Really hope you guys enjoy this BMW M5 Competition Review, I absolutely loved this car and really happy with the way this video turned out. Massive thanks to Patrick for being a genius behind the camera, give the guy a follow on insta (link above) The BMW M5 Competition is more than a standard M5 in a pretty dress.
Have owned the M5 Comp for 3 months now and I have to say that Joe you really captured the essence of driving this vehicle. It is a wolf (super car) in sheep's clothing AND the whole family and all the luggage can enjoy in the fun with you! Stomp on it and this car literally gives you vertigo.
I have watched this and the other video a minimum of 25 times. I know them word for word. Many thanks for helping me deal with the wait for my M5C to be built and arrive!
I got my M5 Competition on 01/01/2019 and I must say this car is an insane beast. The way this car handles is incredible and you can be doing 150mph without even realizing it. I love this car!!!!
BMW gift this man a m5 competition. He is the only youtuber that excites me with the BMW brand. Joe Achilles 👑 Mr BMW 👍🏽 Watched you from day one joe. You’ve loosened up so much and let your personality shine through. Great silly sense of humour. Keep it up my G
Just about to push the button on an M5 and had the dilemma of comp or standard, you have just answered my concerns, standard for me as I need a GT car, many thanks for the very informative review.
19 November 1994.... That's when the Lotto started and I've been playing it since..... I've always wanted a BMW M5 over any other car. Great review Joe, you have real passion and it shows. As soon as Camelot transfer the Jackpot into my account I shall be buying myself one of these 😁🤣. Keep up the good work Joe, you're doing a great job
Couldn’t agree more. My previous vehicles since 1985 included: 1983 RX-7, 1986 944, 2006 997.1, 2008 M3, 2012 991.1 all in manual and a 2018 M550i (which was lost in an accident) and thus my current daily is a 2019 M5 Competition. This is the most tightly put together and powerful vehicle I’ve had. Only have a smidge under 500 miles and can’t wait for summer and getting all the HP after the 1200 mile service. Ride is rough, about the same as my 991.1 on Sport mode, but it’s still more comfortable and I had the 18 way adaptive seats in it. I live in snow country and currently have winter tires on it which is a must in the snow. I didn’t order this like my other cars, but I would have added the night vision, otherwise it’s perfect. Probably will put a E-Venturi intake and a different Gurney flap on the tail sometime later. Cheers.
Well done Joe. Always a big fan of yours. I Saw My first M5 back in 1984 when I wa a twty two year old rookie police officer in Manhattan. Super glad I got ivolved with the 401 k retirement plan. I contributed to the plan for twenty years and when I retired at 40 years of age I watched it grow fornother twenty years. Your not allowed to draw on the 401K plan till you are fifty nine and a half years old and there i am now sixty years old and I plpped down a hefty down payment on a 2022 BMW M5 Competition. Your M5 Comp vedoeos helped me through the arduous 3 month wait perious till my M5 Comp was built and shipped to my local BMW dealer. I'm an early riser and I was sitting in my M5 Comp a four AM with that marvelous engine running exploring all there is to my new M5 Competition. Joe, I have to saythat every time I get into my M5 Comp it's an adventure. I look for excuses to drive it !
Finally have mine. It’s just the ultimate all-rounder. I find the ride absolutely fine on UK roads (pre-LCI comp), but then I drove an M4 CP before this which is significantly louder and considerably harsher in terms of ride. Ferries me home in quiet comfort when I need it but will always put a smile on my face when pressing on.
@@josephjoestar995 In case it helps: the car is very easy to drive and progressive with the inputs. I was a bit apprehensive on my test drive but this is not a car that bites (like my F82 M4 did). If you want to feel the full force you will need to get the throttle into Sport+ and the Transmission into at least Sport - even then, there is loads of pedal travel/feel so you can control the power nicely.
@@PrinceBarin77 that’s really good to hear, I’m actually buying this as a regular car so I won’t want the power all the time especially for a quick trip to the store so that’s nice 👍
why is it that i dont have the money to buy any of these cars you drive, but i find myself watching every single one of you and rickys videos? keep up the work boys :)
What a beast. Saw this in the BMW show room up in Yorkshire a few weeks back and can honestly say what a great piece of kit. Looks great and by your review Joe drives just like it too.
Different class Joe, great review, must have watched 20 times together with your first drive. Had an M3 Comp just bought the M5C, its mega...sooooo fast 👍👍
Joe u are spot on. I had a chance to drive both M5 for few days each and I ordered M550i because i needed everyday driver car for my wife. 😇 M5 is great every day driver if I was going to order for my self and M5 competition is different animal. Review is spot on about it. U probably wondering why I didn’t buy M5 for my self. Well I ordered M850i because is so damn good car and I like the way it look more. I have to admit I think I am getting old ( almost 50 😱 ) because after having 8 different M cars in a row ( 1M, M3 3 different models M5, M6, M4, X6M ) last few years I started to like M performance cars more for my everyday use. I can see u enjoy this M5 with same smile like I used to do it. It’s great fun and I have to admit this M5 specially competition is very very fast car. I understand what u saying because I had exactly same feeling. Great review.
Joe I can really see your enthusiasm for this car it comes across in the video, between you and Patrick I can see you planned it well and patrick was rather less behind the scenes than you might have thought at 2:24 mins into the vid... he even tries to run up the road after you with the camera,which made me smile.... I loved it.. :-)
@@JoeAchilles1 Joe I know you love driving and doing the reviews but on those down days when weather or scheduling etc stop you from filming have you ever thought about just doing a chat with us telling us what your top 5 cars are and why, I would luv to know your thoughts on this M5 and the R8 given you tested it on the same piece of road....stuff like that...little personal insights....
Damn man, Joe's moving up in the world! production values really showed through here great video. The uk automotive youtube space just keeps getting better.
Great Video! Excellent job on explaining the differences between the M5 and the Competition model, miles better than I have seen in any other video that has covered the same topic. Kudos!
Hi Joe! Your videos about the M5 have actually made me buy one. I have never ever owned a BMW, because of not liking the brand for some reason. I then found your channel a while ago thanks to Carwow, and I was SOLD. At 100k euro, I was a bit on the fence about buying an M5C with my hard earned money but your videos have changed my mind. Thank you so much. Your enthusiasm is amazing and your ability to talk about the cars and the way they feel is unreal. I 100% trust your judgement that this car will be worth every penny. ;) Cheers from Sweden, Joe! Your videos are sooo damn underrated. I hope more people finds your channel!
That is one nice bit of kit. Excellent review & vid Joe, looks like you were having a hoot. Great camera work, really conveyed the feeling of a blast through the countryside on a crisp morning!
Absolute stunner of a review! I don't know who those 20 dislikers are, probably people that got screwed over with the regular M5 while they wanted the comp. Could also be people who didn't expect a good review, getting puzzled by words like "driving dynamics" or "mpg".
Just bought an older 535i. Its really opened me up to how well these 5 series are made (if you take care of them) and how versatile they are. This model will be in my garage some day.
I have been very lucky and driven M2 comp, M4 and M5 comp on track and they are all phenomenal machines. Sure the M2 is the one you want for agility but the M5 is surprisingly good on track. Power down the straights is obviously outrageous but on the brakes and in the corners it's pretty well balanced it hides it's weight well, of course you know it's there but at the same time it really encourages you to push on. Really hope to afford one of these cars one day. I'd literally take any M car 😂. Current generation is phenomenal. You keep driving, I'll keep dreaming!!
Joe you are fast becoming one of the best UA-camrs out there for cars, Chris Harris leaving for top gear created a void which thankfully you and Henry Catchpole are fast filling in. Don't stop what you are doing and keep reviewing cars as much as your updates on your dailies as well.
I’ve been looking forward to this for ages - literally checking every day since the 1st drive. It was defiantly worth the wait. Great great job Joe and really like the drone shots. By far the best review I’ve seen. Is it me or is this car almost overlooked by most reviewers?? So excited to collect mine next month (same colour).... think a mistake to have skipped the carbon discs though? I don’t track
Car arriving next week now. Very excited after this video... added more specs for all the driving aids plus the B&W stereo and individual white leather on the dark blue paint and dark carbon interior. Thinking to drive it to Italy and back so I can cross the 2,000 miles and put my foot down!
First i have to say i drove only BMW mostly the 5 Series and i will hopefully drive only BMW in the future. To the new M5 all i can say is this car is Perfection on 4 wheels it looks amazing it is incredibly fast and with Xdrive its the perfect family car.
Haha cheers man, we went full production on this one, ironically the main Sony camera and proper mic didn't work, thankfully my 4 year old GoPro Hero 4 saved my arse!
Thank you for this review. I've been looking for M5 vs M5C comparison and this is giving me exactly that and something more! Great footage, great information, Amazing car. I wish I had the money to buy and own one :) Maybe one day in not too distant future... Btw. Have you driven F10 M5? Would love to hear F90 vs F10 comparison from you.
Thank you for the review, it is so far the most enjoyable review i have seen so far. I hope you get to own this car in order to continue your experience and enjoy it further.
upping the game; Love the locations in this vid. opening sequence of gleaming german tech backed by rural grain elevator, and then flying through the countryside, brilliant. quite the love letter. BMW should just divert their advertising budget to this channel.
Thanks and lovely to read man 👌 We lucked out with the weather etc. Car manufacturers must be rubbing their hands together at the moment, people like me beg to borrow their cars, I then invest my own money, time and talent to produce advertising as you say 🤦♂️ Hopefully things will change over the next 6-12 months, they might start waking up and realising our value... Thanks man
@@JoeAchilles1 You're building a solid channel, Quality always gets recognised. You're a great brand ambassador, and love the vids you do on performance upgrades to your own cars and others. Looking forward to vids of your trip to germany!
Great review Joe. Really portrayed how the car felt to drive. Videography was superb. Keep up the hard work. I Would love to even just have a go in this car!
Joe this was awesome to watch. My spec ordered ‘19 Comp is about 6 weeks out and I’m super excited and thankful to be able to enjoy it. The same Marina Bay Blue on Tartufo Individual interior all options but CCBs. If you ever find yourself in Texas and you want to give it a spin for old times sake DM me. Thanks for the great review!
Thanks for the video. I bought the 2020 last night. I admit to waking up to a touch of buyer’s remorse (‘How much did I just spend!?!?’), but this video put me right again.
The only improvement I think the M5 competition needs Joe is a louder exhaust system ? Maybe in person it’s louder but on here it sounds a little tame. But cheers mate on the great video and drown usage is spot on ❗️❗️❗️
So glad BMW is using the adaptive AWD system. That’s what this car really needed in order to push it. The Competition is a road race king. All suspension is fitted with solid mounts and is not a comfy cruiser. It’s a serious full size sedan keeping you on your toe nails. 👍
Great review! The detail is what ppl need to hear from Bmw owners when Mercedes and Audi are winning the design game. There’s always a place for precision
18:45 I agree. This is the review I needed to see. A lot of other car reviewers made it seem like the m5 comp wasn't that great bc it rides stiff. Picking up my m5c in 2 days. Very excited.
To me this is the best car from bmw, hands down, I own a 2018 bmw 328i M sport, I am from RECIFE in Brasil, the fastest as well, wonder if the 760i v12 is faster then the M5 competition. Joe, great vid, thanks for sharing that with us down here in this part of the world...
You and I, I suspect, are around the same age, Joe, which means you also remember the days of actually needing 1 key for the doors, and another for the ignition. Nowadays, we don't even use anything that resembles a key, yet we cannot seem to stop saying "the car keys". Lol Great video, and great review, mate! Cheers!
Haha yeah man hard to imagine nowadays... I still love using a key to start older cars tough, a button doesn't have quite the same engagement. Thanks for watching 👌
Great vid, I’m quite close to ordering an M5, can’t help but think though that the standard car will be better for 95% of my driving situations - commuting, normal weekend driving, plus the odd trip to France, Italy etc. 🤔
What can you say Joe, another fab video great driving in what has to be one of the best cars out there. You leave the other car channel guys in the shade, Top Gear presenter for you in the near future.
Really hope you guys enjoy this BMW M5 Competition Review, I absolutely loved this car and really happy with the way this video turned out. Massive thanks to Patrick for being a genius behind the camera, give the guy a follow on insta (link above)
The BMW M5 Competition is more than a standard M5 in a pretty dress.
Hey Joe. Great review. Love the M5 ever since the E34. Would you consider reviewing the AMG E36s as a comparison? Cheers
Joe I know you think the standard M5 is nowhere near the fun and precision of your M2 comp but how much does the M5 comp close the gap?
Awesome review and great camera work!
So which would you buy if you had choice
excellent vid love it, very informative
Man like joe you know
Man like Ricky in the UA-cam house 🙌
LivingLifeFast you guys need more collabs
Have owned the M5 Comp for 3 months now and I have to say that Joe you really captured the essence of driving this vehicle. It is a wolf (super car) in sheep's clothing AND the whole family and all the luggage can enjoy in the fun with you! Stomp on it and this car literally gives you vertigo.
I can't get enough of the f90.the king has truly returned
The drone shot of you "getting around" that corner👌💪
Yeah Pat nailed that shot! 👌
I have watched this and the other video a minimum of 25 times. I know them word for word. Many thanks for helping me deal with the wait for my M5C to be built and arrive!
@Shark Money 🙌
A guy on my street has one of these. I cry when i drive past it.
Haha thankful my neighbour doesn't ;-)
Haha I pictured that.
Why you cry
Same
@@JoeAchilles1 lol i bought an m2c and 2 days later an m5c appeared literally next to me
I got my M5 Competition on 01/01/2019 and I must say this car is an insane beast. The way this car handles is incredible and you can be doing 150mph without even realizing it. I love this car!!!!

Sorry man just seen this! Thanks you :-)
Couldnt help but laugh at the camera man running after the car at 2:25
lol
Just noticed and was about to comment!
His acceleration might be less than 3 secs 😁😁😁😁
@@pavlospilakoutas I don’t think it was less than 3 seconds... The newer version just manages 3 seconds but yes it’s very quick! 🔥🔥
Just about to push the button on an M5 and had the dilemma of comp or standard, you have just answered my concerns, standard for me as I need a GT car, many thanks for the very informative review.
Best saloon on the market😍😍😍
Agree
Love the AWD - RWD possibilities!

BMW always underestimates its 0-60 times.
Yep
I'm curious as to why they do that ?!
@@stubones because they test it in hot conditions and with shitty fuel like in middle east
I suspect they do it deliberate in case some asshole magazine goes on a rant.
All the german brands underestimate the 0-60's. They usually account for 3 people in the car with luggage i believe.
Wow what a Car... !! I Mean... What a Car !!! Great Video again Joe 👍🏻
You really do make great videos Joe

Thanks for the video. I bought the 2020 last night. I admit to waking up to a touch of buyer’s remorse (‘How much did I just spend!?!?’), but this video put me right again.
I had mine for 4 days...... and now 30 in the body shop. Can’t wait to get it back.
Great video Joe. I think you almost did 60mph somewhere!!
Cheers man, yeah I pushed hard and almost managed the speed limit... ;-)
The only improvement I think the M5 competition needs Joe is a louder exhaust system ? Maybe in person it’s louder but on here it sounds a little tame. But cheers mate on the great video and drown usage is spot on ❗️❗️❗️
Love the car, love the colour...wish you had it as a longer term loaner Joe. Thanks for the video.
Haha me too mate, my life would be complete with one of these... Oh and a hot wife too ;-)
It’s so fast! Great vid mate, always look forward to seeing the next one.
Top notch again! What a beast!
Thanks buddy glad you liked it!
The best sounding BMW turbo engine so far hope they can get the future 6 cylinders sounding so good.
Why 6 cyl, they need to keep the 8
So glad BMW is using the adaptive AWD system. That’s what this car really needed in order to push it.
The Competition is a road race king. All suspension is fitted with solid mounts and is not a comfy cruiser. It’s a serious full size sedan keeping you on your toe nails. 👍
Yeah man totally agree!
Great review! The detail is what ppl need to hear from Bmw owners when Mercedes and Audi are winning the design game. There’s always a place for precision
18:45 I agree. This is the review I needed to see. A lot of other car reviewers made it seem like the m5 comp wasn't that great bc it rides stiff. Picking up my m5c in 2 days. Very excited.
The visuals at the beginning, jheeze.
Well done Joe, skills just getting better and better. Great review.
Brilliant video Mr Achilles!! Keep them coming!
Thanks man
This video helped me decide to get my f90 m5
To me this is the best car from bmw, hands down, I own a 2018 bmw 328i M sport, I am from RECIFE in Brasil, the fastest as well, wonder if the 760i v12 is faster then the M5 competition.
Joe, great vid, thanks for sharing that with us down here in this part of the world...
Thanks buddy! A M760Li wouldn't be much slower in a straight line, but it would be destroyed in the corners, on the brakes etc...
Sold !!!
My number 1 car is this...
Haha mine too!
Yeah, what a machine...
You and I, I suspect, are around the same age, Joe, which means you also remember the days of actually needing 1 key for the doors, and another for the ignition. Nowadays, we don't even use anything that resembles a key, yet we cannot seem to stop saying "the car keys". Lol
Great video, and great review, mate! Cheers!
Haha yeah man hard to imagine nowadays... I still love using a key to start older cars tough, a button doesn't have quite the same engagement. Thanks for watching 👌
Great vid, I’m quite close to ordering an M5, can’t help but think though that the standard car will be better for 95% of my driving situations - commuting, normal weekend driving, plus the odd trip to France, Italy etc. 🤔
I've been waiting for this. Great vid beautiful car 😃
I finally own one...I can relate to everything Joe has said...best car ever. I sold my 911 S for this car. ZERO regrets.
JOE YOU KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK,LIKE TO SEE YOU DO A REVIEW OF THE MERCEDES AMG GT 4 TO SEE HOW IT STACKS UP
Cheers buddy glad you liked it! Unfortunately I don't have a relationship with Merc UK :-(
Great review as always Joe 👍
Thank you :-)
What can you say Joe, another fab video great driving in what has to be one of the best cars out there. You leave the other car channel guys in the shade, Top Gear presenter for you in the near future.
Very nice video, Joe. And your comments are really precise. Thank you for sharing.
So agree with your perspective on this M5 Comp. vs the 850i, no 2nd thoughts whatsoever considering the price of both, it'll be this all day long!
Fantastic video Joe, I need to find those roads when I visit the UK.
That spec is perfect.... Blue on White w/ Carbon Ceramic Brakes
These are on auto trader now for just above 60k unbelievable for the performance, great review
Great video joe. Wish I could afford one!
Cheers buddy me too mate me too!!!
Nice Joe, you have a lot of different cars lately!
