Joe getting to drive the new M5 before Matt on Carwow...impressive!

[Skyreem]

WTF??? Joe launching M cars now? This is the first channel I've seen driving the new M5 Hybrid.

[usman]

From an icon, to an appliance. It was a good run boys....

[alexluke]

F90 M5 CS just got even more interesting...a future classic 😎

[BIGGELATO]

In 10 years, these dailys will have 1000hp as standard, and likely all electric... I'd rather have a BMW with half the power, half the weight, and all the noise... This is getting ridiculous.

[Karamujdza]

Congrats on getting your boat-license 🚢🥳 this new M-Titanic is looking very nice!

[julianhawkins]

600kg that’s like putting 24 containers of 25 litres of water in your car, that’s absolutely bonkers. No wonder roads are getting wrecked.

[JoeAchilles]

Hope you enjoy this one guys, was a tricky few hours weather and filming wise 👊

[enekoprins]

Joe has the driving exclusive. Massive respect. It shows the relationship between Joe and BMW is really good. I subscribed to the channel because of his mainly BMW reviews.

2024 M5 Comp:
625 Horsepower (V8 engine)
750 Feet Pound of Torque
1, 865kg (4, 111 pounds)

2025 M5:
577 Horsepower (V8 S68 engine)
553 Feet Pound of Torque
192 Electric Power
202 Feet Pound of Torque from Electric
2, 435kg (5, 368 pounds)


The 2025 M5 is significantly heavier, for obvious reasons. Nevertheless, once you run out of your electric battery charge (25-mile range), you are left with only 577 V8 horsepower to push a 5, 368-pound car. What a disaster! And the rest, I am not sure where to go with it. What is up with not having a gear lever?

I don’t think BMW is listening to their customers and clients anymore. Every interview they feed us a bunch of BS and the interviewers are afraid to ask tough questions. The BMW may fool new buyers, but not the BMW enthusiasts and the people who are loyal to the brand. You can’t fool us.

Cheap plastic door panels, plastic carbon fiber-looking paddle shifts, and no carbon fiber steering. Yet, all of which is available on the M3 and M4 models.

The rear diffuser truly looks like an afterthought. And the front kidney grill is identical to the i5 M60. What is joke! And I am sure BMW has increased the price beyond any measure to match the rest of the model lineups.

The fact that the E60 M5 is the only 200+ mph till this day is amazinz

[adriaanserrao]

2.4 tons. Are they mad, that's 600kg more than the old one, this thing is going to be just as bad as the new c63. And the 0-100 isn't nearly low enough compared to the old one. This new car also doesn't look like a M5, it looks like a fatter 7 series but worse.

[paulhammal]

Looks great. 2.5 tons with over 1000nm torque. It’ll chew through tyres alright 😮

[jldp]

2.4mt is no joke...that is monolithic..the RS7 is a boat..this is the titanic..goodbye M5

[robelhabte]

Yes let's add a 60, 000 KG battery so we can add 7 miles of EV range....

[ScuderiaHD]

The front overhang looks massive, would think it’s a FWD platform

[Kelveron]

Joe Achilles, as ever not wasting any time brining us the first drive review! The inevitable added weight aside, excited to see how the new M5 performs in a full test.

[mattrogers]

I'm trying to embrace the new 5 series model and being an F90 M5 Comp owner I know things have to move on, however I just don't like it. There's no specific reason and I will probably grow into it (like the new fronts of the M3, etc), but for the moment I would rather spend my money on the F90. Speed and BHP isn't everything, and it sounds like the V8 engine in the new one has to rely on the electric motors to push it past the stock BHP of the F90 M5 Comp. The dash also looks very much like any other new model BMW (My son has a new 220i BMW and the dash is identical) so apart from the M1 and M2 buttons there's not much difference there either. So I'm glad they have bought out a new version M5 as it needs to have come, but disappointed with my initial thoughts. Oh, and where is the sound!?!? The only sound in the cabin I can hear sounds fake! Thanks for your video Joe, always very good and always very honest... 10/10 for the video, but probably a 2 or 3/10 for the car. Obviously this is my own opinion.

Anyone else see Darth Vader at the front under those studio lights...? Can't unsee it now 😂

[TommyLGarage]

Well my F90 M5 Comp LCI is looking better than ever! Zero want on this one.
