Mod2Fame has been right about this for years,...but many folks either don't know the history of American muscle cars,...or don't want to accept the fact that they are Quite fast in a straight line straight from the factory,...and are especially FAST if they 'hook-up' on launch!

As a long time owner of BMWs,...I knew there were many cars on the market way faster in a straight line than BMWs I've owned prior to BMW getting serious with Turbo-Charging! So, essentially, BMWs didn't start becoming "Fast' until the N54 (...after a Tune and FBO components). And as many know, the B58,...BMW's "Don't Give-A-Freak Straight-Six" is one of the best ever platform to mod bar-none! Just ask Toyota.

So, if ya just want to go straight - FAST,...then it's American Muscle car magic!

But! If ya want to go Fast straight,...and Fast into Curves and around Corners,...then it's German engineering! It's that simple!

Edit: Yes! I follow Mod2Fame and Kies Motorsport on YouTube,...been supportive of those guys back when they are weren't where they currently are in the world of YouTube! Props to both of them...

BMW intentionally neutered the new M5 so they can sell you a Comp or CS version next year for $160K.

1/4 miles times is drag racing so this what i meant
Given you know so you should look at trap speed to know how fast is a car from a roll
I did 100 to 200 for stock car and it is around 6.8 similar to previous M5 f90 comp
For a stock sedan it is not slow but for other electric cars or modded cars it is
I will be doing few runs with jb4 and e 20 mix and see if it has better numbers then my previous m8 coupe with jb4

I agree with you, I am unsure why everyone’s impressed by this. I guess it’s because this version of the M5 is a new bmw product 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Im not hating on the car at all. Again, launching a 2-1/2 ton car is no joke. I honestly thought it would run that time stock. From a roll is where it’s at. I’ve never driven a hybrid like this but I’m assuming from a roll, it’s pulls nicely. I tell everyone, you need to find someone with a +1000 Wheel HP AWD car and do a few rolling boost hits. It’s addictive If you have a big power turbo car and your not using rolling boost, you are toast. Last roll event I went to had a 1600 Wheel Lambo and the guy could not get his anti-lag working. He put it on the trailer and left. I think a plaid got him. Lol

Absolutely outstanding! This car is a Tuners Dream for the simple fact that it's a BMW and a ///M too. Yeah, this car isn't gonna have any problem.
My local dealers have told me demand is high for the M5 and they've received several deposits.

Demand isn’t as high as past M5’s (at least for the sedans). There are lots of M5’s sitting on dealer lots. If you’re purchasing one “off the lot” then the market price seems to be about 0%-5% off MSRP.

The boost from electric motor give it advantage to pure ice Cars on a roll
By the time ice engine builds boost you are gone
Also this car is underturned and any engine tuning will get it close to a 1000 hp but it is still heavy
When i install jb4 will compare it to my m8 coupe with jb4

That’s why you need rolling launch ( break boost/anti-lag ) whatever you want to call and sticky tires

100%
Antilag on high hp car makes a tremendous difference
Brake boosting works but on a big turbo car you need antilag

Hehe
With the G80 pig nose in your profile picture I am not sure you can say it is ugly lol
Saying it is slow for the $ that is not right given it is still the cheapest compared to all the competition and the fastest for $ and i am sure it is faster then a stock g80

I can't argue with this. Dealers have known to be uhhhm suggestive.

BMW took one step forward and 2 steps backwards with the new G90 M5. The car is slower than a stock F90 by a good bit.

I ran a best of 10.6 with trap speeds over 130.xxmph. Funny thing is the car cut 1.5 60' time with Michelin All Season tires.

Here's a link to the runs.

Will all respect and i owned 2 M8 and one of them coupe that is faster thenthe M5 and none of them trap in the 130mph stock or run 10.6 stock
Also awe track catback exhaust adds 22 hp if you are not aware so it is not really stock

With all due respect, even if the AWE cat-back exhaust adds 22hp, it’s not going to significantly increase trap speeds. My previous M5 (2021 F90 M5) and this one both ran similar quarter-mile times and trap speeds, completely stock. Just because you didn’t experience similar results doesn’t mean it’s not possible. Driver mod plays a huge role, as does the track surface and weather conditions, which can make a big difference in performance.

Ok so > 90% of people and the internet are wrong (10.9 at 127 to 129 mph) and you are right
Yes with ideal DA you can get 10.8 but 10.6 is not stock numbers anywhere you look
And yes 22hp is not small and can increase trap speed by 1 to 2 mph and that explain your results with ideal DA and traction

Oh I forgot
What do you mean by driver mod lol
You mean activate launch control and smash the gas pedal?!
Driver mod is only when racing with other car at the same time (reaction time) but driver mod doesn't affect the number unless the driver is weight >300 pounds and i do not lol

Stock times can vary depending on conditions, but I’ve consistently seen the F90 M5 Competition perform in the 10.6 range with ideal DA and proper traction. It’s not just a theoretical number. It’s what I’ve experienced firsthand, not just once but repeatedly with 2 different F90 M5’s.
Good for you Man
It is either your cars are special or the driver mod as you mentionned lol
