2021 BMW M5 Competition review – why it has one huge flaw

Great review. Do you know what the colour is as it looks amazing?

The flaw is that it's not priced like a Dacia Sandero.

What car do you drive Tim?

Been lucky enough to test drive an early 21 plate and a 22 plate competition and difference in comfort was significant also with fully optioned seats was able to adjust head piece

question tim? nice content btw but if you had a choice would you purchase the standard M5 or the Competition version and what about the Audi RS7s? In the market for a new ride and trying to decide.

I’ve had two M5s in the past, but the latest one for me is a little too much. Prefer the M550i. 95% of the capability without the attitude.

tou are not a good driver

Hi Tim, awesome review.

The part where you made that funny face after saying that the back monitors could be used to turn the traction control off? Pure gold.
That's what made me subscribe. Lol.

Keep up the awesome work.
I also liked your E39 M5 review. Can you do an E39 530i review please? The 530i had a better feeling steering because its a traditional rack and pinion setup whereas the V8 540i and M5 had recirculating ball, which is why u felt the dull steering.

Would love to know what u think of the 530i with the better steering but about half the power of the M5.

Cheers!

The fact kids can control the traction settings is stupid. Just got an f10 myself. I feel like the new car is a different thing entirely.

That’s funny. You guys all bitch about the M3 grille and now you’re out bitching about the M5 grille. Lol. Perhaps the BMW design engineers should just blow their freaking brains out at this stage of the game.

M5 vs RS6 vs E63 - if it was YOUR money which would it be? Was always a big M5 fan but compared to the Audi and Merc it just doesn't "look" as good - and I HATE the "sticky-up" screens!!

120 grand for an M5??? That's a bit dear innit

Will Tim be a prime minister, a king, or emperor?

they arent head rests and they do move up and down

The head rests do move up and down chap

No flaws, pure joy period.

What is the one big flaw ?. Also, the firm suspension, is in the title of the car, Competition. The headrest does go up and down too.

Quality review

Not gonna lie, I'd have had brown trousers with them squirms lol.

Depreciation, is what you get for £120k ! Nice review BTW.

Always love your real world reviews Timothy. 👍

Taycan surely is a much better choice.

Also that headrest screams whiplash.

Please get better microphones. Please please please.

My Dad took me for a ride in an E28 M5 in 1986. My young mind was blown 🤯

I’ve not been in ANY since and have always wondered ‘what if’
I’ve always lacked the gumption to buy one with my own money 🧐

Nice car, but the CS is nicer so I want that. Now, why did you reference a plane taxiing? No one can remember what that’s like!

Anyway, let’s get to the real question - what should the treble and bass be set to?! I start with 20% up on both and work from there. I’d like to know what kind of mad person goes to max on both!?

So it's limits are way to high? Maybe lobby BMW to do a M5- with 195/50/16 tires. Enjoyed this, thanks!

This is still the best German super saloon car. Good to see BMW back on form. Although their marketing kids are terrible!

Gone are the days where an M5 cost £60k. Never liked BMW's... But if people will pay that price, then a company will sell it at that price.

The m550i is probably the better option, because it’s cheaper and more suitable for everyday use because it’s more comfortable. And it’s still pretty much as fast as the real M5.
