Why you’d want one

  • A rapid all-weather performance saloon.

Know before you buy

  • Hot-vee turbo heat ages hoses, seals and coil packs
  • Oil consumption should be checked on early engines
  • High brake and tyre running costs

Commonly reported ownership points, not a guarantee of faults. Always get an independent inspection.

The story

An M5 with two driven axles.

The F90 brings M xDrive to the M5 story. A twin-turbo V8 and an all-wheel-drive system turn the familiar four-door shape into a very different proposition from the rear-drive F10.

Best for

A rapid all-weather performance saloon.

Trade-off

Size, tyres and running costs deserve attention.

M xDrive is part of this M5’s identity, rather than a different engine family.

Under the bonnet

Torque across the rev range.

BMW rates the 2018 US M5 at 600 hp and 553 lb-ft. M xDrive sends that torque through a configurable all-wheel-drive system. These figures do not describe every F90 special edition.
