Personally, I find the 80s Japanese car style door handles to be a put off.

The industry gradually phased that out in the 90s, 00s precisely because it is cheap looking.

 

I dislike the reversion of handles to this as well.. it’s also less practical and can only be opened by gripping from bottom.. perhaps I’m already used to gripping the door handles from the top like a handle bar but it feels a lot more natural to me..

 

I’ve noticed that the 520i and i5’s ambient lighting is drastically different but not pointed out in any spec sheet as they just simply call it ambient light

Sori...just in the mood...

Lomantic vs erotic ambient 🙏😁

I think Koreans also all touch. Toyota is the one that has largely remaining with buttons. And it helps a lot when you are driving and a physical button is needed. At least you know you pressed it without having to visually confirm. 
the worse are those touch slider volume control. Knn to the one who designed it for a car.

Whoever who approved the design or the rear aircon vents really hates his/her employer... Air vent design does not flow with the rest of the cabin and front blowers, like a sore thumb sticking out that you can't help but notice it the first thing when u see the cabin.

Ppl used to laugh at hankook. But look at them now

So dun see Tourador no up ok? Cheena drop price many manufacturers will take them up as OEM. Plus got sticker…..

Hankook have come a long way, i think their higher end tyres are quite decent.

My previous car came with Hankook (evo S1 RFT). Thereafter i changed to the Pirelli P7 RFT and i don't think the Hankook is any inferior in wet and dry driving.

 

 

.... or maybe i drive too slowly 🤣

Not sure if its just me, I also find the door shut quality to be poor for a car like the 5 series.

I agree with the news article above. The previous gen does feel more like a BMW.
