2025 BMW M5 REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2025 BMW M5 (G90) is reviewed as a "heavy hitter" that defies its over 5,000 lb curb weight with blistering performance, particularly on the German Autobahn. Reviewers were impressed by its "electric sickness of fast driving" and the seamless integration of its plug-in hybrid system, which provides a "punchy" torque fill from the 4.4L Turbo V8. Despite initial skepticism about its weight and hybrid nature, the M5 delivers an "incredible" and "stable" experience even at speeds exceeding 300 km/h, thanks to its adaptive dampers and optional carbon ceramic brakes. While the design is polarizing, reviewers grew to appreciate its modern aesthetic. The reviewer concludes that the M5 is country-appropriate for Germany and excels as an "Autobahn cruiser," with no significant drawbacks felt even under hard braking, suggesting BMW has successfully managed the hybridization without compromising the M5's core driving dynamics.
