[@snoopdagg7900]

Mercedes started implementing cost-cutting measures with the previous-generation A-Class and CLA, which surprisingly became some of the brand’s best-selling models. Over time, this strategy extended to other models, including the C-Class, and has now affected nearly the entire lineup, such as the CLE, E-Class, and, to some extent, even the S-Class. Similarly, BMW and Audi initially maintained high-quality interiors for entry-level models like the 1 Series and A3. However, with the latest generations, they too began using cheaper materials, a trend that has now spread to higher-end models like the 5 Series and Audi A6.

Here's my main gripes with the M5 and 5 Series in general: - Those plastic kidneys. I understand they had to squeeze in sensors and whatnot in there, but you have these big swathes of black plastic with only small actual intakes lower down that just look like holes. No vertical or horizontal streaks or mesh, just two holes. It looks silly, and doesn't belong on a premium BMW. - The rear lights. If you removed the badging, sent the car back 5 years and asked people to have a guess at what brand of car it is, I doubt many people would've guessed BMW. It's generic. - The many sharp lines everywhere, and this is specific to the M5. It's not cohesive, and it doesn't flow with the rest of the car's styling. - EDIT: Oh yes, those rear fenders where they meet the rear doors are atrocious. They should've built in the widening into the doors, but obviously, the BMW beancounters won that argument, and it shows. Other than that, it's just another of the new breed of hybrid-lite super-saloon.

not to side with the bmw people designing this absolute mastodon, but people are starting to hate the r35 for not changing for like 8 years, then people hate the bmw FOR changing after 2 years.

[@kakadots]

BMW should have made this M5 a t-hybrid like the new 911, imagine something around 2 tons and 700 hp

[@GothamClive]

Weight and Dyno test please every time. If you can take the risk. I think some companies wouldn't like that.

[@AbelMutongerwa]

Finally,the new M5 review from carwow

[@ValentinaRosas-i4q]

Every time you post, it's a treat!

[@MinusMedley]

Seems like the higher torque readings and faster 0-60 times are coming from a cooler engine.

[@iantownsend500]

E39 M5 is the greatest M5 ever

[@kuksenekroksene7574]

All bNw is a shit

[@Wolvylll]

comparing the GOAT ali with the BOAT M5😂

[@sharky9056]

Cars are finally getting to be like phone where the upgrades are not that big and the last generation is better price performance

[@victorstefan3780]

Believe it or not, i am actually excited about the future m5 cs g90 which they say that it will have 1000 hp and 1400 nm.

[@exileatsushi7165]

Mat, it's great that you suggest better alternatives at the end, excellent initiative! I hope you will keep doing it for next vids.

[@MrKhan-un6id]

ALI lacked character? Seriously Mat?😂😂😂😂 There's a reason why he was loved by many not only the boxing fans.

[@bodrulm1]

He said UNLIKE Muhammad Ali this car lacks character

[@8BitHate]

I was looking for this comment 😂 I had to reply it to make sure I heard what I heard lool the man who could float like a butterfly and sting like a bee having a lack of character is mental

[@propacs3275]

What took this man ages, to review this Boat

[@Krthik-rf5rx]

Ali? No personality? Idt there’s anyone with more of it than The Greatest!

[@chriscringle9263]

The 2026 M5 CS will be at minimum 380kg lighter. 😎😎😎👍👍👍

[@Jon-cu4kv]

The panel movement, when you’re showing the configuration options, is beyond unbelievable on a car starting 111k

[@mrbenn0x357]

Unfortunately, the Dyno correction was made according to DIN 70020 and not according to EWG as is usual for modern cars. So the final result was a little higher than it should have been.

[@indianjudgie]

Mohammed Ali lacking personality? That’s single handedly matts worst take ever

[@indianjudgie]

Apparently he said unlike 😭

[@themadakh3229]

He clearly says “and like” @ 17:16 if you listen closely. He might have made a mistake but if he did mean that what an idiotic take

[@indianjudgie]

@@themadakh3229 yeah I listened to it back and I still think he says and like 😂

[@danam0228]

13:00 this is true of most cars nowadays

[@SmartFirstPrincipleThinking]

I have a 2008 bespoke stroked 5.8L NA E60 M5 with every OEM+ upgrade pretty much possible, the pure visceral experience with the SMG S6 shift modes and sound is what in my view these cars are all about, performance is off the charts, the Bangle design is aging extremely well again in my view…I’ll never make the move to the newer M5 platforms

[@SeviersKain]

My dad's old BMW 7 F02 is still rocking like a rock-star till this day !!!

[@pearce9853]

If you all listen carefully he said ‘unlike Muhammad Ali’ not like

[@themadakh3229]

Sounds like “and like”

[@vaibhavgupta7275]

Hence proved, Matt is a BMW fanboy.

[@zno3177]

Exactly, he usually isn’t as kind when reviewing Mercs. This car is a step down, period

[@Sigmaben69]

@@zno3177 fr he Tried 0-60 QM like 5 times

[@TorTuga744]

Did he actually say Muhammad Ali had no personality 😅

[@DavidBrown-bs7gg]

Ikr

[@noki1701]

He pinned a comment and said that he said ,,unlike" not ,,like"

[@greengabe5]

My only gripe, I don’t like that solid black cladding in the grill. They should really just mesh it out and put whatever sensors they want elsewhere.

[@conmaartens8795]

Regarding the amount of modes, I don’t think more choices are bad. Set it up the way you want it and away you go. You even have two programmable M buttons. It’s not as if you have to go through all the modes every time you get in and drive the car.

[@RichardB1997]

All the “BMW had to…” is what people hate about the new M5 and the new AMGs. Because they didn’t have to hybridize their performance modells. They chose to do so..

[@pjp13579]

The same people complaining about the m5 weight weren't going to buy the car anyway

[@PhilbyFavourites]

Probably the truest comment on here. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@celliott16]

Hi, welcome to the internet, you must be new here 🤣

[@savannahkorben7353]

yeh just people taking out their brokie rage on the latest M product, same shit they did with the G80 you'd think BMW was only gunna sell 5 of them and it's been selling like hotcakes for years now

[@josephiousbrosif]

Did he just say Muhammad Ali lacked personality? Are we living in the same universe...🤔

[@ofentsetsipa1578]

He said unlike...had to go back and listen again.

[@SaulidSnake]

Get your ears checked…

[@ВукВуксановић]

It doesn't look as good as previous gen, it may grow on people over time, and facelift may improve it but generally people don't like it's looks. It's extremely heavy for a sports sedan. It's a hybrid, i think most people are fine with that but to some it's a turn off Interior quality is subpar and it's ridiculous to be that bad on supposedly luxury car, leather is plasticy, the screen looks like it's going to fall off in a year it's shaking so much, stitching is all crooked, bad quality materials on the dash, bad build quality, ffs I've seen models with couple k on them where the roofing is detaching already. And lastly ridiculous price for what you get, Yeah it's faster than last one but everything else is inferior. That's why people don't like this m5

[@OG_BNR]

Need to do a all M5 drag race.

[@MihailSmirnov-dw9qq]

This just made what I needed today!

[@hami_1012]

The dyno numbers must be wrong tho, don't electric motors not loose power because there is no crankshaft and it goes directly to the wheels? So only 600 of the 720hp should have the additional 18% or whatever it was to make up for power loss to the wheels

[@Traxxmaciek]

Yes. At this point cars should be just dynoed with the wheel hp. Everyone just adds different numbers and it’s virtually never consistent

[@hami_1012]

@Traxxmaciek agreed

[@MrOnat89]

You cannot assume transmission losses 15% in an hybrid car. Moreover the 15% loss was acceptable in late 90s and early 2000s. You should dyno the flywheel power

[@sladehelicoptersgaming3148]

So never driven an electric but one of the fun things about my xk is the power comes in after 3000rpm it kinda comes alive , the whole thing has character that makes it fun to drive hard and calm and gentle to just drive about it

[@cirrusblade6193]

I love it how the West Midlands accent comes out strong when Mat's focused on his driving.

[@MixedUpChocolate]

Did Matt just say that the car lacks personality like Mohammed Ali????

[@EE-hk8iu]

*unlike Mohammed Ali* he said

[@Bimmerbuff]

Despite the weight, which was most likely unavoidable, I don't see any reason to hate this car.
