This is my daily driver and I simply love it.
The quality of the interior is much better than its competitors, with soft touch materials on almost every surface, and the interior design closely resembling that of the 7 series. Idrive 6.0 is also much easier to use, along with the epic 360 degree camera system, gesture control, and the convenient BMW connected drive app. The display key also makes it stand out from its competitors as it is unique and it tells you useful information about the car.
The styling of the car is modern and very handsome (looks more elegant and stately with the Luxury Line, and it looks more sporty and aggressive with the M sport trim.) However, the rear can resemble the previous generation F10 from a distance away due to the similarly shaped 'L' tail lights and silhouette. But overall BMW did a fantastic job updating the car's styling and giving it a very modern look. I found the F10 looking quite dated when next to the G30 on the road.
The car is extremely compliant over bumps and has just the right amount of firmness for a slightly sporty drive, yet it still manages to be comfortable.
Power delivery from the 2L I4 engine is great, as the high torque figures help with acceleration and the engine is also very refined.
Gear changes are smooth and barely noticeable in automatic mode, the ZF 8 speed gearbox is fantastic.
Test drove the 530i, it's a very capable car with very good stability, comfort, quietness and power.
I am especially impressed by the quiet drive and the power it excerts when you need it for lane mergering and over taking.
Smart Executive Sedan with many high tech features
This car is a highly capable executive saloon that's sportier than a Mercedes E-Class and comes with more high-tech features compared to its rivals such as Audi A6. In conclusion, the 5 Series offers a better mix of practicality, efficiency, comfort and techy features than almost any other saloon on the market
