difficult to use if you've ever tried it, the new generation isn't bad though.

[gb10100]

@uberenthusiasts lol, americans arent the only people that use youtube my WoW playing friend (WoW is for fags btw)

[ScientistSoundSytem]

@uberenthusiasts lmao, IKR. I figured it one in 10 mins during a test drive. Its not that hard. But its yanks we are talking about so........lol

[soccervms101]

i like benz better but this is still a hell of a car

[ahasan27]

TheHaos1 what kind of car do u have? lemme guess one of those cheap Japanese semi luxury cars right? dude if u wanna talk about ppl driving beamers r snobs... u shud try driving one.. if u can afford one that is.. its truly very fun o and all thos lexus drivers and infinitis.. are u seriously complaining?

[TheHaos1]

Uhhh...90% of the ppl that own a BMW will be like : "Oh look...! a red light,no matter i'll just head on,i've got a BMW,no police will stop me...because i have a BMW !" i'm sick of that,although it is a really good car,but the ppl that are buying it...just mak me hate the car.

[gxxr1130]

What would give you that idea? Cops would be more likely to pull you over because they know you have money to pay for the ticket, but I doubt they care which car runs a red light. Speeding might be a different story.

[uzaer83]

you are so wrong there dude. cops pull you over more often when you drive a bmw..

the only ppl who write these sort of comments are the ones who never drove it as simple as that

[lexusfanla]

ha.....my aunt used to have this and gave them headache...a bmw that gives off lots of problem

[MrGermancarlover]

/lexusfanla yo name just tell the story .

[Jamzkangster]

Coming from a Lexus IS250 owner...I traded my car in for the 550i, man....TOTAL DIFFERENCE.

I actually get excited to do errands and drive to work!!!! The drive between the two are totally different, and I've test driven the Is350 as well, but my 550i blows it out of the water in terms of handling and chassis balance.

The only thing getting hard use to is the ultra senstive brakes...I mean on a scale of 1-10, the brakes are are probably a solid 9.

[SuperMoh1990]

hey guys well i have a bmw 5 series it is 2009 and i just bought it like in march and it is awesome and the i drive trust me it is just getting used to.

[semigotbanned]

I have to admit, this BMW design has been stolen by almost everybody LOL

[libetta]

i'm suing the Accord's head designer

[djkasdjkasdjdjdj]

@semigotbanned for example: honda accord

[quatlen]

The bangle ass annoys me but its a drivers car. @!!! :)

[tven99]

BMW Sheer driving pleasure. !

[Gator115]

This car is fresh...just purchased one

[Spaceghost272]

Im a Lexus fan but I have to admit, these Bmw are bloody sick. Might get a 5 or 7 series because I have a baby on the way and need a bigger car. What do guys think about the X5? Should I get a 5,7, or X5 Series? Any input is appreciated. Try to enlighten me on European reliability. Ive always had Japanese but slowly falling in love with Bmw...

[CefiroGuy3]

Germans make the best cars in the world! BMW in particular are known for their high performance outputs throughout their range>

if you have have enough $ for the 5 or 7 series I'd recommend you choose it over the X3/5/6.

I've driven all the Xs, my opinion is that they aren't bad, its just that the driving experience is different from the sedans

you say u have a baby on the way>Don't buy the ///M5 or else your child will turn out to be an insane petrol head. lol!

[tven99]

its not just performance its also build quality!

[CefiroGuy3]

Well once its german, everyone knows its pretty much standard

[willdi5]

My friend, Spaceghost272, be ready to pay more for everything. Also, you will miss the Lexus service. European reliability? A lot to be desired still. More than basic visits for service. No comparison unless you are a racing fanatic. Then, leave your children home and go for it.

[hbplaya]

Pay more for what?

You pay more by buying a Lexus.

You don't put your hand in your pocket for anything for BMW for 4 years 50k miles.

BTW. I own a Rx400h and a 335i, and now just ordered a 535i.

Go drive a bmw because it's not what you think.

I started out with a RX400h, went for a IS350 but then once I drove the 335i, I said "screw the is350".

GO DRIVE IT.

That's the best advice I can give you.

[bmw4lfe]

@Spaceghost272 Get the BMW X5 because the 5 & 7 series are more for business and the X5 is more for family believe me you will enjoy BMW i have a garage and it has like 10 BMWs cause they are such great cars good luck!

PS: Lexus is for old people

[sher0777]

BMW is the best!!!! So stylish. benz is cute but doesn't have stayle.

[Villxe]

BMW or Bentz every day at week. These cars are far bettre than the japanese, i would never buy a japanese car.

[Villxe]

Benz*

[digitalrebelxti]

I own Infiniti I35 my friend.... i can recomend the Infiniti brand to you...

[Nissan350zFan1]

the BMW 5 series is one of the best looking cars IMHO :-)

[melbon11]

Bmw is the best. The 550 is a fine machine

[BabkenBMW]

When you sit behind the wheel of BMW, you won't even wish to buy a car of a different brand.

BMW IS THE KING!

KING, LIVE FOREVER!

[ryantwilight]

i love bmw, dont get me wrong, but i like mercedes-benz because it offers a more comfy ride:) and my mom wants this car, but im telling her that she should get the mercedes.....lol

[gamingfan1989]

Most BMW's are build for sport. However 7 series are full sized luxury sedans (that still control like a 5 series :D)

Mercedes have been known to break down under trivial condition, requiring costly repair.

I know people who have had BMW's way past 250,000 miles and they still work as good as the day they got it.

[ryantwilight]

ya, any car is capable to go past 250,000, but the fact that the mercedes is comfy has nothing to do with them breaking down, LOL

[quatlen]

The new Eclass w212 dominates this.

[bewd6797]

a6 is better

[quatlen]

Its a matter of opionion but i saw two new a6's and they're arguably the best looking in their class but the e-class is simply better.

[bewd6797]

It is a matter of opinion your right about that.

[MrSkip16]

what about the top of line bmw v10 w 200 mph top speed and 500 bhp stock?

[JJackson00]

300hp 300 lb ft torque 0-60 in 5.5 seconds .1 second slower in the Automatic epa 25 hwy! for the 535i

[austinm12234]

FINALLY....thank you

[xxMafia101]

Geez. Someones a little pissy.

[austinm12234]

hahaha

[Atoweha]

does anyone know where kbb drive for their reviews?

[kbb]

We film in Orange, CA.

[djkasdjkasdjdjdj]

hey, u just reply to someones comment

?!?!?!

[Blackcamaro619]

20s wouldnt fit with low profile tires?

[Blackcamaro619]

Can anybody tell me what the biggest rims size you can put on this 5 series without it rubbing

[KPKonliner]

19 maybe ? or 18

[tazzcaaarlovr]

sexy car!

[djkasdjkasdjdjdj]

man, this car looks so nice! my aunt have the 530i, i can't stop starring at it!!

[KPKonliner]

i dont understand BMW's design language,can u explain it ?

[djkasdjkasdjdjdj]

well, bmw's design r known for its high depreciation, some people judge it as a good thing and some people think its bad, and boring.. some said when people take a look at it they want to get behind the wheel.. so i think bmw design is for driving pleasure..

[KPKonliner]

In Indonesia,they still sell da old models

[djkasdjkasdjdjdj]

really, it doesn't look different in the preview??

[Trabzonlu84]

why?

[KPKonliner]

wish they sell BMWs without i drive,it can become more affordable.

[Trabzonlu84]

they do

[apollo311]

looks cool form the front, ugly and boring from behind

[bhowards007]

i think the oposite

[MrGermancarlover]

BMW IS DA BOOM FUCK LEXUS

[lmk608]

Otherwise, if you know what is JD power, you can go check its website. What I know is that BMW is continually under the average quality level. Last year, BMW is ranked 23 on the list, while Mercedes is 6.

[lmk608]

According to the BMW's financial report, you will see that BMW has lower total revenue than Mercedes. However, BMW makes way more profit than Merc. It indicates that BMW has lower cost of goods sold but sells vehicles at high price level. If you think that kind of car is the best, well..... good for you.

[austinandrew11]

mercedes is better

[KPKonliner]

agree.

[krasss7]

bmw is the top

[KPKonliner]

I dont understand bout BMW's deisgn langauge.Anyone can explain it to me ?

[bhowards007]

me too... thats why i prefer audi's aerodynamic style

[KPKonliner]

uh..i think bmw is more aerodynamic

[bhowards007]

look at the angles of the roof and the trunk of the a6 and maybe you'll get the point

[1256robert]

go bmw

[KPKonliner]

i heard bout da tyre probs from 5 series owners

[ABIkosova]

BMW IS THE BEST

[KPKonliner]

not really.Depends on the model.

[pornkingdingaling]

only things he has had to do over the years is wear and tear items, like, break disks pads, and of corse servicing. oh and suspension all new 2 years ago, springs shocks bushes. body still looks new paint still shiny not really faded. and he aint a car fan, just looks after em how a machine shud be lookd after, wen it costs him more money to repair he will get rid, but it is turning out to be the best investment ever, had his money worth anyway.

[pornkingdingaling]

im in the uk, so bmw comes straight from munich germany, i currently have the e39 models, a e39 530, also m5. both great cars, 530 is now 7 years old, not a squeek or rattle from anywere, only thing i had to replace is air flow sensor. so the comment on electronics transmission,engine AC, is not true, well not in my exprience of owning bmw for the last 10 years. my dad has still got his bmw from new, a e36 318i, it has now coverd 375000 miles its on a 1993 plate. he never had any problems,

[jangkimtyler]

wagan looks real niceeeee

[youmils03]

Standard features include air conditioning w/dual-zone climate controls, cruise control, power tilt/telescopic leather-wrapped steering wheel w/radio controls, interior air filter, 10-way power front seats, power front headrests, memory system, cooled compartment, and power sunroof.

[iphoneman101]

BMW is way better then mercedes..Thats why it's the ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE!!!

[KPKonliner]

which is better ? E class or BMW 5 ?

[ghlibisk]

BMW is best in segment. 550i FTW

[ElDude009]

Where I live everyone has a BMW 5 series..kinda ridiculous so it's better to have an E class to be different, same goes for all BMWs here considering that almost everybody has one.

[youmils03]

Standard features include air conditioning w/dual-zone climate controls, cruise control, power tilt/telescopic leather-wrapped steering wheel w/radio controls, interior air filter, 10-way power front seats, power front headrests, memory system, cooled compartment, memory system, and power sunroof.

Optinos include a navigation system w/voice recognition, upgraded sound system, leather upholstery, heated front seats, 18-way power driver seat, 14-way power passenger seat, and UGDO. Up to $58,000.

[R0cco9818]

if i were buying a 5seiries i would buy i 550 i but in 13 soooooooooooo i cant

[terrorhunters]

Toyota Camry for me. Dependable, comfortable and a good resale value after 5 years. + more potential buyers. Buy this car (BMW) if you want to keep this for 10-20 years.

[EuroSport2006]

The 5-Series competes with the GS460 which it beats and not the Camry. It also out sells and out performs it too.

[epinjose]

keep it for a long time, and you'll find a lot of problems after 5+ years.. electronics, transmission, engine, AC, and even plastic stuffs starts to break.. I faced all in my 3.

[KPKonliner]

any other probs ? thanx for being honest

[hipvspec]

i am sorry, but i think comparing cars at the youtube comment section is just pointless and juvenile.

[mb600luvr25]

btw, im 12 so i dont drive and your still driving a toyota...

[mb600luvr25]

honestly, any infiniti, acura, and lexus drivers...your really driving a nissan, honda, and toyota with an up-scale brand name and a ridiculous price for a japanese car...even auti...A VOLKSWAGEN! My dad has the e350 4matic and i think that all the other competitors can simply not compete...the 5 can...

sorry to say that...it may uppset you but its the truth...

[kidracerx]

yea your father drives a e350 what u driving? i drive a lexus GX470 and would never trade it in for any merc or bmw. The reliability rate on japanese cars are better then german cars.

[mb600luvr25]

yeah what funny is that i am in favor of lexus...ive always liked them...but i do prefer the german engines instead of the wimpy jappinese cars...but i think the gx470 has a 5.7 liter V8...idk

[BudleighSaltertonBoy]

Actually I drive a Jaguar. And I was just stating a fact, I didn't mean to diss Mercedes or anything it is just the truth

[BudleighSaltertonBoy]

Yeah but in case you arn't up to date in 1989 Mercedes decided to save money by cutting corners and that meant that their quality has been suffering in the past 20 years. Their quality may be improving but they are still not up to what it used to be. And Mercedes with all the money they have cant seem to squeeze that much horsepower from their engines. Like the 5.4 litre V8 in the S-class only has like 350 bhp. Where as others can get that from a much smaller engine. Bmw did that with a 3.2.

[merzouki]

fiat palio is better

[itsTiLER]

audi drivers are cocks.

according to top gear

[mazinais31]

i drive a passat myself and i love it,

but give me this anytime... if i could afford it i'd drive it, almost anything else on the market besides audis and a very few others is giving me a headache just by looking at em

[amer1cancer2753]

I never did like the BMW 5 Series mainly because of those monstrosities they call headlights. My opinion the Infiniti M45 is way better but that is just me.

[chubbydwk331]

prefer audi...

bmw drivers are crazy...

[qsc324]

audi drivers are boring...benz drivers are classy

[fp3shb]

I love reading all the Bmw Fan boy comments, you can easily tell who is who.

[youmils03]

Better than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class

Tying with the Lexus GS

Tying with the Acura RL

Tying with the Cadillac STS

Worse than the Audi A6

Worse than the Infiniti M

Worse than the Jaguar XK

[8MunchenBayern8]

what? this is your retarded opinion...jags are unrealiable...VER VERY unreliabe, infiniti is miles behind BMW, and audi is basically the same as lexus...so stfu

[youmils03]

retard

[quatlen]

the reason you buy a BMW is the ride and handling and its best in class, and the jaguar xk doesn't even compete with the 5-series..

and trying with Acura RL and Cadillac STS?, have you been in those cars or seen there sales numbers there horrible cars.
