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.

Anthony Crawford drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Much more than an M5 on steroids
- Astonishing linearity with all the major mechanicals
- Feels lightweight, even though it tips the scales at 1825kg
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
