2025 BMW M5 REVIEW + BMW’S SIM RACING BOOTCAMP

EV Channels Review

The 2025 BMW M5 (G90) is presented as a "mini M7," a significant departure from its predecessor, the F90. While it retains impressive straight-line performance, capable of reaching nearly 290 km/h on the Autobahn, the reviewer notes a substantial increase in weight (around 2500 kg). This heft, however, is masterfully managed by BMW's engineering, particularly through rear-axle steering, which makes the car feel more agile and smaller than it is, especially on tight European roads. The M5 is lauded as a "jack of all trades," offering a comfortable and luxurious daily driving experience, including an all-electric mode, a stark contrast to the harsher F90. The carbon ceramic brakes are highlighted as a worthwhile, albeit expensive, upgrade for their fade resistance. Steering feedback is described as somewhat numb but sharp and responsive. The reviewer also touches upon the M1 and M2 buttons for customizable driving modes, including a hybrid setting for city driving and a V8-focused mode for spirited driving. The video also delves into BMW's sponsorship of esports teams, showcasing their rigorous physical and mental training bootcamps in the Austrian Alps, emphasizing the serious, professional nature of modern esports.
