By itself, the 530i is decent, but imo the base 5 series should be a 535i with the B58 producing around 300hp. B48 is a great engine, but a mid-size luxury sedan would be much better suited for a more powerful base engine. This car’s B48 variant is great for the base US 3 series, but for a base 5, a detuned B58 would be much better.

Many people want BMW to go out of business. But then I remember that we need competition in the luxury auto space. But then I remember that “luxury” cars are starting to become not worth it with the exception of some Lexuses.

Lexus has no place in luxury in today’s market. Have you seen their latest products?! They’re Toyota + now. The don’t even have differentiating designs anymore. This is coming from someone who used to love lexus but not so much anymore. Kinda gets old to wait and wait and wait for them to release a product that caters to a younger demographic who isnt won over with the bare minimum. BMW on the other hand, they kicking ass but cost cutting is starting to affect them to

@@blackjack21477You obviously don’t appreciate the subtle details of Lexus that makes them luxury. BMW cuts costs mechanically left and right with plastic oil pans, hoses, engine casings, etc. But Lexus is mechanically solid but not quite as nice with the interior in some cases. Lexus is definitely more worthy of luxury than BMW because Lexus cuts costs bits that don’t affect reliability like BMW does. BMW is a cheap car mechanically with all the gimmicks to make it look better than a Lexus. That’s the difference I’d say

I definitely don’t like the new look of the 2025 X3.. this 5 series looks great.. I think BMW is leaning towards luxury, if someone wants a bit more connection to the road you gotta go Porsche 😊

If you want a fun "light" sporty reliable SUV get a BMW X3 with the B58 engine or get a used Porsche Macan 252hp (reliable VW/audi engine) and get an ECU tune if you feel like its not powerful enough. The base Macan is very reliable, tunable, parts are cheap, it has the famous Porsche PDK gearbox and it handles better than the V6 Macans. BMW X3 and Porsche Macan are the best handling mid size SUVs.

I'm a big Lexus fan, but they do not offer a sedan anything like this. When the GS was discontinued, it did a lot of damage to Lexus midsize sport sedan segment. IF Lexus brought back the GS to battle these 5 series, that would be a dream come true. I rather have the new BMW 2024 540 version of this car than any current Lexus sedan.
