welcome back everybody its mark with exotic car play place today but what do
we have here at brand-new 2018 BMW m5 and I'd like to thank my friend Jeff
quick of Edmonton BMW he's made this all possible Jeff do you have anything you'd
like to say well mark it's it's a beautiful car
beautiful new redesigned we're obviously happy to be showcasing it at our
dealership and we're happy to facilitate the videos for you and we're gonna have
a lot of fun today sounds great and so today we're just going to review do some
interior specification review talk about some of the newer updates of the car
well again thanks for having me now let's talk about some of the interior
features how about some of the ergonomics like the dash and the iDrive
system in these cars how has that changed so Mark lots of lots of changes
in this in this new redesign obviously full digital instrument panel
coupled with our new I Drive and a larger screen on the
11:5 absolutely beautiful designed to look at of course as you change your
different settings so too will the displays change but very very sporty
cockpit layout and it's really nice to look at
yeah I have to say that you know I know Audi sort of led the game a little bit
there for a while on the digital dashes but I see BMWs right there and these
guys are certainly a pleasure to look at you know they're very realistic but it's
it's the way of the future and certainly they're right there too you talk about
the future I mean the way that this instrument panel and cluster pairs up
with the new heads-up display as well and maybe we'll get a shot of that later
but the heads-up display has been also tweaked so that it's a little bit easier
to read and it's a little bit more sporty now so perfect and then what can
you tell me about the M drive, I Drive system in these cards so the I Drive
it's been slowly getting progressively better
easier to manipulate a little bit more user-friendly obviously our I Drive has
been one of the leaders in the industry as well obviously we have the
touchscreen now and maybe we can pan over to that after the touchscreen is
great you can use it just like a smartphone the connectivity the
reliability is perfect but the big thing is obviously the screen size as well so
it's not going to impede your vision which you need to look at from the
cockpit it's perfectly placed Berg anomaly it's just a beautiful flown out
to to the entire the entire cockpit yeah and I see
yeah the gesture controls that's a new addition as well
it is the gesture control is a really nice feature some may call it gimmicky
but again it just creates a oneness with with the driver and the machine and you
can actually create your own sign language for the car so it recognizes
that simply if you don't want to take
somebody's call you can wave it away and you know say if you know the girlfriend
calls or something but and easily to turn up the volume just with a turn over
every cast snapped you was thinking a turn of the the fingers really neat
stuff like this is very progressive and this is the way that BMWs going this is
the future of the technology so perfect yeah looks great
I noticed the - not overly cluttered but again and you know it's just a nice
evolution from what we've seen in the the f10 this being of course the f9d the
latest generation sure yeah well I mean the BMW is timeless in that sense I mean
they don't want to really overwhelm the user it's they've they've really created
the perfect ergonomic elimin for power performance
luxury and comfort BMW has always been simplistic in terms of its design and
there's no question there's been some big upgrades but it's not going to be
totally unfamiliar to you if you're if you've been in
at anytime soon mm-hmm yeah no it looks great I see it looks like we have you
know a leather wrap on the dashboard is this is this an upgrade or is this is
gonna be one of the standard things especially for the new m5 obviously the
extended trim you have leather all the way up the dashboard all the way up the
the sides of the car on the door frames but yeah the dash here right up to the
window sill is all beautifully hand-stitched leather is perfect yeah it
looks great it is it's a good it's a beautiful car
anything worth mentioning on the iDrive itself the controls I notice it's you
know it's a lot nicer to use it's a lot cleaner than you know and I'd like to
make reference to my e60 m5 which is one of the early generations a TM drive or I
Drive and it's not nice it's delayed it's pauses the graphics are sloppy this
is much much nicer yeah instantaneous I would call it there's a
seamless transition between the touch and what is displayed here on on the
display screen on the LED screen the ceramic controls obviously feel a lot
nicer in your hands you can even scroll on this something
what they adopted early in 2014 they have just kept on getting it better
and better and better but the ceramic controls are a really nice feature and
just your hand naturally goes right over to here like I said the ergonomics are
smartly engineers perfect now I notice there's a lot of adjustability in you
know with these controls there's other controls here we've got Hill assist but
more importantly the real meat and potatoes with an M car is the
adjustability on the performance settings right very very true obviously
you can adjust things like your your suspension
you're steering the transmission
the ship's points how the engine performs on the fly we can change the
setup as we're driving so that's what these ceramic controls here are on the
side obviously this is a brand new shifter that's come into in to affect
the styling the way that your hand grips around the
shift is awesome now beautiful redesign you can adjust everything like I said on
the fly but you can also set it up for presets so that you can just and you
will we'll take a look at that later how it integrates with the steering wheel
perfect I noticed you had mentioned as well with that I mean you can alter the
ship speed or the shift points not very easily like you say right Park it's all
integrated in one control it's very clean and it's attractive as well it
doesn't hurt that it's even been organ amelie improved but also cosmetically
for sure it also has the high quality steering wheel as you'd expected nothing
but an AM car of course in the M buttons that are fully programmable for your
sports selection settings of course the new stick shift in the 8-speed auto here
is totally new totally revamped and you'll notice the shift speed settings
the buttons are adjustable on top the cockpit Wow leather from top to bottom
high quality door panels you notice the speaker on the top left high quality
speaker system and trim is second to none as well leather interior from top
to bottom and the back seats are typical for a 5 Series BMW lots of room for
everybody three people in the back of course and AM badging everywhere in this
machine beautiful touches as well as the seat belt webbing you've noticed as well
thanks again Jeff that was an absolutely phenomenal ride and I was definitely not
disappointed as a matter of fact this car was a lot more than I
absolutely just an extreme machine that we repeated and have the pleasure of
selling here and it's gonna bring you lots and lots of joy thanks a lot for
for sharing your time thanks again and don't forget to subscribe to the channel
we'll talk to real soon bye bye
very very quick
