G90 vs F90 M5 Comp races by Arab GT

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Good races by Arab GT, G90 beating F90 M5 till 200 Km/h, looks like F90 M5 will only beat the G90 at autobahn speeds 200km/h+

That’s awesome!

Wonder why earlier drags weren’t as impressive as this. I’ve seen some against the LCI Comp, but it’s not like the power difference/shift speed is that huge between those and the pre-LCI. I skipped around the video, is this G90 post break-in?

The biggest shocker is that these Arab drivers are driving in a controlled environment ... as opposed to going nuts on the freeway.

Watching this M5 video now… these things are loaded with plastic and if there are buttons they are plastic/electronic as well. Cabin lighting, climate control all adjusted on a touchscreen. Design not the refined appearance of BMW for my preference. Hope they recover design wise. They are fast though dam!

They didn't mention if it's broken in.

Most impressive is the way it pulls in the roll races.

Those races are in Dubai's warm weather so maybe that's why the G90 is performing better with the batteries.

They are amazed how the car performed, it was above expectation. Everything is nicer in the G90 but the didnt like the interior black piano finish because of fingerprints. Also they didnt like how the car sounds compared to the F90 and they repeated that alot

I live in Saudi Arabia and I was amazed how the car performed in Dubai (almost same weather) 100-200 in 7.2 thats crazy for a 2400kg stock car

Nice, that seems promising to me here in Brazil. It appears to perfom better in warm weathers, probably due to the battery. Nice.

Thanks for sharing this.
Fantastic comparison and truly telling of how quick the G90 truly is going right up against its predecessor., 👍🏽

you can turn on Auto-Translate to English in the YouTube settings. This will show the subtitles in English.
