2024 M5 Comp: 625 Horsepower (V8 engine) 750 Feet Pound of Torque 1,865kg (4,111 pounds) 2025 M5: 577 Horsepower (V8 S68 engine) 553 Feet Pound of Torque 192 Electric Power 202 Feet Pound of Torque from Electric 2,435kg (5,368 pounds) The 2025 M5 is significantly heavier, for obvious reasons. Nevertheless, once you run out of your electric battery charge (25-mile range), you are left with only 577 V8 horsepower to push a 5,368-pound car. What a disaster! And the rest, I am not sure where to go with it. What is up with not having a gear lever? I don’t think BMW is listening to their customers and clients anymore. Every interview they feed us a bunch of BS and the interviewers are afraid to ask tough questions. The BMW may fool new buyers, but not the BMW enthusiasts and the people who are loyal to the brand. You can’t fool us. Cheap plastic door panels, plastic carbon fiber-looking paddle shifts, and no carbon fiber steering. Yet, all of which is available on the M3 and M4 models. The rear diffuser truly looks like an afterthought. And the front kidney grill is identical to the i5 M60. What is joke! And I am sure BMW has increased the price beyond any measure to match the rest of the model lineups.

I know that this is a standard nowadays (I am looking at you mercedes) but that doesn't mean it looks great. That's why all those upper luxury brands try to avoid LCD screens as much as it is possible because that doesn't look good.

[@kishlayverma6622]

Although I do agree the car is a significant downgrade from the f90 m5, it's really more of a different take 9n the m5, it's more of a luxury saloon than a go kart handling 4 seat sports car which was the opposite for f90. Another thing I'd like to point out is that the battery would never run out of power as the engine will star recuperating it once the charge is low, it won't let you full 730hp but you won't be left with just 577hp.

I'm trying to embrace the new 5 series model and being an F90 M5 Comp owner I know things have to move on, however I just don't like it. There's no specific reason and I will probably grow into it (like the new fronts of the M3, etc), but for the moment I would rather spend my money on the F90. Speed and BHP isn't everything, and it sounds like the V8 engine in the new one has to rely on the electric motors to push it past the stock BHP of the F90 M5 Comp. The dash also looks very much like any other new model BMW (My son has a new 220i BMW and the dash is identical) so apart from the M1 and M2 buttons there's not much difference there either. So I'm glad they have bought out a new version M5 as it needs to have come, but disappointed with my initial thoughts. Oh, and where is the sound!?!? The only sound in the cabin I can hear sounds fake! Thanks for your video Joe, always very good and always very honest... 10/10 for the video, but probably a 2 or 3/10 for the car. Obviously this is my own opinion.

Hi mate! Same as me. Owner of an LCI 72 plate M5 Comp. Not sure what to think. 2.4 tons!! The f90 imo seemed to be the pinnacle of the M5 due to EU regs.

[@photonpilot__]

From what I've read and from my understanding of what makes a car handle good, the extra weight being the batteries under the floor actually helps with the way it drives. The batteries significantly lower the center of gravity making the car feel more planted and more confidence inspiring to the driver. Now if they could figure out how to get the weight back down while keeping the batteries and the center of gravity low, it be a millions times better of a car. It's still a boat after all.

Besides light weight, I want them to engineer back the steering feel/feedback that they engineered out,all in name of improved tech.

I really really wanted to love the new M5….but I think it’s disappointing. I’m sure it’s a great everyday proposition with the hybrid power train and general stuff a 5 series is always good at.

I totally get why lots of people don’t like the M4 styling, but at least it’s got some personality!

[@thevolthead]

My first ever job was in a BMW dealer in 1995. I worked in the dealer network for about 12 years and got to use some of their most iconic cars. I owned a 2006 M3 CS in Interlagos Blue in 2009 which was close to the pinnacle of M cars. A screaming straight 6 with over 100BHP per CC. I think this is absolutely ridiculous. 2.5 tonnes! BMW have thrown all their true performance values out of the window. I'd buy a second hand Porsche Taycan Turbo S which is faster and prettier than that because they're mega cheap used, then find a beautiful V8 E90 M3 from 2010, have it fully serviced as a weekend warrior. Or maybe find a mint low mileage E46 M3, or maybe an E39 manual M5. And I think i'd still have £10k change after you spec that hideous thing up. Oh dear.

It is slower 0-60 than the old M5. That is unacceptable. If it was hybrid and weighed 4 tons but was quicker and somehow magically handled well IMO that would be fine. But that isn't the case. its a DOWNGRADE from the old one. Looks are an opinion, numbers aren't.

I'd be keen to hear your views, if you're allowed to say, on how it performs compared with the F90, the F90 CS and G80 CS.

Please TELL me how a 4.4 V8 can make no noise at all from the outside ??? That is a crime . Yes glad we still have a v8 but it’s got so many filters it’s as quiet as ev 😢

[@lancegallant3647]

Its absolute 💯 % stunning 😍 even if the 0-60 is a little more so much better looking than the others!

[@roapcoaching917]

Excellent video Joe!❤

[@Screaming-Trees]

Great overview thanks. I am attracted to this I have to admit. I like the fact that it's hybrid. I mean I could do all my daily in-city driving just on electric power. That is kind of priceless. It is one reason why I was eyeing the new Mercedes E class hybrids but didn't ultimately go in that direction because, well I'm not an octogenarian. The M5 on the other hand seems pretty much drawback free. You get supercar performance more or less and you get that in a car you can drive every day. The weight is a non issue on the road. On a track maybe I don't know. But this is a road car. Would make for an amazing road tripper here in the US.

[@eugenux]

honestly, it can be the most comfortable, amazingly fast and other similar bla-bla...; I think that if you're not a teenager, these things mean very little; even if I would beat verstappen on sundays in one, I still wouldn't be interested; touch, feel, supplesness, engagement, interaction and connection with the road in front of me; 100-110 mph is really enough on a back road, you don't need 200.., no one needs actually. This is excessive and made me realise the last true m5 was the e39 one. Cheers!

[@tylercouture216]

E60 is just as amazing

You can summarise it like this: cars used to have vibe, this doesn't

[@presley1234567]

Stop lying Joe. It does feel it’s weight, it’s not so much faster than the previous model, cheap plastic bits and again, it will 100% feel it’s weight on our crap UK roads plus the stiffer ride. Pointless hybrid for what? The weight kills the BHP figures. Save your money and get a G80 M3 👍

@@presley1234567 it’s just pathetic how you lied about the the driving experience. Let’s be honest you didn’t get a chance to drive it. You were not even at GW. Again the only thing you are good at is being a hater. Plus you can never ever afford a M5.

[@Leviperlman]

I would love if they offered a non hybrid version, and kept the same horsepower from the 4.4L V8, but we would benefit from the new chassis, design, and technology!

[@kashifgul5110]

what happens once the battery runs out. you are left with a 2.5 tons vehicle, that will perform way worse than the current m5.

[@chrisgrehan8809]

When are manufactures going to move away from "gloss black" plastic trims? It is not a quality finish, it does not give the impression of a premium vehicle as it is found on the cheapest of vehicles these days. Oh and if you even look in its direction it scratches! its extremely impractical for both the interior and exterior of any vehicle.

It'll be interesting to see which direction Alpina takes with this generation of 5 series. Will they avoid using a hybrid system?

Great Video Joe, I am waiting to test drive the new BMW M5 at my dealer ship

[@pevvex4452]

Congrats for channel progression Joe and i am sorry for this M5 being so bad,heavy,ugly and screwed up with plug in scam system. Just not sure if you are able to say the hard truth but we all know how you feel about this 2.5 tones “sport” “eco friendly” car. If you could say the truth it should be something like “How to destroy the Legend by BMW”. I guess they wouldn’t invite you back. This is the dilemma of today’s journalism “the truth” or “the money” gl mate

[@peterhammer6915]

@@pevvex4452 I had my first car in 1977 (Beetle model 1971) and still 5 years ago I thought I would never have an EV. Have had 4 M-cars. Now I have had a Porsche Taycan since May 2021 and it's the best car I ever had, maybe par with the E92 M3 I had for 5 years. It's heavy yes, but feels way lighter (feels like 1800-1900 kg) when driving it. It's fantastic on curvy roads, especially in the Alps. My wife's car is a X1 e25 and it's the most solid car she has ever owned. Both our cars have around 75 000 km on the tacho. Yes the Taycan has some software tweaks but otherwise nothing. I would still wait to give judgment. Joe Achilles thought the G90 drives fantastically.
