Understood this is subjective but the G90 M5 doesn’t look as good as the F90 M5. The looks don’t overcome its increase in power delivery for me. Am I saying it’s not the best “super saloon” on the market? No, it may very well may be. But if I’m going to purchase a performance BMW that size, it’s more likely going to be the X5M60 or XM. Either way, BMW gets my money. And before anyone from the peanut gallery chimes in. If G90 M5 and XM are considered pure M cars, the X5M60 is just as much a “pure” M car.

Are you crazy?

I own a 540i G30 (which as as quick as 2016 M235i) - it runs at best a 12.7-12.9 on 1/4 mile.

Embarrassing for you. Why do people feel the need to comment when their experiences are so far from anything relevant. General forum / BP feature always brings out the peanuts.

Age old hypothetical. The real test is when you are alone with your thoughts driving your non-high performance M, whether you truly believe that.

Considering emissions is admittedly the driving factor behind the G90 M5 and XM.. yes I do believe it.

Yup! Eventually... All will come around.

I assume you haven't taken an X5 M60 and a X5MC out for a test drive for you to make that comment. They drive and feel like completely different machines.

Thank you. There will be those that will make claims because it shares an S engine now yet totally forget it’s the chassis mated to the motor that makes the experience different.

if there is one terrible modern M car that award has to go to the X3M. What a piece of garbage.

How’d you come up with that?

Pre-LCI, yes.

LCI I thought was great.
