How the BMW M5 CS is Revolutionizing the Super Saloon Market

What is the perfect car? It should be one with a perfect balance of performance and luxury, with new technology and systems we can all rely on. The 2022 BMW M5 CS is far from a perfect car. With a steep price tag of $143,995, a trunk capacity of only 14 cubic feet, and cramped back seats, it is clear this new feat of automotive engineering can only appeal to a certain clique of people. Despite this, it truly is a car that can impress.

On paper, the M5 CS is one of the fastest saloons ever made, and could put supercars from brands like Ferrari and Mercedes to shame. It can accelerate from a standing start to 60 miles per hour in 2.6 seconds. It can complete the quarter mile in 10.6 seconds at 130 miles per hour. For reference, a Ferrari 488 GTB, a $230,000 supercar made with F1 technology by highly skilled engineers in Maranello, Italy, completes the quarter mile in 10.8 seconds. The performance stats are noteworthy, but it is also important to mention that BMW does not sacrifice comfort for speed. While it is no Rolls Royce, the M5 CS has a decent ride quality when compared to other high-performance sedans, like the Audi RS7 and the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing.

The base M5 and M5 competition are remarkable cars, and have been that way ever since the first model in 1985. They have always been the pinnacle of supercar-like performance with an air of family practicality. The M5 CS continues this legacy, just with more horsepower and less weight.
