To whomever at BMW that stood up and fought for this car to not be uglified with those terrible grilles, thank you, thank you sir.
its a refresh it will get the ugly big grille in a few years :(
The current 3 series grills are huge, and M5 usually have a bigger grill, just wait for this to get refreshed, i don’t even want to imagine...
@@kevinpr.z oh my god no 😞
love this comment
It’s a good comment but misplaced. The M5 just hasn’t been updated yet to reflect the new design language with the larger grille. It is coming to the M5 as well.
These guys never fail with the intros🤣🤣
So true
IKR
now for me they did't , i was eating and they say pop pop , i was like ,not now ....... hahahhah
I always contemplate how the shenanigans are gonna go at the beginning
Yeah I only watch 'em for the intros because in the end a German car wins anyway.
I can already see this car drifting all over the city in russian music videos
HAHAAHAH
Oof Russian mafia buying cars like they're pancakes.
in chechen clips)
Black M5 E60 flashback intensifies
I can see this car being a escape vehicle after robbing a bank
The new M5 is probably one of the most beautiful cars ever made.
Except the interior, it's kind of outdated now and the E class interior looks better
seriously?? this is clearly not as hideous as the other modern bmws but its still ugly
17 looks better in my eye
It's ok, big heavy sedan with alot of power
@@-SP. the interior is pretty good
Looks like BMW has 2 designers.
One with common sense,
and one who designed the M3 and M4.
literally
oof
and the 7 series and the facelifted x7
The 4 series In general
So true. BMWs today are either awesome (5 series, 8 series, 3 series) or plain ugly (1 series, 2 series, 4 series, 7 series)
These guys are really really growing. They increasingly scratch that "old top gear itch".
Yeah, their videos sometimes remind me of Top Gear very much. The way of presenting, even the pace of the edit.
And then brown came out.
learn to let things go
Couldn’t have put it better. Two comedians into cars, you can’t beat it😂
They beat top gear
So relieved that they didn't ruin the front face with those huge kidney grilles that they are putting on basically everything else
Don't worry. This is just the facelift. It will get ruined when the new model is released.
Do you mean lungs? 😆
@@iscream1253 *nostrils
me too, but its not like we're gonna afford it lol
They're still pretty big, bigger than pre facelift
I love the chemistry between Thomas and James. You can tell that they're having fun.
Have you asked them out?
The taillights look like candy, I’d eat them.
Wished they updated them more like the 3/8 series tho, they look too thicc
@@joshuathomas512 it wouldnt suit the chunky look of the m5
Same your mum
Actually it was tail lights that got me interested in cars when I was a kid in the 80’s. Smashed tail lights on the road always reminded me of candy (or lozenges as we call them here).
I hate it when I eat my cars taillights
"I'm in jail.. I'm in prison tell my mama" James pls lol
So what are you in for?
He says tell my mum I love her*
Hello Hammer how are you doing today
😂😂😂
i genuinely believe this f90 lci will be a legend in the future , hands down the best sedan in the world in terms o looks and performance and the best looking m5 apart form the e39
BMW has finally found the prefect design and proportions (grille) again!
Man. They really made this one look good. Seriously. The exhaust sounds fantastic, the interior is very elegant and the grille is actually attractive. It looks aggressive and sporty like it should. The only quarrel with BMW I have now is their headlights. My wishlist for BMW is them going back to the bright white halo rings for headlights. It was bmw's signature. The Halo's were bmw at its finest. Please go back.
EDIT: Lots of comments confused about the specific model. For clarification, I think the E60 and E70 models were BMW's finest headlights
@Ga Ma f10 or g30? I’m not sure which one you’re referring to
The problem is the RS6 has even more feel than the M5.
What?! Imo the headlights are the best feature of the new 5 series!
nah the main quarrel since 2011 has been the near non-existent steering feel and feedback. The very things which won them every comparison test during the 90's and 00's (along with the straight six). I wouldn't care as much about how the M4 looked if it actually drove like the old M cars..or even the basic e36/e46/e90 325i's
Now it looks like a Volvo's ;_;
Like stroking a furry wall after smoking a Jeffrey. But, you're wearing a glove. So, you don't get to experience it.
Absolutely stunning
Ima cover my whole house with this haha
English teachers are crying over the depth of this quote
I had just commented about the same thing... then I read yours and deleted mine +1
They're acting is great but I'm here for cars. If kids want to play with intros then.... I don't know I just don't get the appeal.
PSA - throwback to "take him to the greek" for anyone who didn't catch that.
That is one of the most fantastic sounding exhausts. It sounds so angry and amazing
The SPEC of this M5 is simply FABULOUS 👌🏻
Why don´t all BMWs look like this?!!
M2 & M5 have similar lines and stance. The rest of the lineup has gone astray.
@@krasnaludek298 the m8 is fantastic
@@thabontjoboko437 Yeah but compared to it’s competition it’s meh. If you take an m8 over a Mercedes gtr or gt 4 door you probably think the m3/4 grilles look nice.
@@mudhen24 well yes?
@@mudhen24 merc fanboys are always so cringe...
This along with M2 CS is one of the best looking modern BMW
M8 GC
@@hassanger8128 m8's front end isn't as handsome and it needs better side bodylines
@@Siggfuggggg2000 Did you see it in person? It's great looking.
3 series and 8 series are perfect.
@@stevem2323 Yeahs it’s better in person
Even though it is an M competition car - it’s meant to be an executive sedan. for handling etc you would look at 4/3 series.
5 series is about comfort with crazy power, which is why the handling is lighter, for everyday driving you do not want to be doing bicep curls on every turn.
You guys are FANTASTIC! It's just so much fun to watch you guys review cars in your own amazing way!
This was the first time in my life that I found a "shity" start to be very entertaining and acceptable! LOL
How can a company that made the 2021 M3 and M4 make this beautiful beast?
Different teams work on different models
it's more like the other way around: How can a company that can make stunning cars like this design shit like the M3 and M4?
Because this isn't a new model M5 it's a refresh....they literally say it in the intro.....wait 1-2 years and you'll get the new big nose grill m5
Sorry, M3 and M4 look good... And they willl be legends in a few years, remember this...
M3 and M4 are amazing. Put a smaller grill, and they are like the M5 and M8
You’re absolutely right about feeling like you’re not going 80 mph..For some reason, BMW has mastered that in their vehicles. The 7 series is the same way!
love you bros, thank you for making a difference in how you report car reviews
I like the bloopers at the end. You should do that more
Bloopers take me out of it. Can't stand them.
@@JohnnyZenith But the majority of people like them...
I'll take the M5 over the AMG 63 S and RS6 any day, week or month of the year. But that's just me.
Agreed!
nah rs6 easily
@@paulalangadan8375 lol your funny mate my dad had both and m5 is wayyyy better
@@mytwobudgies8417 Its just your personal opinion
@@cedricd.w9983 When things are fundamentally better in some ways, it isn’t always opinion. However I’m not sure what model Id personally swing for.
Love the little nuggets you guys throw in your videos like the "Get Him To The GreeK" reference....The mix of great automotive journalism mixed with a dose of humor is really fun to watch. Thank you. Keep up the great work
these reviews blow thestraightpipes out of the water, keep it up
I was like this m5 sounds good for a stock exhaust and then realized it’s North America and we don’t get this exhaust in Europe 😢
We do
No exhaust restrictions in the U.S.; however, we do not get the cool blue laser lights (sucks).
Does anyone know if this is the case in Australia?
@@tylerjones6609 fairly certain it isn't
The exhaust is everythere the same. Even in Europe. The difference is the OPF ( Particular Filter) which is required in europe and which mutes the sound a bit. Nevertheless the exhaust is the same of course.
y'all have the best romantic chemistry in the industry, cheers lads!
Always been an Audi guy and every time I was close to buying an m car I passed because of the no AWD. Well, now that they’ve joined the 21st century with quick shifting transmissions and AWD, I think it’s time to finally give BMW a go.
BMW has had quick shifting transmission since 2008 with the DCT
just drove one at my dealership i work at and its an absolute monster
I prefer the round headlights, Rest looks great. And it sounds amazing, u can clearly hear the turbo spool. Love that
You guys are absolutely fantastic! Love the intros!!! Don't change a thing!!!!
The intros are the best, excellent video keep up the good work guys!!!!
This is the most handsome 5 series ever made so far!!
This is the car version of a lion in a suit.
You guys always do great videos.. Do continue it.. I love it very much❤️
It sounds so good. Love the pops and crackles on the downshifts. Seems like they realized how much people love the AMG exhausts and followed.
Your intros are just awesome guys and great review as always. Well done
“It’s like stroking a furry wall after smoking a Jeffery, with a glove on.”
Top 10 quote of the year 😎
Have been waiting for this for sooo long.
Yup, early X-mas present
Never failing with the intro my new favorite channel! Love this channel
Subscribed now because of the cars but the delivery of content... keep it fresh guys 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Beautiful and fast. That grille is much better than the new M3/4. BMW should keep this design in all other cars.
" I'm in jail, I'm in prison, tell my mom I love her"! EFFING HILARIOUS
The effort these men make is phenomenal.
Love this review and the Canadian winter looks beautiful! Merry Christmas boys
Well this changed my mind. I was dead set on getting the Audi SQ8 and now I’m convinced that I will be getting my second 5 series, this time in the M variant.
Shift "manually"....I shed a tear in remembrance of what that actually used to mean....
Honestly Your videos is like the prime of Top Gear. That is the biggest compliment I can give
I love the way you two get along with each other. Love your videos.
I have the new M5 competition. I recommend it over the M8 competition, I have owned a M8 competition for 3 months. The suspension of the M5 it is better than M8's suspension. The front seats are much more comfortable than M8's seats; if you are a tall person 6"2 you will have a difficulty driving long distances the M8 due to the M seats (the front seats of M8 are different (stiffer and narrower) than the M5's). I recommend the M5 competition. M5 it is much more practical. M8 is beautiful but being a new developed car it cannot compete with an established model, in my opinion. The first time I have choose the looks over the comfort, and I couldn't live with that so I have had to change the car. Before you buy any of these cars, or any car for that matter, it is best to take it for at least 3-4 times to drive tests on the roads that you are familiar with and only after that you should choose. I know that this is a topic for M5 Competition 2021, the car that I recommend, but I wanted to share my experience with the big brother of M5 comp the M8 comp. M8 comp it is not quite a daily driver, the M5 comp is. The new M5 comp is better looking than the old M5 comp; the laser lights that can be fitted on this new M5 comp give the car a better look and better vision in night conditions. I didnt like the looks of the former M5 comp, it was too similar with the 530 model.If you are thinking that the M550i is a better choice, because it is cheaper, you can go with it, but bear in mind, it is just a 5 series with a larger engine, no sport suspension, no performance engine, no performance gearbox, just a low price. What I didn't also liked at M8 comp, were the brakes (are some new electronically controlled brakes, that you can set, but they feel weird and I couldn't get used with them. What I dont like at both cars is the steering wheel feel in Sport setting, it is too light, too disconnected from the car, it should be stiffer, it gives you the sensation that the car floats at higher speeds. There are so many things that are to be said about these sport cars, but everyone will find them after owning them. Like I have said earlier, this is my opinion about the car. The Throttle House guys are making good reviews. Good Look. Stay healthy.
What interests me the most is how yall talk about owning such beasts of cars as if it's like buying a new phone, easily. Damn I wanna talk about cars like this one day too.
@@tsaki_titan Yes, the cars are very expensive, you just have to remember that is is just a car, like any other, a very expensive one, in order to take the money form people who have it; they (manufacturers) are trying to get to your ego, bigger, better, faster. not long ago, say 14 years, on the market there was the new Q7, a 75k euros car at that time, and I was telling my self that you have to be insane to pay that much money for a car, and here I am. Steve jobs said: I order to accomplish great things, you have to do what you like with passion. So, if you want something, just dream big and you will get it. Please watch this, apply it and you will have everything that you need and want: th-cam.com/video/2jSTHdZ5ujE/w-d-xo.html
How's the M8 GC boot space ?
@@JamesSmith-cm7sg The boot space is ok, similar to M5. I want to tell you something about the 4.4l V8 engines (m5C m8gc c): before you buy a car like this, please test drive it. If you feel the gear changes from the 1st to the 2nd and from the 2nd to the 3rd, dont buy it. If the rpms when it changes from 1st to the 2nd gear are over 1850, and if the rpms at gear change form 2nd to 3rd, 3rd to 4th, 4th to 5th, 5th to 6th are over 1500 and from 6th to 7th and 7th to 8th are more than 1350, on a flat road and with the engine at 100 degrees Celsius (normal driving, not sport or anything else) - dont buy it. The engines with a lot of electronics and stuff are very muddy, you will find out this. If when going on a hill, not very steep, and you are in the 5th and you sense that it changes very fast in the 4th, it means that the engine doesn't have enough torque and it needs to increase the rpm in order to get the right amount of torque - if the engine performs well, it should not do that. If the engine has all the symptoms mentioned, that car will not perform at it's best. (70-80%). If you are tall and not very slim ( I am not) the sport seat in M8 is is not the most comfortable (go for the M5). Getting in and out of an M8, being tall, it is not very easy, it is doable bat not comfortable. If you look for those symptoms and the car doesnt have them I recommend it, it is the perfect car (dream car) if not, it will be your worst nightmare. I hope it helps you in making your decision.
@Israel R I am an engineer. Clinical Laboratory equipments.
Keeping in mind that people who buy a car like this will never ever approach even 75% or maybe even 60% of its limits, and want exactly what Thomas is griping about. Super high performance monster while still feeling insulated and comfortable and refined. The true enthusiasts would simply get the m5cs if they want a hardcore sedan for the track as well.
Maybe a true enthusiast won’t get a 160k, 2 ton 4 door sedan with stiff ride to track it.
Not necessarily true, I own one and drive it like an absolute mad man 3-4 times per week
I love this, looks agressive and elegant at the same time. I'd love it on either full metallic black or white.
“Monster in a suit” fuck yeahh!!
My favorite part of m5's i love stealth man
You guys need a show on tv or online streaming service. My favorite car series since classic top gear
What an amazing performance machine😍 elegance with power 💪🏽
Best intro lol, u guys just nail them. Makes everything come together great!
Looks beautiful sounds beautiful drives beautiful & really love those down shift pops! Another masterpiece car & vid thanks guys👍🏿👍🏿
My dream car, still loving my F10.
Must be a totally different design department that made the 5 series than the monsters responsible for the lung grills 🙈😂 it looks beautiful
Yeah and yet they approved that design. Seriously 😂
I like those new grills.
@@JohnnyZenith ewww 🙈
Thank you gents for what you do. This was a great video
This channel is one of those where you hit the like button first then watch the video, it just delivers awesome content.
It's such a good looking car 😍 love the spec!
That Get Him to the Greek reference was everything.
guys, as a long-time fan, this may be your best overall intro & outro yet! Will you ever do a special episode of all the flubs & outtakes from previous videos?
The intro of these videos are what keep me coming back for more. Very funny and unique. 👍🏼
Lol Thomas from the intro is like me on day 2020000 of the quarantine
Makes me laugh anytime anyone complains about lack of steering feel on snow tires. On snow tires, you're signing up for lack of feel because of how soft and squishy the tread blocks are.
Yeah it's not really fair. Then they reference it in the M5 CS review, which is on a streetable track tire.
I really appreciate the executed efforts from Bimmer, Benz & Audi...they seem to really care about delivering the entire package in a single package & the offering of so many models and trims to chose from... I'll NVR deviate from these 3 brands again (hence: bought a 2019 RedEye Challenger, worst $ I ever spent and lost)!
I don’t even know how to express my love for these guys, and don’t get mad I pooped myself too. I found the channel a week ago looking at the m2 and I fell in love with the channel, the humor and facts nothing left out, I feel in the car. I’ve watched almost all the videos in a week or two I love this channel every video, I haven’t been able to comment cause I use a guest account but now that I can use my phone I have been able to comment! Keep up the good work fellow Canadians!
You guys need to watch this video with headphones. That Engine sounds sexyy asf 😌😌😌 M Nation
You guys are awesome ,funny and very entertaining ! Straightpipes videos have lately become annoying with point less rants, merch and subscription plugs. Intros are funny and editing reminds us of top Gear. Good work! M5 competition is a beast.
I could listen to 1:13-1:20 on loop forever and it wouldn’t tire me.
Yup!! The ultimate driving machine!! M5 Competition!!! No words to it!!
Such a great review! Can't stop laughing! Well done guys!
Gotta say I do love this thing, F30/F80 3 series and the G30 5 series is by far my favorite BMWs... But personally, im not a fan of the new DRLs. If I had the money id love to get a G30 LCI M550d with the non-lci headlights.
You guys make the best content on TH-cam, and I'm not even really into cars like that
Always man, always I get surprised with your intros. Small details like intro makes great reviews!
Intro's are the best.
A good intro: half the job is done.
No words for how good this looks
Jeffrey wall & glove combo told me all I needed to know. No more, no less. Perfect
Loved the "Get Him to the Greek'" refrence
Good job bmw! Love the new ttrs headlights!!!
You guys have the best job ever!
I love your videos. I never miss any. Can you please review an M8 grand coupe. If possible??
As an F10 M5 owner, I wasn't interested in upgrading to the F90 M5 when it came out because of it's lackluster styling / sound. This refresh is subtle - but does a lot to improve the appeal.
I am hoping you guys will review the BMW M5 CS and do a track test and on both the comp and the CS. I think if they get the tactility and handling dynamics right of the cs it will be top of it’s class. Just this past week the M5 CS did a lap on a German Track not the Nordshlieff, and was only about 1/10 of a second behind a Ferrari 812 Superfast! Please review the CS or at least have it on Extra Throttle House. Also if any other of guys out in the comment section want to see more throttle house go to Extra Throttle House their new channel!
I love your review. Super AWESOME!!!!
That induction noise.. Is everything.
I've always loved the M3 and M5! The updated 2021 version seems to do exactly what it's suppose to do in a perfectly understated way. I just wish the cost of ownership was at least "reasonable" on well kept used ones. I'm not sure I'd want to deal with it as a second/summer car.
BTW, the exhaust note coming through my speakers while they were going over the interior was simply intoxicating. Not sure if that was by design. Either way, yummy....
Thank you for explaining what “LCI” means. 🙂
Most awaited video ❤️
Oh, the out takes...haha! Thanks for the Vlog. Merry Christmas!
I do like the pre-LCI DRL more than the new ones. Other than that, BMW did a damn good job with this facelift.
That is a fucking beautiful car.
The bloopers at the end are a great addition.
The pops and bangs are just heavenly... A feeling that electric will never evoke.
