BMW engineer here: Thank you for your kind words. Much appreciated :-) Some of us actually do watch your channel(s). Please continue producing this high quality content. I really like it. By the way I think you guys are really funny but I'm not sure if it is a sign of great humor when a German engineer likes it... ;-) P.S.: I especially liked that twin-M3 test.
Sir, I am in a market for a new sports sedan, and the New M3/M4 falls in my price range and performance. However I can't seem to bring myself to like the new face. I guess I have 2 questions, 1. Does that oversized kidney grill enhance the performance? 2. Could there be a potential update to the face, perhaps I could wait a little longer for an updated version? Thank you for your time.
Modern bmw cs cars seem to be what early 2000s m cars used to be. You give the engineers and the driversthe ability to do what they want for the car, and out comes the near perfext cars like this.
It finally clicked for me. I realized that this channel is basically everything I wanted The Straight Pipes to be. I stopped watching them because everything was "Really Good" or "gloss black" bleh. You guys actually describe the driving dynamics and have some technical knowledge about the cars you drive, but you keep it casual in the Extra channel. Your conversations feel less forced and you guys make me laugh a lot. I can get my top gear feeling from the main channel and the layed back friends talking about cars in this channel. You guys really do a stupendous job and it makes me feel bad that I can watch it for free (I always sit through the ads for you guys).
That's why I stick to Throttle House and savagegeese, I used to watch Straight Pipes a lot, but they play it too safe with everything being "really good".
Straight pipes is a no go. They don’t know what they are talking about a lot of the time. Their driving skill and knowledge is lacking. Along with other reasons. I also was just thinking wow TT is so much better than Straight pipes.
I grew up in the 90's dreaming of owning an M5. Today I'm a proud owner of a F10 535i which I got 0KM. Couldn't be happier especially with all the tunes I've done, and it makes me want to work up to M5 even more.
Been a while with Bimmers from the '91 318i E30 M40 then the '97 323i E36 M50 and '03 325i E46 M54 couple with '97 528i E39 M50 and now owning a '15 320i F30 Sport Wrenching 'em all myself except for the heavy works like engine and tranny overhauling, that's for the workshop
Fellow f10 535i owner here also. Trying to get a pure turbo stage 2 and push this baby to 600whp. I’m gonna be faster than an m5 without owning an m5 hopefully lol
@@JadedTea where I live, there's no such things as M Cars here that legally imported I know 5 persons here that have E92 M3 and E46 M3 but you can find several F80 M3 and F82 M4 Been driving 'em all and to be honest the NA engines of the old M3s are better preferably the V10 in the E92 M3 All I can do is just copying the bodykits of those M Cars into my standard Bimmers and upgraded the in car entertainment, no crazy modified engines - all standards and I'm quite happy with the outcome
BMW's are such a roller-coaster of emotions. They are awesome to drive, and you are happy. They break, and you are sad. You fix them, and you are happy. And so it goes again....
@@henzo7087 you couldn't of owned any past thier warranty then. I have 3 at moment also. E70 x5m e60 m5 and e46 zhp. All awsome vehicles. Love them but the e46 has the other 2 beat for reliability and my neighbors 20yr old camery has all 3 beat for reliability, by a long shot.
@@niewissen9912 I have an 07 550 6spd I had for 6yrs and im at 60k total spent on this car including purchase price. I cant imagine what that m5 cost. Im not exaggerating.
What I found amazing was that after the red eye got traction, the M5cs continued to pull away. That’s a fast car. How about against a corvette and Porsche etc. Looking forward to seeing it
The Redeye didn't get traction... the Redeye holds the 1/4 mile record for fastest gasoline sedan in the world.... it did 10.13s. The Redeye is just not fast on the street it was made for the drag strip only.. it was also beaten by E63s wagon on RWD .
Thank you Thomas for this great review! While James is to thank as well, Thomas's excitement and passion is on another level which helps to share the vibe of how special this car really is. While the M5 competition was already the super sedan king, this CS model just solidifies that position even more.
Are you guys able to do tuned cars at all? Or reviews of “most bang for your buck” tunable cars? I’d love to see Thomas drive a tuned car around the track.
They have done tuned cars a few times before, I don't remember which ones though. I think one video was like Ford vs Dodge vs Chevy and they were all tuned but I may be wrong
These are now 370,000 in australia. It would be one of the first cars I would buy after collecting my 1st division lotto winnings. An amazing modern classic. Thanks for the content guys. Big Fan from Oz
What about this is a family car? The small boot? Or the horrible rear seats? The E63s Wagon and RS6 are actual family cars, so is the Alpina B5 Touring
I have a 2019 M5 (not Comp or CS) and I'm scared to turn off the driver assist--it revs scary high even at low speeds, growling like a bad-tempered Rottweiler trying to shake off the leash.
This car must be extremely amazingggg!!!! Every reviewer I've watched have named it the best in the world. It's definitely a dream car for me once I'm done with college. Excellent Review as always BTW
I’m a caddy guys so I disagree with looks wise. This is a sexy beast. Thomas is so thoughtful that I get why this is his #1. Our generation will be remembered for the pinnacle of ICE engines.
James is one Quick Witted Man. I love his Sense of Humor and quick thinking. I thought I was quick, Not in the same room as James. LOL Love these guys.
This is the most desired m5 ever after the legendary e60 v10, the cs trim is really put out the engineers first before the accounting put the price tag on
Would love for you guys to take something like an M550i (with DHP) around the track just to showcase how much different a sporty luxury car vs a luxurious performance sedan is.
I love this car I really do, have been expecting bmw to give me bring something better to the consumer's now we are here,I totally love it guy's thumbs up throttle house
After all the reading, and video reviews I've seen for this car - it has to be tops on my list. Performance, looks... everything. The best bimmer in years. I have to agree (without driving it) the best car in the world.
Almost!!! Stay on a topic! And if you're in a New M car, enjoy the drive and no need to bring up Audi, just yet! Keep up the videos!! We need more, so I will subscribe!!
What was James question again? Something about the two German competitors and how to make them get to where the CS is? I wanted Thomas to comment on it but they were really in the moment. Great to see Thomas giddy again about a BMW.
@@austensmith3330 2010 m6 with 50k miles is selling for $20k in my area. Car looks to be in tip top shape. I'm pretty sure, this will also depreciate as much. Why do you think it won't?
@@Oz1111 that model year M6 is notoriously unreliable and expensive to repair because of the trans and the v10, that’s why it’s so cheap. Owned one and it was a nightmare, sounds great though
@@austensmith3330 yeah. No, I won't be buying it. I looked up the issues and will cost as much to fix it if the car has them. My point though is that all these cars depreciate regardless.
Not the biggest fan of bmw but they are known to give their car more power than stated. This car have about 700hp it will beat the ct5 v black wing in a straight line , not sure on a track
I'd love to have a list of all the differences in the front end between this and an M5 comp. Is it an all new steering rack, or just a tune? - if it's the tuning, why can't we get it lower models?

@yoo jastle the M5 was always a „boring“ sedan... but that what makes it so perfect
Except this isn't the standard M5 and is outrageously priced.
@@Gunar-ux5zy this is boring to you? look at the facelift E63 and tell me the M5 is boring
It’s kinda sad. Base m3 and m4 seem more luxury than track focused
"Thomas has lived with it and almost left his wife for it."
I felt that.
Why ? Are you his wife ?
@@oussamabendakir1453 No, he could relate to the possibility of Thomas leaving his wife for the Cs

True. Straight Pipes started strong, but it's hard to stand Jakub for more than a couple of minutes these days.

That color scheme is drop dead... give me a long roof and it's dream car territory.
Fkn mind blown......ima huge long roof guy and that would be FKN perfect!!! Agreed with the color combo too 🤤🤤🤤🔥
The CS has the dampers of the M8, stiffer engine mounting and also sits lower as far as I know
M8 is 'a fast Buick' in Cammisa's words. Which means same as M5 Comp; overinsulated performance machine. They did something smart to M5 CS. Bravo.
The facelift M5 Competition also has the M8 dampers.
the CS sits 7mm lower than the BASE M5, same dampers in CS and M5C lci..
What I found amazing was that after the red eye got traction, the M5cs continued to pull away. That’s a fast car. How about against a corvette and Porsche etc. Looking forward to seeing it

i love how real and funny these guys are.
Are you guys able to do tuned cars at all? Or reviews of “most bang for your buck” tunable cars? I’d love to see Thomas drive a tuned car around the track.
They have done tuned cars a few times before, I don't remember which ones though. I think one video was like Ford vs Dodge vs Chevy and they were all tuned but I may be wrong
They try to get cars that are the most stock they can find.
I love how they always struggle to introduce this channel
I looked up just throttle house couldn’t find it lol
Best looking best perfromance across all sedans ever! Bmw did something special
I wish you had a third channel called, TH explaining what the channels are. All good.
This preparation is simply incredible
💎
WOOOOO!!!! Love your reviews! Keep it up gentlemen.
It’s good to hear that bmw can make a good car new. Now can they make it hold up over time.
That's a hard no😁
Just have to maintain them, like any car.
You guys deserves 100Million Subscribers ! Beautiful contents ! I wish you guys success
BMW carbon ceramics have ALWAYS been gold.
Best sedan on the planet, fast and with a soul.

The extra videos are genius, no smoke and mirrors genuine car guys
Low production throttle house > full production from The StraightGimmicks
I actually prefer the StraightPipes and this one. The main Throttle House doesn't do it for me. I like the discussions

This is one of the best and most comprehensive review of the X5 I've seen so far. Thanks guys!
Love the developing conversations about what ‘sportscar feel’ is on this channel! Thanks
Is there any day in James life where he doesn’t talk about a Miata🤣

you like cheese a lot i take it. your sense of humor is adolescent
The end really hot the nail on the head. This is just what the M5 should be. The regular m5 and m5c are pointless.

Best sedan of all time
Love it when people complain about how expensive cars are, while here in Denmark a car like that is going to be at least 550-600k $
This colour is impeccable!
Yes! GTC4Lusso is my dream dream car! I love your love for it!!
Can we talk about how much hp we really think it is based off mph 1/4 times. Its easily a 700hp+ it seems.
Well it was pulling on a 797hp hellcat... so that thing must have even more than that.
@@alannguyen5050 it's also 500lbs lighter than a Redeye but I did watch the video also. I wanna know how underrated it really is lol

The camera shots from the rear make the cabin in the rear look as big as a limo, and the front as small as a mini 😀
Beautiful car, I can't afford it yet but beautiful car.
This is what an ultimate driving machine should be.
Every time I hear James say "lighter," I have flashbacks to that Lexus RC F outtake.
Imagine this car as a wagon. There you got your best car in the world
M5 CS is my dream car. Would love one in Brands Hatch metallic with gold brake callipers.
Such a great platform from BMW. Simply the best.
