The Thrill of Driving a 720 Horsepower M5

Now that I have to drive on the right side of the car, which is still quite weird for me, I've always had to get used to that. But driving an M2 with a four-wheel-drive sport setup is an amazing experience, especially with its all-wheel drive system. The torquey sound of the engine is not very convincing, but it picks up really well. I feel like I'm driving a motorcycle with a sidecar, which is a weird sensation to sit on the right side of the car. The little brake squeal you heard is from the carbon ceramics we have in our M3 as well, and it's just basically if you use them a lot and if you use them well then at a certain point they start making that sound, but it's nothing to be worried about apparently.

As I took the car for a spin, I was impressed by its launch control feature. With four-wheel drive sport, we were able to do a perfect launch, and our friend Bartine managed to clock in a 2.9-second zero-to-100 time in the old man POV, which is very impressive. The M5 is already quick on paper, but with a tune like this, it's truly effortless. I have to remind myself to check my speed regularly because the stock M5 is already so fast, and then with a tune like this, it's just plain crazy.

One of the most impressive features of our 720 horsepower AC Schnitzer M5 was its quarter-mile time. We measured 10.6 seconds, which is half a second quicker than the stock M5 we tested. To put that into perspective, that's actually the same time as an Aventador SVJ Lamborghini! I can see why my friend Shock decided to come all the way from the UK to enjoy his new ride in Germany.

But what really sets this car apart is its high-speed performance. With 720 horsepower, it accelerates like a dream at high speeds. The acceleration from 250 to 300 kilometers per hour is just amazing. Even with the limited top speed of our test route, the M5 was able to pull off incredible shifts and accelerate out of corners with ease.

We also measured the car's 0-200 performance, which clocked in a respectable 6.6 seconds. While it may not be as quick as some other cars on the market, its raw power and handling make up for it. I have to admit that I was initially considering getting an M5 CS myself, but after seeing how comfortable and feature-rich this car is, I think I'll stick with my own 740 horsepower version.

One final point worth mentioning is the piggyback tune used on this M5. Unlike some other tunes that can become unreliable or underperform when the engine gets hot, our AC Schnitzer box performed flawlessly throughout our test drive. We didn't notice any significant decrease in performance as the engine temperature increased, which was a welcome surprise.

As I concluded my time with the 720 horsepower M5, I have to say that it's been an absolute pleasure driving this car. The combination of everyday comfort and high-performance capabilities is just incredible. Whether you're cruising down the highway or carving up the track, this car handles like a dream. Ashok, thank you for bringing your ride to our channel – we can't wait to see more cars featured in future videos!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up ladies and gentlemen and welcome to this pov review by autodopanal my name is max and today we've got a visitor all the way from the uk a few weeks ago we received an email from dr ashok paul who asked us if we wanted to drive his bmw m5 competition lci with some ac schnitzer tuning on it and it is a very special well-specced bmw m5 so i'm very happy that we are able to feature this beautiful m5 on our channel today uh i'm going to show you around it i'm going to show you the mulch that ashok has made to his car i'm going to show you the spec he got it in and of course we're going to take it for a drive towards the ultraman for an autobahn blast but before we begin let me talk to you about surf shark which is a vpn to protect your most valuable assets now of course we've got this big space to protect our expensive cars we've got an alarm we've got a gate and a shotgun of course but those expensive cars are not our most valuable assets this is the computers with the hard disks that is 12 years of work now we've all heard the horror stories of people being hacked youtube channels being deleted and we don't want that to happen to us of course so we've got surfshark surf shark is a vpn a virtual private network which basically adds a layer of protection between you and the outside world online so everything you do is protected they can't see your location they can't see your ip address and it just protects you from hackers or other unwanted intruders now it is basically like wearing pants when you go outside you don't want other people to see your private stuff it also gives you access to blocked websites and streaming content normally not available in your country so use the link in the description to download surfshark vpn and get three months for free plus an 83 discount go check it out now this car has been specced with something called the ultimate pack which we don't get here in europe but bmw in the uk made this package as sort of a the ultimate as the name suggests spec for your m5 so it is basically every option available apart from the tow bar and the sunroof which again do not get a sunroof on your bmw m if you have a carbon fiber roof do not do it it is blasphemy so yeah those are the only two things you can spec after you have specced the ultimate pack and well it is a lot it's like 20 000 pounds i believe and uh it is quite expensive but that does mean that you get every possible option on your m5 which is very nice now the spec itself very very tasteful dunnington gray on the outside which does suit the car very well i think the lci you know with the new lights the bmw laser lights with that blue accent in there it is a very good looking car if you ask me let me know in the comments what you think about this spec especially with those wheels our shock also got these 863m lightweight wheels these save around seven kilos per corner and you also get the m drivers package and carbon ceramic brakes with that ultimate pack so that saves weight even further around that we've got michelin pilot sport cup to connect tires ashok also takes this car to the track he's actually here in germany to drive on the nurburgring so he's going there tonight and after that they are also going to spa to do a track day with this car so he definitely uses it well he is also a heart and emergency surgeon so he needs a car that is fast and safe in all conditions so yeah pretty much the best choice very very fast and of course you've got the mx drive for some all-wheel drive grip in wet conditions so very very cool car and uh man i love this spec i think these wheels they suit the m5 really well i i don't think i've seen an m5 with these wheels yet but i do believe that you know it's a it's a very racy look quite like it and then at the rear we've got an ac schnitzer roof spoiler here carbon roof as i said a little spoiler here as well and then we've got a stock exhaust but i shock also got the ac schnitzer exhaust but that is going on later and we've got a very cool vanity plate my 21 acs still wish we could do that in the netherlands but we can't they tax everything in the netherlands but they don't allow you to spec your own license plate which is basically a tax that everyone would like to have anywho the 4.4 liter v8 by turbo with the carbon engine cover which is also part of that ultimate pack and stock we've got 625 horsepower and 750 newton meters of torque with this ac schnitzel tune we've got 720 horsepower and 850 newton meters of torque oh that is nice yeah so the ac schnitzer a shock went for that because as i said he's a surgeon and he can't have his car dying on him uh because it has a tune on it he just wants the car to work at all times he also likes the warranty that ac schnitzer offer and the fact that you know it's so linked with bmw and uh it's a very safe tune of course but it does work so uh yeah that is a good thing especially if you depend on your car like a surgeon does so let's check out the interior because it has a very very cool spec as you guys know we are big fans of tartufo on the interior which is such a nice color absolutely love this pack it is perfect with contrast stitching on the dash as well with the leather and the beautiful m5 seats which are super comfy yeah this is how you spec a car nice suede alcantara on the roof as well the bowers and wilkins diamond audio also part of the ultimate pack ventilated and heated seats of course so yeah it is a fully fully loaded m5 competition really nice this is actually the third m5 i shock owns so he owned two pre-lcis and now he's got the facelift version and uh well he drove them back to back for a long time so i really trust his opinion on it and he says that the lci is a really big improvement over the pre facelift um apparently this one is much more comfortable and refined so some consumer advice for you guys also a big screen right there and well let's start it up sound is stock bad not great i do understand why a shock got the ac schnitzer exhaust that does add a nice edge to the car alright so let's take it for a drive now of course i have to drive on the right side of the car which is still quite weird always have to get used to that m2 which is four wheel drive sport which is an amazing setting for this all-wheel drive system oh that is torquey man yeah the sound is not very convincing it is a bit disappointing on this especially lci of course with the opf the particulate filters the cars just got so quiet and you really miss that sense of you know having a v8 basically it just it sounds so docile poor man but it does pick up really well i just i really feel like i'm driving a motorcycle with a sidecar it's such a weird sensation to sit on the right side it the car just feels so much wider than it does when i sit on the left side now the little brake squeal you heard is from the carbon ceramics we have that with our m3 as well and it's just basically if you use them a lot and if you use them well then at a certain point they start making that sound but it's nothing to be worried about apparently and they still work properly alright so let's do a launch control which is hella impressive in this car four wheel drive sport for the brake full throttle launch control that's not ideal it does struggle to grip but we have been able to do one perfect launch and bartine did a 2.9 second zero to 100 in the old man pov that is very very impressive oh man it's such a quick car and it's so effortless that is the danger with this with a tuned m5 i mean the stock m5 is already so quick and then with a tune on it it's oh mad you really have to check yourself before you wreck yourself it really is an incredible combination this car between everyday comfort having all the options in the world you know ventilated comfy leather seats and everything you want and then also being able to track it and you know be really really fast on the track and have fun as well because it just handles like a freaking dream now we also measured the quarter mile time and uh this 720 horsepower ac schnitzer version did 10.6 seconds and that is half a second quicker than the stock m5 we measured so that is quite impressive even more impressive that is actually the same time we measured with the aventador svj lambo so yeah that is pretty crazy and in this car you can fit one whole martin in the rear being from the uk i guess this is also part of the reason why i shock came to germany to enjoy his 720 horsepower m5 on the ultraman and i mean this is also where it excels of course when you go for a tune on the car like this it is the high speed performance that is most impressive that's always what i feel you know an m5 is very very quick on the b road anyway and if you add 100 horsepower to that you know it is going to be much quicker but if you have an ac schnitzer with 720 horsepower on the autobahn it just feels so amazing to have that power from like 250 to 300 kilometers an hour it the way it accelerates at high speed is just amazing that was a little gap 300 kilometers an hour no problem poor very dorky as well man we also measured the 100 to 200 performance of course and we did a 6.6 second run which is very very quick it is faster than the bmw m5 cs and that might not sound that impressive since it has 635 horsepower according to bmw but it has way more power than that so the fact that this is faster i mean a shock was also thinking about getting an m5 cs but he ultimately went for the daily usability and the comfort of a competition which i really understand now another thing you usually have with these piggyback tunes so uh an ac schnitzer box is that as well is that uh when they get hot the engine when the engine gets hot the performance decreases and they don't really deliver anymore or they only deliver the performance for like 15 or 20 seconds at a time we didn't really notice that with this tuning so that is good as well it did really perform all the time which is great so ashok thank you so much for taking your car to us it has been my honor
