Reviews SummaryNow 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 25 miles, 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. | |
