Change your car with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Change-Your-Car-21-12 The time has come for Mat to review the all-new BMW M5! Now it’s fair to say that the new M5 has had a fair bit of criticism thrown its way since it was unveiled back in June, but is it all justified? Mat’s about to take a closer look and find out. Starting with the design, there’s no denying that it has a pretty aggressive look to it. There’s a huge front bumper that comes with massive air intakes, while there’s also a large blacked-out M grille which can even illuminate at night! Along the side, there are side skirts and M side mirrors, while at the back there’s a crazy diffuser-styled bumper, coupled with quad tailpipes! It’s even possible to add a carbon fibre roof as well. Step inside and you’ll find a traditional M interior, with a large swooping digital dial and infotainment screen. There are loads of M touches as well, including the M steering wheel, M sports seats, and even M pedals! There’s lots of soft-touch material throughout, and a lot of M functionality hidden in the infotainment system. Under the bonnet, the new M5 is still powered by a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8. However, it’s now also a hybrid, so when the engine and electric motor combine it produces 727hp and 1,000Nm of torque! But of course, the hybrid system massively adds to the weight, with the M5 clocking in at 2,435kg! All in, the new M5 costs from around £111,000. So is it worth it?! You’ll need to stick with Mat to see for yourself!
