What's New in the 2022 BMW M5?
BMW's Connected Package Professional (which includes recognition of natural language commands, real-time traffic updates and concierge services) becomes standard. Wireless charging and Wi-Fi are also now included, while the CD/MP3 player has been discontinued. A 2020 M5 Edition 35 Years version joins the range. It's based on the M5 Competition and adds the Executive and M Driver's packages as standard (see the Standard Features and Options section below), as well as a few cosmetic differences.

It's always a good idea to have the features in the Driver Assistance Plus package. We can also recommend the superb Bowers & Wilkins audio system. Otherwise, every choice is a good one. Buyers considering the M5 Competition should also check out the carbon ceramic brakes, because wonderful speed needs wonderful stopping power.
