Hmmm, makes me think the F90 is going to go up in value. Just my humble opinion.

designers looked for inspiration, looked at the E60 and thought to themselves… “mmmm very nice”.

the G90 is not THE ugliest M car in the world but it’s definitely trying to compete in that catergory with the E60 M5.

that being said, i’d still rock the touring because wagon and idgaf about anything else. fingers crossed they sell well enough that there are enough in the used market a few years from now and they’ll actually be somewhat affordable to normal people.

They managed to make it even LOOK heavy. Honestly, it looks like a cheaper version of the F90. Definitely a step backwards.

I had honestly thought I may trade in my M3 CS for a touring version, but not with these specs.

5,300 pounds, weighs more than an X5 and it’s slower than an F90 to 60. I like how it looks, but, with 717hp, I want it to be faster than a M5CS.

Yea I expected at least 2.9 but tough with all that extra weight. I guess we will have to wait for a few test run reviews.

I saw a quick short with Joe Achilles, and he seemed to think the car had brutal acceleration and was pleasantly surprised. But, I also think he was at a BMW sponsored event.

I’m a fan and my guess is that it is much quicker than the “advertised” 3.5 seconds. Joe’s driving reactions are pretty fun….giddy as a little school boy!

I think this new version will energize M5 sales. Looking forward to sales statistics (if reported separately).

Amazing color.

This car is going to be faster than 3.5s 0-60. And I'd be modifying it anyway.

Lmaooooooo

It looks like an M2 that has been taking massive doses of HGH.

The wrap around on the rear tails looks like a merc too. Gross.

Not a big fan of a plugin hybrid. Hope that not all M cars follow this lead.

It would seem with the regulations coming in around the world, they won’t have a choice, it’ll either be hybrid or full EV.

The F90 interior holds it back severely at this class and the G90 makes it even more painfully obvious. The G90 is closer to a 7 meanwhile the F90 is basically an F30 interior. It's getting old fast in my eyes especially after the release videos. Close to trading it in for an F95 and getting a G90 next year or the year after. The F90 was a major step down from my F85 on the interior with the cheap fake carbon trim and the awful B&W sound system. I'm convinced the system is using budget speakers with B&W logos. The B&O on the F85 was astonishing.

Rant over.

IMO.. It kinda looks like a M5 with a X6 front end!! lol 🤬

On another note.. I’m sure the performance will be unrivaled. The M5 will always be the king of the saloon racers!! 😊👍

More often than not, I wonder, what was BMW thinking?

2025 BMW M5 Has Up To 25 Miles Of Electric Range And A Big Weight Problem
Despite being more powerful than before, the first-ever plug-in hybrid BMW M5 is slower to 60 mph than its predecessor.
Coming to the United States later this year, the brand-new German uber-sedan promises an “unfiltered performance experience,” but we can’t help but notice that even with all the weight savings mentioned in the official press release–like a plastic oil pan, among other things–the 2025 M5 is still a whopping 1,000 pounds heavier than the previous generation.
Tipping the scales at a generous 5,390 pounds, the seventh-gen BMW M5 has a total system output of 717 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. This makes it 117 hp more powerful and 185 lb-ft more torquey than its predecessor but despite this, the zero to 60 miles per hour time is 3.4 seconds, two-tenths of a second slower than the old one.
Moving on to more electrifying stuff, that 14.8-kWh battery pack bolted into the floor provides up to 25 miles of all-electric range and can be topped up using a Level 2 charger at a rate of up to 7.4 kW, according to BMW. It can also be charged while driving using the eControl driving mode. Meanwhile, the car defaults to the Hybrid mode every time you start it, giving access to the full system output. Switching to Comfort mode instructs the PHEV system to call on the electric motor more often, while the Electric mode switches off the V-8 completely, as long as there’s enough juice in the battery to propel the car.
The 2025 BMW M5 will start at $120,675 (including destination) in the United States. Production will begin in July at BMW’s plant in Dingolfing, Germany, with global deliveries slated for November.

Here's a thought: Leave this turkey in Europe and send us the 3 and M3 Estate in it's place.
