THE 2025 BMW M5 IS THE BENCHMARK SUPER SEDAN REBORN WITH ELECTRIFIED BI-TURBO V8 POWER

EV Channels Review

The 2025 BMW M5 (G90) redefines the super sedan with its potent electrified twin-turbo V8 plug-in hybrid powertrain, delivering up to 717 horsepower and making it the most powerful M5 ever. The reviewer highlights its impressive acceleration, achieving 0-60 mph in the low 3-second range, and praises BMW's ability to mask the vehicle's nearly 5,400 lb curb weight, offering a surprisingly refined ride quality for its class, even in its stiffest M2 mode. A significant advantage is the ability to operate in pure EV mode for up to 27 miles, addressing the fuel consumption concerns of previous generations. The interior, while tech-heavy with iDrive 8.5, offers comfortable, supportive M-specific seats and ample rear-seat space. However, the reviewer notes the omission of soft-close doors and the high price point, with the tested model reaching nearly $146,000 after options and taxes. Despite the weight and cost, the M5 is positioned as a compelling, albeit expensive, benchmark for electrified performance sedans, with the wagon variant offering added practicality for a modest price increase.
