Times change, though, and this is the first time you'll actually be able to buy an electric version, the i5, alongside the conventional gas-powered 5 Series. But which one is better? Kase takes both out for a spin to show the pros and cons of each!

The 530i is decently quick and in current form is as large as older 7-series cars yet is EPA rated at 27 city / 35 hwy. Impressive mileage, performance, and comfort for a small displacement 4 cylinder
Nice interior, nice exterior lines. The reviewer is calm and unbiased.
Thank you, Kase. Good review.
Great Review - Thank You :)
I loved the interior
And that panoramic roof❤
Looking forward to seeing your review of the 2024 BMW 540i Xdrive. The 530 just doesn't have enough horsepower to put a smile on your face (or at least on my face). :)
Id take the ev version anytime, if i had the money
"...necessary it is for a crossover" to have auto closing hatch/trunk...I'd argue it isn't necessary there either...
The 5 series is no longer a E segment car, it's a F segment. It's getting to large, it's basically a 7 series in size. (Yes, I know a 7 series to day is the size of a Crown Vic)
Actually the G70 7 series and s klasse are both bigger than the ford crown Victoria. This G60 5 series is the same length as the e65 7 series.
Bro the m5 is going to look even more insane. I love the old deisgn and the new one! New one was more classy this is more like a big bulky BMW muscle car. Things a tank. Also 3.7 sec 0-60 isnt the case as usual with bmw cars. Ive seen it do 3.3
Good looking car - as you said the shark nose them suits it really well, its been a while since BMW brought a really good looking car to market.
8 series, 3 series and X5 all look good
@@pete64041 8 series looks quite ok, but because its so heavy and not really performing good, but the X5 looks really good agreed! Also the last generation 4 looked awesome
@@bavariancarenthusiast2722not performing good. Bruv have you even seen a m8 and m8 grand coupe along with their competition variants. They’re quick as hell. 3 seconds to 60 10.95 1/4 mile. Even the m850i is faster than the Mercedes s53 amg coupe 3.7 seconds to 60 for the m850i vs 4.8 seconds to 60 for the s53 amg coupe. Plus they’re both comfortable gran tourers.
I think 530e or 550i is the hest chooise in the new 5 series Long range and the B48/ B58😎
I like the design, personally! Stands out for sure. Haters will hate regardless. I reviewed the i5 M60, and it's a phenomenal driving car. Handles like a sports car and rides like a 7-series. Can't wait to drive the 540i/550e. I am not an EV fan, but the i5 is definitely my favorite EV thus far.
I do really like the new 5
same here, i actually like it
@@chrism869Me too! Saw a review of a 530i by this Ukranian guy, and he bashed everything. His viewers seem to agree😂 it's okay! Haters will hate
Interesting comparison Kase two nice cars, I wonder how an electric car with a battery up front would go, in the case of a full frontal collision?
the batteries are on the bottom for this reason.
BMW do a nice interior and it's much better than Tesla
So, is it better than the gas?
The 540 i please no electric thank you
The handwriting is on the wall. Due to economic and slow transition rates, new petrol cars will not banned. Nice idea but there is no master plan and funding for it.
Way to go kase ❤
Thank you, Kase. Good review. IMHO electric vehicles are the future, but I don't think we are there yet. the 50/50 like the Prius seems to be a great bridge
Thats what Anyos Jedlik said in 1827
i mean i think germans will do it the best, they know how to make a good ev
We are there already with tesla, rest are playing catch up.
They aren't the future...
Taycan as a weekender Turo rental was fun. Then every time i get on a Pestlas, it ruins the vibe and makes me hate Bevs.
Rode shotty on a Turo i4 and it was really nice at night. Overall dull...
Coming from an all bimmer garage. The iX50 & M60 is probably the only bev i thought about seriously signing for.
Soulless, but it felt special enough especially the M60. Tayca was special too, but that price for mediocre range. Just get a 911 S
Give us the gassers! No to bevs 🙅🏻♂
The M60 delivers the performance of an M5 for the price of a nice equipped 540. That`s a no brainer.
We need 550i not EV.
550e is where it's at!
Gas or electric, this car is ugly.
It looks both geriatric yet poser-ishly modern and avant garde at the exact same time. All the fussy bending lines, bumps and creases, with proportion that are completely out of whack, it's just a mess. To think, this is the same company that made such elegantly sporty luxury cars like the E39. What the hell happened...
i think this car looks nice in person, in the photos it was like meh but irl it looked great, not a ll new bmws are ugly, like the g87 m2, it looks great
Great job on the review.
30 minutes charge is good but in the gas version it would be 5 minutes for a fiil up & be miles down the road.
$80,000 for that is crazy. They tried batteries before & it failed, and I will guarantee it's gonna fail again.
550e will be the way to go!
What's the point to have lot's of horsepower on electric cars? It is useless. Unfortunately the rannge of electric cars are very low, tbey are way more expensive than the petrol/diesel cars, and more heavier. A lot of time to wait to charge, not ideal for long trips. So there are no advantages for electric cars.
BMW needs to hire some new designers. Smh. The interior is fine but the exterior is horrid. Especially hate those taillights. If I had to pick one it would be the 540 tho
85,000 is a BARGAIN compared to a Model S!! Much better car!!
WAY better car!
2.0L 4 cylinder in a 5 series. Pass!
Hopefully they will put the B58B30TÜ2 in it in the future😅
thats a 530i it has a 4cyl engine ,so who cares , there will be a 540i, m550i with the v8 and later the m5 variant
BMW styling has fallen off a cliff.
Absolutely fugly. The interior looks worse than the E39 in terms of look and feel from 20-25 years ago! The trunk doesn't even have gas struts like the E39. The general design change BMW has started to go through and, the even longer term loss of soul (no longer the ultimate driving machine that perfectly balanced comfort handling) has meant they have lost a devout supporter; BMWs formed a key part of my childhood and youth from the street to the track. The rest of the family have admitted they are moving towards being with Mercedes as opposed to being with BMW given where the design of BMW is going and it missing something that they can't put their finger on
Kase you do a great job on these reviews. But those little charge up Barbie jeeps gotta go.
the ppl in the comments section are clearly not the target demographic. we the wealthy realize EVs for our work and lunch meetings is so incredibly nice and the convenience of not wasting more time on maint/fill ups makes us more wealthy....
I do not agree. A 911 rear wheel give meaning to a hectic schedule...another way of escape with an appreciable level of risk and most importantly, control. Let the wife have her EV, and let the boys have their toys.
"Free charging" being doled out by these non-domestic manufactures is killing the charging infrastructure- incentivizing people to use a "free charger" instead of charging at home is a horrible idea.
Also just a side note...BMW has destroyed a huge amount of prime farming land in Woodruff, SC to build a battery plant....cut down hundreds of trees and are using diesel construction equipment to move the dirt and build the plant. Go Green!
Sooooo much wasted time, money, energy on this EV fad.
We will see if it’s a fad, EVs work much better for many use cases than an ICE car. The opposite could be said for a few use cases as well but we are less than 2 decades into mass produced EVs, we may hit price parity and 500 miles of range by 2030.
How is it that we have infinite gasoline? Where does it come from?
Well said 👍
@spcneary it's a 100% unsustainable pipe dream. This fad will be dead with 5 years
What fuel do you think they will move to after gasoline?
No EV for me…
I’ve considered myself a car enthusiast since the mid 70s, several years before I even had a license. Worshiped at the altar of the European sports car/sedan as evangelized by R&T and C&D. My first new car purchase was a 1983 VW Rabbit GTI. If I ran things, no one could get a license without knowing how to work a clutch and manual gearbox, trucks would be for work only, and crossovers wouldn’t exist.
But even with my background, I’ve fully embraced the idea that the BMW E90 I bought new in 2009 and still use for high speed, long range duties is the last ICE vehicle I’ll buy. My daily driver since 2014 has been an EV. Two leased and now a third purchased i3. I love it because it’s so weird but perfectly engineered for its city car mission. Look no further than the chassis that’s largely carbon fiber and aluminum. It makes the i3 several hundred pounds lighter than the base 530i here. And even a decade on, the i3 interior design remains unequaled. In comparison, the i5 strikes me as several steps backwards.
All of which is a long way of saying I have zero interest in any car that’s on a converted ICE platform. We’ll see if the 2025 Neue Klasse sedan is convincing enough to make me part with my E90.
