i dont get why gtr fanboys have to go on every car video and say gtr is best car ever created....yes its a good car but idc if i wanted to learn about the gtr id go to a vid of a gtr! i dont need you comparing some car you dont even own to the m5 theyre completly different
Chris Harris-we've missed you. You've been away for far too long. Here's to many more reviews. You have a certain way of discussing the cars that no one else does. I commend you for that. Your driving skill, your enthusiasm, etc. is bang on. Welcome back.
Chris is doing an absolutely excellent job with these videos. His writing in Evo is top drawer too. I'd rather have one of these engaging 3 minute reviews than an hour of Top Gear crap any day of the week!
Goddamn it Chris, where have you been? Welcome back. One of the few people on the planet whose opinions I trust implicitly. I would but the M5 just for those front seats alone, they look incredible.
true, the M5 is much less suspicious due to the fact that it doesnt look much different to an ordinary 5 series, the GTR on the other hand is extremely suspicious thanks to its big rear spoiler, sporty rims and its racing inspired features
I do think about all M cars look (I can't say feel because I've never driven one) very different from the "normal series". You see an M5 or an M3 in a parking or on the street, just glancing at it you know it's not a normal 5-series or 3-series. All those subtle modifications he mentioned are noticeable on older cars as well. They do feel like "different" cars. I would've liked a longer review though, with some of the drawbacks and a bit more specs.
Just started looking to buy one of these now. What a package. Any known issues like the other M cars? I’m thinking actuators, bearings, subframe mounts, electronic glitches etc?
So how is the car do drive then? There's a lot of talk about fuel efficiency and body panels. But what about the steering, the chassis, the grip, the comfort, the thrill, the throttle response? More Chris and less politics please.
wow, lot different than what Chris does on DRIVE. Drive does a much better job, showing the car the audio and the camera angles, glad he made the switch
Not many people will notice the difference between a 50 or 60 year woman.As for the Bimmer, It is really not purposely built.E60 was good,E39 was even better, but this is just NOT reliable.I've been checking a lot of comparisons (Russian/German ones) and everyone is saying that quality-wise,it's bad.
chris harris is easily the best automotive journalist in the world today clarkson is old, senile and over opinionated. he was out of his prime 10 years ago. Ive always been his fan, but his time passed long ago unfortunatly he still appeals to the masses
I don't think you understood what i said. Driving is not about numbers. It's about an experience, weather the GTR matches it's numbers or not is completely irrelevant.
Great car but i wish they had not used last gen 7 series chassis length on it. I drove the 535i on the track and its just too big of a car for my taste. I do bet it feels like a ballistic missile when you put the pedal down
Chris doesnt really convince me with that last sentence...nice car though. I just feel that lately bmw has lost some of it's soul....///M cars used to be the shit! they were light, nimble, and even looked the part. Nowadays you can't tell a standard e9X 3 series from an m3 (well the general public, that is). -HP
@M5IAN made the best cars ever. until a couple of years ago they were the makers of the best NA engines in the world. now they are all about downsizing and turbodiesels
Well, I hate them too, but to be honest, GTR is perfection, and if I ever have that much money, I would buy him no questions asked, although M5 is my dream car.
@koruki Top Gear does too much goofing around, these are proper car reviews that car enthusiasts want and what Top Gear USED to do before they got silly and appealing to lowest common denonimator
i may be a gtr guy but i have to admit, you cannot compare a GTR to an M5, the GTR doesnt have the build quality, the luxuries or the finish that the M5 does, in fact, compared to the current M5, the GTR can seem a little vulgar, not to metion the M5 is quite a bit heavier due to the fact that it's larger and unlike the GTR, the M5 doesnt have a super-grippy AWD system. The GTR is designed to be a no-nonsense budget supercar, the M5 however is designed to be a businessman's super-saloon.
Rewatching this in 2024. Always great content from CH even today.
Is je dead or something?
@@javierjimenez3627 updated my comment! I can see why it sounded like that!

Welcome back.
12 years later and Chris is a superstar
GTR fanboys don't drive in real life. They only understand numbers on paper, not driving.
man watching chris in the old days wow what a change
so happy to sign on to youtube and see chris harris' face all over my feed
Chris is doing an absolutely excellent job with these videos. His writing in Evo is top drawer too. I'd rather have one of these engaging 3 minute reviews than an hour of Top Gear crap any day of the week!
Chris Harris should be on Top Gear! Great review
This comment aged like a fine wine
Goddamn it Chris, where have you been? Welcome back.
One of the few people on the planet whose opinions I trust implicitly.
I would but the M5 just for those front seats alone, they look incredible.
Well done Chris. Good to see you back - I was an early DR subscriber, shame it didn't work out.
Go watch Chris on drive if you miss him so much!! Hes doing great work over there too!
this car is the reason im still in college and chasing my dreams
we need more reviews from this guy!!!
good job
I agree. They can only think about speed and power. There're factors such as luxury when you want a nice high-powered four-door.
Chris Harris is the best reviewer this side of Clarkson
It is an 8 month old comment, but I couldnt have said it better myself, superbly explained.
That interior looks amazing.
true, the M5 is much less suspicious due to the fact that it doesnt look much different to an ordinary 5 series, the GTR on the other hand is extremely suspicious thanks to its big rear spoiler, sporty rims and its racing inspired features
Chris is back! That was a great review.
This guy is great. And he's got the best job in the world.
Hey Chris, have you nailed it with this review? I would say so.
M-5 IS DELIGHTFUL FULL OF PRESENCE AND PERSONALITY IT SHOULD DO WELL ON THE OPEN MARKET!!!
I do think about all M cars look (I can't say feel because I've never driven one) very different from the "normal series". You see an M5 or an M3 in a parking or on the street, just glancing at it you know it's not a normal 5-series or 3-series. All those subtle modifications he mentioned are noticeable on older cars as well. They do feel like "different" cars.
I would've liked a longer review though, with some of the drawbacks and a bit more specs.
yeah, the gt-r is a cheap and fast car... but holy shit this gtr-community is ridiculous
Chris, have you shrunk? The front seat looks huge...... Great review.
Just started looking to buy one of these now. What a package.
Any known issues like the other M cars? I’m thinking actuators, bearings, subframe mounts, electronic glitches etc?
Pay extended warranty and make sure it covers special parts like active dampers. These cars burn oil from excessive heat due to hot v turbo setup
yeah, but how does it stack up against a ford focus?
WHEN DOES IT COME OUT IN THE U.S??????????
@TheGrahamDillon I was told he took a job with pistonheads. Apparently Tiff Needel from Fifth Gear will be taking his place on Evo staff
Great Review!
What about the steering feel??
Manual e-brake or bust
where did he go?
a review by chris... very much informations in a short time... entertaining so look... chris harris FTW!!!! :)
i have had two 540s bmws i would die for a m5 and this guy with it i,m a guy ya baby
So how is the car do drive then? There's a lot of talk about fuel efficiency and body panels. But what about the steering, the chassis, the grip, the comfort, the thrill, the throttle response? More Chris and less politics please.

bmw cars make me wanna be succesful when i grow up, they are so desireable
Everything is better except the noise, miss the V10.
yayyyy!!! finally a Chris Harris review :D

I'd say so too. Awesome review.
Fantastic review.
great review, fantastic car
Chris! YES! Thank you!
Same thing with a V12?
its look super comfortable it has full
range
@xerox123321 Back? He never went away? He was writing for Evo soon after DR went under!
how does one come across a job such as chris harris'?
do you own and/or drive a gtr?
Custard?
You are rigth, I was just exaggerating. The point is that the new one is much faster than the old one. A car still not able to go to 155,000 MPH.
he is on /Drive now
good review, nuff said
Have you actually sat in a GT-R?
Nice driving
Great car but i wish they had not used last gen 7 series chassis length on it. I drove the 535i on the track and its just too big of a car for my taste. I do bet it feels like a ballistic missile when you put the pedal down
barely saw the car, i surprised myself at the end of the video that i was actually looking elsewhere and realised, OH review is done.
Chris doesnt really convince me with that last sentence...nice car though. I just feel that lately bmw has lost some of it's soul....///M cars used to be the shit! they were light, nimble, and even looked the part.

nice drifting
the new m5 is frickin awesome
That t shirt though 👌🏼
I do actually know quite alot about the F10 bimmer, and i don't think the comparison is stupid to be honest.
unreal car
I love both the M5 and the GT-R. What u gonna do about it haters?
Does he like it, or what???
you don't get it... it's b/c it's got superior sound insulation...
I would love to see this engine in e39 touring, that would be a sleeper.
How's that drift with this new M5?
Not great. No handbrake
Look at the G-Power M6 and see what that car does to the GTR! He plays with it...
@fabelas550 Still you came here and saw the video.
WHY WAS HARRIS GONE FOR SO LONG???
@M5IAN made the best cars ever. until a couple of years ago they were the makers of the best NA engines in the world. now they are all about downsizing and turbodiesels
Well, I hate them too, but to be honest, GTR is perfection, and if I ever have that much money, I would buy him no questions asked, although M5 is my dream car.
@koruki Top Gear does too much goofing around, these are proper car reviews that car enthusiasts want and what Top Gear USED to do before they got silly and appealing to lowest common denonimator
Well if the M5 is much exciting to drive, I hope the next future M3 will give me nightmares when I put my foot on the pedal
How come BMW gets it right every time with their M Cars. Thats just magic or something...
The GTR is a great care but it feels like they engineered the car for the track only, its very smart with good value BUT i'd rather buy the M5.
Those exhaust pipes should be bigger and squared.
Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Harris.
drifting the newest cars..best job
i may be a gtr guy but i have to admit, you cannot compare a GTR to an M5, the GTR doesnt have the build quality, the luxuries or the finish that the M5 does, in fact, compared to the current M5, the GTR can seem a little vulgar, not to metion the M5 is quite a bit heavier due to the fact that it's larger and unlike the GTR, the M5 doesnt have a super-grippy AWD system.

that headrest looks like a builders crack...
Horrible camera work EVO. Must try harder.
+w00t This video is almost 5 years old... Have you seen their more recent content? Arguably the best on the internet.
why do I feel like it isn't as fast as the M3? It better do 4.0s 0-60
Why can't all people appreciate all cars :(
Chris Harris says what u want to hear
cant compare them man, a fast saloon versus a supercar?
@MrDodobmw yeah I know
except topspeed....price, comfort, space for passengers, luggage, mpg .....
@Kprawl291986 with 3 turbos i think so : )
this is the most recent comment you've seen recently in this comment section.
Yes my friend
hate it livin in a world full of money makers take those ads down
CHRIS HARRISYOUR THE BEST
@M5IAN I feel the same way! :)
@TheEryk03 you are forgiven mate !
I'd take the v10 all day
how can bmw make the next m5 better?
They have trust me its 2019
