Thanks for watching. So what's faster in a Drag Race...a manual or an automatic Hellcat? You can watch that drag race here: czcams.com/video/dn7CK_jxV_U/video.html
Toyota4Life who would buy a 10k v10 m5? Its riddled with problems at that point and in general the car has too many issues. And it is justified imo. The m5 is built much much better than a hellcat and uses premium materials. Your username is toyota for life so i can see the confusion. Your idea of premium is a toyota with an L slapped on the front and a leather interior lol.
Roman, with all due respect, you’re wrong about it needing more horsepower. It’s quicker to 60 than your hellcat, and it could outclass the hellcat in EVERY way. Why would BMW give it 2-300 horsepower more when it does 60 in 2.8 seconds?
Got game I bet! I think the most I’ve felt is 300hp so 600hp already seems crazy, brushing it off like the engineers got it wrong and should added 200 more is just dumb. Also comparing to a hellcat is just dumb.
However it can fare much better on the track than people assume. Do your research vs commenting a repeaded opinion you know nothing about without factts.
Yes, that's exactly correct. But slower does not have to mean less fun. It is also about $30K cheaper and 13 miles an hour faster. FYI: New M5 Top 189 MPH. Hellcat Charger Top Speed 202 MPH.
That's the dumbest reply Roman. M5 is superior to the hellcat in every category. Roman thinks raw power is everything. Why are you even a journalist when you so biased for American cars? Why throw in top speed when you could never reach that top speed?
The second I saw his hands on the wheel I thought "this guy doesn't know what is he talking about in the track environment". You need +200hp more on a 600hp sedan? True that the M5 could use some weight reduction, rather than more power, but I am pretty sure that is has more to do with the driver than with the car,
when you started comparing this to a hellcat I thought your review was irrelevant. when you said it looked to subtle I was sure. The m5 should be subtle. That's always been the point.
In reality, to most people what matters is on street performance. I'm sure from a stop light this will murder the tire shredder hellcat. And let us not even think about rain or snow lmao
I feel bad for Nick having to deal with Roman in this one. It's clear he values specsheets and getting pinned to the back of your seat in a straight line above all else. In no ones mind does a hellcat, or demon, even belong in the same sentence as an M5 when comparing performance.
Matt France The Demon is way faster and cheaper...of course it belongs in the discussion. These new European cars aren't even hitting the power figures of the 2013 GT500 five years later...
Pill Cosby Sorry to say but you're just a plain fool bruh. How can you even put a dodge demon in the same class as a BMW M5 ? Going in a straight line is irrelevant, and even so the M5 has got supremacy over the demon at 2.8 0-60. Overall it all boils down to the engineering, quality, driving dynamics, and track performance of the machine..and we all know who holds that title as well the m5f90 the fastest 4-door saloon in the world
This guy can't even hold a steering wheel properly and he thinks he needs more than 600hp. LOL, hilarious. Not to mention he's american, so he's probably never driven faster than 100 mph on a public road, and can't legally drive anywhere that quickly ANYWAY.
I see the M5 as a large and powerful sedan. That is about it. If I wanted sport, I'd get the M3/4. If I just wanted luxury, 7 series. The M5 is the best option for those who want both... basically a GT car?
Only complaint is that Roman is trying to compare a drag car (Hellcat) to a track car (M5). Two very different cars with different buyers. Also, horsepower isnt everything. If you ever get a chance to drive the Alfa Romeo 4C, dont look at the spec sheets before you buy it. See if you are surprised afterwards
The Fast Lane Car true, but one was designed to be a track oriented car, luxury car, and way different price range. Three basic yet essential points that make them very different.
0-60 in 3.8s ? I can hardly believe that. Mat Watson from carwow did a test at the estoril with a Vbox and got a time of 3.1s 0-60 and 11.1s for the standing quarter.
Comparing hellcat with m5, holding steering wheel like that on the track, saying you want 200-300 hp more in 600 hp car, measuring 0-60 time with the SMARTPHONE.... XD c'mon guys! And very little useful info about the car itself...
Mark for shure. Who would leave it stock when there such a multitude of DINAN kits ? No one really. Unless they've accidently picked up a new BMW & are just not price sensitive. And wanted a sedan bigger than a 3 series. Yet smaller than the 7 series. Probably happens from time to time. They just arent "enthusiasts" per se?
techmaster777 again they both have low 11 sec quarter miles. After a quarter-mile you're bound to have to turn and that's where the BMW is going to win. I like both cars don't get me wrong it's just the BMW's different kind of car and the awd is going to be something were needing in our American front-engine cars to step up to the next level so they can use the power can you imagine a Hellcat or a Corvette ZR with all-wheel drive able to use all that horsepower all the time
2.8 to 60 tested that as fast the LAMBO Centenario, 10.9 quarter mile and 190 mph limited speed , make it rwd then its just standard M5 not the competition pack
BMW M I know, a lot of people really cannot recognize the fact this is just the stock, it aint even the cc pack and this be destroying the comp left right and center
A car doesn't have to be iconic to be highly desirable. BMW M5s have always been more restrained than their German counterparts. It's what I, and all true M5 lovers, appreciate about the car. The sound is terrific, handling is spot on, interior is classically luxurious and the exterior is properly shaped (from directly behind is looks aggressive). We really don't want the car trying to be somebody else's idea of what a luxury sport sedan "should be."
Roman- this car runs a 10.9sec 1/4 mile out of the box bone stock ....the fastest time any publication has gotten for a Hellcat Charger or Challenger is 11.2sec, so I’m not sure why you’re acting as if this car is a slouch in comparison.
Lol can't believe you would mention a hellcat in a M5 video, remotely different as mentioned by others. Its also faster in quarter mile, you are just focusing on the hp stats. You are better than that.
True that tho both on top, but have u been to car show with 2k all over the place is plus get some headers and x pipe aftermarket exhaust and It’ll sounds killer
Only problem with BMW M cars is that they NEVER look aggressive enough. Only about 2-3 years down the line (see M3 for example) is when they bring out competition packs, limited edition versions and face lift them. THEN they look like what they should have been at the launch.
I really hope you're being sarcastic. Nick Miles has been doing videos for TFL for a while now. Normally he covers news, but has done reviews and such.
This car is so much f*ing fun. I have it and I am totally in love with it. To criticize this car, makes no sense. The joy of driving this as an everyday car or even a non-commuter car is 100% true. BMW has created a gem and made sure everything was right about it.
People fail to realize that you can put a Hellcat in a 500hp mode which will help with traction on a track with turns. 500hp, street suspension, track transmission, street traction modes. Won’t beat an AWD M5 or E63 at the track but keep in mind the Hellcat is a $70k muscle car, the other two are sports sedans with base price of over a $100k and almost all of them will be ordered with an bunch of options by the dealers, to increase profit. Funny how you have to get a $4k package on an M5 to get cooled front seats and heated rear, but Charger Hellcat comes standard with those. But overall you pay a lot more to get a lot more features. Perfect car to lease while it has the warranty.
The Fast Lane Car the bmw is faster in a straight line and around a track. There's no question about it.However there in different prices ranges so it's difficult to compare. BUT the bmw is better in almost every segment.
I’ve seen so many other youtubers/journalists get anywhere from 2.8-3.1 were you at altitude? Does having another person in the car cost a second of acceleration?
Agree with you Nik, I'm so over piano black as well! I was at the Canadian International Auto Show last weekend and there was so much piano black in so many cars. Fingerprint and scratch magnet!
The M5 and hellcat are not even remotely comparable, this thing is by far a much better car in practically every aspect since this thing would eat a hellcat alive in the real world.
It'll never match the crazy V10 car for just sheer audacity and madness. If this M5 is to become an icon it must lose weight, lose complexity and be on the verge of killing its owner with impunity the second the traction control is turned off. This car is too safe, but no doubt it will break often so the experience will be almost complete.
Get a Dinan tune or something similar and the m5 is truly a beast. With that said M cars have never been about straigtline perforamce and aren't purchased for that reason.
Hellcat? C'mon man...that thing can get its butt kicked on a track by a bog standard Mustang GT from 3 years ago. There is no sense in comparing it to the M5 on any day of the week. If you want straight line performance...fine. But if you want an actual car that kicks all around butt, you get the M5.
i realy feel unlucky when i see someone with so little knowledge about cars driving that bad a new m5 and telling us it needs 200 more hp AND THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME IT DOUSNT ONLY POWER THE FRONT WHEELS (12:49) what a shame of motorjournalism!
why is it always a competition? its more about preference, all these cars have way more than enough speed any normal person will ever need. If you have the money, try them all and pick which one put the biggest smile on your face, speed isn't all that matter.
Can't believe how you can even compare this beautiful, german, high quality, perfectely well-balanced overall performance sedan to such a trash car as the hellcat. Such disrespect towards bmw. smh
No disrespect, first time watching your video's. This has to be the worst review ever of any performance car. You need 200 or 300 more horsepower on the track yet you haven't driven not 1 time to the limits of this car... Learn to drive.
It's what the M5 doesn't have that bothers me. No more stick shift, no more free-breathing engine, no more RWD. Basically, BMW did nothing right with the M5
This car is rated at 3.2 second for 0 to 60 and there is accurate recordings of 3.1s from other reviewers.. I don't know where you got the "This is 3.5 second car" part. But decent review regardless.
Don’t mention quad pipes because m5 has been quad since the e39, m550i xdrive would not differ much in style compared to the m5, with a tune the m550i will compete with e63 and m5.
Roman - while they are not direct competitors, did you prefer M5 or RS5. Assuming Audi launches an RS5 Sportback, my decision will be RS5 Sportback (and put $30k in my Audi maintenance/repairs fund), or M5... Living in New England, I'm hoping this new M-AWD is available on the next gen M3 (blasphemy, I know). A C63s with 4Matic-plus would be a very welcome option too...
I can drive a demon to work too, for 30K less. So I spend 100K on this M5 and am gonna get my ass kicked by a demon. The main problem is something else; I can just never race and claim the M5 is a luxury car.. When this M5 breaks, and it will as soon as the warranty expires, I'm gonna get hammered at the shop.
The fact that you think an M5 needs 900hp to be fun as well as the fact that you drive with your hands at 11 and 1 really makes me think you know nothing about cars and how speed means more than just raw power.
In the 2WD/RWD mode does it just move more or most of the torque to the rear wheels making it like a 20/80 split for example or does it truly becoming rear wheel drive?? If so that is amazing technology right there. But something tells me it probably just proved Most of the torque to the rear.
Thanks for watching. So what's faster in a Drag Race...a manual or an automatic Hellcat? You can watch that drag race here: czcams.com/video/dn7CK_jxV_U/video.html
The Fast Lane Car don’t u think the power is restricted stock. I’m sure u could get more horsepower by tuning the engine??? Do u agree???
An auto
The Fast Lane Car did you say no longer is it powering the front wheels??? 😂😂😂😂 I know It was a mistake but still funny
The m5 is faster than the hellcat so there is no need for 707hp Nick
The Fast Lane Car 66655
Hellcat and M5 buyers dont mix. The Hellcat is NOT a competitor to the M5. This is a premium product, the Dodge... is a Dodge.
stubones I have M3 and Challenger SRT. Dodge is one of the best cars I’ve ever owned. Can’t wait to upgrade to a Hellcat next month :))) I love Dodge
I love it when people use a luxury badge as a justification. Where I can get a used V10 M5 for 10 grand gtfo
@Toyota4Life
And yet not many people would buy a V10 M5 for 10k as it'll most likely be very expensive to mantain. gtfo
Toyota4Life who would buy a 10k v10 m5? Its riddled with problems at that point and in general the car has too many issues. And it is justified imo. The m5 is built much much better than a hellcat and uses premium materials. Your username is toyota for life so i can see the confusion. Your idea of premium is a toyota with an L slapped on the front and a leather interior lol.
stubones : M5 is for Seniors 😊 ..... Hellcat is the Best !!
Roman, with all due respect, you’re wrong about it needing more horsepower. It’s quicker to 60 than your hellcat, and it could outclass the hellcat in EVERY way. Why would BMW give it 2-300 horsepower more when it does 60 in 2.8 seconds?
Nope, the Hellcat is faster. 202 MPH vs 189 MPH for the M5.
It Will go faster If the limiter is removed, over 200 mph
Lol man what's with you and top speed..it's just plain comedy now smh
600HP..could use 200 more...you've lost touch with reality.
Nick Fekkes The guys is a complete idiot. A massive family sedan that hits 100kmph in 3 seconds flat.
TeacherToolkitDemo kmph? U high?
Medo Gabr kilometres per hour, kmph, km/h or kmh^-1 or i meant 100kMph which would be very fast. But u probably dont get that.
Nick Fekkes yea the car comes stock with 600 like most m owners if u tune the engine it’s a monster
Got game I bet! I think the most I’ve felt is 300hp so 600hp already seems crazy, brushing it off like the engineers got it wrong and should added 200 more is just dumb. Also comparing to a hellcat is just dumb.
Please don't embarass the legendary M5 by comparing to a dodge...that's just disrespectful.
It's not all about bhp. The hellcat is a one trick pony. The M5 is a different league.
That the dig on the hellcat.
However it can fare much better on the track than people assume. Do your research vs commenting a repeaded opinion you know nothing about without factts.
EXACTLY!
I'd compare the M5 with the P100D
0-60mph quicker than :
- Aventador
- 570s
- 488 GTB
- 812 Superfast
- GT3
- GT3 RS
- Agera
- Huayra
By the tail lights - I saw a lot of very late braking well into corners...a true sign of journalists on track.
so you're saying u want more horsepower cause of the hellcat but yet the hellcat is quite abit slower around any track or drag race.
Yes, that's exactly correct. But slower does not have to mean less fun. It is also about $30K cheaper and 13 miles an hour faster. FYI: New M5 Top 189 MPH. Hellcat Charger Top Speed 202 MPH.
That's the dumbest reply Roman. M5 is superior to the hellcat in every category. Roman thinks raw power is everything. Why are you even a journalist when you so biased for American cars?
Why throw in top speed when you could never reach that top speed?
private k relax lol
The Fast Lane Car i agree brother i like m5 but hellcat is hellcat way more fun
The Fast Lane Car Not comparable since the M5's top speed is limited. This car will do at least 205mph, like the similarly powered Alpina B5
The way he holds that wheel , and he wants 200hp more , hahaha !! :)
The second I saw his hands on the wheel I thought "this guy doesn't know what is he talking about in the track environment". You need +200hp more on a 600hp sedan? True that the M5 could use some weight reduction, rather than more power, but I am pretty sure that is has more to do with the driver than with the car,
Stop talking about the freaking hellcat. haha. hellcat is cool and impressive but ... yeah ... M5 is a little different market ?
Dude...don't compare m5 to hellcat. Nor their hp. Hellcat is considerably slower. Way too much power for those hind legs on the cat.
LeilaMurka Tell 'em...this beast in a wholee other league !
when you started comparing this to a hellcat I thought your review was irrelevant. when you said it looked to subtle I was sure. The m5 should be subtle. That's always been the point.
In reality, to most people what matters is on street performance. I'm sure from a stop light this will murder the tire shredder hellcat. And let us not even think about rain or snow lmao
Emilthehun Only until 60 mph then hellcat walks it
techmaster777 I'm not so sure. On the street from a dig the BMW would be gone. I'm talking about stop light. Not a prepped street race lmao
Just try avoiding Hellcats on the freeway lol
Nick O hahaha truth!
I think most people just wanna get to work. 😂
I feel bad for Nick having to deal with Roman in this one. It's clear he values specsheets and getting pinned to the back of your seat in a straight line above all else. In no ones mind does a hellcat, or demon, even belong in the same sentence as an M5 when comparing performance.
Matt France Agreed
Matt France The Demon is way faster and cheaper...of course it belongs in the discussion. These new European cars aren't even hitting the power figures of the 2013 GT500 five years later...
Pill Cosby Sorry to say but you're just a plain fool bruh. How can you even put a dodge demon in the same class as a BMW M5 ?

DeeJay beat me to it
Great car but it still doesn't have that epic V10 soundtrack from the E60 :-(
This guy can't even hold a steering wheel properly and he thinks he needs more than 600hp. LOL, hilarious. Not to mention he's american, so he's probably never driven faster than 100 mph on a public road, and can't legally drive anywhere that quickly ANYWAY.

If you ever get a chance to drive the Alfa Romeo 4C, dont look at the spec sheets before you buy it. See if you are surprised afterwards
A Hellcat Charger is a full-sized four door sedan just like the M5
The Fast Lane Car true, but one was designed to be a track oriented car, luxury car, and way different price range. Three basic yet essential points that make them very different.
The hellcat will loose to the M5 in a drag too , !!! Facts
Jesse Hernandez you are real men
The Fast Lane Car ahhhh
0-60 in 3.8s ? I can hardly believe that. Mat Watson from carwow did a test at the estoril with a Vbox and got a time of 3.1s 0-60 and 11.1s for the standing quarter.
You don't need a lot of horsepower to have fun. Jeez these hp hungry crowd is annoying.
Double JJ Facts..they just narrow minded and lack the ability to see the truth..see the light
Double JJ thank you , thank you
This car will rip 0-60 in 2.8 and run a 10.9@129 . Hellcat can't touch this M5.
supercarkid Charger Hellcat runs 11.0 at 130 with factory summer tires, 10.8 with drag radials
In real world hellcat can’t touch this, try launching a 700hp rwd car on regular road, vs awd.
False it runs 11.9 which is slow for 600 HP
Berkeclor92 false, check carandriver, they got 10.9 @ 129mph,
Berkeclor92 slowest m5 is 11.1 @127mph tested by motortrend, it’s still faster than any hellcat with street tires with over 700hp.
Comparing hellcat with m5, holding steering wheel like that on the track, saying you want 200-300 hp more in 600 hp car, measuring 0-60 time with the SMARTPHONE.... XD c'mon guys! And very little useful info about the car itself...
Apples and oranges TFL. Apples and oranges. Thanks for revving up the comment section though!👍
It's m much faster than a Hellcat these people are not intelligent
Mark for shure. Who would leave it stock when there such a multitude of DINAN kits ? No one really. Unless they've accidently picked up a new BMW & are just not price sensitive. And wanted a sedan bigger than a 3 series. Yet smaller than the 7 series. Probably happens from time to time. They just arent "enthusiasts" per se?
Mark not true :/
Mark these guys don't know the hellcat has a 0-60 time of 3.6 sec
stlgodfather It’s what’s after 60 that matters.
techmaster777 again they both have low 11 sec quarter miles. After a quarter-mile you're bound to have to turn and that's where the BMW is going to win. I like both cars don't get me wrong it's just the BMW's different kind of car and the awd is going to be something were needing in our American front-engine cars to step up to the next level so they can use the power can you imagine a Hellcat or a Corvette ZR with all-wheel drive able to use all that horsepower all the time
2.8 to 60 tested that as fast the LAMBO Centenario, 10.9 quarter mile and 190 mph limited speed , make it rwd then its just standard M5 not the competition pack
BMW M I know, a lot of people really cannot recognize the fact this is just the stock, it aint even the cc pack and this be destroying the comp left right and center
Exactly
10.9 to 125mph
A car doesn't have to be iconic to be highly desirable. BMW M5s have always been more restrained than their German counterparts. It's what I, and all true M5 lovers, appreciate about the car. The sound is terrific, handling is spot on, interior is classically luxurious and the exterior is properly shaped (from directly behind is looks aggressive). We really don't want the car trying to be somebody else's idea of what a luxury sport sedan "should be."
Roman- this car runs a 10.9sec 1/4 mile out of the box bone stock ....the fastest time any publication has gotten for a Hellcat Charger or Challenger is 11.2sec, so I’m not sure why you’re acting as if this car is a slouch in comparison.
12:49 since when were bmw’s front wheel drive? Ahahhhahahaha
Lol can't believe you would mention a hellcat in a M5 video, remotely different as mentioned by others. Its also faster in quarter mile, you are just focusing on the hp stats. You are better than that.
Def better than a hellcat
jiez 5280 But 30k...more !!!
jiez 5280 doesn't sound better and doesn't look better then the hellcat.
True that tho both on top, but have u been to car show with 2k all over the place is plus get some headers and x pipe aftermarket exhaust and It’ll sounds killer
Toyota4Life m5 looks way better imo. It's faster in a straight line and around a track. More luxurious. Beats the hellcat in almost every category
Saqib Rahman you right 👍👍👍
There should be an M5 GTS with 700+ horsepower.
Only problem with BMW M cars is that they NEVER look aggressive enough. Only about 2-3 years down the line (see M3 for example) is when they bring out competition packs, limited edition versions and face lift them. THEN they look like what they should have been at the launch.
I love this new guy Nick - he adds a lot to the channel !
I really hope you're being sarcastic. Nick Miles has been doing videos for TFL for a while now. Normally he covers news, but has done reviews and such.
This car is so much f*ing fun. I have it and I am totally in love with it. To criticize this car, makes no sense. The joy of driving this as an everyday car or even a non-commuter car is 100% true. BMW has created a gem and made sure everything was right about it.
That beast sounds AMAZING! 😎
MJ Zoom And it aint speakers this is naturally engineered bruh ..music to one's ear is what it is really
Compares an M5 to a Hellcat while driving on a track... scratches head & wonders if he has ever tracked a hellcat...
If you have a mullet then you will think the Hellcat is better. Everyone else will go for the M5.
200hp more? This car just dynoed at around 690 crank.
This review definitely shows that Roman isn’t familiar with BMW’s. A lot of the features he mentioned was in the last generation M5.
People fail to realize that you can put a Hellcat in a 500hp mode which will help with traction on a track with turns. 500hp, street suspension, track transmission, street traction modes. Won’t beat an AWD M5 or E63 at the track but keep in mind the Hellcat is a $70k muscle car, the other two are sports sedans with base price of over a $100k and almost all of them will be ordered with an bunch of options by the dealers, to increase profit. Funny how you have to get a $4k package on an M5 to get cooled front seats and heated rear, but Charger Hellcat comes standard with those. But overall you pay a lot more to get a lot more features. Perfect car to lease while it has the warranty.
They really should have given a 100,000 sports car a better look than a family sedan costing half as much!
Wait and check the people like Dinan and Alpina, I'm sure they will come out with something special.
Don’t you guys wish that the M2 would be 500 hp, and the M4 coupe be 600 hp that would be a awesome. But I know it’s a pipe dream. 😂🔥
Don't ever compare a dodge and a BMW. There in different leagues unfair comparison
Both are 4 door full-sized sedans but the Hellcat has 107 more HP. Your right that’s not fair to compare it to the slower BMW.
The Fast Lane Car the bmw is faster in a straight line and around a track. There's no question about it.However there in different prices ranges so it's difficult to compare. BUT the bmw is better in almost every segment.
The Fast Lane Car also horsepower and speed don't have a direct correlation. The bmw is faster with less horsepower .
The Fast Lane Car that's actually ignorant of you to say that...
I’ve seen so many other youtubers/journalists get anywhere from 2.8-3.1 were you at altitude? Does having another person in the car cost a second of acceleration?
Hellcat is a piece of shit compared to the m5. This is a real car
It would be nice to have a drag race between the hellcat and de M5
An M5 with 800-900 horsepower ain't happening buddy
Roman needs a bit of dental hygiene
"hellcat hellcat hellcat' omg such an american I'm going to throw up.
“Like we said, it is no longer power just the *front wheels* only, it powers all four!” Wait. So the last M5 was *front wheel drive* ?
SpencerMC Gaming says a lot about what he knows about cars
Driving at 11 and 1 like a grandma
0:38
Talks about M3..
Shows a 340 with M Performance parts.....
SMDH
This m5 is legendary. you can finally take your rwd bmw to the snow without slipping everywhere 👌
Agree with you Nik, I'm so over piano black as well! I was at the Canadian International Auto Show last weekend and there was so much piano black in so many cars. Fingerprint and scratch magnet!
It's so weird that you say you're in over your head with the car and your heart was pounding when driving it.....yet you want 200 more hp?
If the M5 only cost 30K more than the Hellcat, it would make this the value of the century!
You’re were seriously comparing a Hell at to the M5?? How do you think the Hellcat would have handled the track...?
THATS FASTER THAN ANY HELLCAT LUL IN EVERYWay
The engineers at BMW need to make the M5 be able to beat the Audi S8 in terms of performance.
The M5 and hellcat are not even remotely comparable, this thing is by far a much better car in practically every aspect since this thing would eat a hellcat alive in the real world.
I'd be curious to see Dyno plots of 4wd vs 2wd.
I wish the rear fenders were flared out -similar to the m3...
It'll never match the crazy V10 car for just sheer audacity and madness. If this M5 is to become an icon it must lose weight, lose complexity and be on the verge of killing its owner with impunity the second the traction control is turned off. This car is too safe, but no doubt it will break often so the experience will be almost complete.
Get a Dinan tune or something similar and the m5 is truly a beast. With that said M cars have never been about straigtline perforamce and aren't purchased for that reason.
Last M5 ever made
Car journalist driving M5 on circuite in Auto mode and hands in 10-2 position. Why are you there?
Hellcat? C'mon man...that thing can get its butt kicked on a track by a bog standard Mustang GT from 3 years ago. There is no sense in comparing it to the M5 on any day of the week. If you want straight line performance...fine. But if you want an actual car that kicks all around butt, you get the M5.
Even my grandma if she had been late for Easter at church, would have driven that car much faster..
Hallacat doesn't go around track ，no engineering needed to make it lol
2:34 OCD triggered by Roman's twisted seat belt. Fix your belt guy! LOL.
You need to change your white camera pov camera . It's quality is lower than others.
Step 1 to looking like you know what you're doing on a track - fix your hand position on the steering wheel.
Why are you holding the steering wheel like that? The paddles are at 9&3 for a reason.
Wait til the competition package comes. It will def have more horsepower.
very impressive carrrrr...i want one
i realy feel unlucky when i see someone with so little knowledge about cars driving that bad a new m5 and telling us it needs 200 more hp AND THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME IT DOUSNT ONLY POWER THE FRONT WHEELS (12:49) what a shame of motorjournalism!
Could you imagine how the track run would've sound like if they were all e63 amg?
why is it always a competition? its more about preference, all these cars have way more than enough speed any normal person will ever need. If you have the money, try them all and pick which one put the biggest smile on your face, speed isn't all that matter.
Can't believe how you can even compare this beautiful, german, high quality, perfectely well-balanced overall performance sedan to such a trash car as the hellcat. Such disrespect towards bmw. smh
No disrespect, first time watching your video's. This has to be the worst review ever of any performance car. You need 200 or 300 more horsepower on the track yet you haven't driven not 1 time to the limits of this car... Learn to drive.
It's what the M5 doesn't have that bothers me. No more stick shift, no more free-breathing engine, no more RWD. Basically, BMW did nothing right with the M5
Not every car needs to have 900+ hp to be perfect.
This car is rated at 3.2 second for 0 to 60 and there is accurate recordings of 3.1s from other reviewers.. I don't know where you got the "This is 3.5 second car" part. But decent review regardless.
Don’t mention quad pipes because m5 has been quad since the e39, m550i xdrive would not differ much in style compared to the m5, with a tune the m550i will compete with e63 and m5.
Roman - while they are not direct competitors, did you prefer M5 or RS5. Assuming Audi launches an RS5 Sportback, my decision will be RS5 Sportback (and put $30k in my Audi maintenance/repairs fund), or M5... Living in New England, I'm hoping this new M-AWD is available on the next gen M3 (blasphemy, I know). A C63s with 4Matic-plus would be a very welcome option too...
I can drive a demon to work too, for 30K less. So I spend 100K on this M5 and am gonna get my ass kicked by a demon. The main problem is something else; I can just never race and claim the M5 is a luxury car.. When this M5 breaks, and it will as soon as the warranty expires, I'm gonna get hammered at the shop.
Wow, I never knew New Jersey was so beautiful!
You want more horsepower but it’s a 5 series for a reason
When he says he could use a little more power, I say get a tune and switch to E30 fuel.
The fact that you think an M5 needs 900hp to be fun as well as the fact that you drive with your hands at 11 and 1 really makes me think you know nothing about cars and how speed means more than just raw power.
And the Mercedes has racing seats as an option and has a 9 speed automatic.
Thats the thermal race track in calif. Thats a nice track
In the 2WD/RWD mode does it just move more or most of the torque to the rear wheels making it like a 20/80 split for example or does it truly becoming rear wheel drive?? If so that is amazing technology right there. But something tells me it probably just proved Most of the torque to the rear.
The irony in the boys cars comment
Great vehicle, but I'm old school give me the iconic E39 M5 any day
take it to goldmine hill!
$103k for that car thats real cheap - I wish that was the same price in Australia for the M5 first edition starting at $229k
