2022 BMW M5 CS review
Forget the fact the M5 CS only gets 7kW more power than the regular M5 Competition. It’s totally and utterly irrelevant, because you can’t quantify this car by numbers alone.

Misses
- Not the latest and greatest screen tech inside
- You'll need to ensure you can actually get yourself out of those front seats
- Australia only got 20 cars
