2027 BMW M5

Price Range: $123,300

Average

If we had to sum up the 2027 BMW M5 in a short and sweet way, it would be this: fast but not always fun. Weight is the enemy here, and while the M5's hardware does its best to combat it, the plug-in hybrid powertrain's battery and electric motor mass put a dent in the driving experience.Read full review

What's new

BMW has made no changes to the M5
Part of the eighth 5 Series generation introduced for 2024

Overview

Written by automotive expert Christian Wardlaw

Updated: 11/8/2026

Among driving enthusiasts, the performance-oriented version of the BMW 5 Series has traditionally needed no introduction. The latest M5 is a different story. For starters, it comes in both sedan and station wagon body styles (the latter called a "Touring" by BMW). It also has a standard plug-in hybrid powertrain. Don't fret, though. With 717 horsepower and instantly available electric motor torque, the 2027 BMW M5 still rips. However, based on our testing, the extra battery and motor weight take a toll on its ride and handling. Read our full Edmunds Expert Rating to get all the details.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Nick Yekikian

Average

6.2

out of 10

We drove the 2027 BMW M5 on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience

6.1/10

How does it drive? Bad news: This M5 is slower and stops worse than a previous-generation M5 we evaluated. It needed 3.4 seconds to hit 60 mph in our testing. The last one? Just 3.2 seconds. It also needed 118 feet to stop from 60 mph. Though we suspect our test car's tires were past their prime, the 2018 M5 did it in 99 feet. In pure performance terms, this M5 is a step backward due to its massive 1,000-pound weight gain.

Things don't get better when you get off the test track and head to a curvy road. The steering lacks connection, and all that mass muddies your faith in the car's performance. The ride has also been firmed up significantly to deal with the extra weight, and even in its softest setting, the suspension is too stiff for everyday driving.

What BMW gets right on all 5 Series models, the M5 gets right too. The driver assistance systems, such as lane keeping assistance, adaptive cruise and blind-spot warning, all work well. Visibility is good thanks to a good view out of the front, sides and back. The multiple camera views and the sharp screen resolution are helpful aids, too.

Comfort

6.8/10

How comfortable is it? The M5's interior is pretty comfortable for a high-performance sedan. The front seats are the highlight here. They are upholstered in expensive-feeling leather and offer plenty of adjustability. We wouldn't mind a bit more side bolstering to help hold you in place when cornering, but overall, the M5 is a great place to sit.

The screens are super clear and make important information (like tire temperature and oil pressure) easy to access and read. The M5's firm ride creates some vibrations that make their way into the cabin, but the materials never squeak or rattle. Quirks from the taut ride aside, the M5 strikes a nice balance between sport and comfort.

The M5's climate controls are all touchscreen-based. Using them can be cumbersome, but we have no complaints about the climate system's ability to quickly heat or cool the cabin. The vents, however, can be a burden to adjust because of the atypical knobs BMW used. Should you need to fit car seats in your super hi-po sedan, the M5 has a decently roomy back seat with easy-to-access Isofix points.

In-cabin tech

9/10

How’s the tech? Even though the learning curve is steep, the software and hardware that make up BMW's infotainment are excellent. The screen reacts quickly and looks great thanks to deep blacks and bright colors. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto both connect wirelessly and work faultlessly. We'd like more USB-C ports and a cooled charging pad, however.

BMW's voice control system is one of the best around, and while it might feel weird to talk to your car, the system works well enough that you'll want to use it. It can process commands like changing the temperature, turning the head-up display on and off, and more. Given how many of these functions are buried in a screen menu, this is a welcome feature.

Storage & cargo

7/10

How’s storage and cargo? The M5 features one of the larger trunks you'll find in a midsize luxury sedan. There's significantly more space in the rear than in the also hybridized Mercedes-AMG E 53 sedan. There is a small concession in cargo space compared to the regular 5 Series due to the hybrid battery, but it's only something you'd notice if you compared the cars back to back.

Storage inside the cabin is good, too, with several spots to stash sunglasses, small bags and more. There's a small bin in front of the cupholders that's large enough to hold two phones, too. The door pockets aren't massive, but we'd say that's common for this class.

Value

7.1/10

Is it a good value? Value isn't always a question when you want an M5. You want one because you want something that offers blistering performance and everyday usability. The cost is simply a byproduct of how much you expect of a car like this. That said, the M5 is built extremely well, and even though that can be said about all members of the modern 5 Series range, the build quality holds up even at the M5's much loftier price tag.

The problem is that, value-wise, it makes the previous M5 look like more of a bargain than ever. Despite the M5's added flexibility as a plug-in hybrid, its performance doesn't suit its price. BMW's basic and powertrain warranties are generally average for a luxury car, but its hybrid and battery warranties aren't as good.

Electric range/MPG

2.1/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA says that the M5 sedan will do 25 miles on EV power alone, and after that, the gas engine will get up to 14 mpg combined. (The Touring gets 13 mpg combined.) M5 buyers have always known they weren't getting a fuel-sipper, but we averaged 24 mpg on a long road trip, with the gas engine and electric motor efficiently trading off propulsion duties. However, that's only if you're being extremely careful and road-tripping with mpg in mind. In city driving, you can expect to see numbers closer to the EPA estimate, and by performance plug-in hybrid standards, that's not very good.

X factor

7/10

You don't see many M5s on the road, and it has a certain styling presence about it as well. But the latest iteration has left us underwhelmed. The objective test numbers we got were middling for a high-performance sedan, and subjectively, it lacks the charm and focus we expect for something with an M5 badge.

Buying Tips for the 2027 BMW M5 for November

The 2027 BMW M5 is selling a bit below sticker, but only about 461 new cars are listed nationwide, so expect modest discounts and be ready to move fast.

You can save about $2,000 off MSRP on average, and there are no general customer rebates to stack on top. The Base trim looks a little stronger at about $2,400 off, while the Touring is closer to $1,600 off.
New inventory is tight at 461 vehicles nationwide, and the Touring is especially scarce with about 248 listed versus roughly 213 Base sedans. Tight supply limits bargaining room, so if you find the right spec, reserve it quickly.
These new M5s are moving slower than average, with remaining new inventory turning in about 25 days versus 18 days for the average new vehicle. That may help you push for a small discount, especially on a Base.
BMW is also offering a promotional rate as low as 6.19% for 48, 60, or 72 months for qualified buyers. That is well below typical market rates, which can save real money over the life of a six-figure loan.

2027 BMW M5 trim level differences

Available as a midsize luxury sedan or station wagon, the 2027 M5 comes in a single level of specification with a few options. It has a plug-in hybrid powertrain featuring a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission equipped with an integrated electric motor. Together, these components produce 717 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque, and the M5's 14.8-kWh battery pack provides 25 miles of electric range (24 miles for the Touring). Compare the 2027 BMW M5 trim levels in-depth.

Which M5 trim does Edmunds recommend?

Get the M5 Touring while BMW is feeling magnanimous about offering it in the States. It costs a little more, is a tick slower to 60 mph, and offers a skosh less electric range, but the cool factor is off the charts.

Competitors to consider

The BMW M5's closest analog rivals are the Mercedes-AMG E 53 Hybrid sedan and wagon and the Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid or 4S E-Hybrid. The Mercedes is more affordable but slower and less powerful, while the Porsches are more expensive and, umm, slower and less powerful. So the BMW packs power and performance at a genuine value.

Beautiful Car but Nightmare Reliability

Emil Sliman, 08/25/2026

2025 BMW M5 Touring 4dr Wagon AWD (4.4L 8cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 8A)

I want to start by saying that Momentum BMW in Houston has been excellent throughout this entire experience. Their sales team, finance team, and service department have worked harder on my behalf than I could have asked. Everything I'm about to describe is about the vehicle BMW manufactured and the response from BMW of North America. It is not a reflection of the dealership. I purchased … my 2025 BMW M5 new in March 2025. At the time, it was the fulfillment of something I'd worked toward — BMW's flagship M Performance sports sedan, 717 horsepower, approximately $140,000. I've been a BMW customer for five years and have purchased eight of their vehicles. I say that because what follows is not the reaction of someone who expected perfection. It's the reaction of someone who expected a manufacturer to stand behind its product. The problems started at 1,910 miles. The car went in for its scheduled break-in service on March 31st, 2025 — eleven days after delivery. Two days later, the coolant expansion tank was leaking. Not a slow drip. Leaking visibly from the top of the tank. The system had been overfilled. That was the first repair. One day out of service, first coolant event logged, before I had barely put 2,000 miles on the car. The car ran through the summer without a major issue. In August 2025 I brought it in for an oil service. In October 2025, around 12,000 miles, I was back at the dealership for a TPMS malfunction warning. While it was there, a manufacturer safety recall was identified on the vehicle — parts weren't available yet so it couldn't be completed. Two more days out of service. In February 2026, the car spent nine days in the service department for a persistent rattling and clattering noise coming from underneath that had been present for months. The noise was documented. BMW opened an internal case around it. It was never resolved. To this day it has not been fixed. Then the engine started failing. March 13th, 2026. Roughly 16,900 miles. The Drivetrain Malfunction warning came on while I was driving. The engine began to sputter. Power dropped significantly. I had the car towed. The diagnosis was a failed fuel injector — specifically a DME Solenoid Valve Injector Actuation failure on Cylinder 7. One injector replaced under warranty. Six days out of service. March 26th, 2026 — one week after getting the car back — the coolant expansion tank began leaking again. This time with a burning smell detectable while driving. The tank and its cap were replaced. The cooling system was drained and bled twice. Eight more days out of service. Second coolant event. May 4th, 2026. Back on a tow truck. Drivetrain Malfunction again. This time it was Cylinders 6 and 8 — two injectors on the same side of the engine as the first failure. Both replaced under warranty. Seventeen days in the service department before the car was returned to me on May 21st. Four days later I was calling a tow truck again. May 25th, 2026. Third drivetrain failure. Same warning. Same sputtering. Same power loss. The car has not left Momentum's service department since that day. As I write this review in August 2026, it has been 73 days. During this current visit, the following has been performed: the engine ignition wiring harness for the entire Cylinder 5-8 bank was replaced. Four additional fuel injectors were replaced — bringing the total across all visits to seven injectors replaced on one side of this engine. The coolant expansion tank was replaced for the third time. Beyond those repairs, BMW of North America directed the installation of what I was told is some kind of drip pan or catch modification on the vehicle. I was given no documentation, no specifications, and no real explanation of its purpose. What I can say is that BMW NA apparently felt a custom modification was necessary on top of everything else that had already been done. To summarize what this engine has required in under 21,000 miles: seven fuel injectors replaced, one complete engine wiring harness replaced, three separate coolant expansion tank replacements, a BMW NA directed modification of unknown specification, an unresolved rattling noise that was never diagnosed or repaired, a safety recall that took months to complete, and a TPMS electrical fault. The repair order from this visit carries the official status: VEH. DISABLED. Here is what I find most telling. After all of that — the harness, the injectors, the third expansion tank, the BMW NA modification — the car has continued to generate drivetrain fault alerts through BMW's own automated monitoring system, called Proactive Care. July 23rd. July 30th. August 6th. Three separate alert emails in two weeks, each flagging the same drivetrain fault code, each sent while the car sits in a service bay with every repair supposedly complete. BMW's own connected vehicle infrastructure keeps telling me something is still wrong. The total time this vehicle has spent in service departments across all visits: more than 125 days. In sixteen months of ownership. Under 21,000 miles. On a $140,000 car. I submitted a formal repurchase request to BMW of North America with complete documentation. Their response was $6,000 described as goodwill compensation. I declined. They followed with an offer to help me trade into a different vehicle. I declined that too. I asked them to repurchase a vehicle that has spent 125 days being serviced. That request has been denied twice. The situation is ongoing. I'm not writing this out of anger. I'm writing it because I searched for reviews like this before I bought my M5 and didn't find one. If you're considering this vehicle, you deserve to know what one owner's experience has been — every repair, every day in the shop, every tow truck call, documented exactly as it happened. Make of it what you will.

What were they driving to give this 3 stars?!

2026 BMW M5 Touring 4dr Wagon AWD (4.4L 8cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 8A)

The car is not - just okay. It's great. It's drives better than most new thing, gets there faster and in ultimate comfort. The Edmunds track guys could (and somewhat did) have picked on: 1. The plastic door releases 2. The giant coverless, grill that begs for road, bugs and leaves. 3. The fact that you can't buy all-season tires for it yet, forcing MANY folks to buy winter tires. 4. No …

love it love it love it!
