Why is EVERYONE hating on the NEW BMW M5

Change your cars and truck with :

The time has come for Mat to examine the brand new !

Now it's fair to say that the has had a fair little bit of criticism tossed its method considering that it was unveiled back in June, however is everything justified? Mat's ready to take a closer look and learn.

Beginning with the style, there's no denying that it has a quite aggressive look to it. There's a big front bumper that includes enormous air intakes, while there's also a large blacked-out M grille which can even light up in the evening! Along the side, there are side skirts and M side mirrors, while at the back there's an insane diffuser-styled bumper, coupled with quad tailpipes! It's even possible to add a carbon fibre roof too.

Step inside and you'll find a traditional M interior, with a big diving digital dial and infotainment screen. There are loads of M touches also, including the M steering wheel, M sports seats, and even M pedals! There's great deals of soft-touch material throughout, and a great deal of M performance concealed in the infotainment system.

Under the bonnet, the is still powered by a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8. Nevertheless, it's now also a hybrid, so when the engine and electric motor combine it produces 727hp and 1,000 Nm of torque! However of course, the hybrid system enormously adds to the weight, with the M5 clocking in at 2,435 kg!

All in, the brand-new M5 costs from around ₤ 111,000. So is it worth it ?! You'll need to stick with Mat to see for yourself!

    The M5 Competition F90 achieved a 0-60 mph time of 2.9 seconds and a 1/4-mile time of 10.9 seconds. In comparison, the new M5 G90 clocks in at 3.5 seconds for 0-60 mph and 11.3 seconds for the 1/4-mile. This performance gap is the primary reason many people are disappointed with the new M5 G90.

      ​@vishrudh8285 So far, I haven’t come across any reliable sources confirming that a Competition version will be released. I doubt one will be introduced. Adding more power would require a larger battery, which is costly and takes up additional space. Moreover, increasing the V8’s output is unlikely due to EU7 environmental emission regulations.

      And the “old” M5 weighed 1.9 tons. This weighs close to 600 kg more….

      That’s just stupid.

      We’re now at a point where a full electric equivalent is lighter than this…

      Why pay a stupid amount of money for this with piss poor sound (you can barely hear the V8) and a cumbersome hybrid system when you can pay the same amount of money for a MUCH faster and lighter electric car?

      This or an Audi RS E Tron GT?
      2450 kg vs 2350 kg?
      780 hp or 925 hp?
      0-60 in 3.4 seconds or 2.5 seconds?
      1/4 mile in 11.3 seconds or 9.9 seconds?

      Why would anyone still buy this overpriced, overweight piece of scrap metal?

    Mat basically said: the new M5 is ugly, doesn’t handle that well(possibly the worst thing to say for a new M car), expensive, and rather cheap feeling inside. So no high points in the important areas for this class of car.

    Before watching the video i want to answer the title of the video
    1. It’s heavy af
    2. It’s hybrid
    3. It looks like a car from GTA that tries to imitate a BMW

    Yes its fast, yes its powerful, yes it would smoke most production 4 door sedans. But speed and power isn’t everything. The Tesla Plaid would smoke just about any other production ICE car, but a lot of car enthusiasts would prefer an ICE car regardless of how much slower it is

    1. @NamesAreRandom Avatar
      @NamesAreRandom

      Honestly if you want an ICE car then the massive benefit is weight as light weight makes for fun handling. Even the old M5 would cost a fortune to track yet is far to fast to drive aggressively on a public road, you want something smaller. For the cost of this you could afford your Tesla for the road (much much cheaper to run, faster in a straight line) and something like a Yaris GR to throw around at the weekends (cheap to run on a track, and massive fun).

      @@kronik9317in my defense, I hate those too. I get it if it’s a supercar. At the crazy price point I expect it to be expensive to repair or maintain, but the M5 will historically depreciate to a point that I can afford it, and if battery or motor replacement is added to the equation, I now can’t.

      True. But it’s hate for nothing!

      All those petrol–engines will be gone sooner or later? In 10–15 years? A V8? You can search for them in museums!

      Give Tesla and Co. another ten years, i mean electric cars are bloody young and they smoke and outperform almost everything, another ten years of evolution and nobody will talk about ICE cars again. A dying technology.

      You don’t even need the Plaid! The S Performance smoked the 720HP RS6 from my friend easily, and the S Performance costs not even half the money of the RS. That are statements!

    My main gripes with this new M5 is the overtly angular and bulky bodywork, especially around the rear wheel arches. The front grill is hideous. It used to have a quality and proper design with vertical vanes and chrome outline. Now it is a couple of black Tupperware lids with holes cut in them. It looks cheap and unresolved. The weight is appalling. More mass, more weight, absurd power yet slower than previous generation. This is not a way forward for M cars nor any performance model.
