BMW M5 review: a PHEV worth its weight

After 40 years and six generations, 2025 marks the beginning of a new generation of the BMW M5: the G90 chassis. Featuring a ground-up redesign and a new plug-in hybrid powertrain, the specs are impressive. It's not just its horsepower and torque numbers but its curb weight of 5,390 pounds, too. That's no small figure, but the German brand's never held back in this department, and it has never greatly impeded the badge. Well, until now. There's a lot to like about the newest M5, especially in its corner-carving competence and how it acts around town solely propelled by electrons. But in other areas, this $123,275 super sedan lacks some necessary traits to its class. The latest BMW M5's exterior styling is bulky. It's common for new cars, especially of the enthusiast-geared variety, to be smaller in real life than they look in press photos. The M5 is one of the few that is actually larger. It looks muscular, and I dig it from the rear three-quarter perspective. But there's no hiding it: this thing is dimensionally massive in every sense of the word. Inside, the G90 possesses BMW's latest screen and capacitive touch-focused interior design. Its air vents are now the latter, which I never thought would be a thing, but they function well nonetheless and help it stand apart from other high-end European fare. Its dash trim color is customizable, and switching between Road and Sport in its M Mode settings changes this trim to the BMW M colors, too. All controls are laid out in an organized manner, and their touch response is quite good. But first-time BMW drivers may find configuring performance settings and navigating through BMW's iDrive software a tad befuddling at first. There's a reason for so much heft beneath this latest iteration of BMW's beloved executive express: it sports a 14.8kWh battery, fed by a 7.5kW onboard charger. It provides forward momentum by feeding into the M5's eight-speed automatic gearbox via AC motor and will return as many as 25 miles of range on electrons alone. When its twin-turbo, 4.4-liter V8 and battery combine forces, acceleration is ferocious. Besides some jerkiness while shifting through gears with the pedal mashed, its acceleration is still ample for daily commuting. Like any PHEV, it's relaxing to cruise around town sans internal combustion, too. BMW doesn't specifically outline this, but I suspect that the M5's massive weight helps with quicker-than-average energy recuperation. The massive 15.7-inch rotors and multi-piston calipers have their work cut out for them, but they surely send more energy to the relatively small battery pack because of the M5's weight. Tacking on five or even 10 miles was easy in everyday driving, but especially on some fun roads high atop California's San Gabriel Mountains. With the M5's twin-turbo, 4.4-liter V8 and its AC electric motor attached to the transmission, combined output is rated at 717 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. These specs should equate to a thrilling overall driving experience. It does, yet it also doesn't. First, the good news: this thing is quite fast and a monster in the corners. It effortlessly pulled out of turns and down straightaways with confidence, and hitting 60 from a standstill takes just 3.4 seconds. It ripped down winding mountain roads with a surprising amount of agility for being on the wrong side of 2.5 tons, exhibiting little body roll and impressive cornering grip. Combine these together, and the M5 is probably one of a few new sedans that can properly give chase to any flavor of mid-engine supercar on a twisty road. Its steering ratio was quite good, albeit overall steering and chassis feel and communication were tremendously vague. There's a lot to like about the newest M5, especially in its corner-carving competence. Sadly, the whole experience wears off quickly. In the past, BMW has always been good at getting the sound right with its M cars; its performance-tuned inline-sixes have a quintessential angry howl, and its V8s make their presence known with a deep, bass-filled roar. No matter the exhaust setting (there's technically a quiet and a loud mode), the G90 M5 is simply too muffled, as if it's a subtle reminder that an engine is present, rather than being an active participant in the drama. Not only that, but doing a burnout is way too difficult to pull off when set to rear-wheel drive. As childish as this may sound, it's a key indicator of any performance car's personality. The previous, F90-generation BMW M5 practically demanded drivers light up its tires — this new model seemingly cowers in fear over the idea of spinning its 295-wide meats faster than necessary in a straight line. In light of these gripes, it may sound like the latest M5's overall tuning errs more on the side of comfort and restraint than ever before, but its ride quality tells a different story. Even in its most comfortable suspension mode, it's too rigid, and my tester produced some creaks over the Los Angeles Basin's worst stretches of urban blacktop. The F90 was far better in this department. On the one hand, the 2025 BMW M5 is a fascinating proposition. It has a chill PHEV / muscular sedan demeanor and squabs on twisty roads like nobody's business. But due to its lack of personality and rough ride quality, it feels like a step in the wrong direction. Then, there's the styling, which is questionable at best — like many other new BMWs, it's becoming harder and harder to chalk this up to acquired taste. The previous F90 generation was a masterclass in a big sedan that knows how to handle itself, always punching above its 4,300-lb curb weight. I was hoping for better in this latest model, but there's not enough for it to be a clear net positive. Photography by Peter Nelson / The Verge

Why You Can't Beat Light Weight

We've gotten really good at cheating physics. Even though cars are getting much heavier, the technology to hide their weight is getting much better. Adaptive and active suspensions, torque vectoring, electronic differentials, traction and stability controls, and ever-better brakes and tires all make cars seem so much lighter than they are. A new BMW M3 weighs around 4,000 pounds, but you wouldn't believe it by the way it flits into a corner on track. But, in my experience, you can't actually beat physics. We call them Newton's laws for a reason, and driving a truly lightweight car brings that into sharp focus. Welcome to The Rabbit Hole , a bi-weekly column where Senior Editor Chris Perkins explores his latest obsession with automotive technology. He speaks to the best in the business to understand how cars work and what the future of the automobile looks like. Photo by: Chris Perkins / Motor1 This car is truly lightweight. It's a 1966 Porsche 912 restored by the Hungarian company Kamm Manufaktur . Its founder, Miklós Kázmér, bought a 912 to do what many do with these cars—rip out the standard flat-four and put a hot-rod 911 engine in it. But the lower weight and better-balanced weight distribution of the four-cylinder 912 charmed him, and he wondered how far he could take one. The answer is 'very.' Kamm claims an astonishing 1,654 pounds for this 912C. That's around 700 pounds lighter than a new Miata, and this car is in something of a 'touring' specification, complete with electric air conditioning that works astonishingly well. The 'C' in 912C stands for carbon fiber, and most of this car's body is made from the stuff, all but the roof and rear fenders. Kamm will build you a full-carbon car, which knocks off an additional 100 pounds. 'I knew that from a 2.0-liter engine I won't be able to get humongous power without turbocharging,' Kázmér explains. 'So I had to reduce the weight.' Kázmér's not the first to face this problem. Every race-car constructor, when up against an effective power limit, has to look elsewhere for speed. Colin Chapman's obsession with weight savings came from not having access to the most powerful engines in the early days of Team Lotus. Photo by: Chris Perkins / Motor1 Two liters is about as big as you can go with a Porsche Type 616 flat-four before you end up with something that simply doesn't want to rev. Don't forget, this is a pushrod engine. Kamm's gone all out with this flat-four, with a claimed output of 190 horsepower at 6,800 revs, well over double that of the 90-hp original. It's got throttle bodies and a modern engine management system with two drive modes, normal, and "Drive Me Crazy," which sharpens the throttle map and opens up exhaust valves. It's a very powerful engine considering its roots, but it's also playing in a world where 911 restomods have well over 400 hp. To get the most out of the whole package, you need to cut weight. On an early summer day outside New York City, the thing that's immediately apparent with the 912C is the ride quality. That's, of course, by intention—Kázmér wanted something of a touring car, and the 912C features fancy electronically adjustable TracTive dampers—but it's also a natural byproduct of low weight. Engineers often talk about the virtuous cycle of reducing weight. Less weight means less work for the suspension, so you can use less spring, damper, and anti-roll bar. It also means you need less tire, which itself cuts weight and improves ride quality, and the same with brakes. The benefit of reducing weight compounds on itself. Photo by: Chris Perkins / Motor1 I took the 912 on roads I know well. These suburban country roads can get choked up with a bit of traffic, but they're not too far from New York City, and many have a fairly generous 55-mph speed limit. They're roads I've driven in my own car—a 2017 Volkswagen Golf GTI—friend's cars, and many loaners from automakers. No car with any sporting pretensions has made the bumps and imperfections here seem so insignificant. You get up to sections of road where you instinctively wince, knowing what it's going to feel like when you roll over. But there's no need in the 912C. Even with the adjustable dampers in their stiffer settings, it just sort of floats over them. This, I think, is where you really feel the difference. That M3 I mentioned at the start might often seem to defy its weight, and it's got nice damping, but it's stiff. You feel how much work the suspension is doing to keep the mass in control. Hell, even my GTI is not a heavy car, but it can't do what the 912C does. Fully active suspension systems like those from Ferrari and Porsche get a lot closer to what a truly lightweight car can do, but there are often moments when you feel the weight. Modern suspension, brakes, and tires do an extremely good job of controlling weight, but it's impossible to fully conceal. The first time I drove a Ferrari Purosangue, I was blown away by its incredible body control, and most of the time, I forgot I was in an SUV. But, under braking, you suddenly have the sense that you're in something very heavy, and that the car is doing a ton of work to control it. I had a similar sensation track testing a Taycan Turbo GT, but this might've been exaggerated from the unrelenting speed of that particular car. That moment never comes in a car like this. And it's not like the 912C is a slow thing either—the power-to-weight ratio is about the same as that of a Porsche 718 Cayman S. You wouldn't have trouble keeping up with a new Cayman, too, with the 195-section 200-treadwear Yokohama tires providing excellent grip, and oversized brakes bringing the 912C to a quick halt. Photo by: Chris Perkins / Motor1 Photo by: Chris Perkins / Motor1 Photo by: Chris Perkins / Motor1 Kamm's car shows off its lightweight bona fides proudly. The hood and front fenders have a beautiful transition between exposed glossy carbon fiber and paint that's so smooth you can't feel it by hand. The engine lid is held down by two motorsport-style catches, and its hinges are a beautiful drilled aluminum. There's no strut or anything to hold it up, either. Inside, there's gorgeous carbon-fiber trim for the bespoke door cards, dash, and seatbacks, but it's not spartan in here. There's also green leather in this particular car, and niceties like a hidden Bluetooth audio system, a wireless phone charger, and the previously mentioned A/C system. Of course, you'll have to pay very handsomely for this lightweight, €350,000 ($410,000) plus the cost of a donor car. Way too much money, unless you've got a very specific itch to scratch. Photo by: Chris Perkins / Motor1 But it is a thing to experience, and a good reminder of what weight savings can do for a car. It used to be easier to get a lightweight car. The original Mini weighed barely over 1,300 pounds, and that was considered a small family car. Now, a lightweight is a specialist sort of thing. You need a Miata, or if you're lucky enough to live where they're sold, an Alpine A110. Both are around 2,400 pounds, which, while low by today's standards, isn't anything like old-school lightweight, but both do have that wonderful fluidity of a true lightweight. All of these cars, from the $30,000 Miata to the $400,000-plus 912C, reveal an important truth—you can't outrun the law. Newton's laws, at least.
