1. Dialled up to 11: The BMW M5 Competition
What do Bimmer fans dream of when they lie down to sleep? The meticulously-designed and face-melting fast BMW M5 competition, quite possibly.
"Those in the know will immediately identify the F90 M5 as being just that, an M5. For the layman though, the G30 5 Series doesn't make a song and dance about its lineage or capabilities. It does what it needs to do in the most undercover way possible", writes Chad, who spent a joyful week with this "business athtlete".
2. New vs. used BMW M5: What are the top 10 differences?
Find out what the main differences in styling and tech between the previous and new models. Did you know that in South Africa, only Competition models can be had? Because South African M5 buyers want nothing but the best!
3. Is the BMW M5 good for families?
"Does the latest M5, with its monstrous turn of speed, still suit the needs of a family?"
This is the question posed by Martin who assesses the pros and cons of having the M5 as a daily drive. How well will it fit in with your family's lifestyle, or should you rather opt for a sporty SUV? Find out about safety features, comfort, and more importantly, boot space.
4. BMW M5 xDrive - The legacy continues (launch report, 2018)
"The latest incarnation of the M5 has just landed on our shores and we had the pleasure of driving this new version at the only location that could illustrate its power, handling and speed: a race track. Not just any racetrack though, Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit. The long straights and tight corners were the perfect host to show off the new M5’s prowess." Lawrence attended the M5 track day and went tearing around Kyalami in this coveted car, making the rest of us at Team AutoTrader very jealous, indeed!
5. BMW M550i xDrive is the 1st M Performance V8, and quicker than previous M5
"With its abundant torque reserves and high-revving characteristics, the V8 power unit serves up a blend of supreme performance, wonderfully precise driving dynamics and uncompromized everyday usability. This all helps the new BMW M550i xDrive to set the pace in its segment and turn the drive into an exhilarating experience." A must-read, if you're looking for a used M5!
