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

@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.

I want to buy this year M5 comp 2023 model,but i need help.. Does 2023 comp models have opf ????
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.

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.

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

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.

Agh, man it’s so damn beautiful. It’s been my favorite car since childhood. Goals. My time will come. 🙏🏽☝️
NICE informative video
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
Absolute dream car.. One can only dream too..
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
Peasant blockers! 😂 I’m so using that
Good Job Mr.
My lord it sounds phenomenal. Pure masculine energy right there.
Can’t wait to buy this in 6 years
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!
A big fan of this machine ❤️🔥
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 🤛🏽
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”

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!

Hello.😸💕
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!!!!

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
Doesn't have the upgraded interior. I'll pass.
