The True Ultimate Driving Machine<\/h2>\n

The 2020 BMW M5 Competition<\/a> is a special car. It takes the attractive but not ridiculously sporty looking 5-Series as a base for the car and then turns the dials up to 11. The car comes with 617 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque<\/strong> and that power gets sent to all four wheels via a slick 8-speed dual clutch transmission. That makes for a 0-60 mph time of just 3.1 seconds<\/strong> and a 10.9-second quarter-mile time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The car is even more hardcore than the standard M5. Its minor power bump is complimented by 10 percent stiffer dampers.<\/strong> The anti-roll bars are also stiffer, and the car rides .28 inches lower.<\/strong> Instead of rubber mounts for the toe links, this car gets ball joints. All told the M5 is a sharper, stiffer, and even more performance-oriented M5. It should have no trouble competing with Mercedes-AMG E 63 S, and the Audi RS7 Performance. <\/p>\n

Autoblog<\/a> was able to take the M5 Competition to a racetrack in Monticello, New York, and came away from the experience seemingly in love with the car. Here’s a bit of what Lawrence Ulrich said in his review: <\/p>\n

So is the BMW fun on track? Yes, in a mildly silly, tiger-shark-out-of-water fashion. But it\u2019s twice as fun on the street, where the M5 Competition underscores its Autobahn-style ferocity and magisterial handling. Mopar fans may howl, but in most street situations, the M5 Competition will easily smoke even a Dodge Challenger Hellcat from a stoplight \u2013 minus the smoke. Where even skilled drivers can struggle to launch the rear-driven Hellcat without the tires lighting up like Cheech and Chong, the BMW sends every molecule of rubber and scrap of torque to the pavement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s high praise for any car, and you have to give it to BMW. It sounds like they have a real winner on their hands. The 2020 BMW M5 Competition starts at $110,995.<\/strong> The car that Ulrich of Autoblog tested came with the carbon-ceramic brakes and that made the price rise to $132,095. Pricey, but we think this is one BMW that’s worth the price. <\/p>\n
