The BMW 5 Series offers plenty of models for a thrilling drive, but the most notable is the standard M5 trim. Under the hood of the regular M5, you will find a 600 hp twin-turbocharged V8 engine. While there isn’t an M5 Competition model this year, you can get behind the steering wheel of the limited-edition BMW M5 CS. It has a specially-tuned version of the twin-turbo engine that pumps out 627 hp.
Not only does the BMW M5 accelerate with mind-blowing power, but the exhaust note makes it feel even more aggressive. Considering you can get to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds and a 155 mph top speed, the world around you is meant to fly right by. Both models also include an 8-speed automatic transmission, ensuring that the shifting is always smooth and controlled.
As you sit in the front seat of the new M8 Competition, you will quickly see how it compares with the BMW M5. It is equipped with a twin-turbo V8 engine that delivers 617 hp of thrills. It also comes equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive for even more control. This high-performance luxury car has so much to offer, but what is the speed you can expect?
The 0 to 60 mph time is going to be slightly more at 3.0 seconds, so in this sense it is slower than the M5. However, with a top speed of 189 mph, it’s capable of more than the previous model. Of course, no one should ever drive that fast, but it’s nice to know it is capable of it. Still, with either BMW car, you won’t be disappointed.
