In this episode, Savagegeese delves into the 2024 BMW 5 Series, a quintessential German executive sedan that's undergone a significant revamp. The car boasts a classic three-box design with larger dimensions, exuding a conservative yet divisive exterior styling. Inside, the 5 Series impresses with cutting-edge technology, featuring a well-executed iDrive 8.5 system and touch controls. The spacious interior offers comfort and practicality, with luxurious seating, ample storage, and a cavernous trunk perfect for any executive's needs.
Under the hood, the BMW 5 Series shines with mechanical enhancements aimed at delivering a refined driving experience. From wider bodywork to improved rigidity, the G60 generation caters to both internal combustion and electric variants. Suspension upgrades provide a comfortable ride, with the option for electronically controlled dampers for added versatility. The drivetrains receive power boosts, with the B58 engine showcasing remarkable performance figures. Despite some tech-related critiques, the 5 Series excels in offering a cohesive and luxurious driving experience that sets it apart in the executive sedan segment.
As the team takes the 5 Series for a spin, they explore its handling dynamics and overall performance on the road. While the car may not evoke the same spirited driving experience as its predecessors, it excels in providing a comfortable, refined ride suitable for long distances. The BMW sedan's competence and attention to detail shine through, making it a top contender in its class. With a price range starting below $60,000 and climbing to $70,000 for a fully-loaded model, the 5 Series offers a compelling option for those seeking luxury, comfort, and advanced technology in a prestigious executive sedan.
