      I detail for a BMW dealership and I haven't seen a 530i come with a trunk like that, so either that car somehow doesn't have a cover for the spare tire in the trunk, or I could also very well be misremembering because I have detailed all the different variants of the 5 series and they all just blend together in my head. Another possibility is that the spare tire is an added option for the 530i specifically, and that is why its so scuffed, however I do know at least certain trim levels of the new 5 series do have a spare tire underneath the trunk floor and it does not sacrifice trunk space at all.

    I’m so glad I bought two loaded up BMWs with the B58 and iDrive 7. I really think BMW reached near perfection with those. Physical climate buttons, 8 physical hot buttons, physical sport/comfort/eco/adaptive buttons, physical traction/stability control button, physical headlight buttons, dynamic cruise distance control buttons on the steering wheel, no huge list of apps in iDrive, and iDrive 7 is just easier to use but really not missing much functionality to later iDrive versions. Oh, and I even get an extra storage compartment that they did away with on later models (the one below the headlight buttons).

    Usually I’m not the kind of person to fixate on one feature (or lack thereof) in my judgement of a vehicle’s price, but even I’ll admit that I do kinda bristle at the notion of a turbo 4 cylinder at this price point. I think my ideal spec of this would be a 540i (or i5 40) with no M Sport anything but everything else on the base 19” wheels (maybe 20’s…maybe). Built one on the configurator and that came out to ~$77k

    Excellent review, and I love how you started it with it being a 70k 4 cylinder 5 series. I could write paragraphs about this car, but to put it simply it’s a big miss. It’s a big compromise trying to be a platform for ICE and EV. The most noteworthy examples are the heavy weight, the un-BMW weight distribution on the ice variants (something like 53%-54% front weight distribution on this 4 cylinder x-drive variant), and the weird proportions of the vehicle. G30 540is are looking mighty fine on the used market compared to this thing.

Plus you need pro suspension which is an extra cost option but that gives you way better comfort and body roll control!

    I have rented the G60 3 times from Sixt and for the most part agree with the review with complete disagreement on a few things. To me the ride of the G60 on 19 inch wheels was extremely compliant and much better than the G30.Why is he reviewing a car with stupid 21 inch wheels. I completely disagree on the turn signal which was my worst complaint (Cheap plastic and the feel felt cheap). My G30 turn signal has better action. I completely agree with the review on the interior screens and the need to bring back physical controls. I liked the G60 for its amazing drivetrain (4CY), comfortable seats (Soft as mentioned). Almost every review seems to say "Bring back physical buttons" yet car manufactures are not listening. I think Tesla just removed the shifter in cars and put it on a screen. CRAZY.

    The only thing im disappointed about is the lack of coloured leather on the door. Last gen had more. Thos looks...perhaps 1 series standard

    I find the interior way too minimalistic for a luxury car, and the lack of ACC and lane centering at that price is insane when it comes standard on a $25K compact.

    For the 3 series this engine is great, I have it. Turbos are fun. But not for a 5 series. I’d either get a 6 cylinder or the electric version.

    Question - you mention the climate controls for instance being a safety concern/hazard in this car. Doesn't the new 3 series have a similar system (HVAC controls on the touch screen) as this car? I don't remember hearing you complain about it in that car, at least not at length. Not that I don't disagree with you!

    Let's consider for a moment that a 2024 Toyota Crown 4 cylinder Platinum produces 340 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque for about 53k. Granted, it's a Toyota, the engine numbers are very decent. Now, we venture into the luxury market with a BMW that is 70k with an engine that is less than stellar. I can't even wrap my head around a 70k car with such an underwhelming engine. I'm sure it rides nice. Kinda wish the engine had more power without having to go up to the 540i.

    18:29 as you can see here, BMW invested a hefty sum into the development of their new car's turn signal technology to encourage their drivers to use their damn turn signals. Now you know why this car is worth $70,000.

    Everybody is talking about the spare wheel being thrown in the trunk (which they rightfully should be talking about since what BMW did is just wrong) but I'm wondering why the 530i doesn't have a 3 zone climate control when even the 330i has it!

    That's the problem, they should have made 2 versions of the 5 series. Then the fuel version would look much better in design, instead they made it look ugly because it's made for electric in mind.
