BMW M5 buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
Mass is the M5's central trade-off. The plug-in-hybrid hardware brings the first plug-in-hybrid M5 powertrain, but also significant complexity and weight close to 2.5 tonnes. In return, the V8-electric system produces 727 PS and 1,000 Nm. Its price sits substantially above every named same-class rival, which ranges from RM339,888 to RM649,888.
