  • Stunning to look at, comfortable, incredible performance and room for 5 adults and luggage. There's not much to not like about the BMW M5 Competition.
    Thanks to BMW UK I experienced this super saloon car in a range of condition and over a nice selection of roads. A big statement I know but it's definitely up there with the best all-round cars ever made.

    The M5 really has been the saloon car to have for ever. It’s been such a benchmark car for all manufacturers!! It’s pricey, but I will take your word that you get what you pay for 👍🏻🇨🇦

      Is yours pre-lci? Is it as unbearably stiff vs the base m5, as a lot of other journalists say?

    BMW seat comfort is amazing, In my 68 plate M sport 3 series we are blown away. Took my family (eldest son at 6' 2" in the rears seats) on a 250 mile drive with one stop over 4 hours. We got out with everyone not needimg a stretch.Then jumped back in for another few miles. Contrast to the flexing, yoga etc on my old A4 :-)

      @@PrinceBarin77 the performance is unreal, there is no comparison, albeit a lot more refined. You can drive it like an animal or sedate like you’re driving Miss Daisy, and the sound is a lot better being a V8. I know your thinking about it being more grown up, but you would not regret it.

    Tbh having recently been radar zapped in my XK I'm getting frightened to drive powerful cars these days. I know it's been done before but one day perhaps you could review some of the very LATEST speed camera/trap detectors?
    I don't condone speeding of course but with 20mph limits springing up almost everywhere it's getting hard to drive enjoyably at all, and in a refined car capable of very high speeds, at times it feels impossible to drive that slowly!

    • @crazyfroggie6546
      @crazyfroggie6546 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I remember being nervous of built in sat navs, someone told me they would be able to record your journeys for the last X amount of days, and would be able to be accessed by law enforcement to ascertain exactly where you were when you broke the speed limit, and by how much etc.and could be used against you in court. I know it was bunkum, but the possibility is there, some cars can and do record the top speed the vehicle reached, and it can be accessed by dealerships with their diagnostic equipment.

      I've always driven like my pants are on fire, you just need to pick your moments. I've only got one SP60 in 30 years and that was in a Focus hire car on the M6. Then again my Mrs who drives the same seems to have been on more speed awareness courses than I can compute.

    Enjoyed the video, thanks for the review. My M5C is 1 year old this week and after 10k miles I’m still loving it. I’ve averaged 23mpg and it can do 29-30mpg in a motorway dawdle. My only criticism is the ride is very firm which is fine most of the time but can be a pain at low speeds on bumpy town centre roads.

    Stunning machine , Peter! Only just caught this review which much have slipped past me somehow when you released it.
    I had a 1993 K-plate Ford Granada Scorpio 24v between 1998 and 2000, which did (at best!) 18-20mpg. She had a stainless steel exhaust on and sounded superb. This reminds me of that car. When in a built-up area, the windows were down just to hear that V6 exhaust note, especially on kick-down. I do miss my V6’s but they could never deliver 58mpg which I get out of my little Swift hybrid.
    BMW M cars are something very special and this (to me) is the perfect car to take on a pan-European driving trip, away from the congestion, poor roadcraft and selfish arrogance of UK driving.
    UK driving standards (along with idiotic cyclists) are a favourite gripe of mine. Her indoors just rolls her eyes at me when I get into rant mode about them. So I’ll shut up about it.
    10/10 for the review. And the car!

  • @TheBjornwilly
    @TheBjornwilly 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I tried them both - M5 and M5 comp. For me there was no doubt - the non-comp version is the perfect way to go. Its got only ever-so-slightly less power, but the smoother ride more than makes up for it. Just think of it - as a 5-seater, the main purpose of this thing is having the joy of driving a supercar while also using it as a family car and pretty much everything else. And thats before you look at the $$$! I've had my base M5 for over a year now, and its been in comfort suspension 'most all the time. I've played a lot with the setup, and usually run in sports or sports plus drivetrain, and often in MDM dynamic (reduced traction control) modes.

      @@justsomeone9267 Haha for track use - yes. I'll agree with you on one point, I'm too cheap to spend the $$$s tracking a car like this. It would burn brakes and tires and who-knows-what-else to no end. In my view this is a street car, and as such the comp doesn't make sense to me.

    OK here's a challenge the M5 against a Porsche Panamera 4S ehybrid sport torismo, daily 8miles round trip to office, longer drives to Belgium (the not in current climate) adding fuel, service costs, tyres, and monthly loan(via your recommended 4cprestige) which one should I look to get as my new daily, replacing my 640D Msport gran coupe?? Looking to buy either around 2year old model as sport turismo came out late 2017 early 2018!! What do you think mate? Oh and great M5 comp review, oh and how comfortable was it, I thought the m840D was actually not as comfy as I hoped, though the porsche Panamera was very comfy!!

    Interesting; i've got an M5 Comp 2020 and my dashboard is different. Don't have the round dials as it's fully digital. Can confirm cleaning the rims takes easily an hour. As much as I love the car I'm not sure I wouldn't buy it again. It's mind blowing fast and so by far the best car I've owned, but it is a waste of machine here in the US. With so many cops around and its ludicrously easy ability to jump to high speeds, tickets loom at every touch of the pedal. On back country roads or long trips is where you can truly enjoy this car and open the engine / sound up. Positive note: The roof rack fits perfectly I must say and car looks even better with snowboards and mountain bikes up top.

    I think there's only three or so other cars that can equal the M5.
    They are the Mercedes Benz E63s and the Audi pairing of RS6 and RS7.
    All are biblically epic in their power and performance and all can transport 4 adults across a continent in comfort and with their clobber too. :-))...
    And the things I like about all these cars, for me anyway, they're all 4wd and all are auto's too. I'm at the age when I'm bored with a manual gearbox on roads and the autos nowadays just do it for me. It's tedious for me to be stuck in traffic having to constantly use the clutch. In out. In out. Something that younger readers (i.e. Those in their 20's!) will only really appreciate when their ages are well north of 50 as I am.
    But sadly, for those younger drivers, when they do get to 50 and beyond, the great dinosaur powered cars of today may be very sparse, if at all available. :-((...
    Great video Pete. Love the M5. Love Beemers too. :-))...

      I have to agree - it’s too fast for the road, if they made it with a better sounding NA V8 with about 400bhp it would be the better driver’s car for sure as you would be able to wring it’s neck through more than 3 gears - very frustrating. Awesome though and every journey you marvel at how connected the front end is and going round a corner even at normal speeds is a joy.
