The 2027 BMW M5 brings a plug-in-hybrid powertrain to BMW’s iconic performance sedan, combining a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 with an electric motor for 717 total horsepower, up to 29 miles of electric driving, and a starting price of about $123,000. In this review, we look at the M5’s redesigned exterior, flexible drive modes, spacious rear seat, 16.5-cubic-foot trunk, and comfortable daily-driver manners, as well as its grip and explosive performance on twisty roads. We also examine the trade-offs, including the car’s added weight, complicated infotainment and customization menus, less-than-seamless EV-to-hybrid transitions, limited steering feedback, and the compromises that come with its plug-in-hybrid format. Along the way, we compare its value and driving character with rivals including the Porsche Panamera, Audi RS7, and Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing.
