Carwow M5 Estate (wagon) drag race !

M5ZRH · 04-12-2025, 03:54 AM

Battle of the Estates 👌🤩
Rubbish driver in the M5? Can he launch properly ? …or not ? Downshifting while braking…?… Mmm…

subterFUSE · 04-12-2025, 04:03 PM

On the second race, the BMW jumped the starter early and still lost. Just sayin'

CarlosM4 · 04-12-2025, 05:23 PM

Man embarassing showing from the G99 M5.

There will certainly be a performance upgrade, whatever this new, more powerful version is called. I expect an upgrade as early as Q4 / 2025. So I will wait for it...

unless they're dropping a new gearbox into the car in Q4 '25 you aren't getting more power

M5 pulling a lot weight off the line and you can see it

I am not surprised with the results as RS6 has better power to weight ratio. Atleast G99 is better than merc amg 🤫

That E63 was underperforming as they have timed it previously as 11.1s on the 1/4 mile. Nonetheless for some reason the M178 on the E63 is having trouble keeping its power over time. Many Carwow races have shown us this.

Stockholmarn · 04-14-2025, 01:42 PM

Will be more interesting to see how it compares to the E53 and upcoming RS6 considering the burden of hybrid.

supershaft · 04-14-2025, 01:54 PM

You couldn’t pay me enough money to drive a rs6

TN_3 · 04-14-2025, 04:49 PM

Did you guys watch the rolling races???

thaalrasha · 04-15-2025, 05:14 AM

I don't know why the M5 was not in DSC OFF... The saloon easily goes faster than the RS6, not sure why the touring has such performance gap with the G90 unless it wasn't launched properly...

Alan l. · 04-15-2025, 05:33 AM

on the roll the M5 just walked away which is what most people will encounter. It seems like the rear springs on the Touring is softer and it's hindering the launch with the way it bounces.

People can critique looks of the M5 all they want but in that image above the ass of the M is by far the best looking. I was set on getting mine in MBB but I might have to go with the lighter color to highlight the design elements.
