The BMW M5 series has been around for quite some time. The latest generation is however, a sight to behold. It is drenched in beauty. It drips elegance. It exudes confidence. It is a master on the road. You only need to look at its performance, infotainment and other key features to realize why the car is irresistible. First off, it accelerates with unbridled ferocity, thanks to its twin turbo v8 designed to uncork 600 plus horsepower. Note that the car is an all-wheel drive so when you step on the gas pedal, you send power to four different parts. You end up cruising at 60 kph in less than 5 seconds.
Then there is the 2020 Tesla Roadster which is allegedly the M5’s main competitor. It is a good car but one does not need to go far especially in terms of performance to see why it easily losses out to the M5.
Design & Style
It is a beast. It is a machine, yes. You cannot take away though the fact that it is a one of a kind machine and beast with a fine touch of comfort, class and elegance. An optimized driving sitting position, customizable ambient interior lighting, a heated steering wheel and ventilated front seats are just some of the extras the M5 has to offer. Its interior storage is also something else – the trunk can easily hold up to six carry on suitcases.
It is sizeable to say the least. Not much has been written about its design and style though. You can’t help but notice though that it yet another sporty car aiming at buyers with luxury in mind. It does not inspire much especially for buyers who are keen on space.
Technology & Safety
You know you’re driving a good car when the manufacturer makes deliberate efforts to guarantee your safety. That’s exactly what BMW did with the M5 series. It features innovative technological features like lane departure warning, lane keeping assist and adaptive cruise control. The car simply makes you feel safe even if you’re just starting out on driving. It even gets better with other safety features like forward collision warning and automated emergency braking.
It is worth noting that the 2020 Tesla Roadster is still a concept. Much of what is available is not something experts can write about with certainty and precision. To that end, the M5 clearly holds a candle to Tesla’s 2020 Roadster.
Performance
Put the 4.4 liter v8 twin turbo engine with 600 horsepower coupled with 553 lb-ft horsepower on hold for a second. The 2020 MS is more than that. The car is super-fast. It can launch to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds. It is quicker than all the other previous M5 models. Remember you get to choose different driving modes. There is for instance, the comfort mode which is strange for the model but as strange as it sounds it is a quiet yet powerful driving mode. It guarantees placid cruising in a whisper quiet cabin!
The Bottom Line
Much has been said and written about the 2020 M5 series. One thing’s for sure though. It always delivers. It has the speed, it boasts of a performance you will without a doubt love and most importantly, it incorporates reliable safety features. You will find it hard, if not impossible to resist.
