A new depreciation king has arrived!
Yep. I wouldn't like to see the prices after say a year or 18 months time. A boulder in a swimming pool style!
This will be a lease only car.
Heck even the G3X 5 series cars go for sub 20k dollar range used, not even the base 530i
They are way too rare to depreciate a lot because now one is buying them rn. Trust me.
With a 250/299 mile range it makes me wonder what the actual range will be on a cold day after the lease period ends.
I've never seen Doug wearing long pants
he usually likes to show off those sexy legs of his
Global warming…
I didn't think he's owned a pair since he moved to SoCal
Some of us are here for those pretty thighs, he knows.
Maybe he's finally getting the fkn hint
This BMW I5's camera system has given us the best tour of the Cars&Bids Headquarters - the only one I think we've ever had!
BMW i7 XDRIVE60 got a little better spec compared to i5 EDRIVE40.
Doug is the type of guy who says that the car doesn't have a sport mode, but when he opens the menu, the same sport mode greets us
That opening startup sound sounds a lot like Macintosh computers when they power up 🤔🤔
Doug is the type of guy to own every Apple product from the mid 90s to now
Well they are looking to make their products be subscription based and with planned obsolescence so it stands to reason bimmer would try and get consumers to identify with it like it's their i5. I mean iPhone.
@@AdamG1983 Bruh
@@ruvindap66also sounded like Windows 98 booting up.
If it wasn’t for the logo and kidney grill I probably wouldn’t recognize this car as a bmw at all
Strange fact 🏅
Looks like a Nissan from behind
Well that is true for every car ever isn’t it? Like pick an old e-type and remove the badge, it could honestly be from any luxurious and sporty brand in the 60’s
“If this car didn’t have its two most iconic and defining traits, I wouldn’t recognize it at all”
Looks like a Polestar 2 kinda which is not a good thing.
The most interesting part about this video is the Lucid Air Dream Edition selling for $87,000. That’s half price from 2 years ago!! I believe Doug needs to adjust the Value in its dougscore making it the new champion!
it needs to be zero, Lucid won't make it out of 2024
@@philipkoekemoer4705or even January 2025.
The BMW I5 is here! Not great, not good, not awesome, not the best, not bad, not awful, but here! Reminds of Christopher Hitchens beginning his lectures with: "Of all the introductions of myself that I heard, this is certainly the most recent!".
certainly not as good as a model s. even the "high performance" i5 m60 is worse at being a performance car than the model s dual motor, with FAR less range, practicality, and reliability to boot, while being more expensive. or you could spend $5k more and get a plaid.
this cars only real market seems to be for old people and bmw stans. i really dont see who else this car is for, its only better in 1 way and even that is counteracted by poor longevity and reliability which bmws are famous for, specifically electrical issues... and this car is literally all electrotonics.
it doesnt even have design going for it against the model s. just quality interior, which im sure will be worth it when everything starts breaking.
BMW i5 in terms of handling looked quite rough like the Chrysler Crossfire.
@@user-rm7kb3il6x Well I would stay rather drive an BMW than an Tesla. Sorry. I just prefer having an BMW badge.
@@_carfreak_2812You sound a little superficial.
Front :BMW
Side:Honda Accord
Back:Mercedes CLA
Bad combo
Front looks like cheap chinese copy of BMW. Side is just ugly. Back looks like if Camry and Accord had a child
Hotel: Trivago
I would say it looks like older generation of Nissan Altima.
Overall bad.. remember angel eyes early 2000s m5... 😢
Kudos for testing the standard version and not the M 👍🏻
Not that he could anyway because it isn’t out yet? 😂
@@Wg323? i5 M60
In Europe its out for quiet a while and it MOVES!
But I agree with Paul.
Plaid faster @@hdyby4l930
@@hdyby4l930What? Its not out dude
I drive the bmw i5 M60. I agree with everything you said Doug. I’m 6’7 I have plenty of room, car seat fits easily in there. I came from a ford bronco Wildtrak backseat space was so limited. Also this BMW drives so well on the road takes bumps well and that M60 is a beast speed wise
Probably the best review I've seen in an age, thanks for the insight.
I like how turning the hazards on makes the mood lighting go into "red alert" mode, fulfilling every Trekkie's dream.
How long until they hack in the klaxon as well? 😂
What's trekkie
Is made for effect, but surely annoying after five minutes... in night it must feel like pure stupidity
@@jonrichcorpuz2380 Star Trek fan.
@@scaramaxxxI agree. When you turn on the hazard lights, by definition you're _not_ going to be in a good mood .
The G30 was design perfection. So naturally BMW thought, "we have to make it ugly like the rest of our new cars" and thus the G60 was born!
I still think that the F10 was the best looking one
U say that but bmw has skyrocketed in sales since their new gen of cars. The new m3 and m4 g8x models have sold TRIPLE the amount per year then their old f8x models. I actually love this design it looks like a big bulky bmw muscle car. The m5 will look insane. It definitly has presence. If someone wants the more gentleman's m5 they will get the previous gen and if they want this one they'll get that. Better then having the same exact design every single year. Actually a good marketing strategy
@@user-my4xu4gf1z Trashy people gravitate to trashy looking cars, hence the sales increase!
Yawn. It's all I ever read in most car comment sections. People thinking a particular model design or generation is somehow perfection and complain endlessly about the new stuff. I prefer all the new designs. Time moves on. Oh and the people that complain about the screens and increasing tech bore me to death too.
'design perfection'? really? maybe if you'd see no other cars.
Doug is the type of guy that reviews car trims for the masses.
I saw one of these today. It's huge. It has a backup beeper because it's the size of a truck!
As someone who came of age in the E39 era, there’s very little about this that feels like a BMW to me. It just seems so far removed from what I have in mind when I think of BMW.
Heavy and hideous. Why bother?
Agree. I found it interesting that Doug was so accepting of this car to not feel like a BMW. What is the point of buying a BMW if it does not feel like it? Then you could rather buy some other random electric sedan or even a crossover. They might sell a few of these, but the appeal of the brand is rapidly descending with each car like this.
100%
E38, E39 and E46 were peak BMW styling, and it has gone sharply downhill from there. The passage of time has not, and will not, change my mind.
Nice way of saying it’s an ugly POS. And I agree.
Last gen was nice from the get go.
Even BMW Z8 2003 also is nice.
The G30 and the E39 were the best. Not just design but everything else.
Harry from Harry’s garage had a very interesting review on this particular car. I am sure Doug enjoyed it, as a big fan of him.
10:23 My Second-gen Volvo S60 from 2013 has those "boxes" feature on the reversing camera.
True, the reversing camera was an optional extra back then.
Rest in peace to my favorite sedan ever
I mean, the 5 series is basically a thing of the past anyway with everybody switching to SUV's.
Rest in peace BMW as a whole
I agree....I think this whole pure EV thing for the German car makers is a fad...Shocked to see Porsche going that way too-- major dilution of their brand...Once they see their sales sink, they will have to pivot...German government is pulling EV subsidies this year, EV sales are tanking... As an example Audi E-tron sales are 60-70% down this year, the consumer feedback on these is pretty stark....
@@stephans1990 even worse, SUVs are just sedans/hatchbacks but bigger, less efficient, etc...
@@ift7628there's ban on ICE cars since 2035. All manufacturers will move exclusively to EVs. Theres no hope
It boggles the mind that there's no front trunk in this thing. They've got an engine bay the size of a swimming pool but they can't even find the space to fit the charge cables under there. Just a complete lack of ambition in the packaging department.
Im guessing it’s because most of these cars are built on an ice vehicle frame first and adapted for EV! That’s why range and power isn’t as crazy as teslas because teslas are built from the ground up to be an ev so they could space things correctly most of these are retrofitted from an ice architecture!
The problem is that BMW decided to go the route of a basic chassis for each series that can accommodate either an ICE power train or an electric powertrain. That necessarily means compromising both types of models.
The edrive versions of the i4 have enough space for an aftermarket front trunk (no front motor.) I imagine the same will be true of the edrive i5 models.
the engine bay in bmw’s electric cars are all filled with electrical components
As someone who owns an i3, I find it super amusing. The i3 is 3 feet shorter than this i5 and still has a frunk. Goes to show the importance of designing an EV to actually be an EV.
Not offering AWD on the base model of the electric model is a big mistake. Lots of potential buyers for this car live in areas that get terrible weather and an AWD model that sits between the 40 and the 60 would sell pretty well, especially in NY, Northern CA, MA, Washington State, etc. Almost all of this cars competitors offer AWD without requiring customers to purchase the top performance model too.
I suspect BMW will soon release an AWD i5 xDrive40 as they have with the i4.
Love the way they look and the size
4:39 the opening the door sound and the starting up sound are like the sounds Microsoft Windows used to make 2 decades ago.
This is not a complaint. I dearly miss those versions of Windows.
Thats exactly what I thought, but I think it is from a Mac computer, not Windows.
I hope it makes the same bong sound when something goes wrong too . . .
@@Rover200Powerwhy the cars sounds looked quite the same?
@@Rover200Power Blue screen of literal death.
@@pileofwit Car.exe has encountered a fatal error and will shut down.
I kinda wish Doug would still review in church car parks and stuff
I'd like Doug to review a church. He did houses before, so that's not too far off I guess 😂
Yup, grey car on grey background.
I got excited in the beginning, then..... the depressing concrete bunker!
Agreed. The echo chamber that is that garage is so bad for audio.
@@djejnyc It would probably get better if he'd invested in white background and some HQ lighting, maybe hexagon one that some detailing studios have. It would make car body lines more visible.
That carwash camera mode is great. I have the same on my i4, and I do use it every time I go to the car wash.
From The Ultimate Driving Machine to the Ultimate Leasing Machine.
This comment hits hard!
Ultimate Leasing Cars? Thats nice.😊😅
It's not ugly...it just has an economy car vibe
Eyes.exe has crashed.
This is probably the first BMW that's less attractive than Honda's entire lineup.
Ur opinion will change when u see one blacked out with aftermarket rims
The BMW characteristic Hoffmeister kink is now butchered beyond recognition and the 5-series seem to have lost it’s luxury performance feel and is looking cheap to the point it could be confused with the 3-series.
That greenhouse now reminds me of the Corolla sedan. Nothing about this car indicates luxury or sportiness.
@@paulcarmi8130I would be embarrassed to be seen in one of these I think it's the headlights that bugs me the most
Doug is leveling up, he started doing reviews sitting on his knees next to a car and now he levelled up to a chair. In a few years from now we'll be getting reviews from a reclining chair. ;)
That's because every review he used to lean on the car's paint, and every time I would scold him about it. He even leaned on the Singer, what a troglodyte.
He's getting older. Getting up from kneeling position might be another problem 😅
@@cheemomugdoo799i5 should've been painted yellow.
'In a few more years from now we'll be getting reviews from-his wheelchair--!
I am a software engineer in mid 30s and I find all this tech and screens too much. I like having cruise control, navigation, Spotify and backup camera, but this situation with big screens everywhere, no physical controls and lights everywhere just seems distracting and unnecessary.
Cars are not iPads. They need physical switchgear. Watch as BMW moves back to traditional interiors in the future.
@@Biosynchro Tbh, I stopped enjoying modern car reviews. It looks more like a review of mobile phones or tablets, rather than a review of a vehicle.
I work for bmw and I drive these cars everyday, yet I’m still watching Doug’s video on it because I love his reviews that much.
How’s the reliability of bmw in general? I hear things but ya never know. Would love to hear your opinion.
I love that the A class is still in the bunker..he’s a month ahead on videos
A160 Avantgarde you mean?😅
Doug the kind of guy to knock on your door and asks how your refrigerator is running.
But out of genuine concern - he's not even doing it as a prank.
Food poisoning is no joke to Doug.
And when you say yes he says “well you better go catch it!”
He always sees can he fit in fridge
Hey Doug, just a friendly suggestion, but could you think about putting sound-deadening material on the walls to reduce the hall in the sound.
That would be a great upgrade for the new filming location. ❤️
Thanks Doug
Doug is the kind of guy who says enthusiesty, twice, like it's a real word.
First impression: The i5 has the presence of a Toyota Crown sedan.
And, according to Doug’s assessment, you can pay a premium price for a prestige brand and enjoy the same type of competent but unremarkable experience delivered by a mid-level Honda Accord .
This car is so lame
That's a real car though.
I was gonna say the outside of this car feels like a modern accord (if you ignore the front grill) and the interior is beyond quirky. This seems like a really weird car, I feel like a lot of its quirks / controls and everyday use stuff would get annoying or repetitive REAL quick. I think there are some neat ideas but the execution feels awful.
I doubt it
@@johnkrull7323why the car is lame btw? I thought it isnt lame.
My BMW dealer said the black center headrest was designed that way to blend better with rear deck lid less reflection allowing better visibility out the rear window.
Beautiful car and great review
I like the back up beeper its cool
Put Intel logo sticker right before the i5 badge on the trunk
I leased the B58 gas version 540i with MSport. I think it’s pretty awesome
The welcome sound is like an orchestral reimagination of the good old mac startup chime
BMW + all electric... what could go wrong?!?!?
they are still way behind in techonolgy compared to Tesla but at least it is more expensive.
It will still find a way to leak oil lol
Check engine light still comes on
Car Ninja looking at these cars like: Well, this model alone will fund my retirement.
@@slowery43 like what ?
bmw outdid themselves on this one. when you thought they couldnt ruin another car, they put out this
It's ironic that Cadillac is now eating BMW and Mercedes-Benz's lunch for sporty luxury cars. It used to be that Mercedes-Benzes and BMWs were known for their subtle design and solid driving experience while Cadillacs were big gaudy things you bought to be seen in. Now, Cadillac is the brand with the driver-focused chassis and restrained styling while M-B and BMW are making ugly, bloated cars. All Cadillac needs to do is improve their interiors to really be world-class.
dont have experience with caddis, as theyre not sold here in germany @@bwofficial1776
is possible to replace that screen with a Pioneer normal radio?
thanks doug
The 5 on the side of the car looks like the Sketchers S
Also the chime when you get in the car reminds me of an older pc booting up
Yea the old Mac PC. I thought it sounded like the PS2 startup
These sounds are cringe IMO, they're gonna feel so old and outdated in 10 years, like some early 2000s big aftermarket screens that people with no taste put into their cars
nice skoda
I'd buy a Škoda over this any day, even though I currently drive a BMW and usually hate VW products 😅
Dont act like Skoda didnt rip off BMWs design to begin with.
11:20 Doug is not sure where CarWash feature can be used , but is perfect when boarding the Channel train (UK -France) as it is quite tight there.
I like the calmer moderation style a lot.
Feeling optimistic about BMW EVs. BMW makes good electronics. My 5 series had 200k miles and every button worked, had no rust and rode like a dream. It just had a lot of oil leaks. This car has no oil and less coolant, so it might be reliable. I might buy one of these.
which generation is your 5 series?
Oil leaks sounds like a huge concern. Oil loss can cause engine failure. Did BMW repair the oil leaks within warranty?
Plus BMW have been selling EVs for more than a decade, so it's not their first rodeo
It was a 2007. I fixed all the leaks, but it burned maybe 1 quart per month. It needed all 4 02 sensors (probably due to the burned oil) tires and I hated the stereo so i traded it for an Explorer Sport so my kids would fit. I got like 3k for it cause it was in great cosmetic condition. It was a fantastic car though. I miss it a little bit. Awesome on a windy Pennsylvania backroad.
@@dgw4049 That's very fortunate, glad you had a good experience. The E60 generation is infamous for its electronics
I'm surprised Intel isn't upset with the i5 nomenclature
Didn't think about that. I guess the products are so different they didn't mind.
They need the exposure more then ever
I remember when Ford was against Ferrari naming their F-1 racing card F150.
Ah yes, I always get confused when I go the the BMW dealership looking for a processor and end up leaving with a luxury sedan
Intel just dropped the i branding. Now its called core ultra 5
Thank you for the metric units
Delivery for mine in September! Whoot whoot!!!
Highly recommend Harry’s Garage review on the i5.
He was very disappointed with it!!
I was thinking that all the way through this, he tore it apart.
Upvote. Harrys video is great. The sequence with the car modes is very funny
Yep. Seen it. He wasn't impressed at all!
Ohh yea I remember the first video I watched from Harry is the Renault Clio Sport V6 from 4 years ago. I gotta say.. He has a very good perspectives on cars!!
He's an old rich bore!!! His criticisms sound like something you'd hear from the comments section on Jalopnik.
It's hard to outdo the previous gen G30 in terms of styling. Designs like that just have a timeless, signature look to them that defines a brand and makes it hard to deviate from. Especially the m550i with the more aggressive front bumper. I hope this 8th gen is a stepping stone to something great in the future. Also, those prices. No longer best bang for your buck.
I have a 2018 plug in m sport trim n i still stare at it 6 years later like i always did. Some of the options i have aren’t even available anymore which is depressing
Cool you like the car. I have the car for a couple months now and really like it a lot.
will you ever review the cybertruck just curious not a fan but love your videos!!!
I've already seen the new 5 series in person and this thing is huge. Cars have gotten way too big now.
So have the butts sitting in said cars
You from the uk too? The five series does look massive here now but that’s because they have made a world car rather than one for Europe and what looks huge here is really just an average sized sedan in the USA. I agree that it’s looking too big for our roads though.
@@ruk2023-- I'm in the United States, and I still think this is huge.
I’ve seen also, super ugly
A bit too minimalistic. I still prefer traditional buttons. They provide a different tangible experience.
Agreed on the looks
Looks great! Seems great!
this is the most futuristic car interior i have ever seen
this makes me think of the vehicles in Bladerunner 2049
It gives you a MacBook startup sound when you get in?
This is exactly what I want. Super comfortable ride.
Please review the I7. I sat one today at the Dallas auto show that car is wicked. It has so many corks. It’s unbelievable.
Stop kids from saying first please
Agreed
First
First
Last
Says the mam that came in third
The car looks massive with you sitting behind it.
It's longer than a Toyota Highlander. It's a big boat
I cannot wait to get my hands on this vehicle.
Doug is the GOAT of reviewing cars!
Base model ICE is going to be a great buy in 18 months
Can we please return back to the outdoors reviewing? made the videos much better
Agreed, this concrete sea feels kinda weird
Hey Doug - I like your video and I agree with the score that you gave the i5, but there are a few important things that I want you and others to be aware of when buying a 2024 5 - Series (incl. i5 and gasoline models):
1. iDrive 8/8.5 is *ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE* ; the controls for the self-driving feature (Driver Assistance Professional) are no longer on the steering wheel, they are now buried within the iDrive system! I find myself having to take my eyes off the road to adjust things like the cruise control distance! I've also noticed that some of the features/options/settings in iDrive 8 and 8.5 seems to vary between models (For example - The purple colored ambient lighting is not available in the 3/4 series, but it is available on the X1...??)
2. That Ambient Lighting bar, which is also called the "Interaction Bar with Ambient Lighting", is ONLY available (as of now) in the i5 and NOT in the gasoline 530i's! The 530i's will still have ambient lighting, but the design is both a joke and an insult and will come in the form of two lines -____-
2. You did mention that changing the driving modes will change the ambient lighting.... However in other models like the X7, there is a setting that will allow you to change driving modes without changing the ambient lighting color...??
3. For those of you who like to open/close your sunroof, I would highly suggest you *AVOID* any 5 series that has the *Sky Lounge* option or any 5 series that has the *Executive Package* , which will include the *Sky Lounge* option! Why? The Sky Lounge is basically a panoramic sunroof, but you CANNOT open/close the glass and it does not have LED's - all you can do is either let in a lot of sunlight or no sunlight at all; I find it useless as I would rather have the option to open/close the glass to let air in.
4. As of now, new i5 owners get 2 years of free charging via Electrify America (owned by Volkswagen btw); the only model that get 3 years of free charging is the i7
Besides the Ambient Lighting (on the 530i's) and that horrible iDrive 8/8.5 system, I think they did a good job on the 5!
Wow as for the moods...got make sure that you put your car in the good mood for a good day
Even though the design is imho a step back from the G30, I like the strategy where the ICE and EV’s have the same design. Mercedes should also do this instead of making those hideous EQ-serie cars.
While in for my 2023 540i's first service, I drove the M60 (M5 electric version). I loved it and went home to research it. 240 mile range under the best conditions is a NO SALE. I live in the midwest and that just wont work.
and anyone is supposed ot care why? You seem to think this is all about you, not a sole cares
lol dude....its a comment section, get a grip.@@slowery43
It's disappointing that with all the advances in battery tech, 240 miles is the best BMW could come up with, especially at that price. I'm no EV fan but there are several similarly priced EV sedans that destroy its range for the same money or less. You did a smart thing by keeping your 540i. 240 miles is a dealbreaker for me too when I can get double that out of my gas car and refuel in five minutes.
Can you review the model 3 refresh?
I thought the hazard lights had to be a physical button per regulation
13:50 has Doug grown taller again? 😂
Doug, the kind of guy to be still growing in his 30s.
When it's cold he shrinks to 6ft 3", when it's warmer he's going back to usual 6ft 4"🤣
No one: "Hey, how could we make the 5 Series depreciate even faster?"
BMW: "Let's make it electric!"
Fyi in case you're car shopping- the voice control in new BMWs is excellent and you can use it to change the climate settings without having to go into the screen. You can also use it to open the sunroof and windows
Wow! That's just like my 2005 Jaguar 🥹
14:51 the rear seats are a great idea, from a distance it gives the appearance of a 2 seater rear , wonderful design bmw.
14:04 better reference
Looks like an Accord
And a Camry.
Without any of the Honda Accord benefits haha
BMW didn’t succeed to amaze us with their new designs. Good work BMW🤝🤝
Most of the materials look cheap too
the new designs are failing
The color scheme is lovely!
Why not wait for the NACS charge connector?
Doug is the kind of guy that passes on a sterrato to jump in to the countach hype
Um...that was lame.
As much as I hate offroad cars, allroad-like cars and such stuff, Sterrato would be 1000x better choice than Countach. It's one of the last V10 Lamborghinis, it's unique for what it is, it's way more fun and reliable. It would be great daily driver.
Countach is cool but it's just old italian car that has been produced for over 25 years. It's not even last of a kind so it's not really anything special about it apart from crazy styling which I personally don't get. And it only goes up in value so it's scary driving it in traffic.
I had a brand new 2024 530i rental from sixt about three weeks ago. At first, I hated it. I accidentally turned on the overhead lights and had to go through 3 screens to turn them off. Once I figured out the basics, I was in love. This thing was great. It snowed in Maryland (where I was) and this xdrive was a blast!! Seriously thinking of trading in the Allroad for it.
I bought a three yr old 550 several years ago for a 60% discount from its MSRP. I can’t wait till this come around the used market.
What's with the exhaust cut outs?
The interior is definitely impressive. The fact that is longer than the older 7 is also a great change. Eventually 1 out of every 3 homes will have a EV. This will definitely make the value of the classic 5 series (V8,and V10) go up in value.
I have a 2016 550i 40k miles. I can’t wait for that thing to go up in value, I’m already getting crazy offers for it. I’ve taken care of it like a baby.
Doug! I’ve been waiting for you to make this video for a year! My husband and I were looking for an EV for a year now… searching and searching, test driving and test driving. Well we just started a build for the BMW I5! And low and behold you finally put this video out! I’m shocked. I thought you were gonna skip this car! And then we were iffy on the cape green color, so we went with red! Still happy with red but you reviewed the green so we might’ve picked it 😅
Why on earth would you wait for Doug De Muros opinion on a car? He basically knows nothing about them. There are so many more competent reviewers out there.
Watch the Harrys Garage video about this car. It's a pretty bad car.
@@MD-uu5nt compared to...?
5:59 Imagine hitting the hazard switch by accident and having that lightshow start.
Looks great imo
4:15 I wouldn’t be surprised if Hans Zimmer composed the revise beep-beep sound. At this rate I also wouldn’t be surprised if they release a BMW music album.
It sounds like the seatbelt warning sound in the i4, except it's being broadcast externally.
Sound design is not composing
Who wants to go to BMW's art gallery museum?
yes, i do believe all sounds in the new G60 are done by Zimmer.
I really love that Colour and am curious to see one in Person here on the Autobahn or parked somewhere, because in Person is always different than on Pictures on a Video
And as you said Doug, i'm 100% sure People will still complain because it's a BMW
Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps
Na in Berchtesgaden wirds net lang dauern, bis du einen sehen wirst. Die Dinger müssten ja schon zu Hunderten rumschwirren dort lol
Glaub mir, beim G30 konntest du das Ding aus jedem Blickwinkel anschauen und es war immer perfekt.
Beim G60 wirst du keinen Winkel finden wo du dir denkst: „Boah geil, was für ein Design!!“
Leider 😔
The changes on these cars coming along is amazing and it makes struggle to identify the cars now
The little problem I see here is: If you wanted to have a comfy cruiser, you'd go for a Merc. Now you can cruise here too but: The 5-Series always was a car which not only in the top model had some sportiness. Even a 520i E34, a 535i E39 or just the very first ones always - maybe were not all fast, but all had better handling than a merc and were more engaging to drive.
