M5 2019: why the BMW M5 Competition Package is worth the extra $7000

New to The Fast Lane With Joe Tunney? Here's a short, funny video to get you up to speed: • Joe Tunney car salesma...
The color is Grigio Telesto Pearl...you rarely see it on M5's.
So much is different from the standard M5 to the M5 Competition that it's almost a new body style altogether. Really? What could be that different? Let's take a look.
2019 BMW M5 Competition review - and a great big thanks to my friends at BMW of Hawaii for giving me access to such a relentlessly fabulous car!
The 2019 BMW M5 competition has 617 horsepower, 17 horsepower more than the M5.
The 4.4 liter S63 twin turbo V8 has 25.9 psi of turbo boost and 5000 psi fuel injectors - we talk about why those things are such a big deal and what BMW did to cope with the new power.
The 2019 BMW M5 competition sits 7mm lower than a standard M5, has shortened front links and no rear toe link bushings whatsoever, opting for ball joints instead.
The 2019 BMW M5 competition wheels are 6.6 pounds lighter than the stock M5 wheels.
The M5 Competition ceramic brakes are 42 pounds lighter than the standard M5 brakes.
The M5 competition exhaust is a sport exhaust that is a bit meaner than the standard M5 exhaust.
The M5 competition for 2019 has cross bolted main bearings for added strength.
The M5 competition motor mounts are 55% stiffer than a stock M5 yet the interior is vibration free.
The m5 competition trunk is 19 cubic feet.
M5 competition mpg is 15 city and 21 highway - overall, the M5 competition fuel economy is 17 mpg combined which is astounding for a 4300 pound all-wheel-drive.
The m5 competition 2019 wheelbase is over 117 inches long and it is very roomy for 5 adults.
The 2019 BMW M5 competition 0-60 is tested at 2.8 seconds.
The 2019 BMW M5 competition 70-0 brake distance is 146 feet or within 4 feet of the Ferrari 812 Superfast.

I am considering an M5 in 2021 but after your review I need to drive both the regular and the competition package before I could make a decision.

The M1 had 277 hp and when it made its way into the original M5 it made 286 hp in Europe, but was rated only at 256 hp in the US due to additional emissions equipment.

Joe, currently drive an M5 and seriously looked at the competition... I agree that the price increase is worth it but at the same time, the comp is not for everyone and I didn't realize it until I drove it. If this is your daily family car and you drive a lot like me, I'd argue you'd be happier with the non-comp as it's more comfortable and not as loud. For those who care about the extra HP, get a chip/tune and you're comfortably over 700 HP with minimal effort/cost and zero hardware changes.

[@everycarSeattle]

I'm going to guess Mike that having an M5 as your daily driver might be the most entertaining way to spend an hour a day behind the wheel that this generation of cars has to offer.

Transmissions make a difference because some of us have taste. power Glid dct hydra10 2 speed bump 4 banger Hi-lo shift they matter to a cars driving experience. James bond does not want a manual in his superlegera when hes running from merc vans with machine guns mounted on them. and he wont be in auto mode either. At least not while hes shooting. Also it has more to do with control i want to KNOW its me and i wont be interrupted by a computer when i shift. that is 90% of it for me. The method of it being "ME" matters only in the character of the car im driving. All new MT transmissions (*that are worth mentioning*) need no clutch, and they are just DCTs, Multi-clutch, or Robust Singles with sticks. It isn't really YOU either. Hop in an old car when your leg and hip hurt thats how you know it is YOU.

[@everycarSeattle]

All I ask for is the option to have a traditional 6 speed or whatever flavor du jour transmission concept people are doing. I don't care if it's slower or if it makes me look stupid, I just prefer a manual. But I respect just how far automatic transmissions have come.

Thanks for adding. One of the best video about new M5 I’ve seen. I’m tore between standard M5 & competition model. Now I’m more clearer what I would want. Thanks again. One quick question, for daily commuting drive & motorway long-distance drive, will competition model compromise too much on comfort? Or most people would hardly notice the difference? Lastly but not the least, residual value between standard M5 & Competition Pack model, how much of difference it will be say after 3 years? Many thanks!

[@everycarSeattle]

Hi Vincent. I thought the Competition was going to be abusive, but it's not rough at all. However, the road feel and driving experience are awesome and a big plus for the Competition. As for resale value, the Competition will not only be more valuable than a standard, it will be a near-certain collectible in the future. Thank you so much for taking a look!

[@everycarSeattle]

It's stiffer, but not by a lot. I don't think you'd notice if you weren't looking for it...however, it has more of an immediate personality where every single thing seems to happen at maximum level right now when you're driving it in a fun way, but for just cruising around it's just a normal car.

The Tesla Model S P100D is the quickest sedan in the world at 2.28 seconds 0-60....so while the BMW is impressive the Tesla holds the title for the fastest 0-60mph production sedan in the world.

[@everycarSeattle]

The Tesla is an entirely different kind of experience T R for which there is no comparison...Although the Tesla gives up it's advantage after about 0-75 and beyond, it's still the widest car in the world from a thrill-seeker perspective in terms of straight-line snap. In a normal car it feels like you are a bullet racing through the world - in a Tesla it feels like you are standing still and the world is coming at you at a million miles an hour since there is no visceral connection to the powertrain. A day racing the M5 Competition and Tesla P100D would have to be about the most fun day in the world.

[@SM-zw4ky]

Tesla is indeed faster straight line but such different experiences. I've had a number of high performance sedans including the P90D and it is far and away my least favorite car. Ultra cheap interior for the price, lots of useless gimmicks, a huge screen that constantly requires you to look away from the road....I made a mistake. Long story short, I ordered the M5, it's a bargain for what you get.
