BMW M5 700 mile review - Auto Express

[mission730]

Great review but leave the music out.

[Chappo5150]

Exhaust note sounds like ARSE!

[kedde1]

Dafuq did he just do with the fillercap, put it in the slot and not let it bang around on the paint!

[Duron13]

From 3:00 to 3:20 Mat is in Bordeaux, France.

Ok nobody cares but since it's where I live I was surprised to recognize the city. :D

[baujahr90er]

great reviewer really

[charliepioneer]

ill take a V over this

[Cellsolid]

Matt u r cool reviewer, keep it up dude!

[kswole008]

3:06 that's awesome building to the left! Is it residential?

[ronstarm3]

Does anyone else cringe @ 5:22. Complete disregard for the M5's paintwork :(

[Phungurific]

is that google map at 4:09 ?

[JordanJumpin]

hes hot

[AsylumPC]

Don't let the gas cap dangle on the paint man! Use the holder on the fuel door!

[kr0pp]

why have 520d AND 1m when you can have 2 in 1 with m5 :)

[kswole008]

117 Euros to fill?! I will never bitch about gas prices in American again...

[NinjTwo]

@kswole008 Filling my car (BMW 850, 90l tank) from bottom to top, is ~170 euros.

[kswole008]

@NinjTwo 8 series nice! V12? Americans would absolutely riot if gas cost that much. I never realized it was that much more expensive in Europe. 

[MrHilariushiiri]

@kswole008 Yeah be happy, here in finland 1 gallon cost 6,4 euros

[shsh89]

There you are Matt...now i can stop searching for you!

[cheaniggachea]

the hell is at that at the end... some train for cars?

[MrVideeeooo]

@cheaniggachea it's the Eurotunnel lol!

[MrVideeeooo]

Mat NEEDS to be the next new Top Gear presenter!!!

[kanche8]

@MrVideeeooo agree!!!

[john4short]

@MrVideeeooo Be careful what you wish for .. I wish those three guys never leave Top Gear ... This guy is no where near them ...

[MrVideeeooo]

@john4short is that so? Well to say Mat is pretty much half the age of them lot I think he'd be pretty good on there in a few years! His presenting style is to the point, fun and he's likeable :) and that's coming from a massive Top Gear fan.

[stephanoya]

Go back to carbuyer...



[samanferrari]

comparison vid: This VS 2012 cls 63

[dilawer321]

This guy is ment to be a car reviewer and he doesnt know you should let a turbo car run for a bit before you drive it, lol feel sorry for whoever buys this car unless the turbo goes before the warranty runs out

[decadence80]

What kinda watch is that your wearing Mat?

[beachbum0014]

There you are, Mat!

[SwPiotrek]

Great review Matt!

[romy05y]

Hi's no fun for Top Gear.

Is not a Clio, you are supposed to have some fun, make a little show with the car. Very poor review. M1+525 instead of M5, you joking :)

[ClintWestmetal88]

@romy05y You have no idea what you're talking about.

[spinixDH]

1:27 watch the van trying to pass the BMW

Van guy: come on! move that piece of (...) out of my way!!

[anurek123]

hey i found MaTTT!! :D

[dennis57980]

Mat you are the top reviewer in car buyer and not only.But Rebbeca is now a breath away from you.So if you want your loyal crowd you better go back to carbuyer!

[MrArt69]

Fuel cap has a place to put it not against the paint!

Thats not a english car, things are well made!

[vecernicek2]

What is the music from 5:17 on? Really brilliant.. Thanks

[krunal467]

I want the V10 back in the ///M5 and the V8 back in the ///M3 instead of the V8 & V6 respectively!

[Wash9102]

@krunal467 You don't know what engine the F10 series M3 will house, and I'm pretty sure it won't be a V6 either. BMWs are known for their inline 6 cylinder engines.

[krunal467]

@Wash9102 I am pretty sure it will have a V6 because I saw the video of it......

[Wash9102]

@krunal467 You realise BMW have never made a V6 engine?

[carrot5000]

@Wash9102 The new M3 maybe a V6 though ;(

[krunal467]

@Wash9102 Dude, go to sleep man... You need a break!

[artvertex]

This guy is seriously a good reviewer.

[curlysyim]

Matt go back to carbuyer!

[Siper2]

Great review, as always Mat!

[chaoticterror]

The transition is the cheesiest thing ever.

[Tapphthan]

SHIT, I LOVE THIS CAR!!

[timothyln12]

Mat I found you!!! Why'd u leave carbuyer?

[PaperWeight231]

@timothyln12 he hasn't left

[cechchelsea09]

1M+535d=M5

[jonathangandy]

Great point at the end. I'd get a 1M and a 520d for the same money as one M5 any day!

[NickJayKay]

Did he just drive onto a train at the end!?

[AutoBahnForever]

@NickJayKay ........Exactly, it is the auto carrier for the Channel Tunnel or Chunnel train from Calais, France to some small town outside of London. It is called the Eurostar............bad ass fast and not particularly cheap.

[chrisman324]

man...I understand how we all have our own different tastes, but it hurts to see an M5 that's not a 6-speed manual. All that's doing it providing statistics to BMW saying that less and less people are actually buying 6-speed manuals which would equate to removing the manual as an option in the years to come. You can't even get 535s with a manual anymore...would hate to see this happen to the M5.

[sunnyfong68]

nice to see you again on Youtube Mat!

[TheFerruccio]

28.8 MPG, probably imperial gallons, so, around 24 mpg US. To give a good comparison, a BMW 540i can manage the same figures but it has half the horsepower and weighs less. This is very impressive, indeed.

[Mejevoli]

Looks like an m3 :/ oh well :P

[ibzi1982]

at 5.22 the geezer getsa to the pump to fill up. Had the prick paid th 80 odd thousand for the car he Wouldn't have just tossed the petrol cap against the body work. I mean doesn't he even know where the fuel cap is supposed to sit while u tank up.

[MrRiddicules]

the final sentence says it all :)

[200208195]

@MrRiddicules Yes and no. The M5 has a higher finish quality and is more comfortable than the 1 M coupe and the 520d, also, you don't need to run home after dropping the kids off at school before heading off to the hills/track/where ever.

That said, if you wanted to run home all the time, be my guest.

[MrRiddicules]

@200208195 well, I am a huge fan of the 5 series, but I simply feel that they are too big, to comfortable, to quiet, to distant,...for a truly sporty/fun feel. They are, however at home on long trips, highways and even on the occasional twisty road. But I simply don't see the point in having 500 + horsepower in a car of this type and would prefer two cars in my stable: a comfy limousine and a sporty little devil :D

but that's just me :)

[200208195]

@MrRiddicules No harm in that. I'm not gonna tell you how to live your life. However, the M5 is like no other 5 series. I can only base my statement off the E60 M5 vs the E60 530i, and there is a huge difference. Regarding the F10 M5, some say it feels like a completely different model, completely unrelated.

Then again, I'd say most who can afford an F10 M5 can afford to buy "a sporty little devil" as well.

[rohanuva]

wow thanks Matt, I've been waiting for this review for a very long time!

[aggelosdan]

Nice review ....

[ross46x]

Great

[lawlbiker]

this is my dream car. It kills me watching this

[VojtaVydra]

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice job, nice work, nice... everything.

[eugn86]

Wow very impressive review!

[lcsxwtian]

Richard Hammond you've got a successor!

[yogobogo]

Great review! 

[kashi411]

NOT QUITE AS FUN AS A 1seriesM???!!!! Is this guy serious :/

[gmax876]

I converted euros to US dollars and it cost this guy $224 US to fill up this car OUCH! Thats how much I pay for 2 months of worth of gas for my ACURA TL. Nice car though, better have a high rollers bank roll.

[lasercombo]

@gmax876 thats cos fuel in US is dirt cheap, relatively... and everyone is still grumbling about it.

[6alalio]

So would you rather an M5 or a 1M AND a 523i?

[drcashier]

Love the video, I wish you could do more of these.

[Fedotdotdot]

Great job Matt

[killkaveh]

Looks like such a fun trip

[alantdavey]

Woohoo ! Bordeaux ! (@ 3:00)

[daniope]

Mat, the problem is you cannot drive M1 and 520d at the same time.

[qwerty96cr]

another good review, but I would rather have the new M550D, part if the new M range, with a tri turbo engine!!

[lexusfan100]

nice vid..u should also show more of the city driving

[khunopie]

that was boring. 

[venom5809]

For those that do not know, the gas mileage shown here is not the same as US gas mileage. That is the Euro cycle. It is much lower when translated for the US.

So don't get excited, a V8 560 hp BMW is not getting the same gas mileage as a 4 cylinder Ford Fusion. lol

[Charles2337]

Only in Europe where driving an hour will take you to ANOTHER COUNTRY. lol

An hour drive in Canada is just to the next major city.

[archstanton82]

nice one matt

[radar3699]

AMAZING CAR.

[y571]

umm now i understand why Europeans keep complaining about cars having a soft suspension .. you have more curved than straight roads

[Digi20]

@y571 that comment made me lauigh..yes, we do actually :D

[Pezdetz666]

DO European gas stations not have automatic pumps? Here in the US with most pumps you just stick it in and an adapter compresses to tell the pump it's in, then you click the trigger, lock it into place and when the spout senses back pressure from the filled tank, it just clicks the trigger lock and off it goes.

Looks like he actually had to stand there and hold it and make sure he got the right amount of fuel?

[QQuaeE]

@Pezdetz666 of course the gas stations have automatic pumps

BUT the gas price is more expensive here .. x_x

[dannykhoo]

moar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kamixaki]

Thats gtr money heck noo!!

[mojojojo911]

its depressing that i cant even afford the fuel bill for this car on a regular basis...

I need a better job!

[nyyankeefanforlife]

my friend's gm acadia only gets like 20 and its a v6 :(

[nyyankeefanforlife]

28 mpg??? r u serious? thats amazing, lol.

[Karmakameleeon]

hmm get a 5 series diesel and a 1 m coupe... that sounds interesting

[venom5809]

Dude what the hell you were supposed to call me, I had my bags packed and was all excited to drive the M5. Damn you Mat.

[00kirbyd]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[rattyts]

damnnn

[beatbox1919]

@Riiiisc I think he said 170 euros..

[Riiiisc]

@beatbox1919 oww my bad! Will delete the comment!

[beatbox1919]

@Riiiisc its all good. it did sound 117 as well but yeah 170 is expensive. thats like $200+ -.- I cant afford that. haha

[cstm39]

@beatbox1919 he said 117

[elgi131]

great review



[camryt]

I still think it doesn't sound very good.

[ffdaasssd]

Nice video , Just for info

in greece , it costs ~ 170 euro to full it :p

[GrotrianSeiler]

Always a great review. Mat, you have a very appealing way about you. But...you do look a bit out of place in this rig, it being a $100K car (in the States anyway). Must be nice being you, on that day for sure. I hope that some who buy this machine use it to its potential; but I guess that's highly unlikely. Carry on.

[tdreamgmail]

€170?! u filled up at the wrong station Matt!! :)

[ffdaasssd]

@tdreamgmail 117€ :p

[luladavid]

Matt, I have a question; Are these shifters as fun as a manual gearbox? Do they have a similar feeling of control? I always found ATs too numb to drive in a more engaging way, even in manual mode. (But I like it in city traffic)

[EddiesCinema]

whats that thing at the end?

[RandomnessRICKY]

@EddiesCinema A train, specially made for cars.

[EddiesCinema]

@RandomnessRICKY really, that sick!

[RandomnessRICKY]

@EddiesCinema yep lol. its used to cross the border in Europe.

[x3roluv]

That's the sad thing about these cars...those who really deserve them end up just dreaming about them. Their owners will spend days in cities going about at 20mph and never unleash their full potential.

[dvcbuis]

@x3roluv but what makes u 'deserve' them ? cause u are able to ride them faster? because u will drive em more fast on the public roads? because u go to a trackday more often? dont forget that bmw's are about best of both worlds: theyre really fast on the track but also very practical so dont hate on ppl driving em in the cities.... for all u know they go to the nurburgring every weekend.

[x3roluv]

@dvcbuis People who 'deserve' them are those who can appreciate them. If someone goes to the ring once a year, he DOES appreciate his BMW M car even if the rest of the year he bearly goes over 20mph. As you said they're the best of both worlds and its the type of car that you'll happily drive hundreds of miles in to get to a track.

I'm talking about ppl who will store it in a garage for months without end and those who moan about its 'bloody complicated computer'. All they need is a 520d

[fransarj]

Dont use. cruise control and you'll get better mileage

[XSunacX]

170€????

whatta rip off!!! -.-

[ukraina95]

no bottles????

[69mrbrightside691]

that 4.4 figure is a conservative joke, its been recorded to do 3.7 to 60 mph with the launch control, thats crazy!

[tobster09]

Oi Mat! Get your arse back to Carbuyer!!!

[JELH]

3:00 woman drivers...

[TheMakunde1]

Guess what I paused to watch this...;)

[MAXXFIGO]

BIG LIKE!!!nice review nice color nice car nice environment...

[K1LLAY]

My favourite BMW rear lights are only on the 5 series!

[johnnyr25]

$154!

[Michaisi]

If you live in Greece 117 euros worth of petrol for a bimmer is actually not that bad...

[bootlegMIR]

Don't leave the gas cap on the paint! I guess he doesn't care because it's a press car.

UNFORGIVABLE!

[dream431ca]

Great Video! I hope you do more like this.

[cubadrum]

117 euro worth of petrol :-)

I usually have to full up a 90l tank of diesel worth around that number...

[CalvinS63]

I want his job... and I suppose the car is ok. Just joking, IT'S FUCKING AWESOME!

[DaNeShady90]

@CalvinS63 True that!! :)

[CAJFB]

@CalvinS63 Not as Awesome as the S1000rr still amazed at that machine.

[SuperSayanFitness]

hes doing top gear by his own :D

[Kaipeternicolas]

Nice... I went down such a "cliff" in my E60 :(

[BestCarSound]

Nice conclusion there, completely agreed :)

[Ifreann666]

me want one

[LamboGallardo560]

You might be able to BUY both cars for the price of a single M5, but I doubt you could INSURE both for the same price as the M5.

[fussballkingpro]

Awesome!

[ratpie]

so that's where Matt's been all this time

[OsamaBinMasood]

@ratpie He had a vacation for four weeks.

[MiguelRelvas1]

@ratpie Yeah, he disappeared from CarBuyer! Maybe because of this episode or something...

[ivobondptbe]

@ratpie No this is from a while back.

[ratpie]

first!
