BWM M5 no longer The Ultimate Driving Machine, especially since it's heavier than SUVs.

I hate the way it looks, too much like an EV

Still rocking my E39 M5 which I've had for nearly twenty years now! I've put over 130,000 miles on the clock. We taught our daughter to drive in it, and our son. We took them to school in it. It still turns heads to this day. Costs nothing to insure and servicing is peanuts. Solid as a rock.

BMW needs to get rid of all the diagonal angles on their new vehicles. We want the boxy, sporty look we’ve all come to love and know

It’s a matter of opinion. I would personally own the new M5 over any of the others you mentioned. The model x plaid nor the model y are attractive to me.

BMW saw the C63 changes and they said "hold my beer" (at least its a v8)

The New M5 is far more stylish than your unruly hair... It's not all about power

When the n5 segment abruptly started I thought it had skipped to the next VV video! 😂 Informative. Great video!

You've got your edge back. Great video, keep them coming..

So, Looks are Subjective . I personally like the way this car looks, inside and out. I do agree with the Surprising Weight Issue. Also I agree with the Criticism regarding the meager 25 miles available for Electric use. Like many Customers I actually want a High Performance SUV that’s comfortable and efficient as far as MPG’s are concerned. Last but not least, Most consumers want a sharp exterior and interior design. Again, I can find No Fault with the way the 2025 BMW looks. I think I see a preview of coming attractions. I believe that the 2026 BMW X5 M is going to closely resemble the M5. Hopefully BMW will solve some of its Heavy Hybrid Battery issues???

I literally just posted a video on this as well... I love BMW M. I'm a die hard fan, but I agree. Makes absolutely ZERO sense. Go get an M3 CS or a F90 M5 and tune it to 1000hp!!

I'm sorry, but your Tesla looks like an iPhone: plain and boring, just like everyone else's. No matter how hard you try to make it resemble a combustion car, it will always look like a plain, boring Tesla. My only conclusion is that Parker is secretly sponsored by Tesla 😂

At least it's a V8, downpipes and a tune. Woooooo I'm getting one..... And I got electric mode for my daily adventures

Get the M5 CS bro

Leave your opinion open until you’ve had a chance to drive it. BMW doesn’t get their M division wrong often.

This is the EXACT same reaction everyone had about the g80 & g82 until people started driving them … I think it’s safe to say BMW knows what their doing

A tesla DOES NOT look better than the M5😂 trippin

Personally I’d look into the Lexus is500, 4 door sedan with an extremely reliable v8 making almost 472hp. Sure it’s not the most amazing car out there, but for a daily you’d want reliability with maybe a little bit of fun which this car gives you

Did you consider the Lucid Air Sapphire? That car is nuts

i hate Tesla with a passion, but I have to agree with 100% of this video.

С 63 2.2 tons, E53 with 6 cylinders 2.47 tons. So 2.5 for m5 is not that bad. Ecologists are killing it.

The looks are entirely subjective yet this guy hands down his opinion on the G90’s aesthetic as objective fact. The car is heavier due to need to navigate regulations yet retain V8. It’s very simple. The E63 is switching to a V6. MB can keep it.

As an E34 M5 3.8 owner I sadly have to agree with you. As a die hard M5 fan for more than 30 years, this is the 1st M5 that I don't desire.

It's the M5. Not M5 competition or M5 CS The V8 is 585hp, previous M5 engine was 635hp. The engine is clearly detuned to 585hp to save the 635hp for the M5 competition. Infact it might get boosted to 650hp. So the competition will be 777hp - 800hp. Then there's the CS model which is likely to be more

I like the slightly more cuss friendly Parker, must be Alejandro rubbing off 😅

Great style of vlog! Love it!

But the new M5 ain't track focused... If there is a M5 CS coming that is track focused.

How can you have the audacity to be that critical, while you didn't even drive it yet. Plus you drive a Tesla? HAHAHA wow...

Congratulations on being more healthy. It’s something I need to work on as well. Love the old vlog style. Here since summer 2016

You look ight, don't look overweight, but 1 hour a day is really good, keep it up man.

Parker loves the Hyundai genesis but hates the new m5

How did they manage to even make it so heavy? Does it have lead body panels??

Glad to see you back with the Style of your old Videos 🙌🏼

I like how this thing weighs the same as three MK1 Golf GTI's

ya you really need 1000 hp as a daily driver

This was a great video and I agree with all of your points. What disappoints me is the interior, the weight, and the power. Per the website, this new M5 will tip the scales at a whopping 5,390lbs. The M5 has always been known as the ultimate driving machine in terms of performance, handling, and luxury but with the previous generation F90 LCI weighing in at 4370 lbs, I hope that the handling doesn’t suffer. Next is the interior. I understand that in today’s age technology and convenience are a priority but it seems the luxury brands are taking advantage of this to cost cut and create lower grade interiors. The new M5 has none of the touch points and switch gear that differentiate this from a Kia. I am also disappointed with the power since although the new generation makes more power, it suffers from a decrease its power to weight will likely result in decrease in performance. All that being said, I hope BMW finds its way.

I think it finally sank in when he said it weighed more than a Chevy Tahoe that’s diabolical 💀idc how much electronics you throw at the thing you can’t unfeel that much mass driving in a spirited manner

You should wait for the new e63 or even maybe the upcoming audi rs7/rs7 avant

It’s the best looking M5 ever made in my eyes. This is how different people are…

Good to see you healthier than before parker. Random question, still have your house?

First time I actually find myself agreeing with you

Great summary of how BMW has lost its way. First car I bought was a manual 325ci, followed by a manual e46 M3 and finally a manual e60 M5 (currently daily driver is a Tesla M3P). Nothing since then has been interesting...seems like they just slap turbos on an existing engine along with some M badging and call it good (and of course each new model always weighs more than the last) :/

5:18 spoken well.

id like the luxury in the m5, i prefer it that way. its what an m5 was always about a luxury sport car that can be a daily driver. im happy its not light and doesnt just add carbon fiber everywhere with some sports seats. my criticism would be against the weight and performance.

Tesla has changed the entire idea of what real horsepower and "fast" should be...ruined it for me to be honest. I own several and wish I didn't before I had a chance to buy a few more cars that were on my bucket list.

Soooo when do we get the Vegas Boysss?? 😂

BMW is trying really hard to lose sales… they started to get lazy with the M cars with the 2015 MY and has been going down hill design and engines wise ever since…

So weird, it's like Cadillac and BMW switched philosophies...I think I'll be targeting a MY25 CT5-V Blackwing Precision Package as my next car instead of another M. I don't need the greater luxury and weight of the M, I just want a daily driver I can take to the track on occasions.

Vehicle Virgins Great Video I definitely agree that the All New BMW M5 is way too heavy and I think it's awesome that you got to get your Hands another Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and I think your friends reactions were absolutely hilarious

Great video Parker. Bravo 👏👏

The general car-buying public, even for these "performance" brands, does not have the faintest idea how much a car weighs; they ignore power-to-weight and just see the horsepower figure. This is a testament to the fact, that with twin turbos the norm, you need only up the boost to gain impressive HP figures. It's cheap, and it's easy to market. Reducing weight takes engineering and costs development dollars. Thus, it is ignored by the manufacturers, resulting in the truly ludicrous weight of this car. (they are not the only ones) No doubt BMW will come out with a special, which will cost 10 K more and reduce the weight by 80 pounds. With their serviceability issues, their excess weight (and price), it seems that BMW has decided we are all ignorant and will buy any "product" they put out there. Signed, former M3, M5 owner.

If I could I would buy it anyways

Completely agree with you. New car being worse than the old car is crazy.

Getting Hyundai info when searching for M5 info is equivalent to ordering Mastro’s and getting some Outback with it

I was at Goodwood for the UK launch. i was on board for the Wagon at last. Why didn't they make an effort. I have been waiting for this as a last hope to replace my E63S estate.

Agree with you on all points. BMW f'd this up massively.

Next 5 months you buy this car

It’s an adopted m5. The e60 was ugly af too but at least the v10 gave it character.

BMW's gone... An M2 that looks like it just came out of a 3D Printer, The M3 and its Mouse Tooth grill, & a dumptruck of an M5. Sad when the most likeable newer M car is a 2020 X3m for me.

Looks aside, ppl fail to realize how impressive it is that they added half a ton in weight and only lost .2 seconds & made the most powerful m5 ever

Interesting edit to a different review

Toooo heavyyyyyy. Shame…

I love M5, but unfortunately NOT this version😢

At 5400 lbs no amount of driver aids are gonna help you when that heft wants to throw you in a ditch

M5 CS is where it all ended

2024 M5 Comp: 625 Horsepower (V8 engine) 750 Feet Pound of Torque 1,865kg (4,111 pounds) 2025 M5: 577 Horsepower (V8 S68 engine) 553 Feet Pound of Torque 192 Electric Power 202 Feet Pound of Torque from Electric 2,435kg (5,368 pounds) The 2025 M5 is significantly heavier, for obvious reasons. Nevertheless, once you run out of your electric battery charge (25-mile range), you are left with only 577 V8 horsepower to push a 5,368-pound car. What a disaster! And the rest, I am not sure where to go with it. What is up with not having a gear lever? I don’t think BMW is listening to their customers and clients anymore. Every interview they feed us a bunch of BS and the interviewers are afraid to ask tough questions. The BMW may fool the new buyers, but not the BMW enthusiasts and the people who are loyal to the brand. More so, those who are engineers are not buying these nonsense interviews. You can’t fool us. Cheap plastic door panels, plastic carbon fiber-looking paddle shifts, and no carbon fiber steering. Yet, all of which is available on the M3 and M4 models. The rear diffuser truly looks like an afterthought Lego attachment. And the front kidney grill is identical to the i5 M60. What a joke! And I am sure BMW has increased the price beyond any measure to match the rest of the model lineups.

Bmw tends to do very well with putting power down and being very quick. I’m guessing it’s underrated like the others. The design language is another story. Sad to see that direction happening.

717 horsepower and your complaining? why fix something that wasnt broken? the 4.4 twin turbo is a great engine

Why not get a 2021 version bud

Who cares what you think nepo baby?

Now i see why this channel is done with because when you can praise a hyundai and tell oeople a bmw m5 is no good and a tesla looks better we all know you've lost your mind bro!! 😂😂😂😂😅😅

How did bmw make the m5 the same weight as a F-250 that has a bed and a towing capacity for 120k starting I better be able to to hook a 44 foot gooseneck to the back of it ( edit its 700 lb heavier than a hummer h3 )

I would say get a ZO6 instead but it does seem they haven’t worked out the computer kinks yet

I don’t think it’s meant for track performance.

Parker, you need another E63 als a daily!

Most of the reviews from those that have not driven this car are negative. Most of the reviews of those that have actually driven the car are positive. Just an observation

Hmm... Isn't there a tax credit for vehicles over 5000 pounds, for companies. Tons of people buy or lease through a business or LLC. I first heard that in a conversation about the popularity of the G-wagon, which is also over 5k. It could be bs though I did not research it lol

Couldn’t agree more about the M5….what a let down..there isn’t going to be a competition either which is a double disgrace 😳😎

While we all rant and blow our tops over the M5's design, I propose a simple solution that could have at least solved the weight issue - split the M5 lineup. TL:DR version - Offer both a petrol M5 with a mild hybrid, and a fully electric iM5 model instead of a Frankenstein combination of the two like we have now. Audi recently split their lineup into even and odd numbers, so for example, the RS4 will become fully electric, whilst the RS5 carries on the petrol lineage of the RS4 nameplate. Meanwhile, BMW announced that the next M3 will have both the regular petrol model and a fully electric model called the iM3. In my opinion, this is what BMW should have done with this new M5, since 5 series nowadays have both petrol and electric variants. The EV sales can easily keep the CO2 credit low, so they're free to make a "dirty" petrol M5 without worrying about government penalties. In short, offer both a traditional petrol M5 with a mild-hybrid system that doesn't carry the weight of a PHEV system, and an electric iM5 model that not only satisfies government regulations, but also gives them time to fine tune their approach to performance EVs before the 2030-2035 petrol ban.

Riding Tesla and talking about BMW M5

I'm with you

Won’t the competition model have more power ? My guess would be 760-790hp range

Hey Parker, your Facebook probably got hijacked, I haven’t seen any official statements from you so just letting you know.

Good choice. Dude all the new uber blacks are now the new m5

yes, it's sad. they have all but driven me away from the brand after years of driving the brand. sad.

Quality review, Parker. You’re on your game.

All nonsense the new m5 is faster and drive better than the old m5, the c63 is faster than the e63 so nothing mercedes makes can compare with a bmw M. Amg is now v6 or 4cylinder so all this talk is nonsense bmw is out selling mercedes by alot so ask everyone why they would buy a bmw over a amg and when bmw was the first car that had the engine sound inside everyone hated that so whats the point of this whole video

The front face and headlight looks so stupid

At least it doesn't have that stupid ass grill

And the nail in the coffin: reliability, or mkre precisely, the lack of.

The m5 went from curvy to too much lines

you lost me at hybrid electric ...

I'm someone who wants to go EV, but I'm taking the F90 LCI over the G90.

7:45 bro ran that 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Big fan, Parker.

This guys just annoying. There's no way he even has a gf

BMW should fire their designers. My neighbor had a 2014 M5 and it’s the most beautiful car i’ve ever seen. I saw the new 5 series and it looks like a pile of dog shit and check this out… it’s slower

Bmw has lost their way, I’ve been given up, and went back to Lexus.

I loved BMW, but the completely lost their way. The las great car was the BMW M5 cs, everything around was already ugly, now even the m5 is ugly and way to heavy. They should have noticed how loved the M5 cs was/ is and build on that. Maybe even go hybrid but it should never be heavier then 4000 pounds.

Don't compare bwm V8 with a vacuum cleaner.😂😂

I can't believe that this new M5 weighs 600 KGS MORE than the outgoing model. I think I'll pass 👎🏻
