2020 BMW M5 Review

Name: 2020 BMW M5 Review
Brand: BMW

Price: $56,590

The 2020 BMW M5 is one of the top high-performance sedans on sale. It takes everything we like about the standard 5 Series, such as powerful engines and balanced handling, and cranks them up several notches. The twin-turbocharged V8 engine packs a wallop with 600 horsepower. Big, sticky tires and all-wheel drive are also here to provide eye-popping levels of grip. This is a track star and a chauffeured luxury ride in one.

BMW M5 Edition 35 Years package available in extremely limited numbers
Digital instrument cluster, wireless charger and connectivity package now standard equipment

Edmunds says

The M5 comes with stunning acceleration and a price tag to match. Choices include the regular M5, the M5 Competition, or this year's new Edition 35 Jahre. Celebrating the 35 years the M5 has been in production, the 35 Jahre comes with special interior and exterior appointments and is limited to a global run of 350 cars. Otherwise, the 2020 BMW M5 is exactly what you'd expect: a stylish, comfortable, addictively fast luxury sedan.

2019 BMW M5 Competition 4dr Sedan AWD (4.4L 8cyl Turbo 8A)

Okay well, the M5 is a a beautiful car, in my opinion it scored a 10/10 in every aspect. I don’t why the other reviews said it lack in Luxary compared to its competitors, like what? It’s a BMW they are number one in the game. Don’t listen to everyone they're high as a Kit. That’s all I wanted to say. If you read this I love you. Hahaha

2019 BMW M5 Competition 4dr Sedan AWD (4.4L 8cyl Turbo 8A)

A great sedan when we take the kids but a sports car otherwise. Amazing acceleration and the options are over the top. Paid a bit of premium for the non standard exterior color

2019 BMW M5 4dr Sedan AWD (4.4L 8cyl Turbo 8A)

I really loved my '07 328xi - and the AWD was great for ski trips. But it was getting a bit long in the tooth and the F30 3 series left me cold. Then I discovered the new M5 and ordered a 2019. This car is brilliant - more power than I'll ever need (but like having it anyway), handles and drives wonderfully, is a fantastic long distance cruiser, and with the addition of a set of all …

2019 BMW M5 4dr Sedan AWD (4.4L 8cyl Turbo 8A)

After years of driving a BMW 528 and Porsches to work I spoiled myself. This is a fantastic road car and I love the soft close doors and massaging seats. It has a tremendous amount of power up in the mountains and handles like it is on rails. This car exceeds what I thought it would be like. This is a race car disguised as a luxury car!

Evasion Aid: Helps mitigate an accident by proactively swerving, if appropriate, to avoid a front collision.
Traffic Jam Assistant: Keeps the car centered in the lane and following the car in front in stop-and-go traffic.
Active Protection System: Proactively tensions seat belts, closes windows and sunroof, and activates the brakes when it detects an imminent accident.
