2025 BMW M5

RoCars does a great job IMHO.

They're pretty damn good at capturing all the exterior and interior angles with sound clips too, without all the narration. Check out their videos here: https://www.youtube.com/@RoCarsTV

Watched to whole thing, nice!

Would like that ///M sticker for the controller on my G80.

NikMN · 06-27-2024, 07:23 PM

M stands for marketing. Wait a month and Amazon will have it

Got similar on mine years ago

The exhaust note definitely isn't what I'd consider to be inspiring.

For me the F10 is the last generation of the M5's that I would ever consider buying, again.

I loved my F10 and I really wanted to like the F90, to the point I have test-driven around 7 or 8 times over the years in several configurations. It's always the same story however, too uncomfortable for an executive saloon and too heavy for spirited driving or grand touring.

While the F10 did both its jobs(executive saloon and Grand Touring) in comfort and style, the F90 and this new version seem to have lost their way and are now being incapable of doing either job properly.

nerdogray · 06-28-2024, 09:15 AM

Definitely like the interior more than the exterior, but the exterior is a low bar. Very tepid. Both the lower rear, diffuser area and the front are just failures to me. Styling from the side isn't much better with the back looking "off." Very unaggressive and unremarkable overall, especially with the engine and exhaust. Wow. I had an Accord that sounded pretty similar on both. This is no longer an M car but in badging only. For the expected pricepoint, I would be better just committing to something entirely different and abandoning the past.

This is why I got one of the last m550s not great on handling but competent, everything else outstanding

Great choice.

That is the new M5 as far as I'm concerned. And also the car my best mate in the US recently bought based on my recommendation to avoid the new M5 and get the M550 instead.

I’m really happy with it, a great combination of performance and luxury. The BW sound system is superb.

Does the video include the acoustic pedestrian sound? Didn't hear but maybe missed it.

Is that a sticker? Or actually the logo inside the knob? From the picture, it looks like it is inside the crystal knob.

Makes sense if it is laser etched onto the knob, would definitely withstand the daily use much better.

The car looks fugly….. The lines are Uber modern and harsh
