had the pleasure to test it and what scares me the most is the clearance because of the long wheelbase. the floor scrapes when i drive it on my 7 car trailer 😂
The man was down in GVegas :O Some pretty fun roads up there but so many of our roads here in SC are just not maintained well and the type of earth in some parts of the state makes anything built on it sort of inherently shitty. The good roads are definitely pretty great though. Hope you enjoyed your time here!
Definitely would've gone with with the pano roof on this spec. The perfect way to get a subtle view of the red interior from the outside....even when tinted.
people are going to get over the weight and odd looks. i still remember all the complaining when the F90 came out and now its supposedly the last real M5 lol. Life goes on
Looking at the engine compartment... this is a lease it and hand it back to them.... so the usual type of use for a BMW.... never really own it just lease it... This or Lucid... I feel I want the Lucid but also would not mind the wagon version of this... which one will be more reliable... I am thinking the Lucid... LOL
this will probably be more reliable than the lucid air. the s68 has been out for around 3 years now and there havent been any major concerns, plus the fact that around 580 of the 730 total hp is from the v8, so the engine is far from stressed. bmw has also been making electric motors for over 10 years now so as a whole this should be relatively reliable.
the M5 has always been my favorite car...regardless of the generation. That trend is probably stopping with this one. The looks and obscene weight is just ridiculous. IDC how fast it is in a straight line
@@faheemabbas3965 Could not agree more...its a real shame. Light weight sports cars are a thing of the past. And they cant even build super sedans properly anymore.
The boxy square design works great on the g87 M2. The M5, however, is a completely different story. The more I look at it, the more confuse my eyes get. At least, it still has the v8 and sure handle well for a boat.
She’s quite a honker. Really interested in this car at 8-10/10ths and how they can manage the weight. For 95% of people this car is more than fine, probably the comp and the CS will be the rowdy ones.
personally i would definitely still take the g80 m3 with a manual for the most driver oriented experience since the m5 now seems like way more of a GT car
Drove the 25 540i recently, has roughly the same steering wheel I believe without the red accent and m paddle shifters. Great car but couldnt get over the shape and how light the steering was. Felt like I was one little slip away from eating shit in comfort mode
i would say, i love the Touring more, since the taillights of the sedan don't do it for me, while on the touring it suits it very well, at least the Touring is coming to north america!!
the curvy roads he was driving on, does anyone know where specifically that is ? I know he said greenville but where, such a beautiful area wow. The forest is amazing, and those houses wow.
Look man I don’t hate this car, I really love the interior and the front look. But the weight just takes me off guard. Not to mention the back looking like a Toyota Camry.. Still love it tho
Why not square the tire up? Different wheel width, different wheel diameter, for only 10mm different tire width change? That's complexity just for the sake of it.
What is the purpose of the electric motor if it only gives a 20-25 mile range? Seems like a dumb addition, if someone could enlighten me I would appreciate it.
At this point, I think every automotive youtuber should really stop trying to do "backroad" tests because its just going to end up getting you in trouble. The best thing is to do the on/off ramp corners because at least you can kind of take it a bit fast and not be in an area where people are and also you are not going triple the speed limit like some youtubers recently have : /
Im actuallly starting to like this car a lot. I thought the weight would mean its slower but this thing torched a audi rs6 GT and rs7 perf .. it literally makes other sport sedans look like small peasants in its presence ❤😂
It’s too heavy. If a car 3400 3600 pound with 300-400 hp drive around next to you, he could turn and switch lanes multiple times faster then you can even signal right or left. If you ever drove a truck with 400 -500 hp you would understand
I think this M5 looks way better than the F90 and the fact that you can get it as a Touring is making it even better. I am happy that there is not a lot of “drama” coming from this V8… I personally don’t care about the weight at all as it’s not a track car but rather a daily driver
@ this one is also not a track car. It’s a family car and always was in my eyes. I think less than 0.5% of people would ever use it on a track… so it makes sense what the M5 is now
@@justinbecker4772 This is not a track car. This is straight line demon on wheels that still luxurious. A family car. That’s always been the M5. A gentleman in a suite that has pure muscles underneath. However, if there will be a M5 CS, then you can call it a “track car”. But they’ll have to do some weight savings(if that’s even possible).
@@gaara4667 I have no idea how to save weight on this car, since so much of it comes to the powertrain. I feel like this isn't a good template for a performance car.
The bowers on the new bmws are fucked they are cut down half the wattage, from like 1200w to 610w, if you play music with lots of instruments or bass the speaker becomes shit
The looks are fine, right up until you put it next to an F90 and you see just how much better designed that car was. Also most of these let’s face it aren’t getting tracked and when you take that out of the equation the weight matters a whole lot less. It’ll be stupidly fast and capable for most of what’s asked of it. Still a shame but that’s the state of cars nowadays, at least BMW kept the V8 (looking at you AMG👀)
Here we go with heavy car, like majority owning this car in the states drive m5s in stand still traffic doing 30mph.... yall crying about cornering? how many of yall was planning to track a 2025 m5? be for real? enjoy the tank or leave it alone

I can't wait to see the new M5 CS
Heard bmw not making a cs for this one 😢
In love with the interior
I love the naming scheme for BMW because if you look up just G90 or G80 you'll either see a bunch of Genesis cars or this 😂

This will be the last actual M5 the next one will be only electric. Im just happy theres still a v8 no matter the design.
fr lmaoooo
I agree, they kept the V8 unlike the C63 which no one wants, it's heavy asf but it's still fundamentally the same car an M5 has always been.
@@DabDabGoose
Yup
Autobahn bruiser but still luxurious.
"Look how they massacred my boy"
I honestly think it looks pretty good, interior is beautiful. Curious to see how it sounds with a Catless Downpipe and Exhaust!

just waiting for F90’s to drop a lil more in price 😭
they added the lil wing back to the headlights like they had on the 2004 v10 m5 if u guys remember that one lmfaoo
some E60 influence on the front for sure!

What camera and FOV settings are you using in your video? It's perfect!
2:07 Pause.
When will we know about a possible CS version?
Future
im wondering does it make the "fart noise" like the f90 when upshifting
forget the car! how do you record with such good quality, what camera do you use?
So it weighs almost three tons, and then engine doesn’t come to life when you press the start button…wtf is this supposed to be then???
what kind of setup are you using for making videos? in terms of camera and microphone, thanks
They still put tags on individual colors, unfortunately Frozen Deep Grey is not a one.
What road are you driving on? I'm only about 40 minutes from Greenville. I would love to take this road someday.
Look man I don’t hate this car, I really love the interior and the front look.
But the weight just takes me off guard.
Not to mention the back looking like a Toyota Camry..
Still love it tho
Whats up with the red seat phase? It's absolutely hideous. Why does that exist?
Funny how it's cheaper than an M3 in certain countries due to the PHEV's lower emissions.
Why not square the tire up? Different wheel width, different wheel diameter, for only 10mm different tire width change? That's complexity just for the sake of it.
BMW understated horsepower again, and crank horsepower is more like 820ish. Almost 100 more then BMW says
Never selling my G80 M3 Manual for this...
What happens if you never plug this car into a charger?
At this point, as depressing as it is, I'm probably just getting the plaid.
Ew

In no way, shape or form are those things comparable.
@gaara4667 Weight
hate the tach set up...could be nice to have something easier to read/larger.
The US model definitely sounds better and louder. Hopefully they make a Competition or CS model
All the people complaining about this car are ones that won’t be buying one anyway
May be the last new M5 to ever exist. Ugly and heavy. Since Dukec’s now gone, hopefully Missoni can fix BMW’s designs.
It’s better to buy M8 or M850i, while it’s still available. Lighter, faster, prettier, better interior plus there are great deals on those now.
If it didn’t have a plug in on the side I would like it a lot better
Bmw m5 is my dream car but for this generation iwill stop dreaming
It looks as long as a 7 series now
I wish they lowered the hood instead of blocking off the kidney grills like that.
What is the purpose of the electric motor if it only gives a 20-25 mile range? Seems like a dumb addition, if someone could enlighten me I would appreciate it.
why can’t we just have analog gauges
