The car is just so huge. You cannot tell on videos or pictures I saw one today and it is enormous.

[JohnSRR-lwbx]

No soft-close doors? No massaging seats? No more B&W Diamond surround sound system? No extended interior stitching? Less physical buttons? Way to go with the cost-savings BMW...

[Kudosfromamsterdam]

Gosh, it looks so cheap.. also, the illuminated kidney grill is a proof of poor taste. BMW has lost its appeal.

[yissibiiyte]

I honestly have nothing against the exterior design. But I have a lot against the interior of a 150k car being cheaper than a Dacia.

9:12 "I don't know what the interior designers were thinking"
There are no more interior designers anywhere to be found for modern German cars. Even before you opened the door, I knew it would be the same interior we've seen for the last couple of years: a thrown iPad in lieu of a proper dashboard, capacitive buttons, and scratch-prone and reflective piano black. Even if I could afford it, I wouldn't buy it. This is for people who buy BMWs as a status symbol. The illuminated grille is tasteless.
Also from your conclusion: the M5 is not for M fans. Nice.

[emirtrbic]

For the next gen M5 we all need truck driving licence😂

[imisspoke]

Why is it so polarizing? Couple ideas:

1. The butt-ugly design
2. It's made of plastic
3. Feels like sitting in appliance
4. Heavy as hell
5. #capacitiveBS

[planetfabulous]

Thomas always looks so classy. His fashion sense is top notch!

[TheRealYaro]

“Hey honey! Our favorite German posted a new video!” Thanks Thomas! Btw, would love to have the M5 Touring here in the USA!

[JKFNY]

Former M5 LCI F90 owner, and test drove the G90 the other day, and came in with low expectations, but I was blown away by the G90 in every aspect.

Felt incredibly more responsive with the electric assist and just as fast if not faster. The interior was leagues better than the F90, and obviously much more modern. Also, the car looked MUCH better in person than all the reviews and videos I’ve seen beforehand.

And yes, you can feel the extra mass to a degree, but it was incredible how the suspension allowed a car that heavy to feel as nimble and acrobatic as it did.

Losing the soft close doors, massaging seats, and extended leather sucks. But the car still felt great overall and just about better than the F90 in almost every way.

I think anyone who sees it in person and has the opportunity to take it for an extended drive, will come away pretty impressed.

[alexnekrasov]

Honestly, it is the first 5-series I don’t even want to sit inside. Time to buy relatively fresh F90 and wait for the rain to stop.

[jeremyrobson]

Best M5 review I have watched so far, Thomas. Very balanced, objective, super informative and insightful. Thank you! I have owned many M5s since the a E39 in 1999 as well as a few 750i. Based on your review, I expect that I will like the combination of high performance, comfort and great handling offered by the new M5 - at 56yrs old I no longer want a purist M-car! My current daily is RS6 Performance and I am keen to see if a test drive will tempt me out of the Audi into the M5. Thanks again fora great review. Am a fan of your work. 👍

[steadybreeze]

Great review with Lea .. make a great team

[carmichaelree]

Your English is better than most native English speakers. The example of "sportier and sportiest" was great.

[jeebus]

My boy is out there pimpin' with that coat. Very nice.

[johnssmith]

Porsche is the only German car company that still makes beautiful cars

[Giancarlo-jlcz]

La miglior recensione di una autovettura così complessa. Una sintesi perfetta!

[auchendolly]

Dear Thomas, ❤❤ I always thought Joe Achiles did the best BMW reviews. But you my friend nailed it . I a, so happy that you say it is more comfortable you have. A way about you in describing this car with passion respect and age ❤
