James reckons the F90 CS is the greatest BMW M5 variant of all-time and in this video he explains why.

The M5 CS only saw a modest 10bhp increase over the regular model but the rest of the changes were far more significant. Weight-saving totaled up to 70kg, while the ride height was dropped by 7mm and adaptive dampers were borrowed from the M8 Gran Coupe. Together with less sound deadening it makes a louder, more focused experience and one that James reckons is the best M5 variant of all time.
