I can’t fathom how Marc manages to keep himself from saying “Let’s hit the road Jack” (instead of “Let’s get this car on the road, Jack” or so) every time. The willpower! Probably takes ice baths every morning and sleeps on a bamboo mat on a tiled floor or so.

It always kills me when reviewers talk about how the car needs to be more refined (i.e. needs to ride smoother because it’s too jarring) and so the manufacturer refines it to make it smoother and then the reviewer says it lacks soul because it’s too refined.

I love Savagegeese but all reviewers do it.

I love the tiny attention to detail such as the YouTube search bar on the Toyoda reference.

Jack loves eye contact when he’s speaking, which is generally a great thing.

But not when cornering at 90mph in a $120, 000 vehicle...

Killin me bro.

I don’t want drama or a car that beats me up on a daily commute or 500 mile family trip, But I guarantee that when driven the way the M5 is capable of being driven, it WILL put a smile on your face. It will also put a smile on your face just to look at it in your garage every night, knowing that you own it.

Cant believe I’m saying this, but this thing “only” weighs about 200lbs heavier than the e39 M5, and the CS is supposed to be about 300lbs lighter than the M5 Competition. Pretty impressive for this giant ass car.

I love the youtube search at 9:20. Awaiting results

[jamborossrs]

The M5 has always been the gentlemans sports car. It’s meant to be this way.

[jeremyjs]

Worth mentioning that the production quality of your videos has become outstanding

[hockeymann]

Sometimes at the end of a hard day you just want your car to pick you up and carry you down the road effortlessly and other times you want to smash everything across the intersection as you eventually make your way to a challenging mountain back road.
The " soul " thing can be a little over rated in real day to day driving.
This seems like a very very nice, do it all, executive daily.

Pre ordered rod bearings and 50 barrels of oil. Also imported my own German mechanic, bribed him with citizenship.

[joseacuna]

I have to say, this looks amazingly conservative

[jondellstephens]

So, what I gather from the final thoughts is that the car is so well sorted that there isn't enough drama in it for these guys. I own one and I don't disagree honestly. It's an excellent car but it isn't "an event to drive" like some others are. Personally, I'm so happy with it at my current stage in life and there isn't anything else in the segment I'd rather have. I think this review is nitpick, but accurate. Love the content!

The look on Mark's face at the price. 🤣 true Savage.

[PatrickLino]

3:19 I legit spat out my coffee hahaha thats why I love you guys.

I drove a previous version of the M5 competition and it was quite frankly just an amazing car for its size and power. I did not find uncomfortable on the substandard roads I found which I drove it. I did find the M2C a little too abrupt on those same roads and something I would probably not own is an everyday driver.

I find the breath of its performance envelope the most remarkable thing. Well one might say that it is still laser focused on one end or the other of the spectrum, it's still encompasses a wide variety everyday real world road traffic situations and it's performance envelope.

I did also drive and m340i with everything on at the same day. For half the price it had about 90% of the performance. But for interior room and luxury and upgraded materials, the M5 competition stood alone. It will be interesting when I get a chance to drive the current M3 competition and see how it matches up.

Thank you for the Bowers and Wilkins graph. You're the only guys who think audio performance is something worth measuring when one spend thousands of dollars on a car audio system.

I think this applies to previous M5s, but of course what was once comfortable and masked speed is now borderline visceral. IMO the goal of every M5 has been to go as fast as possible, as effortlessly as possible, so that the driver is not fatigued. You're tired after driving a sportscar fast for an hour. You can do multiple hours at triple digit speeds in one of these and feel good afterwards, without falling asleep like you would on an S class or a 7 series.

The front end on the M5 looks so good compared to the buck-tooth other ones! Well done BMW, the M5 is a really sharp looking car!

this might be the best front end from bmw in a minute
