BMW M5 2025 - Review on track

This is the first driving review of the new 2025 BMW M5. We went to the iconic Salzburgring to test the latest generation G90 BMW M5. In this video, we take you around the track to showcase the capabilities of the new M5, talk about its power delivery, braking system, chassis stiffness, steering feedback and more.
By combining a twin-turbo, 4.4-liter gas engine with an electric motor, BMW M obtained a total system output of 717 horsepower and 738 pound-feet (1,000 Newton meters). A closer look at the specs sheet shows the “S68” (S68B44T0) combustion engine is good for 577 hp and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm). Its peak torque is available between 1,800 and 5,400 rpm. The engine delivers its maximum output from 5,600 to 6,500 rpm and has a rev limit of 7,200 rpm. Built into the eight-speed automatic transmission, the e-motor produces 194 hp and 207 lb-ft (280 Nm).

The best business to own in 2024 is brakes and tires, with the majority of 2024 car models weighing upwards of 2000-2500 kg

[@jiwang28]

michelin already create new tyre for this type of car

[@av8743]

@@jiwang28doesn’t matter can’t fight physics at this weight brakes/tires will wear much faster than we’ve been used to until now.

The tyre and brake technology is advancing the same time as the cars are getting heavier

[@AndrewTSq]

If BMW had called it M7 instead, I think people would have liked it.

[@bmwblog]

Ha. Good point

[@Schwabz33]

This thing will eat tires. Make sure you have $1000 set aside every 5-8K miles for new rear tires 😂

[@augustortiz]

1000$ per tire I assume because this refrigerator runs on expensive Michelins 😂

[@verycold5380]

If you can afford a 125k+ vehicle you can afford tires

[@philliptownsend2829]

If you’re tracking a car that’s pretty normal

[@knisarcpa]

Need to see the road performance. Highly doubt most people will ever take this to a track. If that’s what you want than get an M2.

[@bmwblog]

We will test it again in the fall

[@knisarcpa]

@@bmwblog yes, and I can’t wait for it. My comment was more to address those who thought the car was a flop.

[@sydsM3]

I got the g87 M2 specifically for that reason.

[@bmwblog]

Fun car

[@BboyVReck]

The M4. The weight difference between the M2 and M4 isn't much of a difference to me.

[@loooopeytunes]

Have no problem with the design, it looks minimal and agressive at the same time. But it's the weight. Waiting for the CS version, i hope they can shave more weight. I wonder if they can also replace batteries with solid-state to make it lighter. A high-performance sedan that weighs more than an SUV, what a shame

[@stankiah]

Pathetic. Gonna keep my F90 forever.

[@johnbmw550i]

Me too they can keep that donkey, it will not be quicker overal that a F90 Comp.

[@aliahmer9885]

I think the old gen feel better, the weight seem a problem here.

[@bmwblog]

The weight is always an issue

[@unowen-nh9ov]

Years ago Car and Driver reviewed X6, said you could use it tow your race car to the track & then race your tow vehicle, we've seen X on the Nurburgring for years, BMW have experience with this.

[@weynishwoochit-qp2ni]

What happen to this M5 sound ?? It seems soo quiet

[@bmwblog]

This is the European version with OPF. It sounds lower than the US version

[@hellodlo]

Lucky guy! we’ll have to see how it does against others

[@unowen-nh9ov]

Is there V8 Hybrid competitor? XM already took Pikes Peak record.

[@4youtu909]

Sad day..... Goodbye M.......

[@doyallsellcrablegs]

i think it’s cool, but i think it lacks the character that the last gen had

[@bmwblog]

Yes, not the same character. I agree

[@biddyboy1570]

1, how long does the battery last on track and... 2, how fast is it then?

[@bmwblog]

No info yet on battery, but I don't think it fully depletes 2. We did a 0-60 towards the end

[@soliddonkey3842]

I’m sorry because i love bmw(insted of some models that they recently showed)but i hope that this new m5 will not be sold much in numbers,only because for me is the only way that they can undestand how the m5 has been killed

[@Teejaay1]

Did you drive the i5 m60 too? Which one felt more dynamic?

[@bmwblog]

The M5 feels more dynamic. No doubt

[@Teejaay1]

@@bmwblog wow that's interesting, drove the m60, was an absolute beast to me already, but missed the real fun factor that only a V8 can give

[@vada.6024]

​@@Teejaay1 M60 also doesn't have the many 'real' M components such as suspension, M Xdrive etc.

500 lbs left it could be so insane

[@josephj.6858]

플러그인하브를 넣더라도 배터리를 작은 걸 넣지 XM걸 그대로 처 넣었네. 그러니 400kg이나 더 나가지. 3.5초 젠장 전작이 3.2촌데 뭐냐 이건...X6M으로 돌려야겠다. 순수내연기관으로

[@motorhead4875]

Too heavy for sheer drive pleasure.

[@jrzez]

I heard the M5 is so heavy now that if you crash two of them together head on that you can achieve what the super collider could only dream of, and finally reverse the mandala effect. On a more serious note, this car is disgusting, disgusting looking and it's weight is ridiculous. I hope it fails and that BMW has to fire their designers and body/chassis engineers. Why does a M2 weight that much?! Why does the M5 weight so much it impacts the tide more than the moon?

[@guapo1804]

Its just too heavy

[@michal.laskowski.]

quite heavy:):):) heavy as fu...!!!

0-100 3.5 sec, slower than the old F90🥱 what about if the tank are full and the driver 2.6-2.700kg😮🤦‍♂️old F90 is much better. This is the worst car bmw made and they let the BMW Fans down🤦‍♂️😞 so sad😢

Adding 400kg of batteries to make it more efficient is up there with the G22's grill in terms of bad decisions. My guess is that the weight distribution will be something like 55:45 F:R which is hilariously bad for an M car.

[@Fat-bananas]

Well, the difference is that the G22 grills were a create decision. Partially electrifying the car is something they're forced into doing because of tightening emissions regulation

[@gw7624]

@@Fat-bananas There's no real need to electrify M cars at present. Its fleet averages that matter, and low-volume models like the M5 have little impact on BMW's overall CO2 figures.
