Seems so easy for these guys to complain about sound, "we need more!". Guess what, in the real world, you'll need to get on conference calls, talk to your kid, and live peacefully with your neighbors. Really easy to say you need more sound until you live with it day after day.
I just turned in 18 AMG E63 S wagon for a fully loaded M5 a week ago. I indeed do feel the m5 is hair faster in acceleration. That was my 3rd E63 over almost a decade. This m5 provides impressive speed in a more gentle way. She can be very wild if choose so. I guess I am getting a bit older. Even I still like to drive very fast but now I choose to be in more “smooth” way of fast.......:)
Halfway through the review and I don't think this car could of been any more perfect, the interior, the exterior, the controls (gear shifter, steering wheel etc) everything is just so refined as a technician I hope the engine is as streamlined as it looks working on it should be a joy as well.
You normally complain about shiny materials....especially piano black plastics. That car is loaded with shiny finger print prone material, yet you said nothing about it. Im sure it's a well built interior, bit it's ugly. Are you brand biased?
I have to let you know that you are one of my favorited car reviewers on TH-cam, Man!! How can you speak so fast and yet explain yourself so clearly. Love your videos. Keep up the awesome work 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👏
Its because they forgot to fill up the blinker fluid. See BMW doesn't fill the blinker fluid from the factory and most buyers don't know about it so it just runs dry and they never work. Always check your blinker fluid at least once a month.
All lies. I've owned 6 brand new BMWs. Just picked up an M5 and X7. My husband and I love to use our signals. We are nationwide trucker drivers. So we value safety bud.
The M5 is already quicker than the E63S, which has been proven in multiple comparison videos. The Competition Pack will just increase the advantage slightly, but obviously the CP isn't purely about power, but various small upgrades making it more sporty to drive that the standard M5. As for power, the M5 produces anywhere between 630-650 realistic realworld HP and so does the E63S, but it's over 200lbs heavier than the M5. Great video :)
Those are the offical figures, but dyno tests reveal a different story. The official figures are what the manufacturer expects the car to produce under less than ideal conditions. For example at altitude or with "bad" fuel. Even the F10 M5 produced in excess of 600hp, even though it was officially rated at 560.
I haven't been a huge BMW fan lately, but this M5 is impressive. I love how configurable the drive train experience is. However, I do agree that the rear seat space is disappointing for a car of this size. My Mazda3 had more legroom than this.
This but the Competition package, Nissan GTR Premium, and Rang Rover Autobiography with red interior LWB are my dream cars right now! One day I will be able to configure them online and buy them.
Awesome review you went into every single detail the car has to offer and you gave your honest opinion about and of course the facts you keep it straight . Can’t wait for more videos.
That either the enchanted or fake engine note in sport mode when you turn off the sport mode you won't hearing the fake engine note love the growl inside the cabin
Great review! I think I like the contrast of the black carbon roof with the white. My wife makes me close the sun roof every time. Test drove one today and amazed how solid and insanely fast the car felt. Really interested to see how the E63s compares. The BMW seems to be more sporty while the Mercedes a bit more luxurious. Tough decision if your in the market for a really fast 4 door sedan.
for the people complaining about the exterior looking the same, honestly because they are known for that kidney grill up front i don't think there is to much they can do to the car unless they get rid that grill and i doubt they will do that
BMW is just here to please you pal. So glad they are listening to you. We all know they go directly to Redline Reviews for their yardstick of how their doing.
Sofyan- please don't start calling the hood a bonnet. It's bad enough when Alex on autos calls the windshield a windscreen. 😂😉 Love the seats in this car. Would look even better in a red and black combo.
Yes needs the exhaust a lot louder I mean it’s got the selection knob so it can easily be tamed, so I don’t understand why they won’t let the exhaust rip in full M mode.
Totally agree that it to quiet inside. The noise level is only around 70 db. Should be around 90db. If you buy one, just take off the mufflers and use straight tailpipes. That should rock your neighborhood with around 96 decibels!
Regarding the noise - At the executive level that this car is, does the buyer WANT to hear the exhaust from inside the cabin? If they wanted that, wouldn't they just buy your modern muscle car? Some buy it for the level of comfort and isolation, not always for the sound. To each their own I suppose.
When will BMW ever update their looks?...Now before (some) people call me a hater,I am going to say that the car looks good but it looks like every other 5 series with minor tweaks...I like Porsche as a brand as well.(just letting it be known) Even the X series BMW’s look the same from when they were released.
Smooth Operator Working at BMW and talking with the designers, I understand why the styling has subtle changes. BMW wants their cars to be instantly recognized on the road as a BMW. Unlike other luxury brands that constantly change their grilles and styling cues, BMW wants to keep an distinctive look like higher end brands from Bentley, Rolls Royce etc.
AJ Lee “Distinctive looks”? Isn’t that what Henry Ford was trying to do with the Model T while everyone else evolved with new designs? Their sales have also went down as well.Thought I’d only be saying this for Toyota but BMW needs to get with the times.
The M5 does 0-60 in 3 seconds, not 3.4 like he said. Which puts the M5 in the same acceleration class as an Audi R8. But i would always choose an Audi over a BMW. Even though the M5 has AWD, no car company can do an AWD system like Audi's Quattro. The best handling sport sedans in the car world period!
Great video man!!! I love the BMW M 5, it's very sexy and fast!!!! I agree with you they need to work on the engine sound!!! I love the orange interior. I can't wait for y'all next video.
Engine sound is perfect imo. If you're so concerned I'm positive whomever has the wallet size to purchase a vehicle such as this can easily afford to install something aftermarket if they feel to
@redlinereviews @21:02 Launch Control was not active. Whenever launch control is active in a M car, you get a checkered flag and a message that says “launch control active.”
The E63S would be better, but technically the E63 is the direct competitor. The M5 Competition pack (CP) and E63S are direct competitors, because S is AMG's version of CP :)
Just got to Germany and have officially found out that Americans are getting skimped with American spec cars. Please put Euro spec cars on the autobahn on your bucket list.
Wish the foreign cars could still put big V-8s in their cars. Don’t like the sound or throttle response of a small turbo engine. A big n/a or supercharged V8 would be a lot more fun.
Glad to hear about the needed improvements. I think BMW has been too immersed in the production of the (gag) 1 and 2 series cars. I was hoping for some input from you on where the CTS-V sits on the spectrum compared to this car.
They should of kept same gauge cluster in the new 3 series Damn rear seat room non existent For that kind of money I think most would opt for the isolated quieter interior - if they want louder they can get exhaust
I like how cars are becoming tech intergraded (except the lazy person options) this car is like a Samsung it comes with many options that you never thought
Sorry, totally can tell that you're throwing yourself! Back into the seat. Now we know that the M5 is Fast and the launch control is probably really good, but you don't need to over dramatize it in your video. I'm sure I'm not the only one that is called you out on this. By the way I love your channel, and I love watching your videos. Just wanted to make this notation, cuz it just seemed overly obvious.
It is a full size sedan. Its the size of an old 7 series now. Humans want bigger and bigger (is better) every year. BMW knows moronic humanity. The old marketing money. The M4 is the old M5. The M2 is the old M3. The fake air vent is laughable. Like my old Murcielago ;) I should have skipped the overview and just have gone to the driving. M5 owners don't want interior noise. They are older fat men. M3 owners do. (both are usually AHs that's not AppleHaters) Good video here despite my BS. (BananaSorters)
I hated all bmw except for the 6 series but these new face lifted models specifically 5, 6, and 7 look damn good. But I'd still take a benz. Beamer is meaner benz is cleaner. I like clean
THAT ORANGE BWN INTERIOR IS PUTRID ,IMO . LOVE THAT THEY FINALLY MADE IT AWD . MANUEL IS UNNEEDED WITH PADDLE SHIFTERS. MANUEL IS JUST MORE WORK AND NOW A DAYS IS USELESS ON WELL BUILT VEHICLES. THAT IS WHAT A TURBO ENG. SOUNDS . U WILL NOT GET THAT ASPIRATED GROWL FROM A TURBO.
Cool, too bad that here (China) the M5 is 3 to 4 times the price of a normal 5... at this point I might just get a Chinese ES8, it's a quarter of the price and only 1sec slower to 60 (it makes more power but it's bigger and heavier).
Seems so easy for these guys to complain about sound, "we need more!". Guess what, in the real world, you'll need to get on conference calls, talk to your kid, and live peacefully with your neighbors. Really easy to say you need more sound until you live with it day after day.
Mike Rogers there is a comfort mode for those things but when your in sport plus you need real sound .
I've always liked the 5 series sedans. Even the older ones.
Hated the v10’s. Fail rate of the engines must be insane

Cool led turn signals, too bad they will NEVER get used.
That's the truth most BMW drivers just cut you off they don't use turn signals
So true, because I noticed that people who drive expensive car act like road rules don't apply to them,hate them,a holes

The F90 M5 competition fixed the sound issue, it sounds great and has more power and torque than this standard version..

best M5 is e60 with meisterschaft full exhaust. those sound even more glorious than ferrari and lambo stock exhausts
Idk man, the M6 flew past me the other day and it sounded amazing!
From the outside, yeah. But sitting from the inside, the noise doesn't really come through. And the noise that does is mostly fake. A shame
bro u dont know shit.
@@LovepreetAujla really? I'm gonna havr to do more research haha
MaxSpeed shut the fuck up stop commenting everywhere
the new M5 is epic! check my latest review it is awesome sounding car
The interior of cars are getting so good that the seats are better than my bed. I sleep better in the car than in my bed. AMAZING!
The new 2018 BMW M5 is a very nice looking car. I love that v8, 600 horse M Power! 😎
bumble bear nice looking?? Man...Are you sure?
"600" ya.....lol
@@stefanfreestylez It is more like 700 hp on dyno.
@@borinvlogs ya amg is guilty of that too lol but its a good thing :D
Awesome review you went into every single detail the car has to offer and you gave your honest opinion about and of course the facts you keep it straight . Can’t wait for more videos.
I think it sounds great I don't believe anyone paying over a hundred grand for a luxury car wants it to sound like a dragster.
That either the enchanted or fake engine note in sport mode when you turn off the sport mode you won't hearing the fake engine note love the growl inside the cabin
My husband and I just picked up a brand new M5 and X7 last weekend. Couldn't be happier. 😁
It’s a luxury car, less noise. I 😍
Now I’ve been waiting for this review for a long time....... this is a great review!!
You know Sofyan had to put some intense music for a car like this 😂🤣
Great review! I think I like the contrast of the black carbon roof with the white. My wife makes me close the sun roof every time.

The complaints are interesting. The engine noise being muted seems like a plus for a luxury vehicle. That's my opinion.
if I was going to get one, I would save a few 10 thousands and just get a fully loaded m550i. the quad exhaust looks very unaggressive on the m5
Already love it! Such a beast and yet subtle! ❤
It hasn’t returned. It was always here.
Hey man, the F10 is the older generation, this body shape in standard 5-series is called the G30
Yes but the M5 is F90.. Body shape is more aggressive compared to the G30.. G30 is just regular 5 series.
You monster went 4:36 - 12:15 in one shot! Amazing!
So many computers in cars nowadays. Buying any cars used in a couple years are going to have so many issues
When will BMW ever update their looks?...Now before (some) people call me a hater,I am going to say that the car looks good but it looks like every other 5 series with minor tweaks...I like Porsche as a brand as well.(just letting it be known)
Even the X series BMW’s look the same from when they were released.
Everything after the 5 series from 03-10 look the same.
3, 5, 7 series are just design exercises now. They just take turns getting styling updates. There's nothing distinctive about each individual model.
Hater is just a buzzword people like to use because rappers use the word

Stop it already "I am disappointed with sound" crap this is a thoroughbred sport car it should show some manners of truly luxury car especially inside

James Soe And apparently appreciates the roar of an engine more than you.

The Dinan Tuned M550 i xdrive is about 40 k cheaper and clocks 3.5 secs 0 to 60.
It sounds crazzzzzyyyy outside god damn can't believe difference with the inside being so muted
Great review, I agree 100% with you, the BMW is a better looking car in the outside but the Mercedes has a more luxurious interior.
Soyan, if the noise too loud inside the cabin it gets old after owning the car for a few years.
it was fun to watch you pushing back to the seat when you using launch control!
16:23 , For second I thought you were gonna end up in the trunk from that pull hahaha beautiful car!
the creases on hood were standart on f10 models

Always have loved BMWs... especially the M3 and M5. However I find myself buying Mercedes and Porsche when it comes to writing a check.
Power trunk closing? Why, when you are so concerned about weight to have a carbon roof? Is this just an affectation?
Best sounding M5 yet.
The fender vent is real lol. Spray some water down there
Brilliant just brilliant, love this ride the M5.. Benchmark of it's class no doubt!
Am I the only one that LOVES the exterior and interior of the current 5 Series?
Awesome :) I like this. Thank god the noise isn’t so much 😊 now I will seriously buy this.
Would love to see you do a comparison between this , and the e63 !!! 😊
The E63S would be better, but technically the E63 is the direct competitor. The M5 Competition pack (CP) and E63S are direct competitors, because S is AMG's version of CP :)
Faxx
Lol!
What a beautiful car I love it, I wish I owned one 😔 😭
Why would one want to hear the engine from the inside yet also want sound proofing inside the car?
wait, isn’t the 2017 and up 5 series the G30? the 2011-2016 is the F10.
Is that a huge repaired rock chip in the driver's line of sight?
This is a $120,000 car .. far to many on here talking saying “ it’s okay “ but they driving a Honda. Take a seat
Right on Matt and I smiled everyday driving this beast to work.
The interior is fucking beautiful!!🤤
BMW has never lost sight of anything
sensors on the bezel of the screen? idk i thought the gesture sensors are at the top
Those prices start adding up quickly
You can stack this and the E63 up against the new Audi SQ7. It'd be a very interesting comparo.
Just got to Germany and have officially found out that Americans are getting skimped with American spec cars. Please put Euro spec cars on the autobahn on your bucket list.
I'd like to see that up against the latest Cadillac CTS V
It smokes the caddy
Sounds amazing and after marketed.
Great video......it would be better if you had Matt Maran's nervous girlish giggle but great video!!!
I didn’t know real world driving meant the whole road only has one car.
Wish the foreign cars could still put big V-8s in their cars. Don’t like the sound or throttle response of a small turbo engine. A big n/a or supercharged V8 would be a lot more fun.
Dream car

Can you turn off the hand gesture thing?
They should of kept same gauge cluster in the new 3 series
Damn rear seat room non existent
For that kind of money I think most would opt for the isolated quieter interior - if they want louder they can get exhaust
I like how cars are becoming tech intergraded (except the lazy person options) this car is like a Samsung it comes with many options that you never thought
Good reviews except for the sound that you find disappointing. It's subjective thus it sounded like you were already nitpicking.
Needs to be in S3 manual shift mode during launch.
which is better bmw 5 series or bmw m5 f90.. thank
you
What a beast.
I've often wondered, do those door handle sensors work with gloves or are they capacitive buttons?

Leave it ti New Jersey to require a front plate ruining the front fascia... always hated that on my 06 STI
The worst thing about owning an F90 M5 is not being able to test it's limits on a daily basis. 🙄
Nice shoes, what brand are your ankle shocks?😎
BMW M5 GETS SMART KEY/ DIGITAL SCREEN KEY AS STANTARD....AND TWO EXTRA NORMAL KEY FOBS
Its still manual its just tiptronic thats why there's paddle shifters its just not a real manual clutch stickshift..
The F90 is definately the first worthy successor to the E39 M5.

Cool, too bad that here (China) the M5 is 3 to 4 times the price of a normal 5... at this point I might just get a Chinese ES8, it's a quarter of the price and only 1sec slower to 60 (it makes more power but it's bigger and heavier).
Can you review the new BMW M2
After the V8 of an m3 or z8 and the V10, it's simply not possible to accept the new ones.
The fact that you can’t turn off the fake engine noise is a deal breaker.
Compare it with the current king, the CTS-V
Sound sounds good to me!
