2018 BMW M5 Shows off High-Speed Tyre Smoking Skills
The BMW M5 shows that it hasn't lost any of its sideways sliding ability as it goes on a high-speed drift in the hands of a former F1 driver.
When BMW announced that the new 2018 F90 M5 would feature all-wheel drive, many die-hard M fans protested with great vehemence about the loss of one of rear-wheel drive's lights. Thankfully, the vocal and keyboard violence didn't last long as BMW revealed that the M xDrive all-wheel-drive system had a mode that turned the M5 into what its fans want it to be, a rear-wheel drive tyre smoker and shredder.
However, with 592bhp on offer, the new M5 may seem like a scary proposition for some fans. To quell their fears, BMW's M division handed the keys of the new M5 to the former F1 driver Timo Glock, who is best known as the bloke Lewis Hamilton passed to win his first Formula One Driver's championship. Thankfully Glock showed that staying in F1 hadn't turned him into a boring driver obsessed with the perfect racing line, as he took the mad M5 out on a high-speed drifting run that really got the smoke machines sorry smoking tyres going.
DriveSpark Thinks!
The new F90 M5 may feature all-wheel-drive but if the video above is anything to go by, then it hasn't lost any of its rear-wheel-drive charms, which at the end of the day is what an M5 has always been known for, other than putting many a supercar to shame with its speed.
