Pros Cons of BMW M5

Pros

  • Mind-bending performance that defies physics.
  • It effectively functions as two cars.
  • It is comfortable enough for daily commutes.
  • M1/M2 steering wheel buttons for customised driving.
  • Unpretentious appearance compared to flamboyant supercars.

Cons

  • Heaviest M5 ever.
  • Mixed reactions for its aggressive styling.
  • Other alluring options are available at this price point.
  • Milder engine sound compared to the pure V8s of the past.

Verdict

The BMW M5 (G90) is a super saloon that has successfully addressed the modern need for sustainability without sacrificing the M division’s soul and spirit. While purists may not enjoy the increased weight and hybridisation, the trade-off is a vehicle that offers a genuinely usable electric range for week-to-week travel and power-packed V8 performance for the weekends.
It is the automotive equivalent of Clark Kent, mild-mannered and respectable on the surface, but capable of revealing a superpower when the situation demands it. If you are looking for a single vehicle that can serve as a luxury family hauler and a track-day weapon, the BMW M5 remains the pragmatic king of the super saloon segment. It is not just a car; it is a statement that the future of performance is both electric and exhilarating.


Bilal concludes,

“Does that make the M5 a bargain? Perhaps. It isn’t as flashy or flamboyant as a raging bull, but that is the point of a sleeper. Clark Kent doesn’t want the world to know how super he really is underneath.”

Pros Cons of BMW 5 Series

Pros

  • Great Ride And Handling
  • Gets Both Petrol And Diesel Options
  • Premium Interior With Smart Features

Cons

  • Petrol Trim Only Comes In One Variant
  • Second-Row Not Good For 3 Occupants
  • Cabin Design Looks A Bit Dated

Verdict

The 5 series continues to impress with its dynamic capabilities but a more contemporary face and tech laden cabin has made the car even more appealing than before. It starts at ₹ 62.90 lakh for the Petrol version while the 520d is priced at ₹ 63.90 lakh. Top of the line 530d will set you back by ₹ 71.90 lakh (all prices ex-showroom). It is going up against the likes of the recently launched Mercedes E-class, Audi A6 and Jaguar XF.
