New BMW M5 Review: Why does everyone hate it?

“Meet the 2026 BMW M5 — the sedan that just redefined what a luxury performance car can be. With over 700 horses under the hood and a hybrid heart beating beneath its aggressive skin, this might be the ultimate executive sport-sedan you’ve been waiting for.”



“Under the hood, the 2026 M5 pairs a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 with an electric motor — producing a combined output of around 717 horsepower and up to 738 lb-ft of torque.

That kind of power sends you from 0 to 60 mph in roughly 3.4 seconds.

And with BMW’s xDrive all-wheel drive, it’s not just about straight-line speed — it sticks and grips even when you push hard.”

“The 2026 M5 wears a bolder, more aggressive look than ever. Its widened arches, sharp body lines, and sporty stance give a muscular yet sophisticated vibe.

Available carbon-fiber touches — roof, mirror caps, rear spoiler — add to both aesthetic and performance by reducing weight.


And the lighting: LED headlamps and signature M-design cues make the M5 unmistakable — even at night.”

“Inside, the 2026 M5 balances sportiness with premium comfort. You get well-bolstered M multifunction seats with lots of adjustability, plush upholstery, and a driver-first cockpit vibe.

Infotainment, digital displays, and connectivity through BMW’s systems make sure this car is as smart as it is powerful.

Long drives? No problem. The M5 is refined enough for daily commuting or highway cruising — while still being a beast when you want to unleash it.”

“The M5’s plug-in hybrid powertrain offers a modern twist — combining brutal V8 performance with hybrid efficiency.
