New M5 Competition LCI! BUT is an Old M5 better?!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Welcome back to RBR guys! It’s always fun when we have an updated automotive icon to explore isn’t it? The battle for the best Performance Saloon has always been a viciously fought one over the ages, and the most infamous champion in the space has been #BMW’s M5. Ever since the original E12 m535i or the 1985 E28 #M5 with the M88 engine from the M1, the M5 has been the benchmark for the performance saloon.
Now we have the LCI M5, LCI means life cycle if you didn’t know, to dumbest name for facelift ever, but on the face of it looks to address some of the main issues I found with the last competition, while bringing it in line with current cars in terms of tech specifically in the interior.
Things haven’t been easy for the M5 as they used to be a few decades ago. Recent history has seen the rivals from AMG and Porsche make things all the more difficult. New Pan Turbo S is a monster, E63S just updated with marmite looks but much improved suspension allegedly. Plus, I found the #BMWM M8 to be much more comfortable while having better steering, and things like the GT63S exist to make matters more complicated.
Now regardless, I really loved the original M5, with 600 BHP i thought it was powerful enough while maintaining the balance versus comfort that’s so crucial in a performance saloon. Always thought the E63 rode hard, until i drove the M5 Competition and understood the meaning of crashy!
Luckily, M have tackled those very issues. So while the power of the M5 remains 600BHP, and the Competition at 625, the main changes come to the suspension. We have new shock absorbers carried over from the M8, which remember we found to be much better. The chassis has also been retuned.
Now a quick look inside, and let’s hear the stock exhaust system!
So let’s explore the update to the most infamous M Car, with the new M5 competition!

Like I said in the review, if it was my money a pre-facelift standard M5, or more realistically the E63S from 2017. But that’s just Mr.AMG’s private bias talking! Carry on.

Standard 2018 is what I have and don’t regret it for a second. The power difference is insignificant (if there really actually is) as both cars run the quarter mile in 10.9 seconds. I’ll take a softer suspension every day of the week since I track the car once a year and drive it to work 200 times per year.

Pre-facelift E63S is literally a big C63S in design, quite disappointing when the midsize Merc used to have its own design language, while the C and S were pretty much small and large versions of each other. The M5 is also simply the more polished, more accomplished car. It’s ever so slightly better in a lot of areas.

You're the best. Finally someone talking about M performance parts which is huge factor for BMWs. Also, you could show us some individual colors which would be great to spec on a car.
The way Raz talking about performance and is smiling at the same time is unforgettable. Love your reviews and love your new m2cs and c63 as well :)
Love your channel man! You cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time. Some bling, some stats, some history and boom. Everything needed...
With the quality of presentation this guy does, he deserves way more subscribers.
I'm actually glad there are no more pops and bangs from the exhaust. I mean this is an M5, not some boy racer.

I like your sense of humor and still amazing on the graphics. Amazing reviews and an amazing channel!! 🤜🏻🤛🏻
You just got to appreciate Raz's level of detail...
To me the recent years M power cars really shine because of the competition models. Markus Flasch once said in late 2019 or 2020 that around 90% of M power cars are competition ones. The entry level ones are more like a marketing strategy just like AMG 63/63s. Not many people really want a normal AMG or M. When they spent similar money they almost always choose the best version. They would even think the power is not enough and have a tune. The concept is about 'too much is just right.' These car owners usually have many cars as well. I think if people really care about the daily use that much they will just choose a M50i or AMG 53.
The M performance Titanium exhaust option is a must to make this beast rumble. Good review.
This is an amazing channel, really valuable info on the cars being reviewed. Keep it up!
Love your channel!!! ❤️❤️ Been subd since your M town video and love the content! Great reviews and super knowledgeable!!’
Dude, I freaking love your channel. You the MAN!
I adore the detail of the history given for every car reviewed. Best channel by a long way on performance motors.
Brilliant review. Level of detail, scrutiny, and transparency make it so.
amazing editing work, just enjoy watching the video man!
One of the best channels around ,good work sir👊
The M X-Drive is def. impressive. It can put down all the power and never feel like it's interfering. 2WD is only to giggle that you can put it in 2'nd and give it the boot and light up the tires. I never put it in 2WD any more ... all it would do is to require more frequent tire replacement. What's REALLY surprising is how many miles I get out of a set of 4S ... 20k and still thread left.
Just picked my 2022 M5 Competition up last Monday..it's has pretty harsh ride comfort...close to a 85 Camaro. 😆 . With that said it's an amazing car. Well worth the 14 Zillion dollar price tag.
In my opinion when it comes to performance and build quality M5 ahead of E63! Benz might look luxurious to some eyes but build quality isn’t impressive…
I agree about the suspension being fantastic. My video review back in October I commented on the LCI being the best car I’ve driven on my channel...
I love my 2019 F90 competition. It does everything I like and while it’s a little stiff i actually wanted that. It is my daily driver and the pops and bangs make it fun around other cars. It does scare people walking in my neighborhood! I am waiting now for a build date on the new CS. I agree with you - BMW always takes it to the next level and I appreciate that!

You think pre-lci m5 comp suspension was really that harsh? Interesting. I have the 2019 m5 comp and suspension is not bad at all, and this me talking with NYC roads. The e63s was way worse, harder and jarring. The m5 comp is def softer. Now, the non comp m5 is a beautiful balance. Best suspension out of all 3 for rough roads.

I'm with you. I find it totally fine. More comfy than my M3 and 911. I drove it hard on a gravel road with wash-boards, and it handled like a charm (very impressive) and was no issue at all. Yeah it's not a boat, but it's not really hard in my eyes/butt.

Same - I was worried about this but was prepared to compromise. In reality, the car is absolutely fine and a long (UK) journey with the family this past week just reaffirmed that (my wife will be the first to tell me if she doesn’t like my cars!). My only criticism is at low speeds over speed humps and potholes - it can be a bit crashy so you have to really slow down - but it’s a tiny compromise given the upside of how well this car handles and behaves at speed.

I can't sleep now 🤦🏻♀️
A very precise review in placing this model in the crazy competitive performance sedan segment.
The only bad thing about your reviews, which are incredibly well done, informative and entertaining, is that I cannot afford any of the cars you review! That's ok, however, as I'll simply drive vicariously through you!
Totally agree with you regarding the jarring suspension of the first M5C. I purchased the M5 standard and put the competition wheels on it. Could not handle the ride for a daily driver. Darn I wish this was available when I purchased my car.
Amazing video. Keep it bro. Your channel is very different to the rest . Wish you best of luck 🤞
Top quality review as usual 👌I so badly want one
Excellent review and Excellent presentation. I think I'm set on the Pre-LCI M5 now. Its cheaper, only a tiny bit slower, Arguably still more comfortable and just as practical. Plus, it sounds better. The only downside is it perhaps doesn't look as new and it doesn't come with a "competition" badge. But I don't think that really matters for me personally.
I just ordered a 2021 LCI comp to replace my 2019 M5 comp. I did find the ride stiff but eventually got used to it . Looking forward to the new suspension tuning. the LCI is in black to replace the donington. Great review as always.

Great review loved the overlay of the pre LCI to truly compare the differences ... do you know what the coil over option ride would be like ? ... I have an M5 Comp and I completely agree love the car but think it’s more jarring than it could be for ever day use even in comfort

I cant even tell which car is photoshopped or is really there! DAMN! great work

I’ve had my comp 6 months now, got one of the last pre Lci cars having come from a c63s coupe. I think the ride is very refined especially compared to the c63. I don’t get why people think it’s too hard. Paid 82k too brand new!

I have a non-comp 2018 M5 and on the street I find it better to drive everyday, but I only spent 15 minutes in a comp before I made up my mind. The power difference is completely imperceptible and they actually both cross the quarter mile in 10.9 seconds. On the track I definitely notice the weight of the car so perhaps the comp helps mask the weight on track. I upgraded to the comp/performance exhaust, which is worth every penny. I don’t look at a comp and regret my purchase or wish I had the top dog, which is about to be the CS. It’s an M5 after all and is absolutely ridiculous (in a good way) in standard and comp form.

You're right on the steering wheels Raz, BMW could do with being a bit individual when it comes to steering wheels, at least on their M models.
I believe the revs were done with the exhaust valve closed, with them open there are pops and bangs, more burbles :| Much better exhaust note

I think the 550i appeals as the real powerful daily/family cruiser, rear wheel steer, glass roof. If you've got a sports car you don't need an M5 comp. If you don't then it makes sense as an all in one car. How many you'd really see being exploited down B roads, I have my doubts Vs smaller nimbler cars.

The M550i is plenty good, with even better colour and wheel options than the M5. It’s also the only V8 midsize German saloon where you don’t have to resort to the full M, AMG or RS treatment. It also rides better than its faster sibling. You can’t go wrong with this car, but £30,000 more buys you arguably the best petrol four-door right now. It’s up to you.
