Behold the most powerful M car ever made, the M5 CS is an eye watering £140k new, but promises to be the most dynamic M Saloon ever. Sitting at 635BHP and 750nm, the 0-60 is even lower than the competition at 3.0, which as you’ll see is a conservative estimate (oh and 0-200 is just 10.4 seconds.)
It’s the latest limited edition M5 in a long history of limited M5’s in the past. When we did the history of the M5, you’ll recall it’s predecessor the M535i. Back then racing was all the rage in South Africa, so BMW SA with the help of #BMWM and AC Schnitzer made a Motorsport Limited Edition 530 MLE, with thinner lighter panels, unique wheels and design, all years before the M1! You could call it the first true M car.
E34 saw an interesting one too. With an edition made by an F1 driver called the Winkelhock edition. He stripped the weight with a smaller fuel tank, stripped sound insulation, lighter battery and less luxury items inside, it also had wider rear tyres and recaros inside! Some similar thinking to our car today. E60 saw a one off M5 CSL that was never sold. 110 pounds lighter with a carbon roof, more power at 580BHP from a bigger 5.5 engine, and a Nurburgring lap of 7.50!
More recent times saw the M5 30 Jahre edition: the then most powerful bmw, with 600BHP, only 300 made. But apart from some unique design touches, that was it!
Our Frozen Deep Green metallic car bring parts from all of the past cars into one mega M5. It’s 70KG lighter thanks to use of Carbon with an all new bonnet made of CFRP, and has air vents with exposed carbon fibre. Carbon front splitter and mirror caps come from the #BMW M8, and the rear spoiler and diffuser are also carbon. The intake silencer and engine cover are also carbon. We have a lot of sound insulation and other elements removed so all of this contributes to a reduction of 70kg vs the standard car.
The M Carbon ceramic brakes are 23kg lighter than the M Compound brakes, and are in a unique red finish. The CS rides as standard on Pirelli P Zero Corsa track tyres measuring 275/35 R 20 at the front and 285/35 R 20 at the rear.
The suspension is shared with the new Competition, meaning new dampers from the M8, but retuned and honed to account for the lighter car. The bearing springs at the front and rear axle are retuned and damper control refined for the lower weight and the tyres’ increased performance.
And finally, we have bespoke engine mounts with a spring rating of 900N/mm, giving us rigidity and rapid engine response.
The coolest bit is the design, with the motorsport inspired yellow lights which activate in either low or high beam, or when unlocking the car. Gold Bronze details are everywhere from the grille, the side badges, the boot lid and as an optional finish on the unique wheels. Inside is a real highlight too, it only seats four, with 4 individual bucket seats. Detailed in mugello red and the Nurburgring logo on the headrest, there are loads of details which I’ll share with you in the video!
But it’s still a crazy price, so can it ever hope to justify it? Today we explore:

M5cs is the actual ultimate driving machine … what a master piece by BMW 🔥
haha funny guy slower than a soccer moms tesla plaid 0.60 1/4 mile and round a track ua-cam.com/video/j7YqdGt19tw/v-deo.html

Honestly the best looking 4 door sedan on the market. Perfection
You said it my friend
Disagree. The Alfa Quadrifoglio looks much better.
@@rlsedition indeed
Jaguar XJR last edition looks much nicer....I have one
@@hakonfinsland6866dont put jaguar and bmw in the same sentence 😂
This color combo is stunning
Absolute dream car. The m5 has always been the daddy but this is just next level
100% agree
ua-cam.com/video/j7YqdGt19tw/v-deo.html
@@colinsmith3938 this was discussed at length on a podcast. They said the tyres on the m5 were absolutely shot. Car had no traction at all
Who else from South Africa noticed the Limited Edition MLE BMW, with the GP number plate ? 😃
Gauteng Province bafo…love from 🇬🇧
💯
Oh yes the GP plate
Probably owned by someone from Eldos or Durban😍
Definitely 😂🤣
Did Mr AMG just become Mayor of M Town?
The BMW M5 CS feels more like an EV because the Torque range extends from 1800rpm - 6000rpm. Basically doesn't matter what gear you're in, you'll always feel a kick and the turbo lag is pracrically negligible
ua-cam.com/video/j7YqdGt19tw/v-deo.html
This car proves that BMW still have the capabilities to build the ultimate driving machine! It would be good if they could now transfer that to other areas of the range!
Mind blown. It’s too good. I don’t want a hybrid heavy M5, we need this to be the basis for the next one! 🥲 If only.
I cant wait for the M8 CS Release
Could you please bring us an alpina b8? I think it looks amazing!
True Talk
I wouldn't rule out the possibility of a great hybrid M5. Consider what Porsche did with the 919 Hybrid, for example, or the Koenigsegg Gemera.
@@alkabond BMW is making one?
While our m5 comp will most likely to be the last ICE full size sedan for awhile, seriously, the F90 platform imho truly is one of the best "fast-drivers" sedan's on the market right now. They check off all the right boxes hands down. Can't imagine how good the CS is being that the Comp is even more than I need. Great review, hear your passion about it which is spot on!
It’s very interesting isn’t it, when the F90 first launched it received praise but really the E63 S was acknowledged as the superior driver’s car. It seems like the launch of the M5 Competition put the two rivals on equal footing which makes sense as the E63 S is a step up from the standard E63 and the suspension changes to the competition gave it the edge and excitement M5 fans expected. Now with the CS I feel that BMW has truly put the matter of who makes the best super saloon to bed. They invented this class of car with the original M5 and the used the current CS to remind us all of that 🤌🏾🔥
Well said, have had 3 M3's including the CSL and two M5'S then had a C63 the last normally aspirated version. Also had an E55 that was a dog. Marc has closed the handling gap over the years BMW jus widened it again somewhat !!!!!
Tbh I'm just very disappointed in AMG. They didnt carry on innovating their cars like M. the new e63s and c63s were extremely lazy efforts and don't compare to M3s and m5s
@@harrisr1018 I see your point, but I actually think those cars were quite innovative for Merc and AMG as each of them debuted new technology. The C63 was one of their first regular series cars to get the 4.0 turbo V8 and the E63 debuted their 4matic plus all wheel drive. They have stagnated a little over their product lifecycles but they’re cracking cars all things considered. It’s all the other cars that have followed since that I have an issue with, they’re all good but they’re pretty much just rebodied variants of the E63.
@@harrisr1018 absolutely correct, no need to even try and swerve this truth...
BMW did not invent this class of car, another European brand was the pioneer.
This car is a work of art. Truly special inside and out. If I had the money I would buy it without even thinking twice. Nevermind the price, it will hold its value anyways so no harm done to the wallet 🙂
Another amazing review (and car) as always
Appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed
the best car in the world. period. the ultimate driving machine. love it!
You are kidding, right?
nope. why would i be kidding?? it’s hard to beat a car like the M5 CS and don’t think it has a rival. imho.
@@sandyobertello8971 Why dont you like it Sandy?
I absolutely love your reviews and passion for cars! You have zero brand bias and sincerely love what the vehicle has to offer regardless of manufacture. Keep up the MEGA work and I’ll keep looking forward to every new review!
Rick
You and Joe Achilles are the 2 best reviewers on UA-cam, you tell it straight and give honest comments. I have an M5 competition and would love to see how it compared in a drag race against the CS, especially as Joe and Matt from Carwow got sub 3sec in the latest competition.
Cheers Dave
I like Joe, but.. I don’t think his reviews are a patch on *RBR*
Dude I've got an m5 competition as well!! But it'll be so nice to just change the steering wheel to get some more feedback don't you think?
@@mashruhkhaled3457 Changing the physical steering wheel won’t improve steering feedback. Is it possible your coming from hydraulic to electric steering?
@@LRS7B Yep. I did. Would appreciate hydraulic steering better on the m5 competition
Check carwow for the drag race between the M5 competition and CS. The CS
won quite convincingly. But respect to the competition, it's also a beast of a car
I appreciate the just seeing the baby seat in the back. As a father of two young children, I like to gauge how much room they have and how comfortable they are. Thanks
Mr. AMG slowly but surely becoming a Mr. M :D (with all the bullsh*t amg is currently doing to its models)
Raz, as always amazing video man.
Before I even watch, I'd just like to say I've been checking daily for this review. I knew it was in the pipeline because your reviews are very thorough
Haha I cracked when he said “sorry my m2 cs is dirty I use it a lot” what happened to Mr AMG😂😂😂
Remind me not to wait for one of your videos again after a teaser pic. I have aged significantly waiting for this but worth the wait ofcourse!
Sincerest apologies, been a busy year!
This M5, the Toyota GR Yaris and the Porsche Cayanne Turbo GT are my favorite cars to come out this year that focus on driver involvement..
Best car 2021!!! crazy!!! love it the CS and the video! thanks!
Haven't seen Raz this excited by a new car in a while 😅
This is one of your very best videos on any car. You come right out of the video with you enthusiasm for this car. Never have I seen you this excited. I love it. Again, this is your best work and it’s easy to see why. BMW SHOULD ORDER ANOTHER TWO YEARS OF PRODUCT AND LET YOU LOOSE SELLING THEM. THEY WILL SELL EVERY ONE. Thank you for such a great job about this car. Ted
Again, your report hits it out of the stadium. Like you, I love this car. It's perfect. Not only does this car look the part, but the performs matches it. Thank you for a great report. I Love you enthusiasm. Ted
BMW kills it. I’ve owned 9 in my life. 3 M’s. This is definitely on my list or the F95 X5M Competition
I agree, in terms of reliability I've hardly had issues because I've always maintained it
Such an absolutely amazing piece of engineering! Can‘t even imagine how impressive that thing feels to drive, as I‘ve only got a 540i G30 and that already feels pretty fast to me.
Stunning review 👌🏾 stunning car 🔥. Every motor journalist seems to agree, even King Harris.
This might just be the perfect car. Strikingly beautiful and insane numbers. Well done bmw
Any chance you can get hold of the new Alpina B8? I’ve seen a couple of reviews but they’re not up to your standard and I think this is a very special car that deserves a special review!
That’s so true I will love a much detailed thought on that car
Agreed I'd love to see that review as well!
Absolutely loved this video. Totally made me understand the cost of this car it is truly special
Fantastic review, been waiting a while for this one !!!!
13:56 "Carbon Willy Holder". I'd love to see that description in an official BMW product sheet: "The seats are now CWH improved!" 😁
Superb review(as always)Raz! 👍
I've been meaning to tell you this for a long time but; you're an excellent journalist!
Another great video mate, that car is just off the chart. My first purchase if I ever win the lottery!!!
You're an amazing reviewer. Love your channel.
Thank you!
amazing passionate review brother
If i had the money i would buy this and not worry about it depreciating. This is a legend in the making.
Best car channel that’s ever been. How are there not 5M subs????
One of The most beautiful current bmw made.
Great review!
The car is sleek but muscular, slim but chunky, swooped but brutal, it’s just insane. Insane car. It’s gonna be worth a lot in the future.
Skinny thicc😉
Your reviews will be saved for study later maybe after 20 years.
As the best reviews in the you tube
South African here, nice to see the MLE get some recognition.
The only thing Mercedes’ got on bmw is sound of there v8’s sound amazing and they have the best ambient lighting but other than that bmw is a better car brand overall
Amazing car, fantastic review!
Do you remember when the first M5 got 5sec or just sub 5sec it was the fastest saloon back then.And now sub 3sec😳😱💪🏽👊🏽❤️ M-POWER ALL DAY EVERY DAY 💪🏽💪🏽👌🏽👌🏽👊🏽👊🏽❤️❤️❤️
Raz have you converted to M? Phenomenal car, great review. Best review of it so far
Awesome videos & editing😗👌
Man I have been waiting this video for months. I thought you forgot to upload this video
Great video as always. I guess I'll keep my allocation.
Such a perfect saloon. If only I could get one.
Omg, this is really the next level beast we cant deny.
Great review RBR, got an M5 Comp want the CS but they're as rare as rockin horse poo 😁
Good video. Enjoyed that 👍👍👍
Amazing and great car. Outstanding in this sector
Just came across your page and wow!
this is a great car channel.
Another dangerous weapon on the roads! It's just perfect...how it is be the next version? I can't hardly imagine....congrats for the very well done video!
ua-cam.com/video/j7YqdGt19tw/v-deo.html
I didn't drove it yet but all I could say it might be the real deal bcoz everyone is saying something good about it good work mate keep it up bravo
Mester AMG is going M all out and converted to BMW
Great videos! Could you possibly add vehicle release years when reviewing vehicle history?
Long live the King. Yes ! M5 CS is without a doubt the King of super sedans. This is coming from an AMG fan. More importantly this is also what Mr. AMG himself thinks.
The greatest badge in saloon car history bowing out with an absolute monster of a car. BMW reminding us of why they are the only ones you got to if you want an executive saloon. Can’t believe petrol cars are coming to an end 😭
ua-cam.com/video/j7YqdGt19tw/v-deo.html
I had e39 m5 20 years ago, it was and is still my favorite car that i've own. I replaced it with a e63 m6 and it just average. Even the 997 turbo that replace the M6 is not as fun as the e39.
U made it like a movie
It is brilliant 👍👍👍
I live in SA and the BMW M family here is like nothing else
Great video!
Excited for the m5gts
This car looks perfect!
The yellow DRL lights is a nice touch and kind of a throwback to Chris Bangle's angel eyes era.
I had to pause and make this comment:
Best channel intro is yours. I never ever watch any intro, I always skip even if it is 3 seconds, but I enjoy yours.
By the way, car looks good but has no meaning. Family car for racetrack purpose is good but they cut functional gadgets just for wieght reduction?! Come on. You pay so much and cant even close the back door with a button
Yeeeeeeaaaaah BMW M cars it's rocking right yeah you know what time it is we BMW fan boys!!
As a South African, very proud to see a ******GP license plate which in itself is a brand.
M5 CS is perfect....my only tweak would be 2 WD only to save more weight....but love the 2 WD option...
Raz another great review, but I see something more interesting in your garage, is that a Merc 300D, how about a review on that 👍
Sir, I really enjoy your content. I have a request: Are you able to review Alpina? Specifically the Alpina B7?
Under dawg is back 🌚 🔥🔥🔥
I like how you use the actual gear to change gears.
This one is just a jaw-dropping...insane car.
ua-cam.com/video/j7YqdGt19tw/v-deo.html
This one is definitely a keeper...
For me this is the best front design from BMW ever
@4:33 In South Africa we call this the Gusheshe, very iconic car
XO braz, you putting us on the map 🤘🏾✨🇿🇦
3 years and 50k miles on my e63s. It is fantastic at doing everything and a car I struggle to replace. The only car I would happily replace it with is the M5 CS - no other M car has ‘done’ it for me before. But this just looks like a total weapon. Pitty they are absolutely eye watering in price if you are lucky enough to find one for sale! And being that exclusive and pricey means owners won’t want to put mileage on them.. which then begs the question of what’s the point. An M5 isn’t no weekend toy.
I’m going to daily mine. F%ck em.
E63 is so behind the game now. It would get smashed by the base m5
@@chriskarsseboom2200 “behind the game” how? And “smashed” how? Your comment has zero substance or knowledge at all.
@@speedrepublic5270 it’s slower than all the german cars in its class. It’s behind in technology, you said 3 years ago I’m assuming it has the old interior. It’s just an outdated platform that Mercedes’ has strung along until this upcoming refresh.
@@chriskarsseboom2200 it’s a W213. It’s still current, I have no idea what you’re talking about. The facelift W213 is still the current competitor to the F90 M5 LCI and RS6 - both cars were revised after the W213. The E63s will likely it’s totally new replacement first and the others will follow.
Willie holder, there's no way my knob would be draped over that, it would be loud and proud if I was driving that gorgeous machine I would have the passengers eye out on speed bumps, wild.
Awesome info great detail its truly mans car perfect craftsman ship
I'm still amazed at this dude's animations. I'm so confused, are the cars actually there? Or it just computer effects? You spoke about many cars in this videos and they all appeared in front of us
Fantastic review! Such a shame BMW doesn’t bring out the M3 Competition with the same nose off this M5. This car is both aesthetically and mechanically perfect.
Greta review as always

Incredible channel, excellent reviews and topics. Keep up the good work!🦾
Sensacional essa M5 ❤
Raz you need to buy one. It's a weapon
Can u do a review on the W124 u have lurking at the back there? 🤞
I put my M5 C alongside M5 CS, I loved the look of M5 C better than CS. All other people in the dealership had the same opinion.
That ballbreaker in the seats, does they have any use except irritating?
great review as usual... I love the performance figures of the m5 but to me, not only is it too big, it lacks in styling where the new m3 doesn't, like in the hips, etc. this just seems a little too bland once you get past the front (which may appeal to some as a non showy sleeper 5 series).
*13:55* “Carbon Willy Holder” 🤣 *#Hilarious*
