    Great review and fantastic to see Rebecca back! I currently have a job that allows me to drive brand new cars on a daily basis, Yes the new 5 series is the benchmark in quality and the minute you step into the car it makes you feel special (or that your in a very expensive bit of kit) however on the business model android phone conectivity is not standard!! A 50k euro car that can't connect my phone! C'mon BMW an opel corsa valued at 16k has conectivity as standard

    • @robbieshaft
      @robbieshaft 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      SA13 straight-6 are one of the nicest engines yes but what's wrong with the V8 or even V10 or even the 4 cylinder diesel. A straight 6 isn't a must have

    • @Firemarioflower

    • @Firemarioflower

      +kryptoniteee There should not be an explanation needed, if you can't feel it, you can't know it. You're a car layman. Shut up.

    • @Firemarioflower
      @Firemarioflower 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +robbieshaft Yes it is. It's a bimmer for fucks sake!! They're obligated to do so, it's their heritage and their smoothest engine. V8s and V10s need more isolation since they vibrate a lot.
      and 4 cylinder diesels are uncivilised, boring and underpowered.

    • @robbieshaft
      @robbieshaft 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Firemarioflower 4-cylinder diesels are designed for fuel economy and that's the job they do and they return good bhp and torque so why wouldn't bmw design them, you'll see they've had huge success with these engines over the years in terms of sales, also bmw is not the only company to have 4 cylinder diesel in their line-up. Yes I agree a 6-cylinder is more refined but does it matter that much if you're buying diesel?

    @kevinbrown-ge6sz 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    The 5 Series is notorious for wheels that are easily bent or cracked. Mine is three years old and my tires are always losing air pressure because of the bent/cracked wheels. I've had one of the wheels worked on twice and its still causing problems. I've talked to other 5 Series owners and they have the same problem.

      And the interior looks way better and has better looking ambient lighting and has stone massaging seats!

    @davidhayes4814 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Why do seemingly near-perfect large executive cars not cater well for the third rear passenger? This is a genuine question because in other respects they outsmart almost every other sector. I suspect that, being rear wheel drive, (with that tunnel) they allow the observation that three large adults in the back Seldom travel together to prioritise other areas.

    This video offers more than a car review. I love Rebecca Jackson she looks great beind the wheel and is very clear and complete on what you get with the car and the goods and bad from a woman that is a Race car driver.
