BMW M5 epic road test

Join us on a 700-mile road trip from Spain to the UK in the new BMW M5

 

We've already tested the new BMW M5 both on track and on road. And yes, with a 552bhp twin-turbo V8 it has incredible performance.

But what is it like to live with and how does it cope over really long distances? Is the new BMW M5 really the continent-slayer its predecessor – with its limited range, manic engine and firm suspension – failed to be? There's only one way to find out: a mammoth road test from the Pyrenees in northern Spain all way back to the UK.

Our epic journey took in twisty mountain passes, windy country roads, arrow-straight Autoroutes, tricky town traffic and a few petrol station forecourts.
 
Over the three-day 700-mile odyssey we scrutinised the M5’s fuel efficiency, comfort, refinement and practicality as well as its performance and handling. We recorded every moment on camera. But don’t worry, this video is of the edited highlights…
