Great review, Harry. BMW need to pluck whomever the lead was on this car and make him or her the top boss, particularly on the M cars. Just when I believed BMW was too far gone, they released the M5 CS. It’s hard to believe this is from the same marque that that makes the XM, iX, and some of the other abominations. This car is what BMW and M of old are supposed to be about: usable, daily performance, and unmatched dyanamics. Granted price is starkly different to the past. Big win for BMW, but we need more like it.

2 for sale atm for 169k! Absolute madness. Honestly finding it hard to tell who these are built for, all the people that will actually use the car and love BMW cars are priced out. It's just going to sit in a garage and be resold constantly at low miles.

[@fakevirus8828]

Thats what they price them like that for they don't want milage on them. BMW know they are so poorly made they need to keep the numbers down or the cat gets out the bag. M5 is now so unreliable it's criminal

[@gobinduppal4429]

@@fakevirus8828 that's not true at all. Just making things up. The E60 M5 had all kinds of problems. I will say BMW should be ashamed of the S85 and S65 engines. They were developed and manufactured from the start to only last so many miles. Even with regular maintenance, the engines won't last more than around 80k miles. Imo that isn't a well designed engine. Doesn't matter how exotic it is. A well engineered engine is designed to be high performing and long lasting. Idk how BMW can expect that to be ok.

Um - I think you meant to agree with him.

[@alexmartinez280]

@@gobinduppal4429 Your way off base. My S65 was up to 164k miles + and was super strong. On original rod bears mind you. It’s all about who cares for the car and how/ how often it’s driven. Those engines thrive when daily driven and are two of the best engines ever made by BMW M (100% bespoke btw) or any premium manufacturer. The S65 is my favorite V8 of all time with its uncorked personality rivaling the big boy exotics any day of the week. Go back and give them another real world test and I believe your mind will do a proper 180.

[@bjornar9026]

Great review. About the Nurburgring lap time: it was a test conducted by Sport Auto magazine. Had it been set by a factory driver, like so many of the other times (for instance the P8’s time - which by the way is 7.23, not 7.18), the M5CS would typically be 5-10 sec faster than the now achieved time.

[@ertugrulbae46]

And the fact that it ran on Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres instead of semi slick Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2s...like many other cars such as the GT63s and the M5's little brother BMW M4 AWD which actually BEAT the M5CS by 1 whole second! So official BMW run + Michelin Cup 2s....I reckon it wouldn't beat its rivals..but absolutely blitz them by double digits

[@grahamariss2111]

Up to a couple of decades ago the M5 offered a usable and useful performance uplift over the "cooking" 5 series, but now its a superb engineered solution to a question few if any are asking anymore, because the high end 5 series now have all ther performance and more than you can use, whilst being more subtle to look at and easier to live with. Which probably explains why they built less than half the number they planned.

[@luminox1]

Exactly why i got a M550i instead of an M5, much easier to live with overall lol

What a strange world where to get the best dynamic M5 you have to give up things like interior storage and folding bench seats in the back.

Why is deemed OK for brake callipers to be a colour which totally does not match the rest of the car. Imagine if the bonnet or the wing mirrors were bright red, it would look awful but the brake callipers seem immune from taste for modern sport car manufacturers. Really gets my back up.

[@marinedrive5484]

I was passed on a country road by one of these big BMWs, recently and the thing I noticed about these Teutonic powerhouses is that, as they go past, they seem to say: 'move aside, get out of the way, coming through.'

[@timmietz]

Thank you very much for this review Harry, I will certainly looking forward to it. I also am hopeful that you were going to do a head-to-head review of the P8 versus the CS. You did end up selling me on the P8 over the CS, by the way. Here in the US, the P8 was selling for basically the exact same price that the M5CS. Because all of the M5CS sold with a dealer markup. Jaguar’s smaller size is definitely a big advantage in my book

[@Andrew4181975]

Anyone that pays that dealer markup or "market/price adjustment" is a Moron even for a car like this or anything. The dealers that do it should be punished by losing that car franchise too. Artificial market manipulation is against the law, but I know Porsche has been doing it with their crazy 911s for like forever.

Great video and review Harry. Very pleased to say I'm one of the luck 26 owners of this beast of a car. Brands Hatch Grey though.

Looks strange yes but eventually, otherwise, they'll wear out with inevitable scuffing during the entry and departure malarky.

Congrats on being able to get hold of one, it's a mighty thing! Interesting you say yours is one of 26 in the UK, it was really hard to get true numbers for the M5 CS as BMW UK didn't /couldn't give any info away!

[@550LMS]

Halfway throught it, I really want to love this M5 but IMO it's got a bit of an identity crisis, and some weird ideas of ''weight saving'' on a 1900kg+ car such as deleting of the arm rest storage...how much does that really save vs the inconvenience caused? IMO the greatest M5 was the E34 and E39. I love the engine of the E60, F10 was hugely capable...I just can't see this joining the list of greatest M5's. Love the seats though. For the extra cost of this CS package, you could buy a new M5, E34 M5 and E39 M5....kinda a no brainer for me.

[@Jay-ww4ru]

Well, IMO it's just for the show, a limited number to show off what they could do. I think not only does M5 have the identity crisis, but the entire BMW and M also have it too, and the CS models, just to save face for their not up to former glory products.

I’d take a B5 Saloon/estate all day long. So much more versatile - and unless you are a seriously talented driver wanting to go balls out on the public highway, the CS will be no quicker. Alpina’s are better 95% of the time. And SO much cheaper. Horses for courses.

[@Duncangafney1]

Indeed, although even the Alpina is so fast, you can't enjoy wringing it out and that's part of my issue with all these modern performance cars, they are so fast, that 99% of people do not have the skill to ever exploit them and you cannot safely do so on the road, at which point, for fun at least, many older models are far better bets, especially if you do things like modernise the brakes. They have steering that talks (where electric systems don't), the chassis talks, they don't have loads of electronic nannies you need to switch off and the performance is more than enough to allow you to dispatch slower cars easily and safely. It's why I'll stick with my E46 coupe, even though it's the diesel, great chassis, good steering, good gearchange, looks beautiful compared to the modern ones and even sounds nice and not once, have I ever thought, you know what, I need more grunt.

Its one thing i like about BMW M cars and M-Lite cars, they are generally not overly loud. When driving hard sure they make some more noise, but when cruising around not beaning it the cars are generally pleasant sounding, but not annoyingly loud. I understand the drama of noise, but it would just irritate me over time if i had to live with it constantly. A mate of mine thought his number one car would be the Subaru WRX STI he bought back in late 90s, but he sold it within 12 months and got a BMW 330ci because the noise irritated him after a few months, because it was all the time.

Thanks for another video Harry. A DCT doesn't have the refinement of the torque converter box, but it feels so much more sporty. However, the refinement suits the M5. My take on it is that they might have gone this route to accommodate both two and four wheel drive models with the same box. Perhaps ZF already had this in place where a DCT equivalent was not available or very expensive or had to be developed.

I painted my 1958 landrover the same frozen green. It looks amazing

Great review as always but at the end of the day I can get a Aston Vantage for that money and exclusivity and better ride quality and almost as quick!

The 2018-2020 M5C were doing 3 second 0-100 kmh. This is somewhere around 2.6 to 2.8 seconds

Great review, but when talking ring times it’s worth taking into account that the CS time has come from Sport Auto's test driver Christian Gebhardt and he’ll typically be 10’s off a factory driver who knows the car.

I had a day at the Porsche Exerience Centre a year or 2 back, and drove a 911 PDK and Cayenne auto. On the 'release the beast' runway (launch control), I preferred the Cayenne; the change was fast-and-smooth; the PDK felt brutal with high impluse loading all the way through the transmission, with the ultimate feeling of fragility. Do Porsche (and others) count the number of PDK (DSG...) launches for servicing/warranty purposes?

So pleasing to see that 182 trophy at the back, countering the beast

Very nice Review Harry, love that spec!

[@ZeGermanHam]

I don't really agree with the seats BMW used for the M5 CS. Regardless of whether we're talking about an M5 CS or Comp, people use the M5 as an everyday super-saloon, not a track toy, and I think those seats will get old very quickly. Also, why seal front center console and delete it in the back? Again, this is not a Porsche RS...

[@GoldenCroc]

Will any M5 CS really be used as an everyday car? Cant be many, I would think... So thats the answer, probably.

Harry We need an AMG model e63s or gt63s4 , gtr pro or black series review please .!!

That Bugatti bombing this review has me really intrigued me for the future review ❤️

[@peterlewis3540]

All we need is for Ian to do a strip down of the engine to see how it ticks, and the video would be perfect.

[@YouArentSlick]

I’m very curious to know if you could tune the chassis of a standard M5 or M5 Comp to feel as good or better than this. Amazing car but the price makes you wonder what exactly you’re paying for

[@jameswillard1]

The M5 CS is whole bunch of little changes that add up to a far better driving car and some of the changes to the steering and front/rear suspension can’t be retrofitted aftermarket while some of the settings (toe/camber) of the suspension and the tires obviously could be

[@YouArentSlick]

@@jameswillard1 that’s true, but still I wonder how close you could come

Big fan for years Harry - a request that you might ignore because your insights data may tell you different. Can you test a few more classics. Apart from your own cars the last year has seen a drift towards more new metal. All your content is top quality tho, but I do like your reviews of classics.

[@mrc7966]

Have to agree, a lot of this very new stuff leaves me a bit cold personally. Always enjoy getting Harrys' well qualified take on older cars I've often wondered about.
