Maybe putting the car down a bit and get the tires further out will already help with that feel, we will see But I think we can probably now say for sure that the M5 peaked with the F90 2021.

Nah, Bangle's E60 is on par with the new generation of ugliness, never grew on me. All other Bangle's designs still look good today, especially the coupes.
Still FUGLY. Garbage. Gross. Bembli, you are correct, the e39 was the best designed saloon they ever made. I owed two different versions- a 528i and 528iT.
What BMW should've done with the new M5 is do something similar to what Chevy did with the Corvette E-Ray, where it's simply a mild hybrid system rather than a plug-in hybrid and the electric motors recharge themselves. In my humble opinion, the F90 M5, which came out in 2018 is the most beautiful out of all the M5 generations, specifically the facelift which came out in 2021 and we got the beast that is the M5 CS.

Im not too worried about the rear being too high. I thought the same about the new 7. The ass looked too tall in pictures. Then I saw one IRL and it just looked normal.
The hybrid aspect is because the legislations. There are some cities where soon you will not be allowed to drive a car that is not atleast a hybrid. And you cannot make a high end super saloon without have it be allowed to drive through towns
I feel like the design would be perfect modern if they kept them more of a boxy rear fenders like the M2. It kind of harks back to the E30 M3 and not done that weird diaper thing down the middle of the rear diffuser. If you look at the original rendering it was a solid across and if they kept that it would be a perfect 10/10 modern BMW IMO
I think that we’ve been spoiled with BMW designs in the past. I think this car will look better in person and can maybe grow on us like the M3/M4 eventually did, but who knows
BMW didn't learn from their lesson of the XM, they went plug-in hybrid and made and absolute brute of a car that somehow weighs about the same as a **G63** **SUV**
The regulations specified bumper performance; they did not prescribe any particular bumper design. Nevertheless, many cars for the U.S. market were equipped with bulky, massive, protruding bumpers to comply with the 5-mile-per-hour bumper standard in effect from 1973 to 1982. This often meant additional overall vehicle length, as well as new front and rear designs to incorporate the stronger energy-absorbing bumpers, adding weight to the extremities of the vehicle.
The comments on the weight of the car … we get it. This thing is ridiculously heavy. Everyone needs to just wait on the driving impressions. It’s actually a very good looking car (especially for BMW recent styling faux pas). If you want a primary track car then this isn’t for you. If you want a 4 door performance car that can be your everyday commuter then this might be in play.
When you approach an M5 is like a matured car but you open the door only to find out you're in your son's room with all this annoying light shows. This car is supposed to be used my matured individuals it is not a playful car like the M3 and immature M2 so we stick to the old stuff.
Disregarding the technical specs of this car, mainly its weight problem, it actually doesn't look bad. I do wish they kept the chunky taillights though.
I hate the fake staggered wheels man... If you wanna make them staggered make the whole wheel staggered. Make the tire bigger in the back as well. Not just the rim and have the tire side wall smaller.
Looks damn good. Now the weight, interior etc. is questionable, but that's the story with every new generation now. Most of the buyers of these vehicles had the same issues with the outgoing model and yet BMW sold more than ever.
@@SlowJoe76 It doesn't look aggressive, just incomplete. There are some cars that are wider than the base model that have a widebody kit look to them (WRX, GR Corolla) that still look like they're meant to be there because the styling accentuates the wheel arches. On the M3 and M5, the wider hump over the round wheel arch is interrupted by a straight line of the door.
I hate the rear bumper where the reflector is situated. Looks like a huge piece was sliced off behind the rear wheel. It is too angular and doesn't flow well at all. The increase in the height and weight of the vehicle is not a good thing given the market niche it is targeting. Huge batteries are a huge problem both for the added weight and finding the space inside the chassis to situate them. The rear fender beginning aft of the doors must be a cost-saving feature. BMW can then use the same doors on all of their 5-series models. Yes, it looks kind of abrupt but not as bad as that reflector cut-out. The dash is revolting but I'm not surprised they went with a full digital layout. Of the three versions BMW was considering I much preferred the top one. The front and back look well integrated and its character comes out better. The production version is a mixed bag. I prefer the competition.
And easily the ugliest one of the big 3. Audi for the win. Fastest suv on the ring, fastest compact car on the ring. Ad then design is spot on. Bmw has lost it. F90 CS was perfect. Everything else that came after it is piece of junk.
@@TheVerraton while the E-Tron GT is my favorite car to drive from any of the B1G 3, I think BMW has the more modernized lineup. Audi is letting the Q5 and Q7 age until the next decade.
I do wonder if the initial reviews have missed the main point of this new M5. Reviewers are not focussing on its super low 50g/KM emissions and the tax breaks this enables, bringing the car firmly into consideration by company car drivers. It is also priced cheaply against high end rivals (think Panamera, new Bentley). When you take account of these two points, the new car keeps a ICEV8 based M5 alive as opposed to a fully electric model. I suspect in time the strategic motivation of BMW M Division will be recognised and the car will be successful. I have owned several M5s and RS6 as my daily-driver in the past. I don't want an electric car and I don't want to spend £150k to £220k on a Panamera or Bentley. I also want a V8, and I like the coherent and better proportioned styling of this new M5 (something I cannot say for most BMW's since Chris Bangle initiated his surface-flaming evolution). I have also had many 911 Turbos/Turbo S and I see that Porsche have done a similar exercise with their latest 911 to the extent the ICE has been maintained and the electric motor/hybridisation is largely there to reduce emissions (although I see how super clever electric motor tech is deployed to drive the turbo). All food for thought. Replies from fellow petrol heads would be appreciated.
The G90 M5 is the first M5 in history to be slower than it's predecessor. If this new M5 lost about 1,000 lbs or was the same weight as the F90 M5 CS, it would be the greatest M5 of all time...
If I had to choose between that “fat” thing and the F90 I’d take the F90 for granted. The new one looks like some fake GTA car where they don’t have licenses for the real cars. Big L for BMW in my opinion.
A Rolls Royce Phantom Coupe (the rare hardtop one) weighs only 400 lbs more than the New M5…… A 2013 Escalade weighs LESS than the new M5. Crazy how heavy new cars have gotten.
I initially didn’t like the look on this M5 when it was first introduced during the week, but within days it’s starting to grow on me 😂. I really think most people would grow into it too. I heard BMW have literally cheated physics with this added weight
I legitimately don't know what's going on with BMW Design, but no one can convince me they know what they're doing when they intentionally decided to *not* surface the junction between the rear door and rear haunch.
The F90 LCI is a beautiful, well crafted design...it's handsome, executive, aggressive and creates emotion...not sure on the design direction here...not a fan of the lit grill, the drl's and the huge m5 logo on the hofmeister kink is not necessary...the rear tail lights look like an amg gt 63 coupe...why? It's not the ///M5 I was anticipating...the interior has some nice lighting and branding elements on the headrest etc...but what's wrong with having a few tactile buttons for temperature control etc.? New HUD looks nicer...an attractive car but maybe the LCI will fix a number of things..hope the M division can fix the m3 with a more proportional grill and some more exciting tail lights and body lines. 🙏

I have also had many 911 Turbos/Turbo S and I see that Porsche have done a similar exercise with their latest 911 to the extent the ICE has been maintained and the electric motor/hybridisation is largely there to reduce emissions (although I see how super clever electric motor tech is deployed to drive the turbo). All food for thought. Replies from fellow petrol heads would be appreciated.
I hope it’s as fast as the XM 🥴 BMW: BIG MASSIVE WEIGHT
x5 m is a better buy
The G90 M5 is the first M5 in history to be slower than it's predecessor. If this new M5 lost about 1,000 lbs or was the same weight as the F90 M5 CS, it would be the greatest M5 of all time...
F90 looks so much better.
The front couldn't look more like a Škoda Octavia VRS lol
Previous M5 was a masterpiece of a design, this doesn't top it, still would buy the previous model over the new one anyday.
If I had to choose between that “fat” thing and the F90 I’d take the F90 for granted. The new one looks like some fake GTA car where they don’t have licenses for the real cars. Big L for BMW in my opinion.
I'm a wholesale car buyer for a large auto group. I also daily drive a 22 Mustang GT. But this new M5 is fantastic...best M5?
This or the XM🤔?., I'd go with the latter any day of the year!😁
Shame there won't be a Competition version.
A Rolls Royce Phantom Coupe (the rare hardtop one) weighs only 400 lbs more than the New M5…… A 2013 Escalade weighs LESS than the new M5. Crazy how heavy new cars have gotten.
Can you design your own car from the ground up?
3 tons ... ahhh screams sporty
I initially didn’t like the look on this M5 when it was first introduced during the week, but within days it’s starting to grow on me 😂. I really think most people would grow into it too. I heard BMW have literally cheated physics with this added weight
To anyone reading this, please pray for my recovery and send positive thoughts my way.
Dude, you NEED to have an outro or something, without it you just have this weird anticlimactic cut for an ending. Just say bye lol
I legitimately don't know what's going on with BMW Design, but no one can convince me they know what they're doing when they intentionally decided to *not* surface the junction between the rear door and rear haunch.
I hate how bmw can’t use different rear doors, they use regular 5 series doors which don’t align with wider rear car fenders, is sticks out so much
Where do you plan to drive 195 mph?
The F90 LCI is a beautiful, well crafted design...it's handsome, executive, aggressive and creates emotion...not sure on the design direction here...not a fan of the lit grill, the drl's and the huge m5 logo on the hofmeister kink is not necessary...the rear tail lights look like an amg gt 63 coupe...why? It's not the ///M5 I was anticipating...the interior has some nice lighting and branding elements on the headrest etc...but what's wrong with having a few tactile buttons for temperature control etc.? New HUD looks nicer...an attractive car but maybe the LCI will fix a number of things..hope the M division can fix the m3 with a more proportional grill and some more exciting tail lights and body lines. 🙏
Well good news is all prior M5s are now collectable
these new bmw's are just like unskippable ads, and we're waiting to see what's gonna happen in rest of the video
What happened to sketchmonkey?
The f90 was literally a modernization of the e39. Real bmw design language
Why is this 7-series being called a 5-series?
