BMW M5 F90

Mid-Size Sedan

Product Gallery

Product Overview

BMW M5 F90 is a high-performance executive sedan in production from 2017 to 2020, whereupon it received a facelift. It is powered by an S63 bi-turbo V8 paired with ZF 8HP automatic transmission and, for the first time in M5 history, AWD. The F90 M5 is based on the G30 5 Series.

The S63B44 engine found in the F90 is roughly the same found in the F10 M5, though BMW predictably increased the boost and squeezed out more power.

Unfortunately, the F90 M5 has notably more generic styling.

On the plus side, it uses, like the F10, double-wishbone + multi-link suspension setup for rather good handling.

External Reviews

Reviewer score 86% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autocar have found:

The M5 is a four-wheel-drive super saloon of amazing real-world pace, range and finesse. On the track and at the limit of its grip, meanwhile, the standout feature of the M5’s showing is how balanced, nuanced and interactive its handling is. The car is surefooted and supremely stable, hitting big speeds in the blink of an eye and ultimately making them feel small.

Pros

Superb handling
Impressive range
Superb infotainment system

Cons

Too many configurable systems
Not the most comfortable to drive

Reviewer score 78% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

The BMW M5 Competition demands a £6,500 premium over the standard M5. Externally, the car is identified by its gloss black badges and new 20-inch forged alloy wheels. Under the bonnet the familiar twin-turbo V8 is massaged to deliver 616bhp. While torque remains unchanged, the 750Nm peak is hardly soft.

Pros

Powerful V8
Comfortable ride
Impressive handling

Cons

A little fiddly at low speed
