The story

The G90 is built on the G60 5 Series and shares its powertrain with the XM. It is BMW M's first plug-in hybrid saloon, with a motor inside the eight-speed automatic, and BMW M's chief says keeping the V8 under stricter emission rules was only possible that way. CarGurus, a published reference

It is far heavier than the F90, which was heavily criticised, and Edmunds lists its weight in corners and a firm ride among its drawbacks. CarGurus expects many M5 fans to dislike its styling, weight and technology. Edmunds, CarGurus, a published reference

The M5 Touring wagon, the G99, came to the US for the first time, and CarGurus calls the choice of sedan or wagon its selling point. Edmunds, CarGurus, a published reference
