      Spot on. Any decent UA-camr can produce a video review at almost no cost. Democratization of car reviews. Legacy publishers like TG, with massive cost structures, are ailing as they can't differentiate. They can't afford to take chances, but haven't realized that they go out of biz in the mid-term unless they do so. (TG, best to lower your cost structure if you wish to survive. The game has changed, and party over.)

    Everyone is complaining about the weight and it's a lot but listen to the latest TST with Jonny Lieberman. He explains the reason its posted weight is so heavy is bc of a new EU law that requires manf to weigh the car with all fluids, 90% full tank, 1 passenger that weighs Xkg, cargo that weighs Xkg, and the car has to be fully optioned out (aka heavier). So the posted weight is not the actual weight of the car.

    Watching the first half of this, I was thinking does an M5 owner want all that depreciation, weight and plug-in stuff, or does he (I assume) want something purer, and more nimble? He might prefer something more straightforward, involving and attractive, like an earlier version. Then you produced the E34. I suspect I'd have fun in the new M5, but would probably go for an E34, or even rarer E39 Touring, if I could find one.

    This is exactly the kind of car Harry Metcalfe was talking about in his latest video; and the kind of damage vehicles like this are doing to the enthusiast. People are losing interest in new cars. I'm one of them, and there are many. The best cars ever made were built years ago. This new G90 M5 and the Mercedes W206 C63 are poster-children for how disappointing the future is.

    Its amazing how much bollocks people talk about a car because of what it weighs... the truth is if BMW told you its 1.8ton you would believe them, its stupid fast with so much torque it gets up and goes like 99.9 percent of people will never experience, easily enough to scare most 3-5 year old supercars, and by all accounts it corners amazing and flat, has so much grip from its AWD, seats 5 in comfort plus all your baggage. Im struggling to understand the downside, this will go around corners carrying so much more speed than say your average focus ST it will be almost embarrassing so like... who really cares about the weight if the components around that weight deal with it absolutely fine, an mx5 probably leans more in corners than this thing.

    Following on from Tom’s comment about the fact you might as well go full EV, please do me a huge favour and race one of these against an I5 M60. Despite being just over 100bhp down, I’m really curious to see how that shakes out. The new M5 is an unfortunate exercise in compliance and regulations - they make it this way because they have to, not because they want to.

    It makes more sense, in the same way that dropping an anvil on your face makes more sense if you once met a blacksmith...yeah, it does, but we're setting the bar pretty low in that regard...
    There's a lot I don't hate about this car. The styling is far from BMW's worst lately. Again, low bar, it's not pretty, but I wouldn't be embarrassed by it.
    I drove a G80 M3 over the weekend and I realised something. For road use, the weight is irrelevant. Not because I don't think it's stupid, but because at "normal" speeds they don't drive like M cars anyway - outside a track, the M3 is what the M340i should be, quick but not fun (if you find the M3 fun on a road, you're either doing something illegal or haven't ever driven a fun car). On that basis, the M5 shouldn't be seen as an M5, perhaps it's quite a good M550i...
    Of course, I don't want a 2.5 tonne M550i, so I don't want this. A modern E39, sure, but that doesn't exist. A 320i or an M340i is a very reasonable choice, but this is a status symbol, for people whose status is "I don't really have a clue how to drive, but I have a dog." Who will buy it? People who should have bought a slower estate, but wanted to piss off their neighbours. Good for them, I'll buy something fun instead.

      @@billymays7210 To be fair, the 7 series is indeed also lighter than this 🤣 Even the 760e is 2560kg, so 15kg less.
      A white rhino is also lighter, as is a Bentley Bentayga...and a Giulia QV, towing a trailer, with a Cessna on it.

    RS6 performance is way better. If i wanted sedan i would go for panamera turbo or turbo s. Previous version was crushing panamera in almost every sense. Previous version before LCI could even have night vision which is still not available (audi and mercedes have this option).

    We are not in 1992 anymore, with the regulations this was possible to make. A manual V10 N/A with 1600kg would have been better? Yes, but you need to pay than much much more and than that would have been the problem. We need to accept these new cars or go and buy something from the past, simple.
