Loved this car until I watched, I now see something I can’t unsee.
M performance…
Mmmm, M performance loss might be better suited.
This car does not need more wings than red bull , 100% hard pass on this kit.
One step forward, 2 back.

Who puts m performance stickers on their cars?
People who have a car that’s not got m performance

As with most new hybrid releases the massive weight gain & the long term desirability due to the EV components is the ‘issue’ here.
Without doubt the pure ICE cars are going to be the keepers for performance car enthusiasts, as with all EV cars these hybrid cars are just throwaways due to what will be shocking long term costs & residuals.

Exactly! Remember the official BMW M5 CS video - made me want one soooo much. But…THIS? at 5,000 pounds

Good! Hoping I can get one for below MSRP sooner rather than later. What’s it been 4 years since the G80 came out and still selling at sticker.

[TigahRouge]

The performance bits are clean and not excessive.

[swanson]

This car was obviously designed to appeal to the Asian world. The tacky M "performance" parts on all their cars appeal to california buyers. At least the color is nice, just on the wrong car.

It looks absolutely huge in the worst way possible. Can’t get into it at all, sadly. The stickers are pitiful.

[jmxtrem]

Its Really Pretty ,but the weight its so Bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hybrid/EV is fine for dispoable commuter appliances where dynamics dont matter but has no place in the world of ‘real’ performance cars.

That’s why you can still buy an E46 or E92. This new M5 is 100% a disposable commuter appliance that will be leased by 99% of buyers and recycled upon lease expiry. It’ll be an amazing daily driver, especially in Touring form, and will sell like hell. I will line up for the Touring to replace my F95 X5MC.

“Real” performance cars as you refer to only apply to old or semi-old farts who grew up rowing gears and tuning their turbo or naturally aspirated cars to the max. “Real” performance cars to the younger gen will be like this - pure EV or PHEV or hybrid. Holding on to pure ICE as the only ‘real’ performance option isn’t a modern way of thinking anymore. Time to move on for the modern cars and enjoy that you can still get some pretty special older gen ///Mx’s or P-cars to bring back those nostalgic feels.

Why couldn’t they have found a better way to do the CF side skirts? Looks so weird how they just end before the welcome lights. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[bimmer456]

When is the m5 comp and CS coming out? Previous gen comp was out almost at the same time as non comp.

No if you want a new ‘real’ performance car you just buy a different model or brand. If you want a new BMW you buy a G87 or if you need a 4 door buy a G80, yes they are relative pigs but not near as much a pig as this tank.
Anyone who knows anything about performance cars is buying & holding on to ICE cars, despite the crap being regurgitated by brainwashed EV lovers you will be able to run ICE cars on synthetic fuels & the like, whilst EV’s will go by the wayside to make way for Hydrogen or whatever next trend the tree huggers decide is best.
I personally will buy an EV for my wife to go shopping in when they are comparable to the current ICE shopping trolleys (not even close currently) but as for a performance car… 🤣😂🤣forget it. An EV performance car is a contradiction in terms.

Not sure we’re talking about the same thing, but I don’t disagree with what you wrote.

In 10 years, ICE won’t even be a thing other than for us diehards holding onto our relics. The G87 as one of the (maybe the?) last RWD 6MT pure ICE ///M cars makes it special. But in 10 years, a discussion of “real” performance cars won’t include the ancient G87 and the likes at that point.

In every tangible way my G87 is lightyears better than my E46. But driving that old thing is unreal, and why it’s still in the garage. The early 20-somethings 10 years from now won’t even know what a RWD manual pure ICE engine car with hydraulic steering and brakes even feels like. Hence my point, what a “real” performance car is is opinion- and era-based.

[M3JetPilot]

I like them. M performance parts are very slimming. Makes it look at least a 1,000 lbs lighter.

[FSHNGRY]

Initial thoughts based on the M performance parts

*ONLY commenting because I have loaded my car with only M performance parts

Im impressed. They actually fit the front facia beautifully

Side skirts look great as well - NOT a fan of that "shark fin" towards the rear door piece - althought it is in line with the rear bumper super large diffuser

Still not a fan of the "thong" type rear diffuser with that gap in the middle

NOT to mention the need for HUGE exhaust tips

M Performance exhaust tips looks underwhelming for the space they have allotted in that area. Almost seems like it should be a 110MM tip


Overall - I am actually pretty happy with what has been released for the G90 M5


Just me .02

1000% would demand that "M-PERFORMANCE" not be on the rear doors

[zZnoevZz]

Unbecoming of an M5 to have those stickers.

[Neptune7]

I want to see actual performance. Not a parts bin. A ring or track record.

[Ovnah]

Looks like yall tried to fix something that wasnt broken. An now it’s really broken

it's carbon fiber, all of the parts together probably weight like 5 pounds. personally, i think it looks really nice. the weight is insane tho

[Philly_sweden]

There is NO comp. This is it.
CS we will have to wait and see.

[Evinrude1975]

Using carbon fiber parts on a 5,390 lbs car, it’s like wearing two drops of Chanel No. 5 after having popped in the pants
