Caralogy Verdict

Suitable for

Demanding drivers: 5th of 35 in 0–100 km/h (3.4 s), 9th of 35 in Top speed (250 km/h), 5th of 35 in Power-to-weight (317 hp/t). 5th of 35 in 0–100 km/h (3.4 s), 9th of 35 in Top speed (250 km/h), 5th of 35 in Power-to-weight (317 hp/t).

Less suitable for

Frequent urban trips with stop-and-go. At 10,6 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.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the Bmw M5 CS (1st with 3.0 s) takes the lead. If the priority is Top speed, the Bmw M5 CS (1st with 305 km/h) takes the lead.

Acceleration: 3.4 s 0-100 (5th of 35 in 0–100 km/h)

In pure acceleration, the M5 ranks 5th of 35 in 0–100 km/h, 0.4 s off the reference Bmw M5 CS (3.0 s).

Top speed: 250 km/h (9th of 35 in Top speed)

Top speed of 250 km/h. The segment reference reaches 305 km/h.

Frequently asked questions

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 35 grand tourers 2018–2022, the M5 ranks 5th of 35 in 0–100 km/h (3.4 s, behind the Bmw M5 CS), 9th of 35 in Top speed (250 km/h, behind the Bmw M5 CS), 5th of 35 in Power-to-weight (317 hp/t, behind the Bmw M5 CS).

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 CS instead?#

The Bmw M5 CS leads in 0–100 km/h (3.0 s vs 3.4 s). The choice depends on your priorities: check the M5 vs Bmw M5 CS 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.
