Being a BMW fan I can digest everything but can’t digest the fact that a car that costs around 90L OTR doesn’t have rear window blinds !! Not even manual ones ?? What did designers smoke ??
That’s a very useful and much required feature which even a 20lakh car should have.
If i recall correctly the older model has that, in the luxury line atleast
@@sakethsonuthe older one even had rear entertainment screens. This being a LWB, should have had that too.
@@peanutbutterjelly1368 even my skoda superb has it and they also skipped on this feature in our bmw 330li which is also long wheel base and costs 70L OTR.
The old gen costed around 80L but has damn good
My seltos has it too🤣😭
So bmw deleted air suspension/ Rear sunblinds / recline seats / Rear screens/ laser lights etc . And increased the price ...wow so Germans. Doubt there is even adas level 2/3 . Thanks for giving us indian a bad deal like always.
They are giving ADAS just for namesake. It should have been called ADAS level 0.5.
@@peanutbutterjelly1368 a 30 lakh car has more features/value for money factor/ easy to maintain and almost 200 hp power
@@peanutbutterjelly1368 even a volvo s90 which is 2017 model has more feat and level 2 adas
@@VirajThe007 true. Nowadays, a car worth 30 Lakhs is all the car that you'll ever need, plus some more. Above that is just pure desire.
Ground clearance is a bummer!!
For all the enthusiasts of 5 and 6 series Pre owned market is the only choice of interest now 😂
The distinction is clear now. M340i for enthusiasts and 5lwb for business persons.
But, what about the people who want the class and features of a 5er and is an enthusiast?
@@peanutbutterjelly1368 Exactly..... they are ruining for what BMW is known for
wait till they ruin 3 series as well
For business persons the LWB E-class is the better option..
It’s a seriously flawed product. Neither here nor there! I have been a lifelong BMW purist.
BMW is doing is very great job... for mercedes
😂😂😂😂 yes
I prefer the old design
Why we don't like this car
-bad looks
-worse driving dynamics
-bad looking wheels
-no physical touch cntrls
-inflated grills
-no sunshade
-no adaptive cruise cntrl
Bro why you mad ? You can't buy one anyway!
1) grille with light is just 🤡
2) wheels are good looking. It's just that they are small for this car.
3 physical controls ? Just wait till you enter tatta bent, the interior is a dead lifeless eery cementry. Atleast cemetery has tombstones. This has no thing.
can bro not afford one?
Having those wheels on a 5 series BMW is like wearing chappals with a suit and tie 😅
Legendary 5 series era ends under the tyres😢
From a BMW nut: I hope the Indian conumers start seeing through the ever shrinking model line up from the BMW, India. The lineup isn't just smaller but it is also being stripped of power (X1 18d!) comfort features ( Li vs GT).
Yet the country seems to be obsessed about owning this badge, making the manufacturer get away with offering less for more with every iteration.
12:11 strongly agree with nikhil's opinion
Bmw for enthusiasts in their 60's
Who do you think buys these
nikhil seems sad to miss the chance to say his infamous dialogue, '"IAM 6 FEET TALL AND FRONT SEAT IS SET TO MY SEAT POSITION"
because of the long wheel base🤣😅🤣
Haha!
I brought etios liva diesel in 2022 for 2.5 lakh. 1.5 lakh on odo. This has been my daily driver since past 2 years and I'm absolutely loving this every day.
No nonsense car. I'm getting 20 kmpl.
What’s wrong with the wheels?
They are too high profile😅
They look small in proportion to the body and the wheels of the previous gen 5 were much better looking
@Autocar India - has the 6GT been silently discontinued after introducing this 5 LWB? I checked on 25.7.24 on BMW India website, couldnt find it - so asking.
Yes 6 GT has been discontinued silently . The new 5 LWB replaces it.
The RIP old 5 and 6 series. The Golden era of BMW is gone .
@@uiyygggg thanks. Very disheartening to know this. Really this 5LWB is a Merc with a BMW badging. It has lost all originality
Yup, the 6 GT has been discontinued
@@NikhilOnCars thanku for the info. Actually didnt like the look of the LWB5 at the very onset after seeing the notification from Autocar. Then dragged myself into viewing it. Found that my very question was answered during the beginning of the video itself. Anyways thanx for the reply. Am am Audi person. Merc hater. Liked the sole BMW 6GT because of its present looks, presence, interiors and Audi like easy to use analog controls. Its very disheartening for me
The German version has rear blinds and the window blinds, saw it personally at the Munich museum in June
My ciaz has a rear sunshade why can't this 75 lakh car have that such a let down
I was just about to comment this 😊
like how android guys cry that iPhone has no radio fm
You guys are absolutely wrong about this. It's a 90 lac car. 😂
Nikhil does the most watchable reviews. Glad he covered this great car. The 5 is getting quite pricier though.
Thanks! Glad you liked it 🙂
BMW is becoming a Merc now :(
Merc is better😂😂
@bihanbanerj nah man both merc and bmw are falling down and audi is also going to fall soon
BMW needs to change their designer asap. Cool interior tho:)
BMW is actually Benz”ing especially AMG”ing 😁 Love this collab between BMW and Benz🤷♂️😁😂
Sheer driving pleasure where?
Ground clearance?
I don’t even have enough money to buy a BMW but I’m still watching this video because I really enjoy watching reviews of things that are beyond my means
can you do a comparison review between BMW 630 I and the new 530 I
Launch date in india?
The new titanium lining with the arctic gray r someething like that is the best looking ever 😍
The front quarter when the video went dark reminded me of the Corolla Altis 2nd gen. The headlights, especially.
Except the rear charging, not a patch on the 6 series.
Is this an upgrade?
Not having a sunblind in a 5 series is crazy, that too at this pricing. Even my e90 3 series has front and rear sunblind
No diesel?
I don't remember myself getting this little interested in a BMW.
New car formula -
Add 1/2 Big Screen & Remove buttons
Add some extra EV power
Worsen the handling, remove steering feedback.
Faster 0-60 time.
0:40 well the Wheelbase = Length of MG Comet?
Old design side muscle lines are good lokk now is just plain look so normal
previous generation bmw were way handsome. That we all can agree on.
Audi A6 is so underrated car that nobody talk about .. its better than 5 & 6 series of BMW
No radar in BMW 5 series. No sunroof open its fixed roof. I think no blind spot assistant in BMW 5 series no lane departure warning
Design is not good!! I like old bmw design. It used to be classy, elegant and sporty before.
2018-19 Model looks better than the current one's
the prev 5 was easily one of the best looking bmw's of all time and this one is right up there with one of the worst looking what a turnaround i dont get why car companies keep changing and ruining what was already perfect
Do we have new a5 ?
This will increase the sales of next gen e class
Only major problem with next gen E class is that you get a glossy television not a dashboard...
Waiting for next gen 5 series
Lightning streaks on the dash?? Looks like cracked wood.. 😂
A rear passenger focused car without any amenities at the rear makes 0 sense. Surely anybody who pays 90L would not mind paying slightly more to get all those features.
those wheels eww looks like the donut spare tyre they give in the 3 series
No air suspension? Wtf? For almost a Cr? The Indian consumer getting screwed by car companies and the govt 😂
India has always been a value focused market and this car offers none. BMW has shot themselves in the foot with this eyesore of a vehicle, it'll soon join the ranks of the new C63 in terms of sales numbers.
Let's make the car longer and not give anything else. All new 5 series everyone🕺🏻
Please give comparison with Lexus es300h
Which one is the best buy option E class, 5 Series, S90, Lexus 300h
What No Adaptive Dampers😢?
Now phone companies and car companies have no idea what to do with innovation in design
The optional wheels look nice though ..
But it lacks the emotions of a bmw
Mercedes Eclass hands on anyday
The exterior design doesn't really bother me. While it is not as accomplished as the previous gen it does well to make it look more modern. But those alloys simply have nothing redeeming about them.
Looks like Skoda Superb
except superb looks better tho
Superb looks better than this
Such a relief to know that i am not the only one who hates new bmws
Are those flap type door handles ? Nothing can come close to the F90, F10 is even better looking
It's a shame that there is no diesel
At this point Mercedes takes the Indian market more seriously than BMW.
Even my 2006 Corolla has a rear sun blind 😂
Now I feel e class is better
Wonder why BMW looks outdated from outside everytime when they launch a updated version.
I mean for 3 and 5 series
Imagine people buying Rs.100 sun blinds for a 80Lac ruppees car. 😅
Also.. no reclining seats 🤦 and i thought its targeted for rear passenger audience
old design>>>>>>>>new design
I liked the older model
I love it 👏👏
Body Lines gone for the toss ????
Looks more like older generation Camry !!
This looks like the GTA version of the 5er. And let's not get started on the crappy equipment list. Giant touchscreens and ambient lighting alone aren't enough to make a good car, BMW.
Wheels ain't big issue for people. They can easily change the rims in some shop. The fact, the 5 series lost its uniqueness....It was raw, a pure driving pleasure and not luxury centric + so many technology. Nuh uh, it looks good in the 7 series and Mercedes bcoz they're meant for that. BMW is meant for the raw feel, adequate enough luxury and most importantly performance!
Attractive can't be associated with the side profile of this ever, period.
Not looking good. Old 5 series was way sexier in appearance
3 series is the last good looking car of bmw
2012 Honda Accord facelift. lol
Never thought I'd say this about BMW, but this is an ugly looking 5 series.
I like old design the next generation
Not happy with Design
Wheels are worse
Not happy
This design is not going well with a long wheelbase. Why do they need to copy the Mercedes e class . Wrong choice imo.
10:45: Waiting 😅😅😅😅😅😅
70lakh + for 250hp .....it's time to shift EV
Not impressed I would prefer the Mercedes as at this price point a little bit of luxuries is required and that Mercedes does well
Any fools can prefer buy buying is the important factor..
DRL's are shrinking both in BMW and Mercedes and making design worse.
Price is just a lakh less with merc e series lwb .
Audi more VFM brand A6 over this anytime
Front lights look like copied from verna
My life's biggest regret is that I couldn't make enough money in time to buy the G30.
BMW skipped leg days!
BMW 5 SERIES LXI 😢
Audi ftw
This 5 series WILL hurt sales of BMW.
5 Series buyers buy the car because it's not only a brilliant driver's car but can also take a family out in comfort for holidays. It was the best of both.
Breaks my heart to see the new one. It has lost all it was a gem for.
You review others, please allow me to review your content quality. No 4K, in 2024? Seriously!!
AUDI A5, better alternative.
Body design doesn't suits the 5 series legacy
BMW did a great job killing sporty looks of 5 series.
New BMW models🤡🤡
Wonder why so much obsession for lwb. ?
Buying bmw in future will no more dream for many, worst design & its kidney grille totally has destroyed its Design DNA, Why on earth is bmw doing so cheap cost cutting by providing 17 inch Wheels. Any day I will buy Skoda atleast its design is still true to its heritage DNA
