2024 BMW i5 More Tech than a Tesla 8K

Show video

Now let's play the game now and you can see myself  talking to the camera here are five things I love   about the new Five series it's appropriately  have five things because it is a five series   first of all I have to be honest I really really  like the back here I really like the way this   design goes together I just think it looks really  aesthetically pleasing and we do of course have   our Hofmeister Kink there and a five there because  just like Johnny 5 this car is very much alive the   second thing I like is the ability to see outside  the car the third thing is the ability to see   inside the car the fourth thing is the Apple car  key able to share your car key with another family   member fantastic fantastic feature and the fifth  thing is the ability to do remote control parking   and move the car from your phone you use the app  to park the car you tip it forwards to make sure   that it's intentional cuz we want to make sure  that there's accidental self- parking and then   press and hold for it to park and it will park  itself like that welcome to the channel now lots   of people are concerned about technology in cars  now obviously this channel is called teching the   car so if you're here hopefully you're open-minded  to it and BMW one of the companies that are really   pushing that technology to the Limit and creating  cars like this new I5 which have unbelievable Tech   inside them which make your car safer which make  it a better experience and just make it a lot of   fun to drive so should you be for or against  technology in cars let's face it cars are now   computers they computers more than ever before  and as we get more and more EVS which the majority   of new cars are and will be going forward that's  something you have to get used to are you worried   about your online data well I have a solution  which means you don't have to worry at all it's   called Aura who are the sponsor of today's video  let me show you what I mean I'm going to do a   Google search to see see what information I can  find online about myself wow there is a lot of   information here and I'm very uncomfortable with  having all this information online and available   to anyone data Brokers sell your information to  scammers spammers and anyone else who may want   to Target you and that's not something that we  want your full name home address email address   health records your relatives it's all out there  always shows me which data Brokers are selling my   information and Auto automatically submits up down  requests for me which is a fantastic feature or   is cleaning up my information which is helping to  reduce the amount of spam I get and also protects   me from hackers who could use this information to  help them access my social media accounts we have   a lot of other features it includes things like an  antivirus a VPN to protect your location password   management parental controls and identity theft  Insurance so you're insured if something happens   and you've got Aura you are insured for quite a  lot of money it's really easy to set up there's   an app which is available as well as the website  you can have it on your phone on your tablet you   may already have one or two of these tools such  as a VPN or password manager but Aura has it all   in one and it's fantastic value not having Aura is  like locking the back door but leaving the front   door wide open it's one affordable price Aura is  always working to keep you safe in the background   so you can concentrate other things which are  more important in life I value my privacy and   I value your privacy so go to aura.com inthar  for a free 2E trial where you can enjoy all the   features and see what it's really like this is  the new BMW G60 I5 so this is the all electric   version of the 5 series and this is the e Drive  40 it still starts at around £76,000 and as this   car expect this expected about 96,000 £97,000  so there's a lot of car in here this car has a   an 81.2 KW usable battery it can do 357 M wltp  and it does 0 to 60 in 6 seconds which we will   test now how big is this car we've got a length  of 5,60 mm so just over 5 m it's 1.5 M tall and  

it's 1.9 M wide as it's had the mouch the front  grill is blacked out which is nice looking on   this car with this gray contrast we've got this  Square here which is where the driver Assist   Technology is around radar cruise control that is  actually quite well integrated and we got quite a   nice bumper here and actually there are quite big  vents down here that I can put my hands all the   way in I like how the Bonnet lines accentuate  the BMW logo which is blue because this is an   electric BMW so at the front there is no front we  just have this cover which covers the car battery   and various bits underneath there so why is there  no Frank well I have this Theory which may prove   to be right may prove to be wrong that unless  a car manufacturer has been created with the   intent of creating a fully electric platform and  only electric cars that actually you might not   get frks in new EVS from car companies like Audi  Mercedes BMW Etc now I'm not saying this is going   to always be the case but it doesn't make sense to  me that they would add a process where they have   to add and move around the technology inside this  area of the car to make space for the E platform   now obviously the I5 is part of the 5 series it's  not specifically designed as an electric platform   but the tooling and the changes needed I think to  make frks happen in every single car is more than   probably the demand that there is for them so  I think that actually frks may well be a Rarity   as we go forward and not something which is more  common place unless you buy a car from an e only   manufacturer just my thoughts I might be wrong but  that's what I think at the back of the I5 we've   got this cool new carbon fiber lip spoiler which  is specific to this option pack and then we've   got these new Five series lights which I think  look really nice as well and I like the little   blue indentation on the inside of the I5 logo and  then when we open up the boot we've obviously got   an automatic tailgate you can also kick underneath  it to open it up we've got 490 L of space in here   your charging ke go down here there's quite a bit  of space there and it goes through quite far and   you can also put down the back seats from inside  by pressing these so that's cool so you can slide   through stuff without any issues we obviously  got hooks and tether points and we've got a   nice little loading lip here which will help you  when you're moving stuff in there isn't as much   stakes in here as on the petrol versions which  is 520 L but I don't think you could argue that   you're lacking for space considering this is an EV  and we've got all the space inside as well in this   model of car these wheels are very cool not only  are they 21 in but they've got a modular design   where this middle section here can actually come  out and that improves the aerodynamics but if you   want to have it even sportier you can remove them  and have them with a slightly different design at   the back here there is a lot of space I'm 1 M 7  I got tons of space here tons of space in front   of my knees these are the seating positions to  the front we've got a USBC on the back of each   seat we've got a little mounting Point here which  you can slide up and down and we've got a touch   sensitive screen here which allows you to adjust  the temperature back here and a little space here   for storage we can of course pull down this and  we've got some cup holders which is nice to see   and these are very comfortable seats and this  big panoramic glass roof really helps with the   airiness inside the car I've swapped sides to  the passenger seat so you can see a bit better   some of the tech inside this car so first of all  let's start with the steering wheel this steering   wheel I love this steering wheel in the times  when Audi seem to be moving all their steering   wheels to round Wheels which I don't feel are as  sporty although if I'm being balanced or Porsches   have round wheels so maybe I'm wrong but anyway I  really like this design I love that it is squared   off at the bottom I love the metallic design  I love that the buttons they actual physical   buttons with wheels on them I think that's great I  just think that the car overall is very very welld   designed talking about the rest of the interior in  here we've got this cool Crystal control so I can   control the infotainment system which I'll show  you in a bit more detail in a minute we've got a   crystal button here to control or lever I should  say to control the gear this screen which curves   which is a design which Mercedes I think had  first and which you can now find on KY as well   looks really really good and it accentuates the  fantastic IC entertainment system which BMW have   and as a first this is one of the first cars which  can display Android auto on the digital driver's   display other manufacturers will show an arrow to  show you which way to go but they won't actually   physically display the map in the middle this is  a very very cool feature which I love and it also   works with apple carplay too so hats after BMW  for being the one of the first manufa if not the   first to integrate that because it makes a big  big difference when driving the other thing this   car has which is absolutely incredible is Apple's  car key technology now only Genesis and Hyundai   on some models also use this technology right now  although it will be coming unfill to others and it   allows you to create a car key on your iPhone and  share it with other people so if you want to lend   your car to a friend or a family member you could  can just send them the car key remotely over your   phone now it is encrypted and you can give and  remove the access as you want to you can send   restrictions to what time they can get in the car  and even to the speed that they can go so you've   got a lot of control over it but it's great to  know oh you forgot your car for some reason in   a car park somewhere maybe on a holiday and the  plane changed to a different location different   airport is diverted and you want somebody to  collect your car well now even though they   don't have an actual physical key they can use  the Apple car key if they have an iPhone that   family member or friend to come and collect your  car and take it to wherever you need to go so it's   a very very cool feature and something which I  absolutely love and which I'm really impressed   with BMW integrates into their car now let's take  a more detailed look at the actual infotainment   system now I'm going to swap positions and  move the camera behind me and let's look at   it this is really what I'm excited to talk about  so let's talk a bit about some of the technology   in here so first of all let's look look at this  interaction bar so this allows you to see colors   which change and it goes all the way across the  car you see this beautiful carbon fiber trim on   this option as well and I have to physically press  the buttons to action those buttons you can see   everything flashes red now like the bud seal did  something similar not with the hazard light so   just with the music but I do like that and then  we can actually turn up the fan here as well by   pressing the zero and the one and then adjust in  it incrementally which is great so I like that   too very clever we've got a nice big display here  we've got another big display in the middle now I   wanted to show you the integration of Android auto  because I think that's really really important   so let's say I want to navigate somewhere so  let's navigate to okay Google navigate to BMW UK okay there's a BMW UK 0.3 so we're going to  click on BMW UK we're going to hit the navigate   button here we turn off the sound cuz I don't  want it talking over the top of me and you can   see I have this overview here over the top now I  can change it to perspective or turn by turn view   I can turn it to North up or I can go to overview  now normally I don't like this design because   the problem with that design is quite obviously  you can't actually tell where you're going very   clearly in this example it's fine but if it's a  long route with lots of turns and on top of each   other it can be hard to see one of the things  I don't like on a Tesla but here you can see in   front of me I have turn by turn directions on the  digital driver display from Android auto how cool   is that I really really am impressed with that I  think it is a fantastic bit of technology and it   allows us to see that turn by turn information  and an overhead view and I can see my music in   the corner as well and enjoy that too so I mean I  love that BMW thank you very much it also works on   Apple carplay too I can change through the modes  as well on this system and also we have a headup   display which also by the way shows you can't  see that but also shows turn by turn directions   up there as well so we're not by any means limited  to what we can see and then if I tap on the little   button for the settings so on content do I want  just our turn by turn navigation do I want AR   mode do I want to have our Google Maps overview  do I want to have our sports mode do I want to   have music and then we can sweep to the side here  we can change the layout so we can make it either   one-sided or two-sided or in the middle here so  again really nice and then we can adjust what is   showing in the headup display too do I want our  assisted view do I want our sporty view so again   you know nice and easy to change between all of  this information I think it's quite a good thing   that we we can do that and we can show that there  I really do like that and then at the bottom here   we have our normal home button so we can tap  on that to go through our app overview now it   is interesting that BMW do have an app overview  here where you can see all of the apps including   information obviously about the vehicle but also  we got stuff like Spotify and I can log in with my   BMW ID and use Spotify I can also go through and  I can see the weather that is the weather right   now it's cold which is why I have gloves on on  them outside we can look at video so if I got a   BMW ID set up YouTube again I have to log in with  a BMW ID but you can see how it works and we've   got a carplay icon too and we've got air console  which will let me play games in the car so it's   going to download air console now hopefully in a  few minutes I can show you how it works it's just   a very very intuitive system if I tap the music  button it will take me to Android auto if I tap   the navigation button again it to Android auto our  climate control is here as well nice and simple to   do and I can turn it up and turn it down or turn  it off it's cold so let's turn it back on here so   you know I can't criticize this in any way this is  super simple to use it's just a fantastic system   which gives you an overview of everything we got a  separate enertainment section there which gives us   entertainment stuff and then we've got our vehicle  settings separate we've got our personal assistant   on BMW and we've got suggestions and lots of these  functions need to be logged in with a BMW ID but   you can just see how easy this system is to use  it's just fantastic and it's a delight to use it   so I love the fact that you can use your phone to  see what's going on around the car so we've got a   remote functionality here where I can click  on it and it will show me what is around the   car now obviously I can also to add my car key  to the car using the technology with Apple car   key and you can see here I can see all the way  around the car I've got back door open slightly   so I can't see that but it's pretty cool I can  see that in my phone on the car and I can see   the location so what about inside the car let's  take a 5sec video to say hello how you doing I'm   making a YouTube video for Tech in the car nice  to see you on the channel and again a very very   cool bit of technology and it's now downloading  the video to my phone and I will be able to see   myself on here so another really cool feature here  here we go video successfully downloaded and you   can see myself talking to the camera there  we go inside the car and let's play the game now reminds me of being in Arizona here oh yes  come on you can play games on here that's fun so   the tech on this car is mind blowingly good with  all of it involved in here and this interaction   bar which is a fantastic feature and also adjust  with the ambient lighting Let's test the 0 to 60   time it should be 6 seconds we've got about  335 340 horsepower 400 Newt MERS of torque   let's go we're in sport mode 0 to 60 let's  go how fast will it be it feels like we've   got some good acceleration but will it be good  acceleration so the answer to that is we did it in 5.14 seconds so faster than the 0 to 60 time that  it says that's pretty impressive that's good job   BMW how is driving the new I5 how does it feel  Comm other electric cars and all of the technology   inside here let's see how it is so the first thing  I'll say to you is again I love the steering wheel   in this car I think it's fantastic it's maybe  a bit chunkier than I'd like but like I could   happily use a steering wheel all day long these  modes are incredible they really are and when I   change between the modes we're in sport mode now  you can see the interaction bar changes colors   which is really really incredible to see I love  that the way it goes all the way across I don't   know if interaction bar is really overselling  what it is it's basically just a colored light   across the entire cup but it looks the part and I  do like that and we can change between the modes   of different Drive modes relax which adjust the  seats into a more relaxed position but let's go   into our normal mode now let's just go into our  personal mode where we have of course the ability   to have Android auto on both the digital driers  display and the car here which is really really   handy and great so actually what does it feel like  driving the car between the modes I wouldn't say   that I noticed much difference we have got 21 in  wheels on this car it does start with 19 so you   can get 19 on the 5 series I do feel it's a bit  bouncy when you're going down car Parks earlier   when I was filming so I would say that it's a bit  bouncy on there but on a normal Road like this now   it really is very very easy to drive and it's  very very comfortable and the driver assistance   technology and the information it gives you is  great as an electric car this is a car which   is supremely easy to drive if I turn on the lane  assist and adaptive cruise control it knows what   the speed limit is it sets it for me and it does  the job in certain countries such as Germany this   can be either level two or level three autonomous  which means it can essentially drive itself hands   off the wheel and you don't even have to look at  what you're doing now that technology is built   into this car is just obviously not working in  the UK but it can change lanes by itself it can   overtake by itself and really in terms of safety  because this is what technology is all about it's   all about making the car safe is a technology in  this car there is a benefit to us as people as   drivers to the people around us driving down the  roads walking down the roads but in terms of the   actual experience this is a super super refined  easy to drive car that can do what you need it   to do and with its 400 Newt meters of tall and  it's 335 340 horsepower as you saw it can do 0   to 60 pretty quickly in about 5 and a half seconds  let's try out the reversing system so this isn't   new to BMW but it is pretty cool so I just drove  around a corner and the car is now going to take   me back to where I came now I use my hand off the  wheels here but I do use the accelerator pedal to   take me back again this is not a new feature but  it's very cool that it's there and you can see it   showing me exactly how far I am between the cars  and it just records this information automatically   and it will take me back to where I started now  this is great if you park in a tight parking space   if you're in a tight car park if you don't know  exactly where the wall is but you got in fine but   you're worried maybe about getting out or maybe  you're distracted maybe you've got a family in   the car you pared the tight parking space in a  shopping center and you're worried you can't get   out without the family distracting you and you're  hitting something well no problems now this will   take us right back to where we started quite  happily this is a fantastic fantastic feature   that BMW and only BMW has one other cool feature  of this car which you shouldn't forget is there   is actually one paddle on the left hand side which  feels a bit weird when there are two paddles but   it's got a boost mode so if you hit that for 10  seconds you get extra boost and power so that's   a pretty cool feature so for overtaking not that  this car is lacking in power in normal mode or in   sports mode anyway but you can use a boost mode  to get even more and it gives you a count down   on the screen you know a bit of a gimmick but  using technology to make it fun so the answer   to the question is technology something which you  should be excited about or nervous about and does   the I5 give you the best of that so absolutely  if we're talking about what the I5 gives you it   gives you the absolute best in technology what  BMW are doing especially with the way that it   integrates Android auto and carplate into  the digital driver's display which is one   of the first manufacturers to do that without  running on Android automotive because this is   not an Android automotive system the way that  you can share your car key through your iPhone   the way it really seamlessly integrates with your  phone no matter what you have it's really really   good and then the reverse assist the ability to  play games in here the fact that you just got   everything it means this car will be a lot safer  to drive with all that technology and you'll have   a better experience technology is something  we all need to be open to and if you watch   my videos on this channel I'm trying to show you  how it works what it does and what's good about   it as well as showing you the cars and telling  you all about them and sharing my experiences   if you found this video useful please give me  a thumbs up And subscribe to the channel and   let me know what you think of the I5 and check  out my other Ev videos I got a ton of them on   the channel by clicking on one of these popup  bits wherever they are in a minute thanks for watching
