CarTell take
We haven't driven the M5 yet. On paper, top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h, lifted to 305 km/h with the optional M Driver's Package. The G90 M5 carries the 2023 5 Series ANCAP rating rather than its own.
Why consider it
- 535 kW combined and 1,000 Nm makes it the most powerful M5 ever.
- The M5 Touring wagon returns to the lineup after 14 years.
- 67 km of WLTP EV range covers most commutes silently. xDrive with selectable 2WD rear-drive mode keeps the M5 honest as a driver's car.
What to know
- 2,510 kg kerb weight is up over 500 kg on the previous F90 M5.
- Looks more 5 Series than M5, restrained styling polarises.
- No manual option, with engine sound piped through the speakers.
Who it suits
Track-day drivers who want the 2WD rear-drive mode and Drift Analyser, family haulers chasing a 500 L wagon boot with 535 kW under the bonnet, EV-curious M buyers wanting 67 km of silent commuting, and power chasers after the most powerful M5 ever sold.

Look at the alternatives if you want a lighter platform (M3 Competition, AMG C 63 S E Performance), a manual gearbox, or you cannot accept the kerb weight or price step over the F90 M5 Competition.
