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.

[@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

[@AndrewTSq]

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

[@bmwblog]

Ha. Good point

[@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.

[@WFO.]

Needs to be on Ozempic

[@bmwblog]

Why?

[@WFO.]

@@bmwblog Don’t get the joke?

[@Silver6533]

​@@WFO. I think a lot of Americans understand this joke! I can't say that Europeans understand it well. 😅

[@WFO.]

@@Silver6533 You’re right. Thanks man. Still can’t believe how heavy the M5 is

[@unowen-nh9ov]

​@@WFO.Jokes are funny. This is biggest 5er ever, M2, M3, M4.

[@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.

[@afonsobenfica453]

6:59 yup that's what I thought, it's alright if bmw is aiming for a more comfortable experience because afterall, they intent to make your driving easier and brute. Thank god they kept the v8 and went for a more retro styled design🔥

[@bmwblog]

They are. In the end, it's a business sedan, not an M3

[@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

[@tidaltidaltidal]

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

[@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.

[@troyjeup2861]

I wonder what the weight is with steel rotors and sunroof

[@bmwblog]

We will ask soon

[@troyjeup2861]

@@bmwblog thanks. Disregard the childish comments that are below they are in the minority. I appreciate the review it’s why I watched it and I suspect they watched the whole thing also. 😅

[@xavierdupuis8]

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

[@nicholasn.2883]

500 lbs left it could be so insane

[@shariqahmed5637]

You were definitely underwhelmed compared to all the other fan boys.

[@bmwblog]

I was just reporting what I felt behind the wheel.

[@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]

@@johnbmw550inon comp vs comp? Nice comparison I guess 🤦‍♂️

[@neel4509]

​@aliahmer9885 as per BMW there will not be a comp version of the G90

[@nicholasmasse]

Same

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@gw7624]

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 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.

[@johnbmw550i]

To BIG to Heavy to wide to expensive.........................will keep my F90 Ultimate thanks.

[@afonsobenfica453]

It's 1000€ more than the previous one

[@young48361]

Just returned my lease on M8 and was looking forward to the G90 but the weight of this thing is a total turn off. Will be looking at other brands

[@Venom198518]

Speaking before testing first hands. We don’t care

[@motorhead4875]

Too heavy for sheer drive pleasure.

[@michal.laskowski.]

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

[@Curtis-qg4ir]

Very disappointed.

[@skillz1855]

[@TheBimmer901]

That power will make up for the extra 400 kilos

[@jc74435]

Will the brakes and suspension?

[@bmwblog]

It might, but still feels heavy

[@biddyboy1570]

... until the battery runs flat

[@TheBimmer901]

@@biddyboy1570 not worried, ive been owning bmw m series for over 20 years, that power is underrated by 20+ at best
