The f10 m5 is such a sleeper imo. It really doesn't take much till it's pushing 700+ hp and spanking super cars on a roll. Yet it blends in with traffic and the average guy would have no idea what a weapon this thing is.
A CTS-V is much more of a sleeper, because everybody expects an M5 to be fast. The CTS-V is faster, and nobody expects that from a Cadillac. Especially M5 owners who get passed.
+Kevin Davis - Let me know when being used as a taxi on the nurburgring is relevant to anything at all. The CTS-V is faster and handles better than the M5. This is a FACT, not an opinion. And being a taxi or not doesn't change that fact. Also, because it sounds like you're not aware of how the CTS-V was developed, Cadillac lived in Germany for 6 months developing the CTS-V on the Nurburgring and the autobahns. The LAST generation CTS-V set the world record for fastest 4 door car ever recorded on the nurburgring when it came out in 2009. And if this is just an issue of you not understanding that the CTS-V is faster, the CTS-V has more power, more torque and weighs hundreds of lbs less. Are you familiar with how the laws of physics work on this planet?
I'm a huge fan of naturally-aspirated engines, but when it comes to HEAVY super sedans and grand tourers, twin-turbo torque just makes so much more sense.
I'll never forget the first time I drove an f10 M5.... I was immediately sold on the twin turbo v8... Not only is it blistering fast, it also stops just as damn good too...
Just picked up a M5 Competition Package with carbon ceramic brakes, performance titanium exhaust with black tips, executive package and lighting package tonight. Love it! It's definitely a rocket! Blue on black. It's a mean monster.
BMW definitely rates their HP lower or at the wheels. I've seen quite a few videos of people putting stock M cars on a dyno and completely blowing the claimed HP out of the water
You never see Matt laugh when reviewing cars. He's generally enthusiastic but maintains a decorum of professionalism but it was clear that he really enjoyed the M5! Great review, sir!
Kody! Awesome car & Interview. Thanks for letting me drive it that day after shoot. Quick is an understatement, & the interior is sooo plush. Talk soon bud
I drove the E60 M5 for 10 years sold it and bought a F10 M5!!! Omg 😮!! This car is freaking ridiculous. I prefer this one over the E60. I’m still trying to get use to it...
Christian Noel I’m still trying to get use my F10 too. lol. Car is a beast. I was literally scary driving it home on the freeway on my way home from the dealer. It was a raining that day, so that didn’t help.
This is the perfect ride that shows how good the M5 is. It is the perfect super car. It feels like it is a planted 70s Trans Am but with speed and real speed. I have the comp package as well and standing still looks like it is scraping the street. I choose the back-roads to work where I can open it a bit and enjoy the ride. In my other vehicles it is the expressway bypass. But the turbos give you power right now and it does not stop. It is one of the few cars you don't feel like getting out and pushing it to make it go faster.
I bought a very well equipped 2015 M5 Competition this May with only 15K miles for $57k. It is an absolute steal at this price. The performance, overall experience and refinement have to be experienced first hand. I also drive a 2014 911 C4S cabriolet and have had numerous BMWs including an e46 M3. I LOVE this car!
I can only imagine how awesome the M5 is to drive... I drove a 2017 540i M-Sport with a few extra M Performance parts on it at a BMW Track Event at Pocono Raceway not long ago, and that was a pretty damned fast...
I couldn’t get a M5 for many reasons, main one was money of course.. so I was able to finance the 2016 535i M Sport package.. pre-owned, but it’s what I was looking for. I’ve always loved BMW since I was a teen.. So being able to get one was a dream come true. In terms of comfort, it’s like I’m sitting in a fighter jet’s cockpit! Everything’s within reach, I’m 6’ foot even about 250 pounds and it’s like I’m floating on a cloud.. it has the sports mode and sports plus, if you wanna feel that thing take off you can switch it to sports mode and use the levers or sift up or down on the stick (no homo) you might want to warm up the bimmer tho, I never push it when it’s not warmed up.. the brakes can honestly be better, but the ride is smooth, comfortable and it’s not the fastest but it does pick up quick for its size and weight. Did I mention that the audio system is amazing? Heated seats, Also very quiet inside the car when you’re out and about.. I get all the Camaro’s and Mustangs, Chargers and all that pull up and give me the revs, but I just keep it going. Just my 2 cents!
The F10 M5 is seriously one of BMW's best cars made ever. And what's freaking awesome is that BMW Techs say the F10 is a very reliable platform, the S63 TT V8 engine is relatively solid, and the 2012 and 2013 M5's are like $45k, so a ton of people can afford one! Just a few more years and they'll be in the $30,000 range. Awesome cars.
These things are crazy fast. I used to be a bar back at a really fancy place and a guy pulled up in one. I stoked up a conversation and he ended up letting me drive the thing, it was this exact spec too. The fastest thing ive driven to date
Great review man! My 2014 550i XDrive is PLENTY powerful to get me into heaploads of trouble - I cannot even imagine the power of this beast! Its actually a good thing I don't have one :)
Matt you are and can be quite rude. That being said, I enjoy your videos AND you reinforce the fact that if you work hard enough, any noob can become someone! Thanks!!!!
It’s kind of relative. It’s no 911, but it definitely doesn’t feel as big as the internet makes it sound. So much power, tire, suspension, and braking, so it doesn’t feel its weight. It’s well balanced too, it just feels like it has a big footprint on the road, not necessarily like a big car.
Have driven 2 of these and loved them, will be adding to my BM collection in a month or so but NOTHING will ever beat that V10 with exhaust mod. Once you learn SMG it drives VERY nice but not perfect. V10 M5 will always be the best to me...because V10.
They're big, but no way they're bigger than a Marauder. Mercury is around 212 inches in length, M5 is in the neighborhood of 193. That's almost 20 inches difference.
it's not the real size what you saw, it's the presence. I once saw an E63 AMG W212 facelift next to a normal W212 in the dealership and the normal E just disappeared next to the E63 even though they are basically the same size except for some bodykit-parts. It's not the size, believe me.
Hey Matt love your channel just started watching the Camaro ZL1 Le video then I had to pause for a notification check and when I went back to it it said video not available and it wasn't even in my history I restarted my tab and still no luck what up with that
I want to know how these are doing in terms of reliability. Also would like to know how it compares to a tuned non-M, since they have a twin turbo V8 also, and can probably be tuned to similar power.
Love your videos. Can you please do a M6-F13 and a M3-F80, these two cars plus the M5-F10 is what I am considering to be my next car. Thank you, keep up the great work on your vids!🇺🇸👊
Matt for gods sake, please review the P4/5 pininfarina (even a clone ig..) before you end the series!! make it the last car you review on the channel. every time i see that poster it makes me obsessed with the car all over again
Funny that this review just came up because I just bought a 2014 with Comp Pack. You are right that there values are crazy got my one owner full dealer maints car for $45k!
Hey Matt, f10 m5 or comparable year e63 or cls63 with biturbo. I’m on the fence on whether or not to have the mb 63 with rwd or 4matic. What’s your opinion? Currently in a tuned e55 so if I trade up it better be good!
Hey Matt, how do you feel about this car with downpipes, intakes; and a tune? Doesn’t seem like you’re wishing for more power but with how easy it is to get 750 hp, how do you feel about one of these with bolt ons?
Chassis or body? Because the driving experience in the F10 was lame,especially when the predecessor was one of the best driving executive sedans ever made.Now the new F90 M5 will be like a car Audi has been selling for the past 15 years
TheNewSchoolGamer the price difference is crazy, but hey if u can afford it bro go ahead, id suggest u get the m6 instead, i own one , along with an x6m i live in Montreal canada so theirs snow but my x6m does it all
Better I believe but they destroy the batteries to the point it's factory service interval is like annually. The turbos get the block super hot and the electric water pump continues to circulate coolant when the car is shut down. It just destroys battery life. Otherwise it's what you expect with a $100k+ car for maintenance.
The f10 m5 is such a sleeper imo. It really doesn't take much till it's pushing 700+ hp and spanking super cars on a roll. Yet it blends in with traffic and the average guy would have no idea what a weapon this thing is.
That is the magic of the M5, always has been.
Have the "shit" wheels and a normal colour and its even more of a sleeper
A CTS-V is much more of a sleeper, because everybody expects an M5 to be fast. The CTS-V is faster, and nobody expects that from a Cadillac. Especially M5 owners who get passed.
Let us know when they start using CTS-V's as Nurburgring taxi cars.
+Kevin Davis - Let me know when being used as a taxi on the nurburgring is relevant to anything at all. The CTS-V is faster and handles better than the M5. This is a FACT, not an opinion. And being a taxi or not doesn't change that fact.

That porsche flyby at 8:37 sounded like a sent txt on iphone
LivingLifeFast yes Ricky
That dude was on it as well - that thing was hunkered down and pinned - good line through the corner as well.
I'm a huge fan of naturally-aspirated engines, but when it comes to HEAVY super sedans and grand tourers, twin-turbo torque just makes so much more sense.
epr9194 I agree.
my favorite 2 words "twin turbo"
tbh this is how you properly show a sponser or an ad at the start. something that is very helpful and very related to what you do
yes just like nutpowder
nut powder will never die lol
My favorite M5. I will always take this over the newest 5 series. Not only does it look like a sleeper executive sedan, it's a beast to drive.
Disappointed in the lack of testicular care product announcements.
but he did mention nut cooling... drink!
DivideBYZero69 😂😂🤣🤣
Your camera setup perfectly shows the change in the characteristic of the dampers. Great reference to show when I explain it to my friends.
Impressive car and yet another great and humble owner.Loved it =)
Yes ! A great attitude/personality goes a long way in these reviews
Manele Nation whot jou think about bmw m5 f90
I'll never forget the first time I drove an f10 M5.... I was immediately sold on the twin turbo v8... Not only is it blistering fast, it also stops just as damn good too...
Matt, your best One Takes are the ones where you're giggling like a maniac. That shows true enjoyment and involvement.
Hey Matt, I have a comp pack m6 with a stage 2 tune. You should drive it, and def compare how the tune makes a difference in power.
S2ksaad make a wheelwell account and mail it to him
BelviGER q
ya do it pls i wanna see this never seen an m6
S2ksaad which stage 2? Dinan?
S2ksaad Are you sure? It kind of seems like you don't. .
Just picked up a M5 Competition Package with carbon ceramic brakes, performance titanium exhaust with black tips, executive package and lighting package tonight. Love it! It's definitely a rocket! Blue on black. It's a mean monster.
This is absolutely my dream car. The best at almost everything and ridiculously fun when you want to open her up. Nice vid man keep them coming!
Also this guy should make BMW owners everywhere very proud. Seems very down to Earth and just loves driving his Bimmer. Great episode.
Not even close to being the best at almost everything. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Thanks Charles, I appreciate it :)
BMW definitely rates their HP lower or at the wheels. I've seen quite a few videos of people putting stock M cars on a dyno and completely blowing the claimed HP out of the water
You never see Matt laugh when reviewing cars. He's generally enthusiastic but maintains a decorum of professionalism but it was clear that he really enjoyed the M5! Great review, sir!
Kody! Awesome car & Interview. Thanks for letting me drive it that day after shoot. Quick is an understatement, & the interior is sooo plush. Talk soon bud
Thanks Dave, Turned out better that I thought, Matt did a great Job. We will go for a drive soon, you can push her around ;-)
I drove the E60 M5 for 10 years sold it and bought a F10 M5!!! Omg 😮!! This car is freaking ridiculous. I prefer this one over the E60. I’m still trying to get use to it...
Christian Noel I’m still trying to get use my F10 too. lol. Car is a beast. I was literally scary driving it home on the freeway on my way home from the dealer. It was a raining that day, so that didn’t help.
Never before have I enjoyed watching ads before, until Matt.
Funny this was uploaded yesterday since I was just looking at M5's the other day. Dream daily driver (right now).
same here
Matt did you lose a couple pounds? Looking thinner, good for you. Stay healthy big boss!
Another great review!
Probably just upped his coke game in the summer
Think he said he's been working out consistently for the past year or so
lolol just spit out my coffee when I clicked "view 2 replies"
Or this is an old video
I see you're looking for curves on these one wakes. I think the m5 has good fuel consumption for being a boat.
This is the perfect ride that shows how good the M5 is. It is the perfect super car. It feels like it is a planted 70s Trans Am but with speed and real speed. I have the comp package as well and standing still looks like it is scraping the street. I choose the back-roads to work where I can open it a bit and enjoy the ride. In my other vehicles it is the expressway bypass. But the turbos give you power right now and it does not stop. It is one of the few cars you don't feel like getting out and pushing it to make it go faster.
well said. I had a 79 trans am. havent seen one on the road in years. just bought a 2016 m5. still learning the car
I bought a very well equipped 2015 M5 Competition this May with only 15K miles for $57k. It is an absolute steal at this price. The performance, overall experience and refinement have to be experienced first hand. I also drive a 2014 911 C4S cabriolet and have had numerous BMWs including an e46 M3. I LOVE this car!
In 2022 I bought a 2015 F13 M6 comp with 16k miles for 55k. I'm loving it so far. Also have a shelby gt350 in the stable
I can only imagine how awesome the M5 is to drive... I drove a 2017 540i M-Sport with a few extra M Performance parts on it at a BMW Track Event at Pocono Raceway not long ago, and that was a pretty damned fast...
I couldn’t get a M5 for many reasons, main one was money of course.. so I was able to finance the 2016 535i M Sport package.. pre-owned, but it’s what I was looking for.

Great car and owner. Also dig the GMT Matt's wearing.
I love when a car brings out Matt's childlike giggle. That's when you know a car is ridiculous.
Two grown men laughing like kids. Gotta love the world of cars and the people who drive them.
These things are crazy fast. I used to be a bar back at a really fancy place and a guy pulled up in one. I stoked up a conversation and he ended up letting me drive the thing, it was this exact spec too. The fastest thing ive driven to date
ps they're wildly expensive to maintain
Favorite quote: "Anything with this insane speed, while it blows cold air on your n*ts...". LOL
Great review man!
My 2014 550i XDrive is PLENTY powerful to get me into heaploads of trouble - I cannot even imagine the power of this beast! Its actually a good thing I don't have one :)
Frank Camiola I've only got a 2011 535i xDrive, will be getting a JB4 and full bolt ons soon, gotta love the f10 man
Frank Camiola how is it on gas I was looking into the 2014 550i xdrive
OMG night and day difference between SPORT and COMFORT suspension modes. You guys were bouncing around right away!
Kody, your car is so sick! Glad I finally got to see the review.
Thanks Man, I think your car and the blue 911 are the last ones from this group to be uploaded, can't wait to see those!
Unfortunately mine isn't going to happen :( Long story, but you can see it on my channel in a couple weeks.
K L are you Persian by any chance? Thought I could hear a hint of your accent
Yes I am. I always thought it was more than a hint ;)
Been waiting to see this for a while now
Been waiting for this one for years
Matt you are and can be quite rude. That being said, I enjoy your videos AND you reinforce the fact that if you work hard enough, any noob can become someone! Thanks!!!!
God damn I love BMW
bootlegMIR Farshad?
Never owned one have you ? .. I hope you enjoy waiting for repairs alot
My Brain Hurts do maintenance yourself and they are easy to own..
You going to do maintenance on a M5? Good luck!
That's just your service Centre.
Saw one of these going down the road the other day. Tried to keep up in my M3, wasn't even close. Beautiful car.
Which gen M3 was yours? Just curious for reference.
Samuel Wu F80 Comp Package.
Well it lacks straight line speed but the F80 is a much better sport sedan tho
m3 is not better in any way
In really twisted roads, the M3 will show its strengths. The V8 in the M5 just blows the M3 away in the straights.
1970 911!!! Oh.. and sick m5. Keep up the good work Matt
Boy i can't even begin to Imagine how fast this feels. A heavy car going and accelerating this fast must feel insane!
It’s kind of relative. It’s no 911, but it definitely doesn’t feel as big as the internet makes it sound. So much power, tire, suspension, and braking, so it doesn’t feel its weight. It’s well balanced too, it just feels like it has a big footprint on the road, not necessarily like a big car.
Have driven 2 of these and loved them, will be adding to my BM collection in a month or so but NOTHING will ever beat that V10 with exhaust mod. Once you learn SMG it drives VERY nice but not perfect.
V10 M5 will always be the best to me...because V10.
Great vid Matt! Thanks for doing more M cars. Could we get an x5M? Come to Hawaii and you can drive mine.
Cant wait to browse AutoTempest for cars I cant afford.
Love these!, great spec on this one!
Thank you Matt. I own a 2015 SS and I certainly was interested to see what this super sedan was all about.
My neighbor just bought one of these and first off, the M5 is huuuge in person. Even bigger than my Mercury Marauder.
Man O War yea they are humungeous
They're big, but no way they're bigger than a Marauder. Mercury is around 212 inches in length, M5 is in the neighborhood of 193. That's almost 20 inches difference.
Its the same size as an E class and smaller than a A6/RS6.
it's a big fat pig
it's not the real size what you saw, it's the presence.
I once saw an E63 AMG W212 facelift next to a normal W212 in the dealership and the normal E just disappeared next to the E63 even though they are basically the same size except for some bodykit-parts.
It's not the size, believe me.
Autotempest is sweet. Been using it for a long time.
Love my M5 for same reason. Duality
My brother just bought one of these with a dinan stage 2 tune. Its got me looking into the M5&m6 market
I've always thought of M5's as four-door missiles, and it looks like I'm not far off. You can tell a car is freaky fast when Matt starts to giggle.
And he calls it a missile around 8:30 lmao
I'm keeping my eye on the market for these. Under appreciated M car.
Always fun to drive!! 👍🏻
Amazing car and the sound is fine.
Hey Matt love your channel just started watching the Camaro ZL1 Le video then I had to pause for a notification check and when I went back to it it said video not available and it wasn't even in my history I restarted my tab and still no luck what up with that
The sound inside its amazing
Look at the MSR exhaust. George is Top notch!
I want to know how these are doing in terms of reliability.
Also would like to know how it compares to a tuned non-M, since they have a twin turbo V8 also, and can probably be tuned to similar power.
Love your videos. Can you please do a M6-F13 and a M3-F80, these two cars plus the M5-F10 is what I am considering to be my next car.
Thank you, keep up the great work on your vids!🇺🇸👊
Hans Gruber has a sweet whip
Out of the 2k plus cars I've driven I will always love this car the most
The one with shitty steering feel,fake engine noise and a 2T+ weight? Those're pretty low standards
That road is nothing short of epic
What was that beep when you were driving quickly and sort of got startled and slowed down?
Love that watch Matt.
Ive been waiting for this...
Lol a race in Switzerland? Crazy Matt!
Awesome car, awesome road!
I wonder how long until the 2013's are available for under $30k with ~50k miles? I love my E39 M5, but I could consider upgrading.
Matt for gods sake, please review the P4/5 pininfarina (even a clone ig..) before you end the series!! make it the last car you review on the channel. every time i see that poster it makes me obsessed with the car all over again
Funny that this review just came up because I just bought a 2014 with Comp Pack. You are right that there values are crazy got my one owner full dealer maints car for $45k!
Hey Matt, f10 m5 or comparable year e63 or cls63 with biturbo. I’m on the fence on whether or not to have the mb 63 with rwd or 4matic. What’s your opinion?
Currently in a tuned e55 so if I trade up it better be good!
Has he edited this one?
I'm not a BMW guy in particular but this car is gorgeous. Love that Singapore grey.
That's a sweet looking MR2 in the background at 1:44
I wish I had these roads in FL
Great video!
That looks like fun. I wish I lived out west; all that open road
Don't the bearings fail in these engines? Or I'm mistaking for the v10.. would be scary to have an engine go bad in this car 🚗
I did not know bmw got that big in comparison to previous models!
Matt, you do know that the F90 M5 will be able to switch between 4 and RWD platforms via a click of a button?
Hey Matt, how do you feel about this car with downpipes, intakes; and a tune? Doesn’t seem like you’re wishing for more power but with how easy it is to get 750 hp, how do you feel about one of these with bolt ons?
i enjoyed this video more better than most you feel more yourself
Matt see if u can get ur hands on a m4 gts I know they're rare but since u drove a bunch of Porsches I'd like to see ur opinion on it
Last time i was this early, Matt was on /TUNED
The Owner is the best!
The f90 is going to be insane. It's going to be lighter and have more power. I'm considering one
NYG_EVO and m xdrive
would be very suprised if lighter
I highly doubt it will be lighter,see what happened with the G1X 7 series.
Audi sold that kind of car for the last 15 years,it's called the RS6
I take it with a grain of salt
I will miss the F10 body.
Agreed even though I'm not a fan of the twin turbo V8, I do like the F10 chassis.
Chassis or body? Because the driving experience in the F10 was lame,especially when the predecessor was one of the best driving executive sedans ever made.Now the new F90 M5 will be like a car Audi has been selling for the past 15 years
same, I really want to trade up from my 135i to an F10 M5. I think it's the best M5 in terms of exterior design.
TheNewSchoolGamer the price difference is crazy, but hey if u can afford it bro go ahead, id suggest u get the m6 instead, i own one , along with an x6m i live in Montreal canada so theirs snow but my x6m does it all
F10 is really a looker second to the E39
yo matt, that 997.2 porsche trick... how did u find that out and like does porsche actually state it? thats a dope trick tho either way
Hey Matt if you were shopping for a used four-door sedan would you rather have an F 10 M5 or an F 80M3??
What a cool owner
The M5 is a Beast !
Lol can definitely feel the love of cars these guys have .
Hey Matt. I think that many of us would love to see the dashboard aswell :)
Lovely M5 but... nice GMT Pepsi too! Best watch I've seen on, maybe on par with the "hulk" sub (not bias at all) hope it's a 16700 :)
Little note about the Seat massagers. Try the new Porsche Panamera with them. They are AWESOME.
I like the flannels Matt
Aren't the 997 4s the all wheel drive ones and the Carrera 2s the RWD?
I just realised that you've never tested a Maserati here. Aren't they any good? Could you do a One Take of the Ghibli and the Quattroporte ?
Whats the reliability like on these newer M5's? My buddy had the V10 and even though it was fun, it was always in the damn shop.
Better I believe but they destroy the batteries to the point it's factory service interval is like annually. The turbos get the block super hot and the electric water pump continues to circulate coolant when the car is shut down. It just destroys battery life. Otherwise it's what you expect with a $100k+ car for maintenance.
Can someone provide details on the 997.2 4 handbrake trick? Is it real? Sounds like that would be very handy for skidpad training.
You can also kind of do the same thing in some Subaru STI's but it's said to be hard on the diffs.
Automatic like for the f10 m5. (I have a 2014 and love it)
