Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Demanding drivers: 1st of 32 in 0–100 km/h (3.3 s), 1st of 32 in Power-to-weight (335 hp/t). 1st of 32 in 0–100 km/h (3.3 s), 1st of 32 in Power-to-weight (335 hp/t).

Less suitable for

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.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is Top speed, the BMW 540d xDrive (1st with 250 km/h) takes the lead.

Acceleration: 3.3 s 0-100 (1st of 32 in 0–100 km/h)

In pure acceleration, the M5 Competition ranks 1st of 32 in 0–100 km/h, 0.0 s off the reference BMW M5 Competition (3.3 s).

Top speed: 250 km/h (12th of 32 in Top speed)

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

BMW M5 Competition: 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 Competition rank in its segment?

Among the 32 grand tourers 2016–2020, the M5 Competition ranks 1st of 32 in 0–100 km/h (3.3 s, behind the BMW M5 Competition), 12th of 32 in Top speed (250 km/h, behind the BMW 540d xDrive), 1st of 32 in Power-to-weight (335 hp/t, behind the BMW M5 Competition).

How much does the M5 Competition cost to run?

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

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.
