New M5 Competition LCI! BUT is an Old M5 better?!

[@RemoveBeforeRace]

Like I said in the review, if it was my money a pre-facelift standard M5, or more realistically the E63S from 2017. But that’s just Mr.AMG’s private bias talking! Carry on.

Here I am, with my 520d, watching this video for unknown reasons...

[@TheNeil20091]

No. You carry on. That’s what we here for, your honest review, no fluffy pie in sky talk. If were my money that I don’t have right now I’d say the same or if money not an issue then look no further than mr p Panamera. As for the exhaust sounds, bwoy oh bwoy, don’t bother fighting it, that’s where we heading in this car world. Silent electric !!! I’m turning over in my grave before it’s even happened. Keep up the content

[@nicklevin9321]

Standard 2018 is what I have and don’t regret it for a second. The power difference is insignificant (if there really actually is) as both cars run the quarter mile in 10.9 seconds. I’ll take a softer suspension every day of the week since I track the car once a year and drive it to work 200 times per year.

[@craigmoorcroft950]

@@nicklevin9321 I 2nd that!

[@alstound]

Pre-facelift E63S is literally a big C63S in design, quite disappointing when the midsize Merc used to have its own design language, while the C and S were pretty much small and large versions of each other. The M5 is also simply the more polished, more accomplished car. It’s ever so slightly better in a lot of areas.

To me the recent years M power cars really shine because of the competition models. Markus Flasch once said in late 2019 or 2020 that around 90% of M power cars are competition ones. The entry level ones are more like a marketing strategy just like AMG 63/63s. Not many people really want a normal AMG or M. When they spent similar money they almost always choose the best version. They would even think the power is not enough and have a tune. The concept is about 'too much is just right.' These car owners usually have many cars as well. I think if people really care about the daily use that much they will just choose a M50i or AMG 53.

[@et7443]

You're the best. Finally someone talking about M performance parts which is huge factor for BMWs. Also, you could show us some individual colors which would be great to spec on a car.

[@alb7293]

What an absolutely breathtaking car. Really one of the best looking sedans I have ever seen

[@Blankadoodledo]

You think pre-lci m5 comp suspension was really that harsh? Interesting. I have the 2019 m5 comp and suspension is not bad at all, and this me talking with NYC roads. The e63s was way worse, harder and jarring. The m5 comp is def softer. Now, the non comp m5 is a beautiful balance. Best suspension out of all 3 for rough roads.

[@goguhu]

I'm with you. I find it totally fine. More comfy than my M3 and 911. I drove it hard on a gravel road with wash-boards, and it handled like a charm (very impressive) and was no issue at all. Yeah it's not a boat, but it's not really hard in my eyes/butt.

[@marqueswilliams1752]

you have an M5 and you drive it on 95, 287, and 684? youre crazy bro ahah.

[@PrinceBarin77]

Same - I was worried about this but was prepared to compromise. In reality, the car is absolutely fine and a long (UK) journey with the family this past week just reaffirmed that (my wife will be the first to tell me if she doesn’t like my cars!). My only criticism is at low speeds over speed humps and potholes - it can be a bit crashy so you have to really slow down - but it’s a tiny compromise given the upside of how well this car handles and behaves at speed.

[@landenbeat]

@@goguhu What do you do for a living lol

[@mashruhkhaled3457]

I actually agree with Ras. The ride in our m5 competition can be a little more comfortable in comfort mode. My rs5 has s much better ride. The 911 gt3 feels hard but that's more of a track car

[@goguhu]

The M X-Drive is def. impressive. It can put down all the power and never feel like it's interfering. 2WD is only to giggle that you can put it in 2'nd and give it the boot and light up the tires. I never put it in 2WD any more ... all it would do is to require more frequent tire replacement. What's REALLY surprising is how many miles I get out of a set of 4S ... 20k and still thread left.

[@marcovanni1851]

The M performance Titanium exhaust option is a must to make this beast rumble. Good review.

[@JFP69]

I love my 2019 F90 competition. It does everything I like and while it’s a little stiff i actually wanted that. It is my daily driver and the pops and bangs make it fun around other cars. It does scare people walking in my neighborhood! I am waiting now for a build date on the new CS. I agree with you - BMW always takes it to the next level and I appreciate that!

Excellent review and Excellent presentation. I think I'm set on the Pre-LCI M5 now. Its cheaper, only a tiny bit slower, Arguably still more comfortable and just as practical. Plus, it sounds better.

I’ve had my comp 6 months now, got one of the last pre Lci cars having come from a c63s coupe. I think the ride is very refined especially compared to the c63. I don’t get why people think it’s too hard. Paid 82k too brand new!

[@nicklevin9321]

I have a non-comp 2018 M5 and on the street I find it better to drive everyday, but I only spent 15 minutes in a comp before I made up my mind. The power difference is completely imperceptible and they actually both cross the quarter mile in 10.9 seconds. On the track I definitely notice the weight of the car so perhaps the comp helps mask the weight on track. I upgraded to the comp/performance exhaust, which is worth every penny. I don’t look at a comp and regret my purchase or wish I had the top dog, which is about to be the CS. It’s an M5 after all and is absolutely ridiculous (in a good way) in standard and comp form.

[@usercs_2682]

I think the 550i appeals as the real powerful daily/family cruiser, rear wheel steer, glass roof. If you've got a sports car you don't need an M5 comp. If you don't then it makes sense as an all in one car. How many you'd really see being exploited down B roads, I have my doubts Vs smaller nimbler cars.

[@alstound]

The M550i is plenty good, with even better colour and wheel options than the M5. It’s also the only V8 midsize German saloon where you don’t have to resort to the full M, AMG or RS treatment. It also rides better than its faster sibling. You can’t go wrong with this car, but £30,000 more buys you arguably the best petrol four-door right now. It’s up to you.

I really struggle with the purpose of this car. I would never take such a big, heavy car to a track. So, the M5 is lost on me.

My issue with these performance cars is ride firmness - they can be harsh and not suited to relaxed driving - only seat of pants stuff. So i'm thinking of getting an s63 coupe in uk but i worry about it not being 4 wheel drive - and am therefore favouring an amg gt63s (aware that it'll sacrifice the ride quality - but not as much as the m series from what ive researched?) ...I dont chop and change cars much - I know i like mercs and the s63 would be a zero brainer if it had 4matic. Whats your view? - Having rolled at 80 during my youth im not keen on high powered cars that will kill you if you make an error due to being stupidly powerful through only the rear typres. Should i worry about this with the s63 in anyone elses view?
