Here we go BMW fans, this is the one you’ve been waiting for… BMW M5 GENERATIONS DRAG RACE!!
We’ve got every generation of BMW M5, from the original E28 through to the F90, and we’re about to find out just how much the BMW M5 has come along since it first rolled off the production line.
So let’s see how they all compare. Starting with the E28, it’s powered by a 3.5-litre naturally-aspirated straight-six that can deliver 286hp and 340Nm of torque. This power is sent to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual. Going up against it we have the E34, which houses a 3.8-litre naturally-aspirated straight-six that can put down 340hp and 400Nm of torque. And just like the E28, power is sent to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual gearbox.
Next up we have the E39, which is housing a 5-litre naturally-aspirated V8 under the bonnet! As a result, it’s way up on power compared to the E34, putting down 400hp and 500Nm. However, it still only comes with a 6-speed manual gearbox, and of course, power is sent to the rear wheels only.
Alongside this though we have the glorious E60, which comes equipped with an incredible 5-litre naturally-aspirated V10! This monster can put down 507hp and 520Nm of torque, with all that power being sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed robotised manual gearbox.
For the final two cars, we’re switching up to dual-clutch automatic gearboxes. Starting with the F10, it’s powered by a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 that sends all its power to the rear wheels. However, the latest generation, the F90, is not only up on power (with 625hp and 750Nm), but it also comes equipped with four-wheel drive!
So will the F90 clean up against the opposition? Or could we have an upset on our hands? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Most people may not have loved the design, but the engine certainly was nothing to complain about~ So much power even to this day, and the raw sound of a N/A V10 is just spectacular. Too bad after the R8 and the Huracan being discontinued, there aren't any N/A V10s anymore. Actually, another complaint, the SMG transmission is not the best, but hey, you can't win em all. I don't think it was a bad transmission, you just have to get used to it, and some people like it because of the ferocity of the shifts.

S85, contrary to the opinion of couch racers, is considered one of the most reliable engines, and it is more reliable than S63 on F10 and F90. it just so happened that people were not ready for such a technologically advanced motor. It needed maintenance comparable to any sports car, not an ordinary car. More frequent oil changes and more expensive consumables, people were not ready for this then, and killed these motors

[@paulharper4196]

Similar to my e39 which had been unloved by its previous owner, I spent the money on it replacing things that had been cheaped out on and it transformed the car. As my foreman at the time commented, when the car was about 14 years old, "she's getting on in years but she's still a thoroughbred and needs treating as such"

[@county_bear9509]

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

E60 has the best engine out of all the M5s by far, but it also has the worst reliability out of all of them, since they have a tendancy to blow up and not work from rod bearing failures, so better change them sooner than later. Same issue with the E90 M3 with its 4.0L V8. Both are pretty much the same engine with the same problems. Surprised this E60 didn't have a problem with its engine after all the brutal launches it did. I'm sure the owner did their due diligence with their E60.

@@Solotocius not really, e34 was built in 1992 which is even more impressive, nowadays bmws are too much forced into the details.

That E60 still goes very well . Sounds so exotic.

God damn, the step up from the f10 m5 30 jahre to the f90 m5 is wild

Rwd vs fwd. They'll only ever be one winner off the line.

I enjoyed this format. Nice work to everyone, keep them coming P.S. Massive thanks to the F10 owner. Your sacrifice shall not go unnoticed

[@StoneColdza]

That E60 sounds the most badass of them all for me personally - when it picks up speed on the swing camera shot and by the time it reaches the 1/4 mile mark.

[@lyriqalflame2965]

I just love the e60 v10 ❤

[@JamesDean-yo8wm]

an F90 is my eventually attainable dream car. I mean i would be a whole lot of upgrades but man I'd love one

[@cylentone]

Great fun as always. What non German speakers don't realize is they're having fun with Daniel & Mat in the translations...he is often saying something totally different from what you read in the "translations" 😉

[@ShariaLawAllDay]

You cannot help but claim that the pinnacle of all M5's is the E39. That glorious 5.0L V8 is too freaking good. Still looks timeless, sounds gorgeous, and with a manual gearbox it completes the picture.

[@paulharper4196]

Having owned one I would agree. It was utterly sensational, and mine had a rear muffler delete so the sound it made was insane.

[@BeachJedi101]

💯

[@Editionsz]

They’re just ugly

[@GeorgiKolevPetrov]

Too bad that the 5.0 is actually a 4.9L

[@ExalyThor]

Best regular 5 series for sure, but not the best M. That title goes to the e34.

[@nupenchampaneri5676]

Then and now, the BMW E 60 M5 is my all-time favorite. A deadly combo of beauty and sheer power.

[@mr.tuerkenbart]

The last BMW is amazing 😮😮❤

[@AcousticHills]

My favorite is the E39, best car ever made. Easily worked on without any crazy special tooling and the looks... such a nice looking car.

[@slickidrich490]

As a 5 series owner I'm buzzing for this. Thanks for this and happy Saturday people

[@purwantiallan5089]

As a 5 owner this is definitely must own.

​@Thequrbanov062 you clearly are under the age of 25, m5's have continually became less and less about the motorsport heritage. And not to mention the e34 can still make more power then even the brand new one

[@lautz88]

The e60 is the lastl manly Bmw. All subsequent models became more girly and round and boring

[@oB_Session]

I had the M6 V10 back in the day, man I miss that car. It was legendary fun.

[@makaveliyya971]

BEST TEST💪

[@CarCrazy24]

People forget how great the E60 is. I miss mine dearly, sensational car. 204mph top speed without a limiter ❤

[@trezspre]

I just got myself a f10 m5 stage 2 with 720hp and it just feels soo unreal, legit went from golf mk2 1.6 to that and its one of my dream cars

As an owner of a 2006 M6 it is a brilliant car, has been reliable to me 5 years with it. Rod bearings serviced and all regular maintainance done.

How'd mat miss the biggest jump in carwow history with the f90 in 2wd mode ? 😅

[@mohamadou4695]

Crazy cuz yianni would’ve never let that slide, not that Matt would’ve won but still

[@SanderVandeWiel]

Actually pretty surprised about the massive increase in performance for every generation of M5.

[@jamest5149]

Surprising how close the E60 M5 is to the much more powerful F10… great content guys 👍

[@TR850]

Waiting for a similar comparison of Mercedes E sedans starting with the 500E or E500. I am especially curious on W211 E55 vs W211 E63 as well as W212 E63 with M156 and M157 engines, as basically these two platforms came with two different engine options through the years. How do they perform?

[@vista1456786]

All incredible pieces of engineering. Very entertaining drag race. E60 and E39 are my favourites.

[@WestLondonTransit]

Anyone notice that the F10 (M5 30 Yara) and the E60 M5 Has actually been on carwow for a long time near when they started drag racing! The E60 M5 was used in a race against an M140i and an 840d in 2019!

[@thabihotboy9376]

Yep

[@AlexGray]

Good call, I remember that race. E60 must rarely get driven.

[@shimozo]

Those metal balls from the F10, those are from the propshaft CV joint where it meets the rear diff. I've had these apart on my E46 and trust me, I know them well, because they're a PAIN IN THE ARSE 😅

[@tholichili9123]

@MatWatsonCars could you please do the BMW M4 competition 2020 vs MERCEDES AMG C63S COUPE race

My favorite is the E60 M5, especially the video from TopGear back then was really brilliant.

[@The.cycling.firefighter]

That's my all time fave episode. That made me want to get the car. And I'm glad I owned one for a year haha..

[@rckp9619]

The E60 might take longer to get there, but the journey will sound EPIC!

jump start for the german carwower almost every time lmao

[@davidglorias9597]

Man that last race just shows that torque matters off the line and Hrspwer is good for top end speed

[@blaketindle4703]

20:57 Daniel definitely jumped! Not that it really would have mattered.

[@sale666]

I love the F90 but that E60 is such a good car and that sound like an F1 sooo nice!

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

I'm sure I heard that that 5.0L V10 was meant to sound like an F1 car.
