New BMW M5 2021 review: see how BONKERS quick it is to 60mph!

.............................................................

This is the updated BMW M5 Competition!

Now we all know that a new BMW M is going to be impressive, right? If you’re lucky enough to be in the market for one, then it’s almost guaranteed that power and performance are going to be exceptional. But then again, with the new M5 coming in at a starting price of £102,000, you’d expect it to be!!

So the question is, with this only being a mid-life facelift, should you really decide to go for an all-new M5 when it costs so much? Yes, it might be graced with a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 which can hit 60mph in 3.3 seconds, but is it worth it?

Well, it’s time to find out! Mat’s going to put this high-performance saloon through its paces, showing you what’s changed both inside & out, while also finding out whether it performs as well as BMW say it will!

But do you think it’s worth the cost? Let us know in the COMMENTS!

Hi Mat here. Do you agree with my verdict on this car? Let me know:

[autonewstv]

Looks like BMW has 2 designers.
One with common sense,
and one who designed the M3 and M4.

[berendverbeek]

2, 9 seconds in not optimal conditions. That’s impressive like really really impressive

[dmg]

Anyone here after they murdered 5 series design?

[amanjoshua]

Cars are temporary but Mat’s drip is forever 🥶🥶

[Bbillionaire.mindsett]

Is mat a road man now with his puffer designer jacket 😂😂

Matt's wife: "Have you unpacked the dishwasher yet?"

Matt: "That brings me on to 5 annoying things about my wife"

I recently got a run in one of these, they are insanely quick. As Matt says it’s almost too fast for a road car. The acceleration, grip and brutal gear changes are mind boggling.

Great review Matt 👍 I have a 2019 F90 M5 (non-comp) and I picked that over a comp car because it’s slightly softer on UK roads and I’m not a driving god and it is without doubt still an absolutely epic car. I’m not sure what the 0-60 of the ‘normal M5’ is but it’s quick. I saved £27, 000 off list and it’s s fully loaded with the adaptive cruise, massage seats, better lights etc etc. The LCi is no doubt a great car and probably a better car than mine but the pre-facelift is also epic and now a lot cheaper than a new M5 comp. If I were to be buying again - a) you can only get the comp car, you don’t have the choice of a normal softer car b) don’t buy a new one, get either a pre-reg new non-LCi or a used pre-facelift with low mileage. Regardless of the fact it’s no sports car, it’s still exciting to drive, I love the sound for the sports exhaust makes in Sports+ and handles very well for a 2T barge!

Oh damn an "Avoid" recommendation. That's rare.
