“Despite the weight, it is breath taking. Quick.” ▶ 4:49 CAR magazine “it is blisteringly fast, faster than its competitors.” ▶ 2:52 Throttle House “The M5 Touring and M4 Convertible both took 11.5 seconds.” ▶ 35:54 Carwow Handlingsplit
“It's a very big car, but it's also a very fun car.” ▶ 5:36 CAR magazine “the performance of the suspension is heavily compromised by the weight... in a corner if there's a bump... It heaves and it can't manage its weight.” ▶ 5:06 Throttle House “5,500 lb, there's just no hiding that kind of weight. I don't care if there's rear axle steering. I'm sure it's helping me right now, but this car feels like an absolute boat.” ▶ 4:28 Zygrene Fun to drivesplit
“you can have an infinite amount of fun just getting on the power a little bit too early everywhere.” ▶ 6:59 CAR magazine “it is truly so devoid of feedback, makes this otherwise honestly pretty impressive car feel just disconnected.” ▶ 12:37 Zygrene “It still feels like a BMW in the corners in terms of the way the steering feels... And that it can control its mass in terms of not leaning very well, but it can't deal with the bumps because it weighs too much.” ▶ 10:11 Throttle House Daily drivabilityconsensus
“I took this very M5 touring up to Scotland and back earlier this year, and I honestly couldn't think of a better car for the trip.” ▶ 3:14 CAR magazine “It did this trip easily, quickly, smoothly, quietly, comfortably.” ▶ 10:28 Throttle House “There's so much more storage in this touring than the sedan. It's not even a question of comparison.” ▶ 9:57 Brian Makse Valuestrong consensus
