I don’t understand this whatever happened to building a lightweight car with a lightweight, smaller engine, which people would have more fun with than trying to add more weight more horsepower.
Our 2022 X3 M40i.. it’s actually lightweight compared to this thing.. crazy! |

So I guess in theory, the new M5 could weigh something like 5,000 lbs and have 800 hp, until the battery dies. I know BMW has its magic and can transform how a car drives even it's heavy, but with my 2014 Grand Cherokee weighing like 4700 lbs, that's going to be tough, physics are physics.

Keeping an open mind here but damn, if you’re that chonky you might as well have gone full EV. Seems like worst of both worlds. Iirc the equivalent AMG GT hybrid has 830 hp and still wasn’t well received across the pond

I said this when it was first announced, and I'll say it again; just rip the bandage off and go full EV with it already. No hybrid, no dual-purpose ICE/EV chassis, just something designed from the ground up to be an EV. Patiently waiting for Neue Klasse whilst driving the last great M5 made (F90 M5C). I think you mean X Plaid, but whatever. I'd take a Model S Plaid over this monstrosity any day of the week. |

Correct me if I’m wrong but BMW has never made an M (or any model for that matter) car that was slower than its predecessor.
Sure it’s a pig but it won’t be a slow one.

530i xDrive (B48) -- 4158 lbs 540i xDrive (B58) -- 4370 lbs 550e (B58 hybrid) -- 4916 lbs i5 M60 - 5247 lbs 2023 g30 540i xDrive -- either 4050 or 4138 lbs (seeing both of these figures?) F90 comp -- 4370 lbs Guessing maybe +300 lbs from one gen to next in general, and +600 more for a hybrid setup. The M5 has a slightly smaller battery than the 550e (18.6 vs 19.4 kWh) and I assume a bigger motor. XM and 550e both have the motor integrated with the AT. Seems they didn't do anything drastic (or even mild, maybe...) to compensate and cut weight compared to last gen. I don't actually have a point here, just had some pot and now thinking out loud.

Setting aside the weight, the proportions are a big concern for me. The G60 is already super big and this is even bigger. At what point do we stop calling it a 5 series?
