I Love It

I had a 2022 Mercedes C Class and Traded it in for a 2024 BMW530I. Loner car with 8400 miles. I love the car. It puts the Mercedes to shame. Granted the 5 competes with the E class. The ride is smoother, Quieter and more comfortable. The car is rated at 30 miles per gallon. I put it in Efficient Mode and i'm getting 32.5 miles a gallon which is amazing for a car this size. It helped in my decision to purchase based on consumer reports rating BMW 2nd for quality where as Mercedes came in 23rd. I did have electronic issues with the Mercedes which are well known.

Why is BMW dumbing down 5 series

The 2020 5 series could be had with rear wheel steering, adaptive suspension, massaging seats, articulating seats and front seat map pockets on their backs as well as M sport brakes without the M package. The 2025 has none of these available. Further the touch screen for most functions instead of buttons is far more distracting for the driver. BMW used to add more features each successive model making them familar while also more desirable. Apparently cost savings is now the rule which is quite disappointing. Do better in the future BMW.

The car drives like a dream. Luxury with more than a touch of sportiness. Digital interface - intuitive. Straight line speed - extraordinary. Handling - like butter. Exterior - gorgeous. Interior - ditto. AB
