All Car Review's video: 2018 BMW M5 review: Bimmer s beast is also its best

How I'd spec it Part large luxury sedan, part canyon carver and part race-ready tool, the 2018 BMW M5 is basically three cars in one -- which is good because it costs as much as five. Starting at $104,695 (including a $995 destination charge and a $1,000 gas guzzler tax), the M5 is a pricey proposition. I'm tempted to recommend the $111,995 M5 Competition trim, but the performance upgrades are only really apparent on the track -- on the street, hitting 60 mph 0.1 second sooner isn't worth the the comfort tradeoffs. Available options that most buyers will want to consider for a daily driver include the $1,700 Driving Assistance Plus package, which adds features like adaptive cruise and lane keeping assist, and the $4,000 Executive package, which loads the M5's luxurious cabin up with even more comfort amenities. Grabbing these options bumps the bottom line up to $110,395, but that price is still basically in line with the Mercedes-AMG E63 S, perhaps the M5's most direct and fiercest competitor. Many Roadshow editors who drove both preferred the E63's refinement and would pick it over the M5 as a daily driver -- high praise, I'd say. Cadillac's CTS-V is another compelling luxury performance option with the bonus of a price tag below six-figures, though its cabin materials fall well short of Bimmer and Benz. It's handsomely styled, easy to live with and supremely comfortable in traffic, the M5 is a very likeable car. But it's also ridiculously powerful, crazy agile and capable of some unbelievable stunts. If the BMW M5 were a person, it would be Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson. If you've got deep pockets and are looking for the very best of everything BMW has to offer -- heck, one of the best cars on the road -- the 2018 BMW M5 is worth every penny.
