This car accelerate from 60 km to 300 km in just 23 sec which is a lot faster than previous generation! After 200 km there is no way the previous generation can hang on!

Joe achilles got to 60 mph in 3.12
100 to 200 kph in 7.1
All reviews are good so i am keeping the order for the car

I think mine was 0-60 3.4 but again, cold tires, cold weather, different surface. I honestly didn't wanna spend more time than that on launch controls. I wanted to see more how it handles as a daily driver and then with the occasional dynamic driving.

My goal was also to see how the drivetrain handles compares to the XM as well, since some customers complained about that.

Here's a review that points out the good and bad about the new M5:

Make sense
These days 0 tl 60 means nothing
I was more worrued about handling comfort and highway performance but looks like the car is good overall

[Needsdecaf]

Shocked at how much Martin likes it. Hell, he mains about the G80 in AWD vs the RWD he owns.

Looking promising.

13:55 reminds me of my old ducati M1200s, you could twist the throttle open at low rpm and still take off it was intoxicating

The reviews and verdicts are coming in just as I expected. Bmw knows what they are doing and they can’t afford to screw up the M5. This car will be hot and there will be a lot of people eating their words as more reviews keep coming and people start modifying it.

I don’t think 3.1 is great considering the i5 M60 does it in 3.3?

Hell the i7 M70 does it in 3.1…..

Again, not worth the premium over an M60 given the fact the interior still is poor quality versus the previous generation. So what exactly is one paying an extra $40k for in the M5?

I think the M60 is the sweet spot right now….

Then don’t buy it. It’s not all about 0-60 times.

[Remigijus]

Why bother comparing V8 with i5?

We have to wait and see as more tests are done and tire/street conditions make a difference on 0-60. I have a feeling that the 0-60 may not be as fast as the last gen m5 CS but above 60 this likely will pull away and eat both the m5cs and I5 based upon videos.

Moral of the story we need more data.

I thought, and I could be wrong….Car and Driver initially had estimated like 2.7 for this car a few months ago in an article but in their release from yesterday they have changed that estimate to 3.0.

Didn’t say it was. I said the bigger issue is how much they have cut on the 5 series from the last generation….and they literally didn’t add any of this back on the M5 despite the $40k higher price. No soft close doors still?

I’m sure I’ll get one eventually….it’s just not a car I need to have at release.

Who knows..we need more official data. I'm also curious to see at what rpm it launches

The only review where he really brings some criticism to the table.

It appears to be an excellent car but worse than the F90

Nice job. Unbiased review. 👏

[Evinrude1975]

Well… From the GOAT (F90 CS) to the BOAT (G90)

[ASAP]

car and driver has an estimate of the 1/4 mile at 11 which all things considered for this level of car (730 hp) and price when a Tesla model S plaid does 8s... is really just not an improvement in any way... but i'll wait for real strip reviews... in 2024, I'd expect an M5 to be far faster

[ASAP]

The auto trader and top gear reviews focus heavily on weight... and point out its drawbacks... mentioning the car has truly lost its edge. At the same token... Joe Achilees pushes the car thru its paces then ultimately just says... the weight is what it is because you can't build a light performance car today lol... what?

I think this is what we would hope but the weight makes that quite a challenge. On the bright side everyone was so negative that nice to decent reviews look excellent. Overall it seems positive — which is good because it’d be so disappointing if there was a junk M5.

It seems the car is likely a good bit faster at the top end. I suspect it will lose to the F90 to the quarter mile but then beat it to the half mile. Curious what the trap speed for it at the quarter mile will be too.

Yea, it's probably a good overall car, it just kind of missed the overall point... you can see everyone is holding back on the weight comments since it's a big deal but they all know it's there. BMW Blog said weight doesn't matter then showed us a straight line acceleration run for some reason lol...

In a very weird way, it almost would have made it better just to be an all out EV... the interior is already EV like w screens all over, the sound isn't that great and then you get the penalty of weight by both ICE and electric. The argument made in one video was that some people track their M5s and ICE is better for that... i really would want to speak to the person who tracks a 5500 lb car... and if they are on here lol? Conversely, if they made an all ICE car at 700 HP, it would have made a lot of folks happy, you would have had a much lighter car and it would be far more dynamic... ultimately, i think what would happen there is there would have been the ultimate performance EV comparisons where it could get spankedv(even in some cases by an I5 M60)... i think their hands were very tied here and we got a somewhat subpar product in 2024.
