2018 BMW M5 Races BMW M2 in Rear-Wheel-Drive Mode, Instantly Regrets It

With its M xDrive hardware, which also packs an all-rear driving mode, the 2018 M5 has proven to be nothing short of a riot, whether you're looking for respectable chronograph numbers or monstrous slip angle shenanigans.

And the latest adventure involving the M5 comes to prove this. We're talking about a stunt that pits the super-sedan against what is considered to be the purest M car of the current lineup, namely the M2.

The folks over at TFL Car have thrown the two Ms at each other, with the battle involving sprinting (0 to 60 mph) and lap times. Keep in mind that the M5 and the M2 duked it out using TFL's Colorado test track, with this meaning the hostilities took place at one mile above sea level - even when dealing with turbocharged cars such as the ones we have here, the less dense air brings a performance drawback.

It all started with the M2 setting the pace and the M5 lapped the track right after its sibling. And while the results of such a battle won't necessarily surprise you, the story didn't end there.

And that's because the F90 M5 also lapped the circuit in rear-wheel-drive mode. And we won't mention the details here, since we don't aim to spoil the giggles of the video.

There's one more thing we need to mention, though - the last test is relevant for those willing to image how the new M5 would've been without the AWD update, but we also have to keep in mind that the RWD model would've been slightly lighter.
