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.
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
