Last time i was in an M5 it was 2018, which was when we first got the F90 generation
And today we’re driving the facelifted F90 as it enters the final year before the next generation..which should include hybridization. So thanks to International BMW for letting me have a go so we can have a proper look at what be the final non-electrified M5
The BMW M5, the golden example of what a luxury sports sedan can and maybe should be
The pedigree that comes with the M5 name is unparalleled
E39, E60, and F90
It’s hard not to like this car
It’s fast, sounds great, looks good, and has a great and practical interior
Let’s dive under the skin. The M5 gets the 4.4TT V8 S63 engine, but this is the Competition spec which means boost, and thus power, are dialed up to 617hp and 553 lbft and all that power goes through the tremendous shift logic that BMW has programmed into the ZF 8 speed that we’;re so familiar with
And not only that, but the sound that accompanies the power is UNreal
And it doesn’t even matter if it’s sunny or snowing, you’ve got standard xDrive AWD which gets all the power down
At least, until you want to play around
You have 4WD, 4WD sport, AND 2WD so technically, since you can send all the power to the back, does that make this a 4WD or 4x4?
If so, this is the fastest 4x4 I’ve ever driven!
Jokes aside, the capability and speed that you get from the M5 rivals supercars from even only a couple years ago. 0-60 in 3.2 seconds, adaptive sport suspension, M LSD differential, M brakes
And all that with 2 weeks worth of Costco groceries in the trunk and 2 kids in the back
The english coined a term for a car like this that fits properly: super saloon
And it is
It does obviously feel heavy
but it’s as sharp as a knife
Powerful as river rapids
Sounds like thunder
And yet…
All of that can be dailed down and relaxed to something that somehow still manages to be a plush, comfortable, luxury sedan
The balance that this car pulls off is unreal
Supposedly future 5 series will only be I6…except the M5
Forged wheels
Lowered sports suspension
M compound brakes
Carbon ceramic brakes
Carbon roof
Design
Digital cluster
Black
Light up seats
Ambient light
Materials
nice
Luxury features
Heated and cooled
Heated wheel
Heated rear seats?
Technology
HUD
M buttons
Gesture control
Augmented reality 360 cameras
iDrive 7, not 8
12.3 in
Wireless ACP & AA
Good autopilot
Space/comfort/rear/trunk - Авто та транспорт
This is the one why it's called the Ultimate Driving Machine
@Aim4TheHead Whatchu mean “competition cs” ? CS stand for *Competition Sport*
@Aim4TheHead the CS is stupid. The M5 is a family sedan that has great performance. You are not supposed to get bucket seats (in the front and back) for your family. That shit is mad uncomfortable. The M3 and M4 make sense for bucket seats. Not the M5.
@@EastSideMans Well thats because u dont have one to tell the difference.
U forgot the f10
I want to buy this year M5 comp 2023 model,but i need help..
Does 2023 comp models have opf ????
I've been extremely lucky to have had the 2017 RS6 C7, 2020 E63 S and at the moment I'm daily driving a 2020 BMW M5 Comp. Here's my take:
RS6:
Good amount of power, straight line speed is great and decent comfort. Understeers like crazy when driving hard on track. Transmission was decent. Not really confidence-inspiring on a track. No drama, but a solid daily (especially since it's wagon) with decent fuel economy for a V8. Low mileage but still had issues with driveshaft and turbo that ended up getting replaced. Interior quality felt dated but definitely solid.
E63 S:
Muscle brute. Extremely dramatic and tons of character. Crazy power. Less comfort suspension-wise but the seats were on a different level than in my previous RS6. When you start to push the car a bit more it tends do be very playful. Handling was good and precise enough to have some level of confidence going through a corner, although you feel the car getting upset in slow-medium speed corners due to weight and slightly unbalanced suspension. But very very fun.
Interior quality was a bummer, lots of creaking and cheap feeling plastics. Ofcourse that beautiful engine makes up for all that. After all, it's a cruiser. It's not REALLY meant to be taking corners. Autobahn-monster. Only issues I had were interior-related. Panels coming off and infotainment issues.
M5 Competition:
Ultimate driving machine. It's the perfect blend of my previous cars. Crazy power, good comfort and handling is WILD after having driven an E63S. Not as dramatic as an E63 but still playful enough. The M5 Comp is super precise in almost every aspect. Almost too perfect. It unfortunately loses some of that roughness and wild character that the E63S had.
The M5's suspension is more track focused and it shows. Body roll is almost non-existent and the cornering speeds are immense (running on PS4S tires) and with some black magic it's still comfortable. Seats are also extremely adjustable and gets you in a perfect position.
My CC brakes are very powerful and have better feel compared to the CC-brakes in the E63. It lacks a bit in steering, where I almost can't get ANY steering feel at all compared to the Merc. Interior is super solid. So the car itself.. It's a bit more mature, a bit more grown-up than the E63. And right now I'm very happy with it.
This review was so...precise, immaculate, you should do reviews for shure. Nobody talked this good and at the same time this short while giving such good informations and precisely without talking for nothing. I thank you immensely.
M5 is also the best looking
How's the steering feel in RWD mode only? I believe the AWD capability kills the steering feel and the BMWs 70:30 rear:front power ratio isn't quite optimum in my opinion. The suspension set up doesn't feel like it matches the front weight either...the M5CS fixes these issues much better.
If you can manage to mod the damping and compression ratios aswell as natural frequency..actually just get another suspension set up closer to the m5cs standards..should work like magic with the steering feel
@@ertugrulbae46 I wish I knew as much as y’all about the intricacies of cars godamn
@@SmackYoBaby tbh I haven't got a clue what's going on. It's either things I've heard from hard-core car guys..I'm just saying the same stuff. I spent a decent amount of time watching car/racing mod channels.
The mechanical side is mostly from sim computer games LOL
Irl it's a bit tough having a car setup, testing it and waiting for results. Tweaking. Repeating tests etc. In sim games that accurately model physics models such as suspension, tyre weight etc...its a lot easier fine tuning.
The M5 has the perfect exterior styling 👌
The performance is obviously fantastic too. The only compromise I see is real or perceived reliability concerns related to the V8.
There’s always something isn’t there. With the M3 it’s the face only a mother could love… until I saw the iX - that makes the grill look good by comparison. In all fairness, however, the M3 grill has grown on me. But I don’t see the value proposition in buying an M3when I could have an M340 for half the price.
In Germany the 340i starts from around 72.000€, the M3 comp. from 95.000€. So not quite twice the price here but as a daily the 340i is the obvious winner, no doubt - If you don't go on track and don't need the bragging rights and attention the M3 gets you of course.
the g series m3 and m4 look stunning in person
It look much better than M3
Tbh M3 in real life doesn't look half bad. If you decide to whack on Vorsteiner GT3 style split grille..it looks epic.
@@ertugrulbae46 It look better for this split grill but still hard to say it is beautiful. Thanks.
Best 4 door sedan ever
This is one of the few remaining beautiful designs for BMW.
Yeah they've massacred the 2, 3 and 4 series 🙄
@@drmanhattan5219 agreed. I’m still digging the x3, x5. But the cars are pretty ugly.
They are on the way of massacring the 5 also. Probably won’t look as ugly as the most recent spawn from hell that bmw recently birthed but won’t have the look that most of us love. Hopefully I’m wrong though and this thing comes better than before.😅
@@bigodelock5832 i even loved the Chris bangle era, but recently they have slowly sucked away my passion and love for BMW. They lost their design touch. It’s just sad!
Such a beautiful machine. Love the review
Great Video! I really expected way more views, keep up the high quality content.
Your music selection is impeccable.
My compliments to the editor.
Great video!! Very informative, keep up the wicked job.
Since this M5, those Angel Eyes in the headlights have to be called devils eyes for sure...
That black spec looks absolutely wicked
Amazing review!
Looks fantastic!
Good job and thanks for your insight boy your lucky to have driven it😊
8:47 that is something of the best ive ever heard
Great review. Thanks
Just picked up my 22 Comp in frozen marina bay blue. Absolute beast love it
enjoy it bro, such a privilige
NICE informative video
Nice video, I think it would technically be selectable AWD. That’s what the owners manual says on the sprinter, though mb markets as a 4x4
Peasant blockers! 😂 I’m so using that
Agh, man it’s so damn beautiful. It’s been my favorite car since childhood. Goals. My time will come. 🙏🏽☝️
Good Job Mr.
Absolute dream car.. One can only dream too..
A big fan of this machine ❤️🔥
You don't get this sound in European markets since somewhere near mid-2019 sadly...
And we never got the loud M performance exhaust either
I love mine. I just wish they would make a 6.6L V12 version. I know they M760 exists but direct extrapolation from 600 w/4.4 would get us to 900 w/6.6!
Godamn that front end brings a tear to my eye. This is a real bmw, not whatever that m4 team tried to pull. You see the tradition, what we as fans grew to love. You see the bmw identity. Somone take all the designers put them in a room and tell them “this is bmw, don’t deviate”
Can’t wait to buy this in 6 years
i think its unfortunate that the drive modes have been moved into the screen instead of having physical buttons. when you drive you want to control it in real time, in a tactile sense, not playing around w/ the screens
ahhh🥵that colour🥶
This car and a mk4 Supra Are going to be cars that people look back at when reality hits us
The best car ever made 🤛🏽
Runka gott! Vilken bil!
Does it have plastic engine parts?
My lord it sounds phenomenal. Pure masculine energy right there.
Such a good design
You forgot the best chasis F10 M5 with DCT
Soon I will get that car and keep it for ever as a summer ride ! I don't care bmw is the one for me 🥰
Milwaukee, Wisconsin?
I'm very afraid that this will be the last M5 without their new design philosophy, looks great still.
Yes, the new front end, the current M3 is Fugly. I will have to get a spare one.
Special thanks to our Patrons for their support of the channel!
Excellent video as always
Interior so sick 😩😩😩😩😵😵😵💯
xD the distinguished hooligans ride.. I love it
Will be getting one soon
BMW should have build the i4 M50 on the M5 car... Look those Sunshade and rear seat room, would be easily a Tesla Model 3 Killer!
😂did you Slam the door !!??
I really hope BMW keeps the V8 for a MY2025. My M3 lease will be over in 2024 and i want to get into an M5 as long as it still has the V8. I don't care if it has a mild hybrid system with it, that just means even more performance. As long as it still has that 4.4TT V8. Please BMW! Do one more run with the V8!
Looks like every other bmw… nice
Yes, it is.
It’s actually a toss up between the 2023 M5 and the 2023 M140i🤔 never been interested in the 1Series but the new ones have my interest
If you are comparing a M5 to a M140i, you belong in the M140 lol.
M8 👍🏾
Thank You Almighty God I will buy one for myself
Looks awesome but i really miss angel eyes.
it sounds like a diesel truck at 3:11
You know what I think when I see someone driving a brand new M car down the road, they just got screwed with dealer ADM. I am keeping my 21 M8 with 1.99% interest and my 22 X6M with 2.3%. This new car market is out of control. Beautiful car though
Lovely car but why is it not in a touring version?
because unfortunately I live in the states where we don't get magnificent estate cars
The only thing that upsets me is that by the time I become rich, I wont be able to buy this brand new from dealership.
A little bit faster than my tesla model 3 with performance boost😅
Best car ever
best 5 ever, F90 and G30 LCI
🙏
What were BMW thinking? Ok ok let’s make a 5 door family saloon, but also make it able to go light speed.
Im sure it won’t be straight six. Bmw m themselves left a comment with 8 of 🎩 these emojis under many reviews. That’s quite clear and to me it means the old engine plus electric power unit nothing else. That’s how the xm will be as well
does M5 CS 2023 exist?
No.
how does this compare to M5 CS? would I miss anything?
around 15 hp more than this and a lot more carbon fibre which makes the CS lighter than this
@@Pushketa90 thank you
@@Warrior11117 you do lose out on some creature comfort features too. IMO, the M5C strikes the perfect balance for what the M5 mission is.
Why does it not have M badge on the sides? Is it just U.S?
You can delete them as an option, I think.
Just im gonna say اللهم أرزقنا ياااا☝️ااارب
I find the M8 10X more enthralling
M8 might look slightly more aggressive but is actually slower than the M5.
Southern hemisphere countries are not going electric.. not for another 20 years..all the top car brands are going to keep making petrol and diesel..if we ever going full electric at all.
Yeah, no reason to go to electric cars. Busses, trains, ships and tractors maybe.
Been fortunate enough that my last 3 cars were a 2016 S8, 2019 M5 (non-comp), and now a 2023 M5 Comp. S8 was the ultimate wolf in sheep’s clothing. 25++ MPG, viciously fast on straight line, incredibly comfortable and beautiful. Fantastic highway cruiser - maybe the best ever built, with 600HP. My then 16 year old daughter learned how to drive in the S8 - it was that versatile of a car (ruined her since she now drives a Buick Encore). 2019 M5 was a different animal. Had the 19” tires which were very uncomfortable when the temps got chilly, and had a fairly rough ride (wife did not like driving in it at all - bummer!). That said, wicked fast, handled great in summer and with winter tires had no issue in the winter in and around Phila. 2023 M5 Comp - what a dream this car is! Monster off the line, incredible engine sound, incredible tech with M configurations, 20” wheels make for a significantly better drive (shocking actually), and the car is stunning to look at. This model is skyscraper grey and has the black carbon fiber package (including roof). Getting it on the track this spring in NJ and cant wait!!!!
I have a 2023 m5 comp in tanzanite blue I absolutely love it! What a machine chilled when you want to and supercar killer when you need it
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
You forgot the f10 in your summary...
BMW M5 is USD $170K+ in Malaysia.
60k in germany, with 50000km on the clock
The next M5 will be hybrid V8
Did u say, U wna give it to me 😁?
I'd rather have the ct5 blackwing
It pains me that I'm never going to experience this due to the shift from petrol to electric
1) you can experience it if you want to, just buy an older car
2) electric is better anyways
No drift???????
Peasant blockers?😭
That should come in manual
I've seen renderings of the new M5..looks hideous compared to this
Every BMW has been botched. This was far too beautiful to screw up. There gets a point where you simply can't improve it further.. and this was it
Holy fuck 😍😍😍
You forgot to mention F10 bro
Wow…
LC 500 Lexus is just the standard V 8 sounds just like formula one car has not got any turbo charger or anything like that
and suffers from a big lack of performance compared to its peers
Look like mustang with bmw grill.
My man compared the m5 with a lexus 😂
Hello.😸💕
i love this design and i know BMW is going to destroy it with the next gen like that have with every other model :'(
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, I believe the 2023 model of the BMW M5 competition has gotten 17 more horsepower a little bit of a boost if you will is that right?
Isn't that the M5CS?
Much more the model 2023 will have 700 hp and new saloon
Congratulations whoever bot
I didn’t like the new emblem
Currently driving a 19 CTS-V and there’s not many performance V8 sedans left to choose from. This may be my next car. Love everything about it but still think the CTS-V wins in the appearance area.
Would have to disagree.. everytime I think of Cadillac I think of my grandparents .. M5 wins in looks, and definitely performance
In my opinion the best looking car. If i had money to afford any car it would be this one 🙈
At over $150k, it better be.
125 for a good spec.
RIP E63
Rather take a hellcat
Lexus interiors are trash and i'd never call them 'flair". Flair is Merc
epic car but im so angry they are making it hybrid and then electric because its gonna be a while before i even get my license and get a good job to be able to afford that car so it is pretty much over for me
Same here. We’re seeing the pinnacle of gasoline engine performance, and witnessing the end of it simultaneously.
Dated interior cluster and screens, their new M2 2023 has that which i am glad to see they ignored the M2 for years. I think they need to make tech interiors standard in all their M cars
10/10 for everything else
However I am more excited for the future hybrid electrification for more torque and performance like P1 Sf90 etc. That's no longer hypercar thing, it's slowly going to all performance cars in all price rangers. Can't wait till it's standard
In reality it does 3.0 0-62
