Caralogy Methodology
Performance (0-100, top speed) simulated by the Caralogy physics engine (SCx, Crr, real torque curves). Motorway consumption values estimated from the manufacturer WLTP cycle.

Demanding drivers: 3rd of 32 in 0–100 km/h (3.4 s), 7th of 32 in Top speed (250 km/h), 3rd of 32 in Power-to-weight (322 hp/t). 3rd of 32 in 0–100 km/h (3.4 s), 7th of 32 in Top speed (250 km/h), 3rd of 32 in Power-to-weight (322 hp/t).
Frequent urban trips with stop-and-go. At 10,8 L/100 km on the combined cycle, consumption rises in the city without electric assistance. An HEV or PHEV would be more economical for this use profile.
If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the BMW M5 Competition (1st with 3.3 s) takes the lead. If the priority is Top speed, the BMW 540d xDrive (1st with 250 km/h) takes the lead.
Acceleration: 3.4 s 0-100 (3rd of 32 in 0–100 km/h)
In pure acceleration, the M5 ranks 3rd of 32 in 0–100 km/h, 0.1 s off the reference BMW M5 Competition (3.3 s).
Top speed: 250 km/h (7th of 32 in Top speed)
Top speed of 250 km/h. The segment reference reaches 250 km/h.

BMW M5: what you need to know
Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.
Where does the M5 rank in its segment?
Among the 32 grand tourers 2016–2020, the M5 ranks 3rd of 32 in 0–100 km/h (3.4 s, behind the BMW M5 Competition), 7th of 32 in Top speed (250 km/h, behind the BMW 540d xDrive), 3rd of 32 in Power-to-weight (322 hp/t, behind the BMW M5 Competition).
How much does the M5 cost to run?
Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.
Why not a BMW M5 Competition instead?
The BMW M5 Competition leads in 0–100 km/h (3.3 s vs 3.4 s). The choice depends on your priorities: check the M5 vs BMW M5 Competition duel for a detailed comparison.
How does Caralogy calculate its figures?
Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
