Waited a long time to be disappointed by those numbers . They are forgetting what M stands for . It’s not electric straight line speed it’s driver feel through the corners and putting a smile on your face . Hopefully they do a comp or cs to bring it back to normal weight range ! God help the wagons weight when it comes …..
Impressive tech. In 1990 I delivered an '89 635csi 5-speed from Windsor to Toronto, not one minute on the 401 - just country backroads, two-laners mostly. Not 'strong', but linear, silky power from that pure, unboosted inline 6. Felt executive heavy and playfully light at the same time. My best driving experience ever.
They should have had a lighter colour version on display it’s hard to appreciate the design with the available lighting etc. To think PHEV system adds 500kg to this, how much is a PHEV version of say a Land Cruiser supposed to way… well over 3 tonnes which is crazy heavy
Ask him whether he’d rather track his ceramic brakes or steel stoppers if it were HIS money. Lol he’s clearly got it backwards. Nobody is tracking ceramic brakes.
Oh look a generation that just love to drive straight 😢 who really gives to flying f about top speed..what about handling what about the experience this is a boat..with no soul and dam is it ugly
The G90 M5 is the first M5 in history to be slower than it's predecessor. If this new M5 lost about 1,000 lbs or was the same weight as the F90 M5 CS, it would be the greatest M5 of all time...
I actually think this m5 could have gone back to a straught six with small mild hybrid assist. Keep weight at 2 tonnes, total power about 650hp. This seems like the worst of every world.
I wonder how many owners of this M5 would actually track them? Consedering the nearly 2.5T weight. The M3 (or even better, the M2) would be a better vehicle to track. The M5 would most likely only have an edge in the straight lines, but everywhere else, the othere two will be all over it and they would be more fun to drive. And if you could afford this M5, I'm sure they can afford to shell out for an M3 or M2 also.
I'm already disappointed by the G60 BMW 5 series design language. It's too boxy and weird looking. Now BMW adds to my disappointment by making a 2.5t M5. I don't know what's going to make me want this car. It's gonna be a no from me.
Very controversial design. The rear is again a square car, like the G80, and the front doesn’t look like an M, it looks like the bottom part of the radiator is from an M, and the side gills are from regular BMWs and for some reason are directed in opposite directions, which is some kind of nonsense in terms of design. It’s also not clear why the design of the front lights was changed, and the F90’s rear lights were top-notch. Also, the question is why they left the design of the old M seats, then they should have done it in the F97/F98 style. The car weighs almost 500 kg more, what kind of M is it, you can forget about handling. However, despite all the controversial points, there is no denying the fact that the F90 is now obsolete and a part of history. P.S. The lack of a closed cockpit still infuriates me, what kind of fashion is there for open tablets?
