2022 BMW M5
Carivo independent review & score
Carivo independent review & score
The 2022 BMW M5. Carivo rates it 7.5/10 — middle of the pack. It does enough right to be a reasonable choice, but the scores don’t make a compelling case for picking it over class leaders.
Performance is its standout at 9.5/10. Powertrain response and driving dynamics give it a genuine edge over blander sedans in this segment — noticeable from the first drive. Value is a serious liability at 5.9/10 — well below class rivals and a score that should factor heavily into any buying decision. Don’t overlook it.
At $99,076–$115,349, it’s expensive and the Value score confirms rivals offer more for the money at this level. At 4 years old, this model predates meaningful updates to the BMW M5 lineup. Check how the current generation scores differently before committing to the older version.
