    Pros & Cons

    Pros:

    The BMW M5 plug-in hybrid combines a 4.4L twin-turbo V8 with an electric motor, producing 535 kW (717 hp) and 1000 Nm of torque. It accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 3.5 seconds, making it one of the fastest luxury performance sedans.
    BMW’s xDrive AWD system provides excellent traction, but drivers can switch to rear-wheel drive mode, giving the BMW M5 the traditional enthusiast-focused driving experience.
    With a 14.8 kWh battery, the BMW M5 offers 69 km of electric-only driving range, allowing short commutes without fuel consumption. This feature makes the BMW M5 more versatile than traditional high-performance sedans.
    The BMW M5 interior features premium Merino leather, customizable ambient lighting, heated and ventilated sport seats, and advanced driver assistance systems, blending performance with daily usability.
    Equipped with BMW’s iDrive 8.5 system, a curved dual display (12.3-inch driver and 14.9-inch infotainment), wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and a premium Bowers & Wilkins audio system, the BMW M5 stands out in tech.
    Wider, lower, and more muscular than before, the BMW M5 has an illuminated kidney grille, sharp LED headlights, and quad exhausts. The optional carbon package (roof, mirrors, spoiler) adds a sporty touch while reducing weight.
    Despite its performance, the BMW M5 sedan offers a spacious cabin, rear-wheel steering for better maneuverability, and a usable 16.5 cubic feet of trunk space (or more in the M5 Touring wagon variant).

    Cons:

    At nearly 2,450 kg (5,400 lbs), the BMW M5 is significantly heavier than older models due to the plug-in hybrid system, affecting agility compared to its predecessors.
    When the battery is depleted, the BMW M5 returns only about 12 L/100 km in the city and 17 L/100 km on the highway, making it less efficient than some rivals unless regularly charged.
    With a starting price of CAD $152,490, the BMW M5 is costly, especially once optional packages like the carbon fiber or executive package are added.
    Unlike some competitors, the BMW M5 does not offer massaging seats or soft-close doors, which buyers may expect in a flagship luxury performance sedan.
    The BMW M5’s iDrive 8.5 infotainment and customizable M1/M2 driving modes offer many features but can feel overwhelming and less intuitive compared to simpler setups in rivals.
