5 Series (G60/G61/G68) [Official] The New BMW 5 Series (G60)

How the mighty have fallen...

The funny thing is the F/L G30 was nigh-on perfect. Give me a 540i Xdrive with M-sport pack in Carbon Blue and Cognac interior, and I'd be very content to have that as a daily driver. Bloody shame what this gen 5er has become.

Oh, I dunno...

As the G60/61 has grown on me, I am perceiving them to be "authentic BMWs" that convey at least elements of the brands heritage. IMHO, more than in direct comparision with the E39, that with the E60/61 makes this even more apparent.

Looks wise sure, but I had a G30 540i xDrive and that thing is just such a boat. Super numb steering and very floaty suspension.

If “authentic BMW” meant FWD like proportions, a bloated body, and a ton of crappy plastic in the interior, I would agree.

It’s funny Mercedes Benz became more sporty, BMW became more floaty.

The E39 looks lovely, especially with the analog instruments.

Something tells me there is a "yes-but" response in our future........

The gap will only get bigger and bigger.

MB is doomed. A shadow of the company it once was. It's so dire I am f' ing rooting for them!

 

[klier]

So BMW sells almost 40% more i5/5er than MB sells E/EQE

Over here in my country the gap is like 10 times as big. The EQE hardly even exists and the E class is on life support.

Too bad nobody who's getting one actually cares, but least we will get a proper facelift which will straighten that ugly face. This grille design is so f#cked up.

Doesn't surprise me. The Mercedes ASPs are quite high compared to BMW and Audi.
