BMW M5 (G90)
Why 5.9: Every launch road test flagged the same thing: over 2,400 kg of M5, the heaviest one BMW has built, and the hybrid battery is most of why. The power number keeps climbing every generation; whether the driving experience keeps pace is the argument this generation reopened.

The long version
BMW added a plug-in hybrid system to the M5 for the G90 generation, chasing a combined 717 horsepower figure no previous M5 came close to touching. The added battery pack pushed curb weight well past the F90's, heavier than any M5 before it, and launch reviews split on whether the extra shove is worth what the added mass costs the chassis in feel. Early buyers skew toward the same do-everything-with-one-car crowd every M5 generation has attracted, but it is too soon to know if this one gets driven like its predecessors or garaged while the weight argument gets settled by owners instead of magazines.
