THE 2025 BMW M5 IS THE ULTIMATE GERMAN SUPER SALOON WITH TWIN-TURBO HYBRID V8 PERFORMANCE

EV Channels Review

The 2025 BMW M5 (G90 generation) marks a significant evolution, embracing a plug-in hybrid powertrain with a twin-turbo V8 and electric motor, delivering a combined 717 horsepower. While the added weight is noticeable, the M5 impressively masks it, offering supercar-level acceleration (0-60 mph in 3.06 seconds in testing) and tenacious handling, especially in its aggressive M1/M2 modes. The interior boasts luxurious materials and advanced iDrive 8.5, though some cost-cutting is evident in switchgear and the lack of soft-close doors. The reviewer highlights the usable 30-mile electric range and a real-world hybrid range of around 350 miles, a substantial improvement over some competitors. The M5 Touring variant is recommended for its practicality. Despite a hefty price tag, the M5 is considered a strong value proposition against its rivals, offering a compelling blend of luxury, technology, and extreme performance, living up to its "ultimate German super saloon" reputation.
