Ben Barry, the most underrated auto journalist ever. Great video.

I tried using the M5 competition as a daily... I couldn’t, I just couldn’t!
Decided to upgrade to the current LCI M550i, same torque, and hp is indistinguishable!!! But I saved $40k!
I love my M550i. Happy BMW consumer here 😊

This is the best BMW at this point in time.It's just astonishing.Rocket of a car.

[THEDOPEYDAISY]

Definitely agree Ben been flying under the radar for years and he know how to really drive a car.

I’d so love to own one of these one day. My favourite ///M car apart from my M635CSi.

Can't help but acknowledge Mr. Barry on his M Sport-appropriate purple pullover. The M5 is overkill for a 2-ton passenger car but I can't fault BMW for flexing their Bavarian engineering biceps.

[philippebeinaerts]

Interesting to see how BMW came back from rock-hard riding M5s and M3s, this “extreme” CS being more comfortable than the outgoing Competition. Probably the right choice for most buyers since this isn’t really a track car

[waynemurray]

He just shakes the tail a little on a narrow road while calmly talking about where this car fits in the market...

BMW engineering + Toyota build quality = MODERN BMW

[Kelveron]

Really good review by Barry. I'm impressed! M5 CS is not bad either.

[tepes]

M3 is a good alternative, but it's not at the M5 level, especially if it's the CS model! 👊

[glenstarluvnzama]

The most powerful M car ever, the ultimate supper saloon, there's just no competition out there!

[Dicktrickle]

All you gotta do is look at the brakes you know this thing MOVES.

[Superduperloopo]

If I had the opportunity to do whatever at BMW, I would make a bigger differentiation between 550i and M5, with one little trick: use flatplane crank on the M5…higher revs/more hp…and get that motorsport feeling engine, and let the 550i be the torque monster

[peterbennpan]

Would love to have this to drive to the top of Scotland with the kids in the

[RAMD]

M3s are more like 85k after options .this m5 cs will be a classic in 25 years and will probably be worth a million

[pevvex]

If the price is only downsize it means this car is worth every penny in today’s world.

[semird]

I never was a BMW fanboy and I regard their community as the most toxic and annoying in the car world. I am a car nut and this is the perfect car, THE CAR and at this point my favorite thing that came out in this decade so far.

[jatinvk]

Wish they kept the amber DRL like in the initial teaser

[houlester]

Are those seats comfortable enough for a long trip or would you rather be in a regular M5?
