Couldn’t agree more. My man time-stamped a 0-60 run. Most channels didn’t even do one. Thank you Joe. This color is also perfect, looks like something from the future trying to fit in, in 2024.
I bought my m5 f90 after watching Joe Achiles reviews back in 2020. However... these days i believe him less to buy a car. A 2.5 ton monster. Thank you very much
Friday night, Joe Achilles reviewing the new M5. It doesn't get much better than this, when it comes to TH-cam car reviews. Hope your voice is back to full working order. A hybrid 2.5 tonnes M5. The world has definitely changed, and it feels like we ain't seen nothing yet
Really thankful for your transparent review. You gave us hope from your first test drive of the pre production from your heartful laughter. I knew the car was genuinely better than most people feedback without really interacting with the new M5. Thanks for the great feedback, as transparent as can be, sorry about your voice, we still heard you and the video did capture how fast the car is and how capable, impressive 0-60 even with wheel spin
Bmw claims 3.5 sec 😂😂 does 3.1 on road surface. Bmw really be trolling. AutoTopNL also just got a 60-130 faster then the old m5 comp and on his leaderboard faster then a 800hp modified audi rs6 .. this thing is nuts. So much for all the slower jokes. I knew they would look dumb. Once again people.. never trust bmw HP or 0-60 times.
These are alr doing same if not better times than f90 at its weight. S68 has already miles better than s63, these are going to fly when tuning is available.
@TheUltimateGamer751 if i had an option to spend 30k on either of those i would go for the f90 m5 comp..not because of the way it looks but the weight. 1000hp g90 will never out run 1000hp f90.. power to weight is just bad on g90
Well yea if I had to get for the money f90 sure not talking about for the money, s68 has already pushed over 800awhp with no mods on jb4, s68s is miles better than s63, sure it weighs more but compensates for it clearly,
The V10 is my dream M5 despite its flaws but this is awesome as well. I even love the look. 3.12secs nearly half a second off BMW's claim!! Great vid as always. Get well soon mate 👍🏼
I used to worship cars like this when I was a kid, and I'm impressed with what BMW has done with this car. I just find it getting more and more difficult to find a reasonable use-case for a 700bhp sedan....it's just absurd. As always, great review by Joe!
@@justinbernardo8240autotopnl did a faster 100-200 than f90 comp 🤷🏾♂️ it’s not slower. They run same times, Honeslty g90 has a bit more top end it seems.
@@justinbernardo8240 Little bit slower but this is the base M5.. there will be a more meaner version as is the way with M. So for a base M5 it’s only 0.2 seconds away from the previous competition model.
@DMCarReviews I've never heard anyone say the e60 was good looking, especially following the best looking M5 (e39) We forgave the e60 because of its n/a V10, I don't see this new M5 going that route...it doesn't have that special and rare party piece
Just sold my 22 M3 Comp after 2 years, wonderful and stupid-fast ride. I may end up test driving one of these in the near future and see about round two for BMW, the last one was my first. Impressive car, Thanks Joe!
Holy moly. What a car. My one regret in moving back to Oz is you can’t really enjoy a car like that here. But I did have a 94 Honda Prelude with that kind of rear wheel steering - drove like a go cart at speed, and I could reverse park into spots I had no right to…without a computer doing it for me either !
You have really changed my mind about the M5. It is an absolute animal and BMW know how to make an ultimate driving machine. The climate is changing and manufacturers have to do what they can to avoid fines. They don’t make these laws and regulations. So with that considered, this is a superb piece of engineering.
I mate the climate isn't changing due to man made production or whatever it's just naturally occurring the eons in eons don't believe the mainstream bulshit
Joe is one of a few motor journalists who’s opinion I value and if he says the M5 is worth the money then I’ll take him at his word. Looking forward to the M5 touring review. Get well soon Joe!
Great review Joe, I could only imagine the levels of disappointment if M Division had been forced to use an engine based on the B48 in the G9x like Merc AMG did with the C63. Us BMW fans need to be thankful the S68 is still sold, because it's days are probably numbered. As for my take on the M5, like the Audi RS6 it is too large for where I live so I am content with my M3 Touring. Looking forward to watching your M5 Touring review tomorrow.
Absolutely love your reviews, Joe! My previous G80 and current F90 purchases were all based largely on your videos. I had made up my mind that the F90 was the last M5 i would own. However, that may not be the case anymore! Again, really appreciate the amazing content and efforts you put into your videos ✌️
We hated this car when it came out and now every body wants it because of its unique futuristic looks. There’s no mid size sedan in the world that looks like this. This is 2025 M5 and it super aggressive 🔥
Agree about the Camry look alike. The rear tailights with the double lines are so yesteryears....like a decade ago. It's ridiculous BMW can't come up with a modern design and keep going back to their decade old look on this new M5.
Great job Joe. Beautifully shot, insightful and interesting video. Addressing the elephant in the room indeed. Then using the video as a means to give a balanced real world opinion from behind the wheel. Then once we’re done nerding out on numbers, “if in doubt go flat out”. Great job. Wonderful video. Keep up the fine work.
I drive the i5M60. I placed an order soon as they announced the M5 hybrid. Hoping to get it by March! I can’t wait, 3.1 seconds is AMAZING! BMW always undersells themselves
I think that Joes reviews are the best as he has had numerous M cars and he knows how they drive/feel. The M5 maybe heavier but 0-60 in 3.12 secs is amazing. It may look a bit podgy but to me it’s an M5 with tech,many driving modes which make it all the more drivable and engaging. Great video Joe.
Thanks Joe. I’m emotional about the m5. Have always been. The journeys I’ve taken solo with the previous M5 brought me to tears when I had to sell it. Hope this one replaces the sentimental value I have with cars and especially an M5!!!!!
What an incredible and beautiful machine! Love the way it looks and that gray color combined with the black wheels. It pulls to 300+ kmh with ease, and seems like it's so stable and comfortable at the same time. I can't imagine it's potential with a tune and what it will be able to do. BMW did a phenomenal job.
Another great review Joe, hope you’re feeling better. Gotta say the looks on this are really growing on me. Didn’t like it at first much like the M2,3 and 4, but it’s winning me over. Weight aside, let’s be thankful that BMW is still putting out great drivers cars despite all the regulation headwinds.
Defying physics is EXACTLY what 21st century active systems do, steering, roll bars & suspension, hybrids, this PHEV has instantaneous power because electric eliminates torque curve, I power slid through icy turn years ago in rental Cadillac because it had ABS, do you seriously think G90 hasn't been on Nurburgring? M3 already setting records.
Funny watching trolls try & take this down, it has no precedent & likely no competition, despite new 6 figure VW hybrids. Someone recently cited losing tires & brakes tracking V10, how does this hold up?
Good review but taken in moderation Joe is a huge BMW fan (rightfully so) and has a great relationship with BMW. Those other journalists who have not been as impressed as Joe are highly respected too and a few of them are very respected racers as well and know what they’re talking about.
I agree with you, it becomes difficult to remain true when you are a fan of the brand. Other reviewers are impressed with how it handles for its weight, bmw have done magic but still the weight of it doesn’t make it a pure M5 replacement but a very fast capable 5 series
You can say that it is not possible to get the E39 M5's mix of V8 manual 4024lb curb weight anymore in modern times, but the CT5 V Blackwing does just that, V8 manual (supercharged with 668hp), 4067lb curb weight (as tested by motortrend with the carbon ceramic brakes). The argument of plasticky interior doesn't even hold because for 2025 Cadillac improved the interior while BMW cost cut the crap out of theirs. BMW is phoning it in for this car, you can tell because it is the first M5 that isn't head and shoulders quicker than its predecessor. It shows they don't really care about this gen. They had a hybrid XM drivetrain ready to go and put it in an 5 series and called it a day. The first dedicated M car since the M1 was the XM. They developed this drivetrain for the XM. That shows where BMW's priorities lie. Too bad the XM was a hopeless flop.
You forget one very important fact! Cadillac is an American brand built in the USA. Their emission regulations are far less strict than all the countries that are part of the EU- union have
If GM can build a 1064HP Twin Turbo V8 for the new ZR1, then certainly BMW could build something similar detuned to say 800 or so HP and easily pass Euro emissions without the hybrid weight. Or at least offer a 1000+HP non hybrid for the USA markets.
It's all excuses. There are more than a few times when the supposedly "no other choice" was changed mid-production. Certainly it's not a matter of ecology, BMW have more than enough electric cars to offset that. And all major german brands are buying carbon credits primarily from Tesla.
Very interesting video ! My buddy had an F90 M5 and that was so fast in acceleration I can only imagine how good this is. Fabulous car great review thank you very much !
Well done mate - was really looking forward to this and it didn't disappoint! Good to get a real world view on a car that will be a high end family hack for most people - bring on the Touring tomorrow!!
Love your review of this gorgeous beast Joe. Its better than hearing all the whining about the weight because some people seem dead set to hate this amazing machine. Thanks for a lucid and unbiased review. I would take this over the competing super saloons out there❤
I have been watching you since you had less than 500 subs. I’ve bought two m cars from your reviews and adored them. This was your best ever review and the sexy voice to match. Fucking epic Joe. Fucking epic. Amazing. Sensational work.
I remember my late dad during the early 90s told me that he swapped his honda accord with a an old BMW 5 series 525 bcoz a saloon must be heavy for stability 😅... i like this model m5 g90
@@JoeAchilles1 I like the looks of the new m5 but 500 kilo's extra and an electric mode that nobody is ever gonna use is pointless. The whole hybrid system also makes the car more unreliable. The exhaust is quieter than a 3 cylinder golf.
@@JoeAchilles1 I doubt it. It's not powerful enough. The GT63 e-performance which is the same pig with even more power is not much faster than the M5. Edit: I just checked the autotopnl video after yours and yes, the times are very similar to the old one.
I have been waiting for this for weeks and my biggest shock is the way into gets to 310 kmh (thats 192 mph !!) so quickly several times is astonishing. I also noticed on the drive-byes on the "A" type roads the car's poise and stability was sublime. It's without doubt a brilliant car worthy of the M badge. The weight issue is as much to do with the hybrid system and additional safety measures that are forced on to car makers by people who have no clue what physics is. However the BMW engineers have proved their skill and application is still at the top. I agree the size in the UK is going to be an issue as with the normal 5 series but look forward to your UK press car drive. Good review sorry about your sore throat, probably screaming like Sabine Schmitt when it went so fast!
No it's not . U will regret saying this when they do a QM test with this vs the old m5 comp. They have similar 0-60 and that's bad new for the old m5 comp becuase this has a much higher torque curve after 60mph. It will get slaughtered. This is easily a 10.7 car on the street.
Wow. 0-60 3.1 sec on the street and u already know it has a much higher toque curve and will pull even harder after 60. All the people that said this is slower are looking real dumb rn 😂
Wow you’re the only reviewer so far that even explains why it was made into a hybrid and gained so much weight. After learning that I actually think they solved this problem in the best way possible. I just wish it had the m4 backlights. Otherwise it’s pretty amazing
Great review Joe. Yes it’s heavy, but what a piece of engineering that thing is. To get the best part of 2 1/2 ton to 60 is around 3 seconds is just mental…almost physics defying. It’s hard to imagine a better all in one car.
This is one car the bmw knows they cannot afford to mess up. All the m5s have been savage from the beginning!!!! Welldone BMW, the m5 is your bread and butter.

@@NyzedOfficialthis the Turbo SE Hybrid will be a match for whatever version comes after this.. CS/Red Label
@@NyzedOfficial Try 100-200 or 200-300, and the Porsche will be far behind the higher the speed gets. 0-60 is pretty irelevant here
What a beastly car. Fantastic review too. Happy to have discovered your channel through the Baron!
If GM can build a 1064HP Twin Turbo V8 for the new ZR1, then certainly BMW could build something similar detuned to say 800 or so HP and easily pass Euro emissions without the hybrid weight. Or at least offer a 1000+HP non hybrid for the USA markets.
It's all excuses. There are more than a few times when the supposedly "no other choice" was changed mid-production. Certainly it's not a matter of ecology, BMW have more than enough electric cars to offset that. And all major german brands are buying carbon credits primarily from Tesla.
Very interesting video ! My buddy had an F90 M5 and that was so fast in acceleration I can only imagine how good this is. Fabulous car great review thank you very much !
After watching Top Gear's borefest of a review for this car, this is much better.
Top Gear nowadays are just catering to the public perception just to get clicks. Pathetic.
Well done mate - was really looking forward to this and it didn't disappoint! Good to get a real world view on a car that will be a high end family hack for most people - bring on the Touring tomorrow!!
Still heavy nevertheless.😏 thank you Joe
Yep, it's the only way they could give us an M5 with a V8.
Brilliant video Joe. The M5 is still my favourite of all the M cars.
Keep working hard fella 👍👍👍
This G90 M5 is Looks more better in real than in photo 🔥
Really brilliant review Joe! just wanted to say thanks.
Thank you!
At the end of the day, its the first new M5 that has a worse power to weight ratio than the outgoing M5.
Love your review of this gorgeous beast Joe. Its better than hearing all the whining about the weight because some people seem dead set to hate this amazing machine. Thanks for a lucid and unbiased review. I would take this over the competing super saloons out there❤
Damn, 850kg heavier than my cs🫠
I have been watching you since you had less than 500 subs. I’ve bought two m cars from your reviews and adored them. This was your best ever review and the sexy voice to match. Fucking epic Joe. Fucking epic. Amazing. Sensational work.
"Ohh it's too heavy, it's too slow"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. You said exactly like them Joe.
I remember my late dad during the early 90s told me that he swapped his honda accord with a an old BMW 5 series 525 bcoz a saloon must be heavy for stability 😅... i like this model m5 g90
I actually think that looks incredible
That M5 is So edgy. Love it. Great review 👍🏼as always.
Slower than last gen and a few hundred kilo's heavier. I'm not blaming them but the EU parlement politicians.
One tenth of a second slower to 60mph, but I'm certain this new car is substantially faster over 60 and at any speed in gear acceleration....
@@JoeAchilles1 I like the looks of the new m5 but 500 kilo's extra and an electric mode that nobody is ever gonna use is pointless. The whole hybrid system also makes the car more unreliable. The exhaust is quieter than a 3 cylinder golf.
@@JoeAchilles1 I doubt it. It's not powerful enough. The GT63 e-performance which is the same pig with even more power is not much faster than the M5.
Edit: I just checked the autotopnl video after yours and yes, the times are very similar to the old one.
@@JoeAchilles1if is faster from 100kmh to 200kmh! AutotopNL uploaded a video on his channel and the new M5 did a 7.13. The M5 Comp LCI did a 7.16!
BUAHAHAH it is faster , please check 100-200
Thanks as always Joe! Hope the voice is healing up! - Dr. A P.S. the StraightPipes guys also got to 300 km/h - that was fun to watch!
Wtf happened to that rear bumper? It looks cheap and awful.
I love it from the beggining, bit disappointed by the interior but as a whole package.... damn its great.
I have been waiting for this for weeks and my biggest shock is the way into gets to 310 kmh (thats 192 mph !!) so quickly several times is astonishing. I also noticed on the drive-byes on the "A" type roads the car's poise and stability was sublime. It's without doubt a brilliant car worthy of the M badge. The weight issue is as much to do with the hybrid system and additional safety measures that are forced on to car makers by people who have no clue what physics is. However the BMW engineers have proved their skill and application is still at the top. I agree the size in the UK is going to be an issue as with the normal 5 series but look forward to your UK press car drive. Good review sorry about your sore throat, probably screaming like Sabine Schmitt when it went so fast!
Still slower than the previous model
what are you talking about?
Do you really need that 0-60 speed in real life scenario?
@blessingnyathi3751 dunno about that but the M5 comp M5 CS has always been the fastest performance saloon but not now.
No it's not . U will regret saying this when they do a QM test with this vs the old m5 comp. They have similar 0-60 and that's bad new for the old m5 comp becuase this has a much higher torque curve after 60mph. It will get slaughtered. This is easily a 10.7 car on the street.
Loved the advert for the healthy drinks when you sound like you’ve just come off a 3 day stag do bender 🤣🤣🤣
I've had long Covid all year.
@@JoeAchilles1 it was a light hearted comment at the irony, nothing malicious.
Wow. 0-60 3.1 sec on the street and u already know it has a much higher toque curve and will pull even harder after 60. All the people that said this is slower are looking real dumb rn 😂
This car is the king of all Mid size sedan … The design is so unique 🔥
It's too heavy, too slow, it doesn't drive well.
Yes
Wow you’re the only reviewer so far that even explains why it was made into a hybrid and gained so much weight. After learning that I actually think they solved this problem in the best way possible. I just wish it had the m4 backlights. Otherwise it’s pretty amazing
Great review Joe. Yes it’s heavy, but what a piece of engineering that thing is. To get the best part of 2 1/2 ton to 60 is around 3 seconds is just mental…almost physics defying. It’s hard to imagine a better all in one car.
Thank you, Joe! Like always the best 👌 Looking forward to m5 touring review ❤❤❤
Thank you!
Best review. Thank you for not beating the weight to a pulp and just talking about the performance of what we have been given by BMW.
A car review can never get better than this, thanks Joe 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Love the POV shots Joe!! ;)
Thanks, it's about the only place you can do POV these days unfortunately.
This is one car the bmw knows they cannot afford to mess up. All the m5s have been savage from the beginning!!!! Welldone BMW, the m5 is your bread and butter.
Huge Respect Joe and Greetings from Georgia.
I am only watching this to support Joe.. ❤👍
Not a big hater of this looks. But holding onto a f90 comp for now.
Awesome detail review as always .. That 0 to 60 from the outside looked like the video was sped up !! brutal acceleration Wow
