2021 BMW M5 Competition Review: How to Raise Up a Model Already at the TopAuto123 reviews the 2021 BMW M5 Competition.
At BMW, the M badge is shorthand for performance, and a mark of excellence for a sports car. Just like AMG at Mercedes and RS at Audi, the M says the looks and sound are not just for show. And in the M universe, the BMW M5 sedan is particularly notorious. Although it can accommodate five passengers, it was designed to tear up the track. Many sports cars dream of being like it, but very few can match it.
Originally offered with rear-wheel drive only, the M5 is now available in Canada with all-wheel drive. This configuration was introduced in 1997 with the F90 model. In Canada, this transformation has raised the model’s status as an everyday-use car. Since BMW always likes to add to the mix, for the 2021 model year, there's an additional, even more ferocious variant: the Competition.

Compared to the M5 we know, the BMW M5 Competition sports an updated grille, though it’s only been modestly touched up. Fortunately, it has not been contaminated, at this go around, by the oversized honker of the new M3 and M4. The headlights and taillights have a new light signature.
