And that was back in 2012, and it was a big, heavy ass giant monster. This new hybrid pile of horse shit by other carmaker is a bad joke. We all know, that emission figures are just on paper, real life emissions will be way much higher and that is very disappointing. But non the less, most of the hybrids today are just bought for tax avoiding.

2024 M5 Comp: 625 Horsepower (V8 engine) 750 Feet Pound of Torque 1,865kg (4,111 pounds) 2025 M5: 577 Horsepower (V8 S68 engine) 553 Feet Pound of Torque 192 Electric Power 202 Feet Pound of Torque from Electric 2,435kg (5,368 pounds) The 2025 M5 is significantly heavier, for obvious reasons. Nevertheless, once you run out of your electric battery charge (25-mile range), you are left with only 577 V8 horsepower to push a 5,368-pound car. What a disaster! And the rest, I am not sure where to go with it. What is up with not having a gear lever? I don’t think BMW is listening to their customers and clients anymore. Every interview they feed us a bunch of BS and the interviewers are afraid to ask tough questions. The BMW may fool new buyers, but not the BMW enthusiasts and the people who are loyal to the brand. You can’t fool us. Cheap plastic door panels, plastic carbon fiber-looking paddle shifts, and no carbon fiber steering. Yet, all of which is available on the M3 and M4 models. The rear diffuser truly looks like an afterthought. And the front kidney grill is identical to the i5 M60. What is joke! And I am sure BMW has increased the price beyond any measure to match the rest of the model lineups.

Dual video upload! M5 and VW Golf R! Thomas is a busy man!! And we love it!

the rear looks like an ugly autobot lol

I no longer feel like an M5. I think it has become like a 7 Series, and it no longer has any sporty character, and its weight is very heavy, even though it is not electric. Everyone does not want luxury from the M5, but rather wants performance❤

If you think about this car as an isolated one, without the previous outgoing model in mind then it looks good and strong but the problem is that there is this gorgeous outgoing predecessor model where in comparison the current one looks like a step back for the brand. Sad times

This car should not have any gloss plastic nor Neon light on the nose. Only Carbon and 700 HP engine only out of the new S68 powerplant

I love your in depth car reviews, great work as always. Can;t wait to see the touring version too.

Give us a “normal” or “vintage” gauge design option!!! I just want classic round, white on black gauges!! Orange at night!

Good question if the front grill gets ppf coated to stop any scratches does the radar located in there still work??

The f 90 bmw m5 competition (LCi) is the best looking one till date and will be forever ❤❤

Prefer the M550i

I don’t know what to think anymore

Awesome review and video angles 💯

Thanks for the good review Thomas. I think the m5 is pretty amazing!

In Isle of Man Green its looks amazing!! But the weight...its to much! 😱

The grille design is better than the current M3/M4, but the entire front end just looks bloated and chunky. I like how older cars appear to have lower hoods, closer to the ground. I know that hoods need to be higher now for pedestrian crash regulations, but still... The front end just looks huge. The front overhang looks really big too. It looks more like a tank than a sleek sports sedan.

Removed insulator under hood is for reducing weight or saving cost?

@ScottsGuitar

Problem is, nobody had issues with livability in the last one, so it’s solving a problem that doesn’t exist for m5 buyers at least. If increased daily livability is what one seeks, don’t buy an M5 there are other 5 series better suited to that task. When u try to be everything to everyone you end up with a compromised, bloated boat anchor parading itself as a “sports car” which this is anything but. Previous m5s were famous and popular because they Didn’t pander to every buyer. This homogenization of car design philosophy is killing the entire enthusiast class.

Always a fantastic review. Thanks you Thomas and Leah sp?

Honestly, I like how it looks, especially in that green. Shame that cars have to weigh so much but that's how it is these days and I'm sure BMW still managed to make it drive like one. Also, just curious, how many days before the embargo dropped did you get to film the car?

BMW stands for Big Motherfuckin Wagons now

Last M5 I had was an E34 in the early '90s. Going to remain the last one.

What’s up with the LEDs trying to light up like it’s an incandescent?

When I purchased my M440 cabrio I went with the animal free seats on your recommendation. I love love them. Thank you for telling us about their advantages Thomas.

Leave the 4 wheel steering to the payloaders caterpillars

Looking at the regulatory perspective i can understand why they made it perform the same with the outgoing model. Honestly they could have made it quicker but the emission they have to cut through is insane especially the upcoming Euro 7 regulations. That said, even with heavier weight they do have improvements on handling, steering, and overall experience. So stats wise it might be a letdown but lets see on other aspects that made this a motorsport car. Though the design... they could have done it better And with the upcoming porsche 911 hybrid, there is no excuse to have that much weight since i expect that too will be Euro 7 compliant

I never thought I would say that but a ssangyong rexton is lighter than the m5?!

Now f90's resale value is going to be steady for a long time thanks to this new one

Fckn EU emission regulations

True M models are made to be able to drive on track. Can one confidently drive fast on the track with a car which weighs more than 2400kg? Sure, the active M-suspention can keep the car stable in curves, but did anyone try breaking with such a heavy car on a wet surface? M models are designed to be lighter then serial model counterparts, and this M5 is actually heavier than the regular 5 series. Specifically, M5 was conceptualised to be a practical track ready vehicle, and the new M5 has trunk space of only 470 liters, 60 leters less than the previous generation. To me this seems to be like a step back for the M5 model.

That tail light looks like it's from Toyota.

Remember when BMW actually made high quality interiors? The previous generation looks so much more expensive and premium.

Looks amazing 🤩

I wish they would stop making every newer model bigger than the last

I think it looks great. The weight, however, is an issue. More power is good, less weight is better.
