2023 BMW M5 CS REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The BMW M5 CS is hailed as the most powerful and impressive BMW the reviewer has ever driven, representing the pinnacle of the internal combustion M5 era. The reviewer is particularly impressed by its dual nature: capable of comfortable daily driving and cruising, yet delivering astonishing performance with a 0-60 mph time of 2.81 seconds and a 10.8-second quarter mile. Key highlights include the Alcantara steering wheel, supportive carbon sport seats (including unique rear bucket seats), and a revised suspension that offers a perfect balance of firmness and compliance, providing exceptional steering feel and confidence. The reviewer criticizes the removal of the center console as a weight-saving measure that makes little practical sense. Despite its high price and the end of an era for such powerful ICE sedans, the M5 CS is declared the best BMW the reviewer has ever driven and their favorite currently on sale, a sensational and ridiculously good car that deserves to be driven.
