Expert Reviews
The weapons-grade M5 is a powerful piece of German artillery from BMW’s iconic M division. It sports a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 with 600 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. The M5 faithful will lament the lost manual gearbox and unfamiliar all-wheel-drive system, but this Bimmer has a high-tech drivetrain that can disconnect the front wheels for pure rear-drive personality.
Pros
Astounding acceleration,
rediscovered involvement that doesn’t negatively affect refinement and luxury.
Cons
Stiff ride in Sport mode,
fake engine soundtrack remains,
the stick shift is dead.
The 2018 BMW M5 is equal parts performance monster and luxury cruiser.
Pros
Crazy power
Sharp handling
Spacious interior
Wonderful engine noises
Grip of AWD
Cons
No more manual tranmission
Six-figure price
Still pretty heavy
