THE BMW M5 super sedan has always had a bit of an identity crisis, blending together the sumptuous German luxury of a premium brand with the brutal performance of a sportscar.

In its current-generation form, the M5 features all-wheel drive, a twin-turbo V8 engine, plush appointments and enough tech to make the latest iPhone look dated, while the new Competition grade ups performance and pricing.
Has BMW found the perfect mix of performance and poise in the latest sixth-generation M5 Competition?
