All New 5| BMW 5-Series M sport | Looks Stunning

Hii guys and welcome to another blog.

This is the all new BMW 5-series, this is the G30 LCI , face-lifted version and this is the 7th generation of 5 series this is the 530i M sport. If you are in hurry then there are major updates i.e. it got new grill which opens and closes when it needs air, new sleeker headlamps, new alloy designs, new rear tail lamps and minor updates in rear bumper, trapazoidal exhaust and on interior front new and bigger screen that's it. Little changes LCI but we still go through it.

This is the M sport so it has M colors right there, it got smart key and it is a wireless charging key with which we can look/unlock the car and open trunk and a lot of functions like remote parking , auto engine o/off for AC which says set the temparature, it salso says distance to empty...etc etc

Looks 

As this is the M sport it gets chrome surround around the grill and the grill BTW opens and closes to ensure for great aerodynamic efficiency, it got a camera upfront for 360° view. In fact the CD  of this car is best in the segment. Bumper is really aggressive it got space lower down for breathing and it got air inlets that outlets air inside wheel arches to reduce wind turbulence again Aerodynamics my friend. And it got BMW laser lights L shaped DRLs with blue ting inside, the lights gets the matrix function and can throw lights upto 650 meters, they look lovely and lit's up every thing in night. Infact the lights are so advance, in-case someone is ahead of it, then it will automatically shifts to lowbeam and allows other people to travel comfortably. All that happen with sensors and cameras placed in top of the wind shield.



The hood is long, this car is slightly under 5-meters in length and slightly under 3-meter in wheel base absolutely right proportions for sedan, The wheels are 18-inches M whels, it gets M color brake calipers. The front tires are 245 45 / 18 not really low profile. 



M batching on the fenders with functional air vents again aerodynamics for reducing drag. Ground cleararce is low, overall proportions and cuts and creases everything fantastic. And in night it projects light from the door handles and it got a camera under the each ORVM for park assist. gets gloss black finishing around the window line and a sun roof at the top with the shark fin antena, the typical BMW affair. 

The rear tail light says BMW inside and the rear tire is actually bigger in size because rear wheel drive; 275 40 /18 wheels are lovely and same wih brake calipers. Again the car actually looks like bigger 3-from the front same from the rear as well where we get new re-profiled lights L shaped and a rear fog lamp as well, should have got dynamic swipe for indicators. 530i is the name of the variant, rear parking camera, parking sensors and trapazoidal exhaust tips with reflectors above that. 



Car looks fantastic from every given angle, really what a design, what a beauty. 

Interiors front,

Starting with the boot, the tail gate gets auto release, now globally the 530i  has 530 liters of boot space but in India is lesser because it gets a spare wheel which is a space saver and nither an alloy. The size of the tire is 135 60 /18. there is space on both the sides, first aid kit what not but coz of spare wheel the boot carring capacity is nearly about 400 liters and you can lock the car from there itself if you so wish


Lets get inside, first and for-most the doors are really long and almost open 90°. Getting in and out might be a issue as the car is low. There is good amount of storage space at the door pockets but the blinds are manually adjustable, not the case in 6-series which also gets soft door close and missed in 5-series. Infact the skid plates gets M logo. The seats got decent recline angle could be better, the seat quality is fantastic. As we can see there is good amount of knee room and leg room, head room is average. There is hook as well as a handle om both the sides, and there is the light placement at the center. There is also a floor hump at the center with rear AC vents with 4 zone climate control system and USB charging sockets. Here we get magazine holders in the seat back, AC vents on the B pillar as well. Cabin is really very nice and premium too. 
.

Speakers says Harmon cardon. And the rear sun blind has electric adjust from drivers side. Anyways nothing as changed. But we get request sensor on the doors, just put your hand and it will automaticlly unlock. 



Now the seats get electric adjust but the driver gets memory function it can set upto 2 people setting. The controls for windows and and mirrors  are in metallic finish and the door panel also got soft touch plastic, quality of the cabin and material is absolutely phenomenal. This variant gets sport seats being M sport other variants get comfort seats. Being sports seats it is still comfortable, nice bolstering with adjustable under thigh support. The paddle area is also gets metallic finish with a proper dead paddle, with secret storage space and controls for head light of course. Now its got automatic headlights and automatic wipers and a slue of tech you just name it. 

The dashboard design is slightly  tilted towards driver, it got auto-deming IRVM and the sun roof is of decent size but not as big as 6-series. Quality of material is just phenomenal. Round steering wheel with BMW logo in center could have flat bottom but gets electric adjust both for reach as well as for rake. The center we have the gear selector and the side is the I-drive controler with drive mode selector and electic parking brake with auto hold function as well as it got controls for 360° parking camera, park assist with traction control button as well. Every thing is very nicely done. And about storage at the center it got 2 cup holders and a wireless charging pad with USBs and arm rest with more storage inside it with charging options as well. The glove box is on the smaller side and does gets the cooling function. 

You have got touch controls for the climate control, the screen is bigger here now 12.3 inches earlier it was 10 inches, it is super sleek to use, and gets voice commands as well. Infact the speakers are also fabuless and it got gesture controls for volume. It also gets 360° parking camera with a birds eye view which helps us very nicely. There is 11 colored ambient lights available but still the less as Hyundai is giving 64 ambient light color in its Alcazar whoch os half of its money.

The drivers information display shows speedometer in the left and tachometer at the right, in the middle there are various information through which you can toggle through and it says real time furl economy, how much range is left, travel time, maps and what not. 

Engine Department

Powering this car are 2.0-litre turbo-petrol (252PS/350Nm), 2.0-litre diesel (190PS/400Nm), and 3.0-litre diesel (265PS/620Nm) units. All engines come with an 8-speed automatic as standard.
However Globally this car gets and option of 540i which produces more power but is not present in India, as if that was on offer then nobody will move for thr M5.
 

CONCLUSION

This time BMW has focused towards comfort but still very agile around directional changes. Now the price of this car is around 75 lakhs which is decent enough but is 6 lakh Rupees cheaper the 6-series  630i M sport and 10 lakhs cheaper than 530d M sport. 

0-100km/h in 6.2secs which is again quick for a car of this segment, If you are interested to carry 4 people in comfort as well will give you the thrill of having a rear wheel drive as well.

So guys these is my review of BMW 5-series.
