The 2025 BMW M5 Is The Benchmark Super Sedan Reborn With Electrified Bi-Turbo V8 Power

[@theredline]

Happy Monday everyone! Its gonna be a busy week for us as Rob and I will be in LA for the 2024 LA Auto Show all week. We have a ton of reveal videos posting and our full review on the 2025 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing will also post tomorrow! Stay tuned and hope you all have an amazing week before Thanksgiving :D

Wow for that sticker price it is missing quite a bit of features. My 2021 M5 has soft closing doors, full moreno leather, and massaging seats!

[@gregmcgarry1]

It’s a 7 Series you want. I think soft close doors, rear blinds, rear seat heating & massage seats are a waste of time and only add to the already undesirable vehicle weight.

I have had the pleasure of testing out a f87 M2, g80 M3 comp, f80 M4, 991 carrera s, corvette c6, Z4 35is, etc. But I dont own or live with these cars, so they all feel like insanely fast sports cars to me.

[@aymanlockhartable]

My dream car was a M5. Now you want to give us bold design, taking away from BMW roots? Want to give us more horsepower and features, making the car weigh 1k pounds more? This makes it less ideal as a sport sedan.

[@JosephPayton-m9g]

BMW’s new interior design philosophy of just replacing wood and leather in some areas for lights is quite a move. I saw this in the new x3 and it makes the interior look more cheap instead of luxurious. And on top of that , after a few years or months of ownership it will be dust hell.

[@tescoshortage]

Has that “strip club” feel like what Mercedes has been doing. Definitely not luxurious and most certainly not German. I want aluminum trim and leather-stiched dashes, not 1000 LEDs that look like they came off of TeMu and hard plastic dashes.

@@SimonGonzalOSI had a G90 rental for a week recently and it only had 1500 miles. IMO, the interior looks much better in pictures online than in person after spending some time there. It seems and feels a little cheaper in the materials than I’d like in that car. I think too much glossy plastic still. But I will say, after about a dozen hours in the seats, I loved them, and overall it was nice car.

This is just a fail on so many aspects. They nerfed the V8, added a half assed hybrid system, cheaped out on the interior, added weight, and reduced aesthetics. The ice/ev system is poorly executed from both vantage, or disadvantage, points.

[@bryy2053]

No matter how much reworking or gloss black with trim around the edge, or vacuum front splitter they add, I can't UNSEE the piggy nostrils at the front of this vehicle. Its a design language GONE WRONG and they continue to stick with it. The M3/M4 looks a little more fitting, but this car looks bizarre up front in my opinion. They've done a good job working with what they have, but you can't deny that nostril snout up front, like the car is foraging on the pavement.

[@greerm5]

This was a very knowledgeable review.

[@billm47645]

There’s something “not durable” looking about this car. Nice for a week, after all that glossy plastic gets sand blasted (and you lose a few radiators from rocks), and then you scratch it up in a car wash, you’ll wish you spent $50K for the car. With the weight and size, a Model Y Performance may be the better buy and might actually last longer.

Yep this new M5 is missing the full leather interior from the old M5 (and not even as an option). Too bad as the doors, the upper dash, the lower console look cheap. They were all previously covered in Marino leather. Along with the massage seats and soft closing doors, those are 3 misses for everyday drive. Hope I see you at the show this week!

0:18 no the F90 M5 previous gen is still good but if ppl have the need for speed then it’s a great idea to up the anté for the new M5 which is now a PHEV 4.4L TT V8+ E-Motor+8 speed auto and the HP is the same as the discontinued regular Dodge Charger Hellcat which had the 717 HP

[@user-unionwrestling]

Over 5000 pounds for a sedan? Though beautiful from some angles, the last gen M5 looked better and handled better, because it didn't have all that extra weight from the battery! This one is faster than the last gen, but the last gen handled better!! 2:36

[@truckercowboyed2638]

Then buy the last gen what are you complaining about

[@user-unionwrestling]

@truckercowboyed2638 The BMW M series has always been about great speed and superior handling! And each generation represents a step forward in speed and handling. Well a car weighing over 5000 pounds can't escape physics! I've owned 4 M cars over the years and currently own an M3! So know a little about what I'm talking about! BMW has built a car that's a little faster in a straight line than the last gen M5, but handles a little better than a dodge demon around the curves! That's not a true representation of the BMW mantra!

@@dnice362 I mean I prefer the RS7 as well and would choose it over the M5. That said I do see some appeal in the M5. I see the benefit of electric range for certain circumstances. Running to and from the store, driving to or from work when you’re exhausted etc.. don’t always necessarily need crazy power so I see the point being you can save a bit of money on fuel at times like like. More for the person who wants an efficient quiet and comfortable commute while being able to have fun on the weekends. Downside being you end up with a bit of the worst of both worlds doing that. You end up with mediocre all electric range and power and with an incredibly heavy car that ruins a bit of the fun. I see a point in it for certain people. I am not one of them.
