2018-2020 BMW M5 | The Most Insane Luxury Sedan Ever
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- The M5 is one of the most insane cars sold in America and yet at the same time eminently practical. With launch control you can run 0-60 times that would make Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and McLarens jealous, but it seats people in comfort and has enough room in the back for rear facing child seats and two sets of golf clubs. The lateral grip isn't quite in the super-car category but it's shockingly close while delivering a ride that won't bruise your kidneys. BMW's latest AWD system improves traction in adverse weather yet is fully-defeatable when you want to do doughnuts and burnouts. The M5 is quite simply one of the most impressive engineering accomplishments from Germany, yet at the same time it's upsetting all manner of BMW M-faithful. But they couldn't be more wrong... This is the best M ever.

“But if you’re a rational human being...” LOL! 4:53
Come on mega millions!
If one would win this so called mega millions. Would it be unreasonable to put a race track in ones back yard and buy 4 of these in different colors. Or would everyone judge stating how one could have feed a village in Africa instead🤔
Mehh if people judged me about what I did with my money, no matter how it was acquired, I'd send them a video of me fake crying into my hundred dollar bills
@@Alumnikiid I wouldn't care. Guys like Bezos sitting on over 100 billion and is very stingy. If tomorrow I got some millions I'm not gonna give it away I'm gonna invest it!
Alumnikiid if you feed a village in Africa , the food will become shit the day later , so what then , how long are you gonna keep feeding them ?build a school or a hospital for them , wouldn't that make more sense ? And buy a nice M5 with the left over money , cheers .
Not going to lie, I need a better career for one of these 😂😂. Love the video 👍👍
Alex review, always being modest and compare car's shortcoming with other car's pros. Like ur style.
My dream daily. Amazing car. Great review as always.
My only gripe with this car is the electric power steering as opposed to a hydraulic system. Other than that, this car is a freaking beast!
A very comprehensive review! Thank you for the hard work. If I was allowed just one car to live with, I'd definitely take an M5.
Alex knows his shit! Well done!
And these engine respond well to a tune
AWD and an automatic transmission... SO WHAT! I'm not offended when it goes 0-60 in 2.8 seconds.
Great review Alex. Keep up the great work!
This is a car that designed purely for lease, it was designed in a way that once your warranty expires your monthly repair bills would exceed your original payment on the car.
You now that bmw always lies so that car is probably making around 700 hp
Probably more like 650hp.
Adding to what Bennie said, they make anywhere between 630-650hp depending on the mileage of the car and the dyno used. Cars that are still "tight" (lower mileage just over the run in mileage) make just over 630hp. There are claims of M5s making up to 670hp, but that's not realistic. The AMG E63S is also making in the region of 650hp, not the 603bhp Merc claim.
Yeah that's true I'm hearing that the M2 competition package supposed to be 400 horsepower but it's been dynoed at 450 hp
I reviewed this car mate and it was giving around 630 to BHP and it was the standard not the competition
Good lie.keep lying on that subject bm
WAIT!!!...If Toyota has no android,the kids go crazy BUT this has no android play & yet some on here want to wait til it’s 10 years old when they can afford it to buy it?...Odd
One of the best overall reviews of M5 F90 I have seen around! Ways to go Alex
That inconveniently located stop light!
When the light is red who is it giving way too, its just a straight road smh
@Alumnikiid One side of the road is closed due to construction. Everyone just likes complaining smh.
i bet with slight intake work and a tune, you'll be walking 720s'
0:45 Five seats in the back? Holy shit! Pocket dimension confirmed.
If so, BMW has just created a new category: the CarSUV...or perhaps just a really wide bench seat...could be a hoot when you visualize it...
I was thinking the same thing lmao
What kinda shit is holy?
With the $130,000 price tag, I would expect the car to be equipped with ejection seats :-)
for that price I would like a remote start like the Cadillac to be able to start my car from inside my home or work or cold or hot days.
I will wait 3 to 4 years and then I will pick up one of this baby probably in the $30k to $40k range : )
You'll be surprised to find out to that they do have very good resale value especially the competition package.
kempowarrior keep dreaming. The BMW & Merc won’t be that price in 3-4 years.
BMW M5 for 30k LMFAOOOO how dumb can one get. This car $100,000 at the LEAST, RIGHT NOW.
kempowarrior what are u smoking lmao, it’ll be in the high 60’s for a clean title
You can buy mine after 3 years of me driving the F out it.
The cars today compared to 10 years ago, just wow. I had a 2002 BMW M3 with 333 HP. That was huge power back then, and it did 0-60 in 4.7. We have come a long long way.
The only year of this car I would own Alex.
Great review! I
Even though my white 18 AMG E63 S wagon was wonderful in many aspects. The roughness in low speed and too firm air suspension in daily drive made me committed to exchange for my new ride.........fully loaded M5 a week ago. Even it is just a regular m5, I indeed do feel the she is hair faster in acceleration (3.12 for 0-60 with the wagon). 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.......:)
“Rational human being” lmfao
waiting on the next gen Audi super sedans the S6 S8+ RS7+.....the super sedan wars are back....man BMW went all in on this
What about panamera? I'll get sport turismo if I had the money.
HURRAY ! NO MORE DCT ! Too bad for the manual going away too.
AWD . . . now you can drive your M5 come hail or high tide.
I have zero attraction to this video game car. Way too many driving electronics . Speed is not everything. I find the Lexus GS F far more appealing. CTS V is a very close second. All about driving feel and engine sound
too bad driving feel is just about all the lexus is good at.i think people overlook the ats v's…
+Blake Swan the GS F is an awesome car, and it will almost certainly last longer and require far less maintenance. However, the GS F is nowhere near the M5 in terms of performance. The GS F does 0-60 in 4.5, while the M5 does it in 2.8. You really can't fairly compare the two.
If I have money to buy two cars out of the 3, I would get two M5s :)
I bought it bc of all wheel drive.
Doesn’t the Charger Hellcat compete with the M5, even though it’s not a luxury sedan and the interior isn’t as refined as the Germans? The hellcat is insanely powerful w 700hp, and the same ZF 8 speed as the m5. Yes it lacks AWD, but for a RWD only sedan, 0-60 times are very close to the m5, and the biggest ace for the dodge: it’s half the price.
M5 will be the perfect daily driver
M5 definitely no doubt .... It is more advance than the two, etc you can actually use gesture control for commands and gesture control to drag and move the cameras around the car and also I love the upgraded touch screen key fob that you can achieve data and have control of the vehicle. BMW is the first to innovate the I DRIVE control which is the best in the market today. And there is a lot more technology that I can’t go into right now. The M5 is more of a driver car its more controllable and compare to the amg (where the gear lever is on the steering wheel) the M5 is right were you need it to be. Overall the M5 is the fastest (not to mention the competition package), it is more comfortable and have more styling and also you have more options to choose from. M5 is like having 2 cars in 1 you can take it on the track or you can drive normally with your family inside very comfortable, this is why the BMW M5 IS TRULY THE ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE.
Absolutely 💯
Per your request, since there is no outstanding difference among the three, I would opt for the CTS-V. Caddy has come a long way. It is engaging, handles superbly and it is lower cost. The acceleration negative isn't a major negative. And, in base trim, it is superior and substantially lower cost. Caddy is flying under the radar for too long. I would go with the CTS-V.
720s would get my money every single time, or a used gtr for half the cost. 720 for a full on super car Gt-r for something I woulddnt kill myself in.
the trunk space was always designed to easily take golf bags in and out, paperwork with diagrams will show the customer how to store 2 golf bags in the trunk space.
Random goddamn stop light at around 16:00. WTF was that lol.
to me the 2019 BMW M5 is the best especially with the AWD.
I totally agree. Any of the internet idiots who think this new M5 with AWD is not a typical M car is right. Its not a typical M car, its much better. Anyone who knows about cars knows that a powerful car like the M5 will perform better, especially sharp corners at high speed with an AWD system. Plus BMW was smart enough to give you the option to turn off the AWD system and just have rear wheel drive if you want to do burnouts or racing on a drag strip. But if you want to take the M5 on a twisty track, make sure you have the AWD system on
The worst thing about owning an F90 M5 is not being able to test it's limits on a daily basis. 🙄
The steering wheel is so ugly compared to the Benz. Would love to see the AMG E63 S sedan or the new A6/7/8.
E39 M5s will always be the greatest. Closest thing to a perfect car and done without 70 million computers, crappy iDrive, forced induction, and any other unnecessary things added on to all these new vehicles. Best M5??? Really, with an auto trans??? Get the hell outta here!🤣
Have you actually driven the Mercedes? Because I was trying to find a review of it on your channel and I can't find it.
We have not had it long enough to film a complete review but we have been lent it for a few hours and I have a close friend with one that I have driven. Mercedes is trying to get us one for a full review in the coming months.
You left off the number one competitor to M5. Porsche Panamera Turbo would be superior in every way.
This is one of the best review I have ever seen!
Alex is always on point for me.
Unless the transmission in the E63 is catastrophically bad, the E63 seems to be the best overall.
New M550 has 523 HP for 45k less! Is this really worth it for 80 mor HP?
The CC brakes would be a huge mistake for non track drivers. Unless you hammer them they start squeaking enough to drive you insane.
And you'll need to refinance your house if you ever have to replace them.
😂😂😂😂😂
M5 vs Charger Hellcat? Worth spending extra to get the m5? What’s the delta?
I guarantee you will have more fun more of the time in a $5000 first generation Miata. You don't need 600+ HP, AWD, or a 6-figure MSRP to have fun. This is not an M car. This is a luxury barge with more power than makes sense. BMW V8s are not their most reliable engines already, and you want to pile on the turbo boost? Have fun with that!
Jeez Alex, strong review... Going to be a 2019 buyer in 2022 off lease cars.. thanks for the cheap T-shirts too.. saw a couple in Seattle. They have these AA meetings everywhere. Stopped in nobody knew you. That's good I guess..
AN excellent and comprehensive analysis and narrative. However, I would have liked to have seen how the trunk was finished under the center mat. I think you should have mentioned that instead of 8 user programmable short cut buttons like on immediately previous generations, there are now only 7. Did this not have the heads up display? Also, is this the iDrive7 or still the iDrive6?
Keep going as the graphics, if not the video jump cuts, are first rate and informative.
I cannot find your review on the E63S through TH-cam search. I was interested because most reviewers have noted the ride in that car is rougher and not as serene as the M5 in comfort mode. Also, the tank capacity of each would be helpful as multiplied by MPG yields a refueling frequency datum.
the BMW, best combination of luxury, brute strength & price...the goldilocks of the bunch for sure! thanks for helping with my choice!
M5 of course..
No Contest here Alex! You get a Much bigger interior in the Impala and it will still get you to and from point A and B for a Mere Fraction of the cost of one of these 3. You can ALL thank me later for saving you all a ton of money. ;)
I own a CTS-V so I’m biased, but I would definitely go with the M5 otherwise. I just can’t get over the boring sameness of Mercedes design lately.
I'm with you. I'm 50/50 on the Bummer and the Merc... If we included the AMG E63S Wagon, that would probably get my pick
Cadillac all the way for me. It's simply more fun to drive, and that's what driving is all about. Most of the modern BMWs leave me cold, they are simply too "robotic", as Alex says, to drive.
Purchase all of those options used and/or CPO (~2 years old). Save 30-50%. Plus extended warranty is included w/ CPO.
Have the '17 CTS V. Love it (style / price / handling). If I had the money for a second, probably go with the Merc (interior / engine sound / similar acceleration to BMW). BMW is a little too stealthy.
The main dilemma to me,,is this car can be considered as a daily driver car!?
Can't fix a transmission. The CTS V interior looks cheaper and not well done. I'd go with the M5 or 2 G90s.
Kind of sad Alex doesn’t have an review on the CTS V Cadillac. The King of Luxury supersedans. Up until recently as far as lap times go. Still a great car.
Great Review and could not agree with you more about all the "purist" attitudes. Of course this is personal to each individual. Why would I want 2 wheel drive if it gives me slower 0 to 60 times again personal. But "purists" dont knock those who like it this way.
great review Alex, thank you
The way you sit is the right way for comfort and safety. Not like these ghetto people out there with their seat laying back down like they sleeping. And if they in a accident they dead.
I'd get the E63. I like the styling and I like Mercedes as a brand more.
I love the no-moonroof option. I never use my car's moonroof, and I end up paying for it.
bird271828 never?!
I'm taking the E63 because of that Brutal exhaust Note and interior.
Lilrick96 the BMW interior is better, the tech is better, the infotainment system is better , the car handles better, rides better and it’s quicker. An aftermarket exhaust can release a great sound that BMW DELIBERATELY muted because the car isn’t a hotrod for childish AMG type buyers.
@@stubones yeah see, don't push your biased subjective ass opinion on me and then talk about "childish" AMG customers. Lord help me kid. I'm taking the E63 interior over the M5 anyday of the week, I'm taking THE stock BRUTAL sound on the AMG or I can add the performance exhaust because why wouldn't I want that on my 600 plus hp beast and have it sound muted and weak like the M5? Tech in terms of what? The gesture controls? I'm good, BMW doesn't even offer Android auto. I'll give you Idrive is overall better but MB infotainment looks better and idc about handling and who's quicker because both will crush any car that isn't a super car. So I'm taking the E63s
BMW deliberately don't offer Android Auto, but if you did your research you'd know that and their reasons for it. Everything I wrote is the general consensus after dozens of reviews, the gesture control is an option (no one holds a gun to a buyers head), Merc have to two stretched tablets glued to the dash, which is a bit hit and miss in terms of looks. BMW is focused, the controls are better, the ergonomics are better, the build quality is better (also the general consensus). As for the exhaust note, buying a $130k car for it's exhaust note is juvenile and the M5 is deliberately not "shouty" because it's a car aimed at executives not 25 year old youtubers. You can "get" your flawed E63S and if I really wanted to I'd out an Akrapovic exhaust on my M5 and it would sound brutal and then I'd have it all LOL. Fun fact though, neither you or I can afford these cars so it really doesn't matter. LOL Lord help you indeed. BTW I'd love to own a E63S, but if I had the money I'd choose the M5 Competition Pack. There is simply no competition to it.
@@stubones lls im well aware that neither you and I can't afford these cars, but for ME and MY preference and the fact that I work around BMWs on a everyday basis, I can tell you what I MYSELF like and dislike more between the E63 and M5. So if I want a car that has a much better exhaust note, especially a High priced Luxury SPORTS sedan with a powerful V8, I want it to sound menacing and incredible from the factory, for MY pleasure. And if it's seem "Juvenile", then BMW should "deliberately" not make Sports cars because who ever would drive so sporty in their "EXECUTIVE" vehicles are childish and not "worthy" with adolescent mindset on going fast etc. Spare me with the pro BMW talk, I hear that crap enough from the salesman.
I would take the E63 as well. The M5 just does not stand out compared to the M550i series and it looks identical to the old M5 in a way. Unlike the old E63 and new E63 are completely different cars both interior and exterior.
The 95ft braking distance you quoted was that with ceramics or standard brakes? Thanks
M5 because I love the styling of the BMW and it’s not overly done I like styling to be conservative
This great video could only be improved by a segment featuring Alex as he jumps in the trunk.
M5 is the top choice. In the case of two out of three then BMW and the Caddy. Why? Because the sound of the supercharger is simply unique and the drivability of this thing is something extraordinary.
Dude I have never seen you so excited at the beginning of the video especially. No question I would go M5 all the way. I would not put up with a sucky transmission at this price point and M5 is just hot.
Nice car but the carbon fiber always looks cheaper than other finishes.
Love your videos but they are missing one thing ... a 0-60 run
Siberian Tiger in sheep’s clothing.
Do they build one for vegans?
there is no way. i will never race in M5, even though it is capable i will never try it. i will rather use it for my family rather the drag racing like race driver
I like knowing what the car is thinking, it would be a great addition to future videos.
Sickening to hear a Bimmer fanboi. Hate MBZ much?
If this truly makes 0-60 in 2.8/2.9 then I'd prefer it to the 'Godzilla' any day any time.
Confirmed; it does (well, the Competition does so the non might be a tick behind but still under 3).
Great review 👍🏽 😊 one of the best car channels on TH-cam 😊
Nice review and car, I love the F90 M5 it is a masterpiece
Best one in a few years. Worth every penny if you can AFFORD it.
Definitely agree when your end note on the top 2 to choose. Between those 2 it's very difficult. I suspect AMG to fix the transmission for the facelift E-Class for next year. Let's hope!
I've never read of or heard of a single complaint relating to the E63S transmission in any of the dozens of reviews I've seen until it was mentioned in this video.
@@stubones maybe I put too much trust with Alex, but I usually trust his reviews. AMG isn't known for the best transmission, that'll go to Porsche's PDK, but their engines are insane. The closest thing I got to an "AMG" would be a GLE43 AMG loaner I had a few months ago which I thought shifted swiftly and smoothly.
I think too many reviewers are awed by the performance and forgiving of the transmission. Owners I know have been much more critical...
Alex you are an amazing car reviewer. Kudos and respect.
It would be cool if you test the Alpina B5.
Finally! :)
I wonder who is Alex's 6'5" passenger. Alex in cowboy boots?
Yeehaw
m car best sports car all time
I don’t like this rube
5 Seats in the back O.o sounds cramped
This car is insane... It's just insane. And I love it.
The color on your shirt matched the two cars that you picked.
i really like M5 Lego on the driver and passenger seat the light up at night
or if you just want to spin into a tree HAHAHA
Way too docile looking
M5. Not even close.
BMW all around super sedan.4me
2.8 🤔
Come on dawg
Agreed. I've never heard of anyone getting a real world 2.8s 0-60 (without rollout which is a cheat). 3 to 3.1s has been achieved and recorded. Even a M5 that had a remap to in excess of 700hp "only" achieved a 2.9s 0-60. To set the record straight on the 720S they have been recorded to 60 in 2.5s (no rollout).
Car And Driver has also clocked a 2.8 with this new model. Our times are with rollout. I understand why some folks dislike the rollout method, however that is the most common way of describing 0-60 times. In our test of the 720S (video coming soon) traction is an issue and our best times were in the 2.8-2.9 second range with most runs being around 3.0
@@AAutoBuyersGuide with rollout 720 should hit 2.0 🤣
Our tests with the 720 *were* with rollout. The issue is traction. That's why the Jeep Trackhawk does so well despite it being a cupcake shy of 3 tons. If the 720 was on a perfect surface, it would beat the M5 every single time. But that's not reality. In the real world you'll be hard pressed to get to 60 faster than the M5. However, the 720 makes SO MUCH power that by the time the 1/4 mile happens it has absolutely smoked the BMW.
