The New BMW M5 Touring G99 | 727hp & 1000nm Hybrid | 4k

[@ollieb81]

It’s a shame they never made an F90 touring. It would have looked fantastic.

[@felixdornblueth]

There is the Alpina B5 Touring though

[@renas5371]

F90 touring would’ve sold like hot cakes, whereas I don’t think this will - BMW will say we’ve given people what they asked for but no one bought it, and so they won’t make another one. Trust them to release what people want on the wrong platform.

[@JoeAchilles1]

Agreed, the B5 T looks incredible 🔥

[@Woodbang.parametric]

You can say what you want but I'm just glad it exists. Yes, it's heavy, the front isn't exactly pretty but it's not another M version of an SUV. It's fast estate car and you just have to appreciate it.

[@Stilo95]

Why? What is to appreciate? Look at its predecessor! That one should be appreciated, not this Chinese sh*t!

[@biafo4541]

That's a refreshing way to look at it, with fast SUVs taking over we shouldn't care about looks for now and just be happy this exists

[@jaymum23]

Only problem is it weighs more than most SUVs🥴

[@51madmitch]

Dash is an utter mess, what are they thinking, why a backward Rev counter still, rest of the car looks great, those wheels look fun to clean, NOT lol.

[@nstarmore]

It may as well be an SUV at this point with the size and weight of it. Literally the only thing it has going for it against an X5 is a lower centre of gravity (and you'd look marginally less of a bell end driving it)

[@jackhiggs]

A real shame that they've ditched the rear window opening. Also the boot space is the same as the M3 which is unacceptable - it should be 600 litres at least. The drive train is epic though.

[@sriharisidharth3283]

Bout time BMW made an Antonov An-225 competitor

[@georgemutale8947]

This thing looks insane! Don't understand the hate.

[@zanstefe1310]

because its a hybrid (i dont care if it is, it looks great)

[@JoeAchilles1]

It's not bad looking, but not as pretty as the F90 generation in my opinion.

[@reznanita]

Looks are not the problem. Have heard it taking corners in Nurburgring. It is super heavy.

[@BollocksToThat]

The weight mainly. I also heard it doesn't feel as solid as previous 5 series'. But that was the normal car not M

[@hal9xxx321]

Because it looks soo bloated and bulbous like a damn whale... Weighs like one too

[@cristoferomezzatesta2992]

The thing I love about the RS6 is the massive wheel arches, it’s like a monster on its haunches. Harder to tell in this video and the lighting, but the M5 could do with a bit of a shoulder workout.

[@Pabla98]

Supposedly the m5 is 3” wider bc of the fenders, I feel like it’s just not picked up in camera

[@swiss889]

My mate had an rs6 it did 8mpg driven hard he soon got rid of it 🤣

[@TRHamza]

Yes Joe! Informative as always 👌🏼

[@JoeAchilles1]

Thanks legend 🙏

[@HeavyOnCars]

It’s been a 15 year long wait and it did not disappoint. The G generation M5 Looks much better as a Touring!

[@dougdougeson8692]

Absolutely loving this new Boeing m747

[@Staniii2360]

The 747 is lighter though. 😂

[@HassTahir]

I actually really like the new M5's styling, but I'm loving this Touring a lot more 😍

[@carlannanan]

One day when I'm big, I'll own this car. used to be obsessed with the RS6 but now I'm converted.

[@UKAviationMovies]

God, that's an absolute stunner. Can't wait to see your road test and review of this car Joe 🤘

[@MrQuashu]

And tbh M3 looks so so much better than this hippo.

[@AdamBrowne-eg1eb]

100 percent

[@Hammertime4404]

The latest M2 doesn’t have the carbon shifter paddles. Since the recent facelift they’ve gone back to the silver ones you get in a standard 220i

[@beckygair2272]

Wow what a car Love the colour combo Joe BMW through and through Great Video Joe

[@ryannesbitt8568]

Super proud of Joe and that he is reviewing the brand new M5 touring well done mate

[@schaeffs88]

Fantastic mate - been waiting for this review! I think it’s a worthy X5MC replacement!

[@E.PELLEGRINO]

Regarding Laserlight, you are correct... LED have become so powerful, that the laser light technology is not really needed anymore

[@petermumford9023]

Great video again Joe, now looking forward to seeing you actually driving this magnificent beast! I love it!

[@raiiiar]

The only beast like thing is that it's big and heavy 😢

[@tim1king]

Looks incredible! And another spot on first look video Joe 🙌. Great to see Chris in the video haha

[@georgipress]

I love that AMR green ❤

[@tomashley5869]

Great first take, Joe, on this incredible BMW. Cheers, Tom

[@Bimmer_Bill]

Love it! Screw the haters!

[@jamiec4478]

Wasn’t the biggest fan of the new 5 series on photos and videos. Finally seen one in person and it looked very good and aggressive. Can’t wait to see the m5 in person

[@Chris-yg3nj]

This HAS got to be your next car Joe!

[@Slugsy88]

I was really hoping this would look amazing. I'm absolutely gutted that it doesn't, it's not a patch on the RS6 and I'm a BMW fanboy. WTF are you doing BMW? The potential was massive but the outcome is disappointing to say the least.😭

[@sadman6295]

100% agree, I thought exactly the same. Had M cars for the last 20 years (currently own G80 M3, had M5 F90 prior) and I have to say the M5 touring is so disappointing, where are the flared rear arches this car needed BMW ???

[@eliaspemmerl5152]

​@@sadman6295it's way wider than an RS6. Go look at one in reallife, you'll change your mind very quickly.

[@1234567robbie]

@@sadman6295 Exactly I’m sorry but Audi design teem is streets ahead

[@Thisonegoestoeleven666]

This looks like absolute crap compared to an RS6. The front on the M5 is simply awful. And I like the latest M3.

[@vagjagan]

Wonderful review. Superb entry 😂

[@davidbillberg2203]

Haha, the intro! Epic! 727 hp and 1000 nm is crazy.

[@PH-io4fd]

2.5t is crazy too.

[@Bmwm340i]

Excellent presentation Joe. Love the car. In fact my dream spec. Keep up the excellent work Joe you’re smashing it 👍👍👍

[@BoneStarr2k]

Amazing, thanks Joe, I really like the style and design, that rear centre fog light is gonna get coded to a brake light in the aftermarket I'm sure

[@MiniEggs1999]

It will be interesting to see where they position the next Alpina B5 given I assume they will keep them as a low volume OEM. Maybe take the battery out, trick suspension and comfort seats in some very expensive leather perhaps

[@harryatkinson9757]

Looks great but I don’t think I would swap my M3 Touring for it……

[@raiiiar]

Absolutely. Hold on to that car for dear life.

[@ahorton6786]

Love the colour.

[@JoeAchilles1]

The beautiful Isle of man green!

[@Thisonegoestoeleven666]

Nice colour......shame about the face!

[@205500830]

Looks bonkers 👌🏿👌🏿

[@markrhoden68]

Imagine seeing this coming up behind you 😱 Love that BMW offers the option of different colour leather rather than dark greys and black 👏

[@millsey7991]

As soon as you said it's "good value" I spat out my tea. Maybe this is the problem with the ludicrously overpriced cars these days, people are accepting and justifying it which doesn't help with the greed of the modern world. Nice car though

[@SebsTech1]

Same, I thought 112k was absolutely ridiculous. Way nicer motors for that money.

[@JoeAchilles1]

Yes it's a colossal amount of money, but it's all relative, it's cheaper than an RS 6 Performance and massively less than an GT63 4 door or whatever they call it.

[@rajchoudhury5130]

Yes Joe!! Car looks savage! Nice

[@Thisonegoestoeleven666]

Oh dear. That is a face only a mother could love.

[@JohnInSale]

Seeing this makes me appreciate the M3 much much more , love the M3 nose as opposed to this as it just looks like a Škoda 🙃

[@Thisonegoestoeleven666]

Skoda looks better IMHO. This front end is very average.

[@JohnInSale]

@@Thisonegoestoeleven666 not to me, but I do love a Škoda too and in general a very good estate car, but this BMW M3 estate with that front grill just pips it for me 🫣

[@carlosandresaraujogonzalez1704]

Ey Joe! I have a question for you please. For the 2020 730Ld 900 miles range, what kind of tires (brand and dimensions - Runflats or Not) did you use to achieve that outstanding mpg and range?…looking forward to receive your answer and recommendation to fit the same tires in my 2020 730d car! Thank you so much for your assistance and recommendation! Thanks indeed

[@Youppp]

I love everything about it. Especially as its a plugin.

[@dmperry134]

Hi Joe, great video as usual, I drive a F90 M5 which I think is a better looking car than the newer version. I also have to agree with a lot of others that the RS6 looks and sounds better and I bet sells a lot more than the new M5 touring.

[@caribbeanseas]

Resale value of theses gonna sink faster than a rock in a river

[@AndreiGonzalesDesign]

Not sure if you even check, but a lot of the car forums are excited about the touring.

[@lovemussb1940]

I love it 👍🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@Misledband]

Also not to hate but this is 700/800kg heavier than the m3 touring?

[@raiiiar]

Which is already heavy.

[@cephasmakuzva]

I have been waiting for this. As an all round car id say the m5 touring is the best car bmw make all things considered. Get an ultimate pack m5 touring. Best 1 car garage i think.

[@rs22296]

Just doesn't look like an M car, doesn't even look like an M lite. Just looks like an electric car, I don't think this will sell well at all because they're not appealing to the target market. I get it though, they are easing us into having fully electric M cars.

[@Cars-k8e]

It will sell like crazy, same as the M3. In my opinion it looks awesome…

[@carcapone6455]

Looks nice only thing for me would be that big gap in middle off rear diffuser looks abit weird but the touring looks so much better then the saloon from rear

[@briangery7963]

I have alot of respect for the M5, and I’m sure this new car is a beast on the road, but I’ll take my RS6 performance with its old school, non-hybrid drivetrain all day long. Audi just does the complete package wagon better than their rivals and the 2024 RS6 performance is an almost perfect car.

[@quoman2232]

Delighted to hear that the saloon is only £110.000😂😂😂

[@rare6499]

Bargain, I will have one for each foot.

[@Delvy787]

My wishlist: edit down the exterior a little more, come up with a way to integrate the screens into the dash, bring back a gear lever an physical climate controls.

[@brownhairydog6472]

An m550i touring sounds perfect.

[@aneebaba06]

Rear looks awesome - both regular and M5 sedan rear is ugly. But it just works on the Touring. Finally coming here to the US. Looking forward to seeing this in person and even more importantly, on the road. Sorry Joe, you get the bronze medal tonight - Gold to bmwblog, silver to Raz. (don't worry just the order haha not actual ranking!)

[@sadman6295]

OMG BMW what are you doing?! , perfect opportunity to have a real competitor to the RS6 in the looks department and this looks like a standard 5 series touring. This BMW fanboy is so disappointed.

[@kevincockburn7805]

The front end has a whiff of the saab 9-5, that clarkson famoulsy likened to wearing dame edna everidge glasses.

[@davidzufferey330]

I rarely comment on your channel… as F11 touring driver, G31 is the last proper BMW Touring car. I will not spend anymore money on second or new car of my money on new BMW. Sorry. The party over!

[@mav1202M2]

I‘m too old for this shit.

[@neilmcguinness4422]

To me, it looks vile at first glance, but you just know it will drive fantastic regardless of it's weight, and those looks will grow on me for sure when I see one on the road, as it will have massive presence. I do understand the hate at first glance though. I felt the same about the new M2, but having seen how aggressive and threatening they look on the road, I now love the thing.

[@JAG2024-j4j]

I find it ugly though in overalls... rs6 look much better

[@gregstubbings7643]

@jokersweet I do agree the RS6 is much better looking, but I don't mind the look of the M5 Touring.

[@Ndumei21]

Amazing concept from Bavaria, but the the current design language isnt the best, sucks that everyone keeps shying away from this truth. Respectfully

[@northseawolf]

Any fast estate is a win in my book. Enjoy it while it lasts, I'm willing to bet easy access high powered cars days are numbered in Europe and the UK. GPS speed limiters are coming and the need for racing driving licenses and racing team insurance costs for anything over 200bhp are less than 10 years away

[@xatarskoftespie8844]

Just checked the BMW site and noticed that it consumes 67 liters of fuel per 100km when the battery is empty. How the fuck is that even possible? They legitimately build a tank.

[@Staniii2360]

You‘re mixing things up or it’s simply wrong on the site. They mention 61-67km electric range.

I want all BMW enthusiasts who detest the latest designs and consider them a destruction of the character of iconic cars like the M5 or the 7 Series to know that the author of those atrocities is Demagoj Dukec, a designer of such low caliber that no one will ever understand why he is in that position. The current M3, which perfectly embodies the BMW style and character, was designed by Anne Forschner, a great designer who is competent and passionate about cars and who deserves to be in Demagoj Dukec’s place.
