    BMW M5 Hybrid G90 Review: Does the Extra Weight Kill the M5’s Legacy? Welcome back to RBR, and today is all about the #BMWM #M5 hybrid G90. This is the seventh-generation model and it's a whole new concept combining a 585HP V8 engine with a 197hp electric motor. But despite the impressive figures of 727HP and 1000NM -- everyone is crying fowl of the weight figure. And rightly so, it’s almost 500kg heaver than the last M5! Will that extra bulk ruin its typical #bmw driving dynamics? Let's find out!
    Today I will drive the car in Munich, and we will put it through it’s paces: ncluding its 0-60 time (claimed 3.5 seconds and tested on launch) and see if the chassis tech can keep it sharp on the road despite its size and weight.
    In this video, we need to answer the big questions:
    Is the M5 Hybrid still the driving machine we need it to be?
    Does the hybrid system make it slower than the old M5 as figures suggest?
    Is the M3 not a better alternative now?
    I’ll also go over the basis of the car with you again as I peel back the skin and explain how the hybrid system works, as well as why BMW’s approach to the battery position etc may be better than rivals. I’m also keen to test out the electric mode which gives 197HP and 280NM of torque from its electric motor, powered by an 18.6 kW battery. Apparently it offers a range of 43 miles, something i’ll also confirm today!
    Despite the added weight, the car features the best M has to offer in terms of underpinnings: we have M xDrive with an active M differential, drift mode, and a near-actuator slip limiter, as well as adaptive M suspension with electronic dampers at each wheel. Rear-wheel steering (1.5 degrees) adds to the car’s agility, and there’s been significant chassis stiffening to improve handling, along with a rigid mounted variable steering rack.
    So, with all that M DNA packed in, will the weight really kill it? Can the BMW M5 Hybrid live up to its legendary predecessors? Watch to find out!

      Merc learned their lesson with the EQ lineup they quietly discontinued for 25. Glad BMW didn’t go there… although, that XM looks SICK in person.
      In 26, the V8 will be returning to AMG with the 48v electrified hybrid engine after some body modifications. They’ve prepped it nicely with the AMG I6 in the new CLE53. Still, different body styles, different weights.
      I hope they get slapped with the poor sales of 2.0L I4… WHY they decided to bastardize the C, E and GLC 63’s with a 2.0L I4 knowing damn well they’re going to release the V8 and the I6 in future AMG 63 and 53-respectively, is completely beyond me. 🤮

    Best review I've seen of this car yet. Glad you made it clear that this is the way the industry is going. BMW had no choice but to use the hybrid system in the new M5. It was either that or something full electric. The fact of the matter is that this car will be driven by rich businessmen who will use this to fly on the Autobahn between meetings. The new M5 has that, plus it is now more usable than older M5s with the hybrid system.
    I am personally not a fan of hybrid systems, but if you have a place where you can always charge the car, it makes the most sense. This is going to attract a lot more buyers, as now people have a more usable M5. Plus, you save money if you use one as a company car.
    I really don't get it when people say it has no soul. The M5 hasn't had a soul since the E60 with the V10. Since the F10, the M5 has always been a bit muted.
    The weight is a penalty, but there are many more upsides than downsides to the new M5. What do you expect BMW to do? They managed to work with what they have, and they've done a much better job than AMG when they tried to use hybrid technology.
    And to those who say it looks ugly, see one in person and you will change your mind. I live less than 10 minutes away from the M headquarters and I see a load of these being tested every day. They have so much presence.

No auto manufacturer builds a shitty car, just remember that if M had their way, they would also rather have pure ICE car than something hybrid or fully electric. Just remember, bmw don’t build cars for fans, they build them for customers. And I’d bet your bottom dollar that most people who buy these M5s are not enthusiasts, but are people who want to have the speed, luxury and brand of a BMW M product. These are the people that buy the cars. We, the enthusiasts, will cry that bmw don’t make small light naturally aspirated monsters, but bmw won’t listen to us.

    A couple opinions as a BMW fanboy and F10 owner: At this weight level, with room to spare by putting the battery in the floor, there is no argument against giving it a DCT. If the new M235i gets one, shouldn't any full blown M car get it too? Also as you said, the hybrid system adds ~ 4-500kg. Had they opted for no electrification, or even a smaller and lighter battery pack, I think with a just a bit more tuning trickery and ECU mapping making "only" low to mid 600 bhp, it would have been a drastically more dynamic drive, especially with a DCT. Regulations be damned i suppose. Still, I'm happy this exists in this day and age and excited to see what the touring will be like.

    For $100k, which is still less than MSRP of this, you can get a AMG GT63s and give it a RennTech 1000hp kit… idk man. It’s a little pointless to pay more money for less performance. Unless you like eating the hit of 30% depreciation to say “I hAvE a NeW car” then I guess to each their own.

    My feeling is that the 0-100 figure doesn’t really matter. You’re going sub 3.2 secs, but remember that the market is different.
    The M5 for me is an adult family’s supper saloon/ grand tourer.
    My key points are as follows:
    1. 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration times aren't the only measure of a car's worth.
    2. The M5 is positioned as a comfortable, family-friendly grand tourer.
    3. M3/M2 models cater to a more performance-oriented, youthful demographic.
    BMW for me has successfully segmented and differentiated this car from the rest of their offering. Perhaps its CS sibling will deal with the M3/M4 market. The rest of us may just want the power and the comfort. We won’t miss its “chuck ability”
    For me they’ve done the following just the way I like it:
    1. M5: Emphasizes comfort, luxury, and everyday usability.
    2. M3/M2: Focuses on raw performance, agility, and driving excitement.
    This distinction:
    1. Allows BMW to target specific customer profiles.
    2. Creates a clear product hierarchy.
    3. Enhances brand loyalty among diverse customers.
    Let’s remember the subjective nature of performance metrics.
    2. The importance of considering market context.
    3. BMW's ability to balance performance and practicality.

    To be honest the design is growing faster than first thought.... however something still needs to be done about the out of place rear diffuser boxes sitting above the exhausts. Then slightly lowered with some aggressive concave wheels like the m6 gran coupe will finish it off. The battery will no doubt be a concern for someone looking to buy this used? Wonder what the bmw warranty will be for that. Performance wise seems we have reached the pinnacle since the f90. Saw the video of this side by side with f90 and that shows how far this has actually come, can imagine will be more in the flesh. The weight shouldn't be a concern as m5's aren't tracked anyway. The price then makes it a no brainer over its competitors.

    Even though the car camouflages the weight like magic, the tires has to handle the weight. Even the G80 M3 struggle's with its weight on track, and melts the tires after 2-3 laps. So for driving on the street, yes this car possibly works great, but tracking it on the weekends, that's another story, and would probably cost you a set of tires in 5 rounds:-)

    Absolutely spot on, commuting in the F90 is such a waste of performance and fuel, the hybrid system makes so much sense, especially in stop / start traffic; steady away when you're off to work, full throttle when you find a decent stretch of road.

    Lets get this fact out of the way, BMW M5 owners are not looking to save money on gas/petrol. If you can afford a M5, driving EV mode to save money on gas is not high on a typical M5 owner wish list. They prefer driving dynamics (performance, light weight) in a sedan. This is why I have read the next M3 will have an ICE and no hybrid because of this very reason.
    Last, I heard of all the noise about M5 owners do not track their M5s, (I track my '22 M5 Comp a few times; if that is the case, how many M5 owners use 717Hp on public roads?

      The real reason for the range was to evade the EU regulations so it can pass off as a legitimate hybrid car...that saved it and allowed it to have a V8

      Ford is using this very strategy with their EVs and the traditional GT/Dark Horse coupe. The EV sales satisfy government regulations by reducing Ford's overall fleet emissions, and this gives them leeway to make the "dirty" Coyote V8-powered Mustangs that enthusiasts love.
