  • Jekyll & Hyde persona

Cons

  • Potentially polarizing design

  • Focused ride quality

  • Too quiet

Reviews Summary

Now a plug-in hybrid, the redesigned 2025 BMW M5 is a versatile, high-performance sedan that allows drivers to have their cake and eat it, too. It may put out 717 horsepower — and certainly feels like it — but the M5’s repertoire also includes a calming all-electric driving experience for up to 43 kilometres, which also makes this version the most efficient M5 ever.

Verdict: The new BMW M5 boasts impressive speed, agility, and daily usability. It's not perfect: the exhaust is too quiet for a performance vehicle and its ride is too harsh for a luxury car. But for the shopper who wants a sedan capable of doing a bit of everything, the M5 delivers in excess.
