The bmw m5,m4,m3,m2 and m8 is way better than anything amg us making your out your mind you can't compare a v8 to a tesla than people don't want. The new m5 is sick if they can make a airplane fly the m5 can go around corners the same stop the nonsense it drives better that the old m5
It’s a matter of opinion. I would personally own the new M5 over any of the others you mentioned. The model x plaid nor the model y are attractive to me.
Still rocking my E39 M5 which I've had for nearly twenty years now! I've put over 130,000 miles on the clock. We taught our daughter to drive in it, and our son. We took them to school in it. It still turns heads to this day. Costs nothing to insure and servicing is peanuts. Solid as a rock.
i bet anything the steering wheel, seats, and gear shifter are all nasty greased up with decades of hand oil use. old cars are awful. they really REALLY do feel old because every second you are using the car the minute you step in it. nothing beats a completely new car.
@@defaultworkouts Nah man you have it the wrong way round. You need to get in to the driving seat of a real car. The interior of my M5 is clean and fresh, well maintained and valeted meticulously once a fortnight. Talk for yourself when you harp on about a greasy steering wheel and gear lever. Either you have hygiene issues or you're just one of those people who still wear a mask to go shopping... Either way your perspective and opinion are both redundant and hereby dismissed.
@@defaultworkouts dude wtf are smoking? Sounds like someone whos never owned a car in their life. You ever heard of i dunno... cleaning it? You the type that buys new clothes instead of washing them? Weirdo
@@teriok6783 no but I’ve driven every generation M5 before. All I’m saying is I definitely don’t think I’ll be impressed. All the other 5 series and M5’s I’ve driven were so fun and definitely were so well balanced. I don’t see a 5300 pound saloon that is heavier than a model S plaid being a very dynamic car too drive.
@@Mo-ij8re I’m sure that I do considering that I’ve owned 8 true M products dating back to the early 90s. I’m also sure that your vehicle put gases have never been in my equivalent category. I also am sure that I have nothing to prove to a clown such as yourself.
I literally just posted a video on this as well... I love BMW M. I'm a die hard fan, but I agree. Makes absolutely ZERO sense. Go get an M3 CS or a F90 M5 and tune it to 1000hp!!
This is the EXACT same reaction everyone had about the g80 & g82 until people started driving them … I think it’s safe to say BMW knows what their doing
So, Looks are Subjective . I personally like the way this car looks, inside and out. I do agree with the Surprising Weight Issue. Also I agree with the Criticism regarding the meager 25 miles available for Electric use. Like many Customers I actually want a High Performance SUV that’s comfortable and efficient as far as MPG’s are concerned. Last but not least, Most consumers want a sharp exterior and interior design. Again, I can find No Fault with the way the 2025 BMW looks. I think I see a preview of coming attractions. I believe that the 2026 BMW X5 M is going to closely resemble the M5. Hopefully BMW will solve some of its Heavy Hybrid Battery issues???
Tesla has changed the entire idea of what real horsepower and "fast" should be...ruined it for me to be honest. I own several and wish I didn't before I had a chance to buy a few more cars that were on my bucket list.
I'm sorry, but your Tesla looks like an iPhone: plain and boring, just like everyone else's. No matter how hard you try to make it resemble a combustion car, it will always look like a plain, boring Tesla. My only conclusion is that Parker is secretly sponsored by Tesla 😂
The looks are entirely subjective yet this guy hands down his opinion on the G90’s aesthetic as objective fact. The car is heavier due to need to navigate regulations yet retain V8. It’s very simple. The E63 is switching to a V6. MB can keep it.
True. People for some reason like to ignore that regulations can have an impact on how a vehicle is designed. It's the reason why the E60 is the only generation of M5 with a V10.
Personally I’d look into the Lexus is500, 4 door sedan with an extremely reliable v8 making almost 472hp. Sure it’s not the most amazing car out there, but for a daily you’d want reliability with maybe a little bit of fun which this car gives you
Yes the XM was the test bed for the M5 drivetrain. Same as the X3M being the test bed for M4/M3, yet there are no complaints about that engine. BMW already made a 4000lb M5CS.
Older normal M5s weren't really track focused either. Just family sedans that can attack the back roads. Yet people are acting like it was a track car since day 1
It's the M5. Not M5 competition or M5 CS The V8 is 585hp, previous M5 engine was 635hp. The engine is clearly detuned to 585hp to save the 635hp for the M5 competition. Infact it might get boosted to 650hp. So the competition will be 777hp - 800hp. Then there's the CS model which is likely to be more
I think it finally sank in when he said it weighed more than a Chevy Tahoe that’s diabolical 💀idc how much electronics you throw at the thing you can’t unfeel that much mass driving in a spirited manner
@@davidpark2509 so in other words ur a loser who probably likes men. Your saying a genesis is better than an m5. Plz by all means supports Hyundai and save the women for the straight guys
This was a great video and I agree with all of your points. What disappoints me is the interior, the weight, and the power. Per the website, this new M5 will tip the scales at a whopping 5,390lbs. The M5 has always been known as the ultimate driving machine in terms of performance, handling, and luxury but with the previous generation F90 LCI weighing in at 4370 lbs, I hope that the handling doesn’t suffer. Next is the interior. I understand that in today’s age technology and convenience are a priority but it seems the luxury brands are taking advantage of this to cost cut and create lower grade interiors. The new M5 has none of the touch points and switch gear that differentiate this from a Kia. I am also disappointed with the power since although the new generation makes more power, it suffers from a decrease its power to weight will likely result in decrease in performance. All that being said, I hope BMW finds its way.
I was at Goodwood for the UK launch. i was on board for the Wagon at last. Why didn't they make an effort. I have been waiting for this as a last hope to replace my E63S estate.
All nonsense the new m5 is faster and drive better than the old m5, the c63 is faster than the e63 so nothing mercedes makes can compare with a bmw M. Amg is now v6 or 4cylinder so all this talk is nonsense bmw is out selling mercedes by alot so ask everyone why they would buy a bmw over a amg and when bmw was the first car that had the engine sound inside everyone hated that so whats the point of this whole video
Great summary of how BMW has lost its way. First car I bought was a manual 325ci, followed by a manual e46 M3 and finally a manual e60 M5 (currently daily driver is a Tesla M3P). Nothing since then has been interesting...seems like they just slap turbos on an existing engine along with some M badging and call it good (and of course each new model always weighs more than the last) :/
The general car-buying public, even for these "performance" brands, does not have the faintest idea how much a car weighs; they ignore power-to-weight and just see the horsepower figure. This is a testament to the fact, that with twin turbos the norm, you need only up the boost to gain impressive HP figures. It's cheap, and it's easy to market. Reducing weight takes engineering and costs development dollars. Thus, it is ignored by the manufacturers, resulting in the truly ludicrous weight of this car. (they are not the only ones) No doubt BMW will come out with a special, which will cost 10 K more and reduce the weight by 80 pounds. With their serviceability issues, their excess weight (and price), it seems that BMW has decided we are all ignorant and will buy any "product" they put out there. Signed, former M3, M5 owner.
How did bmw make the m5 the same weight as a F-250 that has a bed and a towing capacity for 120k starting I better be able to to hook a 44 foot gooseneck to the back of it ( edit its 700 lb heavier than a hummer h3 )
So weird, it's like Cadillac and BMW switched philosophies...I think I'll be targeting a MY25 CT5-V Blackwing Precision Package as my next car instead of another M. I don't need the greater luxury and weight of the M, I just want a daily driver I can take to the track on occasions.
id like the luxury in the m5, i prefer it that way. its what an m5 was always about a luxury sport car that can be a daily driver. im happy its not light and doesnt just add carbon fiber everywhere with some sports seats. my criticism would be against the weight and performance.
BMW is trying really hard to lose sales… they started to get lazy with the M cars with the 2015 MY and has been going down hill design and engines wise ever since…
Hmm... Isn't there a tax credit for vehicles over 5000 pounds, for companies. Tons of people buy or lease through a business or LLC. I first heard that in a conversation about the popularity of the G-wagon, which is also over 5k. It could be bs though I did not research it lol
Bmw tends to do very well with putting power down and being very quick. I’m guessing it’s underrated like the others. The design language is another story. Sad to see that direction happening.
Vehicle Virgins Great Video I definitely agree that the All New BMW M5 is way too heavy and I think it's awesome that you got to get your Hands another Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and I think your friends reactions were absolutely hilarious
Now i see why this channel is done with because when you can praise a hyundai and tell oeople a bmw m5 is no good and a tesla looks better we all know you've lost your mind bro!! 😂😂😂😂😅😅
BMW's gone... An M2 that looks like it just came out of a 3D Printer, The M3 and its Mouse Tooth grill, & a dumptruck of an M5. Sad when the most likeable newer M car is a 2020 X3m for me.
2024 M5 Comp: 625 Horsepower (V8 engine) 750 Feet Pound of Torque 1,865kg (4,111 pounds) 2025 M5: 577 Horsepower (V8 S68 engine) 553 Feet Pound of Torque 192 Electric Power 202 Feet Pound of Torque from Electric 2,435kg (5,368 pounds) The 2025 M5 is significantly heavier, for obvious reasons. Nevertheless, once you run out of your electric battery charge (25-mile range), you are left with only 577 V8 horsepower to push a 5,368-pound car. What a disaster! And the rest, I am not sure where to go with it. What is up with not having a gear lever? I don’t think BMW is listening to their customers and clients anymore. Every interview they feed us a bunch of BS and the interviewers are afraid to ask tough questions. The BMW may fool the new buyers, but not the BMW enthusiasts and the people who are loyal to the brand. More so, those who are engineers are not buying these nonsense interviews. You can’t fool us. Cheap plastic door panels, plastic carbon fiber-looking paddle shifts, and no carbon fiber steering. Yet, all of which is available on the M3 and M4 models. The rear diffuser truly looks like an afterthought Lego attachment. And the front kidney grill is identical to the i5 M60. What a joke! And I am sure BMW has increased the price beyond any measure to match the rest of the model lineups.
Your copying and pasting comments have errors. I thought other comment sections told you that the battery would charge by the v8. The entire car is designed after an E60 M5, a complete game changer for the M5 history and lineup like the G90, and if you took the time to compare them, you would see where all the design decision came from. which also leaves this comment as pointless hate.
And also news flash most high performance v8 cars are in 100k now even the Mustang with the super snake and likely the GT500. Also the price is reasonable as the is physical similar to a porsche Panamera turbo e-hybrid with more power for less money.
While we all rant and blow our tops over the M5's design, I propose a simple solution that could have at least solved the weight issue - split the M5 lineup. TL:DR version - Offer both a petrol M5 with a mild hybrid, and a fully electric iM5 model instead of a Frankenstein combination of the two like we have now. Audi recently split their lineup into even and odd numbers, so for example, the RS4 will become fully electric, whilst the RS5 carries on the petrol lineage of the RS4 nameplate. Meanwhile, BMW announced that the next M3 will have both the regular petrol model and a fully electric model called the iM3. In my opinion, this is what BMW should have done with this new M5, since 5 series nowadays have both petrol and electric variants. The EV sales can easily keep the CO2 credit low, so they're free to make a "dirty" petrol M5 without worrying about government penalties. In short, offer both a traditional petrol M5 with a mild-hybrid system that doesn't carry the weight of a PHEV system, and an electric iM5 model that not only satisfies government regulations, but also gives them time to fine tune their approach to performance EVs before the 2030-2035 petrol ban.
Most of the reviews from those that have not driven this car are negative. Most of the reviews of those that have actually driven the car are positive. Just an observation
Ugh, man this is spot and and so depressing... I was soooo ready to get the new M5. Been driving M5s for 10+ years and now don't know what I'll do next. Electric cars are too lame.
BMW should fire their designers. My neighbor had a 2014 M5 and it’s the most beautiful car i’ve ever seen. I saw the new 5 series and it looks like a pile of dog shit and check this out… it’s slower
