The G90 BMW M5 was recently launched, and while it's impressive in many aspects, its design and weight are less than ideal. Along with the M8, the M5 was one of the few BMWs that held onto the beloved F-generation BMW design language, making its departure all the more disappointing. That's one reason to consider buying the F90 M5, specifically the 2019 BMW M5. But there's more to it than just power and good looks. It's incredibly fast and luxurious, excellently balancing both. Versatility is another key strength, and if BMW had offered a wagon version like they are now doing with the G90, a considerable percentage of buyers would have gone for it. So, just how fast is the 2019 BMW M5?
Every generation of the M5 has outperformed the last. The E39 set a high standard, but the E60 M5 raised the bar even with its troublesome V10. The F10 brought the 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8, now a cornerstone of BMW's larger M cars. In the 2019 BMW M5, it makes 600 horsepower and 553 lb.ft. That's enough to send it to 60 mph from a standstill in 2.8 seconds to a top speed of 163 mph. That's higher than most BMW M cars, which top out at 155 mph, but with that amount of power, BMW should have made the M Driver's package standard, which pushes the top speed to 180 mph. Nonetheless, these are more than decent enough performance figures for a sedan, let alone one that weighs roughly 4,300 pounds.
Inside, the 2019 BMW M5 is luxurious in material and rich in ambiance. Entering into one blindfolded will make you think you're in a business sedan. Still, it won't be long before you notice the M stitching on the leather seats, plus carbon fiber and aluminum-themed accents that give the cabin a sporty character. The seating space is impressive, with enough room for five, in the traditional three in the rear and two in the front. Amenities are excellent as well as BMW included seat heating, a memory function, and electric multi-adjustability for the driver's and front passenger's seats. Some examples will have similar amenities for the rear plus a massaging function which buyers could get for all seats.
The 2019 BMW M5 has a sleek and low-key powerful look. At first glance, it might not seem like a high-performance car, but if you look closer, you can see the sporty details. The front bumper is low to the ground, there are big air intakes, and the grille is blacked out. The rear end adopts a similar aggressive but refined aesthetic that's not overly cluttered. The only drawback is the pre-LCI taillights, which don't quite complement the car's personality. The same goes for the headlights. Both were updated in 2020, and if you're looking to upgrade, it's an easy plug-and-play swap.
The 2019 BMW M5 offers solid equipment and practicality, but its true flexibility shines in the driving modes. 4WD is the standard, everyday mode. It is suitable if you don't want to push the car to its limits or prefer a more controlled driving feel if you're dailying the car. 4WD Sport is a more engaging mode that allows more spirited driving and can also be used for everyday driving. 2WD is the most fun of the three as it only allows the engine to send power to the rear wheels. In addition to those driving modes, you get Eco Pro, Comfort, Sport and Sport +. You can use these to further customize the throttle response, braking feel, transmission shifts, and suspension settings.
