In less than three seconds, it reached 62 mph (100 km/h).
Let’s face facts, 626 horsepower is not enough for a midsize sedan. The entry-level 520i, which has 181 horsepower (182 hp), is capable of hitting 62 mph (100 km/h in 7.9 seconds). The 520i is also about the same price as the M5CS , but it’s still a lot cheaper than the . However, if you can afford the range topper, go for it!
The super sedan is a hypercar-like car that offers the same acceleration as hypercars but weighs in at 1,825 kg (4,023 lbs). YouTube’s AutoTopNL drove the most powerful BMW M vehicle ever on the Autobahn, experiencing the neck-snapping acceleration offered by the twin-turbo, 4.4-liter V8.
The numbers speak for themselves. The M5 CS clocked in at 62 mph (100 km/h), accelerating from a standstill in 2.98 secs. This is almost the same time as the manufacturer’s three second claim. Even more impressive is the M5 CS’s sprint to 124 miles per hour (200 km/h), which was completed in 9.67 seconds, or approximately 0.6 seconds faster than BMW claims.
The ultimate sedan from Bavaria completed a quarter-mile in 10.64 seconds with launch control on. In a second high speed run, the V8-powered M5 CS surpassed its electronically controlled top speed of 190 mph (305 km/h) This feat is impressive considering the size and weight of the sedan. One has to wonder how fast an unrestricted car could go.
Although the electric age is fast approaching and there is no going back, BMW shows that the old combustion engine has not died yet. Are we at the peak of the M V8? Before adding electrification to the mix? It is possible. Those who desire a premium pure gasoline experience must pay the outrageous M5 Competition price and act quickly as there are limited quantities of the M5CS.
