The BMW 5 Series: A Review Cut Short by a Prankster's Mischief

As I sat down to review the new BMW 5 series, I was excited to put it through its paces. The car looked sleek and sporty, and I had heard great things about its performance. However, my enthusiasm was short-lived as we quickly realized that we were stuck with a problem of our own making. We left the key in the car while filming some exterior shots, and when I went to show off the soft closed doors, the car locked itself with the key still inside.

This unexpected turn of events put us behind schedule, and we knew we had to act fast to make up for lost time. But as it turned out, our predicament was more than just a minor inconvenience - it was a test of the car's advanced features. Specifically, we were eager to see if the BMW app would allow us to remotely unlock the car in case of an emergency. It seemed that this feature might be available, but only if we had linked the car to our phones beforehand.

As we waited for BMW UK to investigate the issue, I couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration. I had assumed that modern cars were designed with features like automatic locking and unlocking, which would prevent such mishaps from occurring. But it seemed that this particular model was not immune to such problems. The infotainment system on display looked like it was still in its testing phase, and the car's behavior was erratic at best.

Just as we were starting to lose hope, a colleague in the office called us with some surprising news. It turned out that our own editor-in-chief had been playing a prank on us all along - he had used the BMW app to lock the car remotely, just for fun. We were shocked and amused by this revelation, and it made us realize that we had indeed underestimated the power of this feature.

In the end, we were able to recover from our mishap and complete our review of the BMW 5 series. While the car itself was impressive, with a smooth ride and responsive handling, its quirks and limitations became apparent during our time with it. But one thing was clear: the BMW app is capable of some amazing feats - including remote unlocking, which could be a lifesaver in an emergency situation.

As we wrapped up our review and said goodbye to the BMW 5 series, I couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for the editor-in-chief's creativity. While his prank may have wasted half an hour of our time, it also served as a reminder that even in the most unexpected situations, there is always room for innovation and entertainment. And who knows? Maybe one day we'll be able to use this feature to rescue ourselves from similar predicaments.

The Geneva Motor Show 2017: Behind the Scenes

In the midst of our review, I couldn't help but think about the bigger picture - the upcoming Geneva Motor Show, where we had planned to showcase some exciting new cars. As it turned out, our adventures with the BMW 5 series were just the beginning of a wild ride behind the scenes. We had been invited to experience some of the most cutting-edge technology in the automotive world, and we weren't about to let anything get in the way.

As we set up our equipment for the review, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. We were on the cusp of something big, and nothing was going to stop us from getting it done. But little did we know that our editor-in-chief had other plans - plans that would put our review in jeopardy and leave us scrambling to make up for lost time.

In the end, our adventures behind the scenes at the Geneva Motor Show were just as memorable as our review of the BMW 5 series. We got to experience some incredible cars, meet fascinating people, and even stumbled upon a Mercedes E-Class that would test our limits in ways we never could have imagined. It was a wild ride, full of twists and turns - but one thing's for sure: we'll be back, and next time, it won't be cut short by a prankster's mischief.
