BMW M5 F90 for BeamNG.drive
The F90 is the M5 that finally went all-wheel drive, and this build leans hard into that character: a heavy luxury sedan that still launches like something much angrier. Combining that sedan weight with serious performance means you actually have to think about braking distances and weight transfer, which is exactly what makes it interesting to drive on a long highway run or a track-style loop rather than a tight city block.
How it drives
It feels most at home on city roads, highways, open maps, and faster circuits where you can lean on the acceleration, braking response, and high-speed stability. Drive it smoothly and it stays composed; brake early before a corner and it settles nicely. Get greedy with late braking or a sudden flick of the wheel at speed, and the mass shows up, so the AWD-style traction rewards clean launches and patient corner exits.
125 configs and customization
With 125 configurations on offer, there is a genuinely deep spread here, from stock-style cars to tuned builds and visual variants. That much variety makes it a great car for back-to-back testing on one route. Custom 3D tyres, custom wheels and 36 vinyl designs give you real control over the look, so it doubles as a garage and screenshot car as much as a driver.
Interior and physics
The interior and exterior are both detailed, with a lot of custom parts that hold up under cockpit and close-up cameras. Interactive triggers add to roleplay and inspection, but the real backbone is the physics: realistic handling and damage behavior mean you can run repeated crash tests—front hits, side impacts, braking mistakes, and high-speed stability loss—and compare how each config reacts.
Installing is simple: drop the .zip straight into your BeamNG.drive mods folder — don’t unzip it — and it appears in the in-game selector. New to mods? Our BeamNG.drive installation guide walks through every step.
🔧 Our Test Notes
Hands-on notes from the CrashMods team
On camera is where this F90 first won us over: the cabin detail survives cockpit and close-up angles, and between 36 vinyl designs, custom wheels, and the custom 3D tires, we built several completely different-looking M5s before leaving the garage. Then the driving matched. This is the M5 that finally went all-wheel drive, and clean launches are where that traction pays off—patient on corner exit and hard on the straight, and it stays composed at speed as long as your inputs stay smooth. The 125 configurations sound like a gimmick until you run the same loop in a stock-style setup and a tuned build back to back; the spread between them makes that comparison worth an afternoon. One piece of tester advice: this is a heavy sedan, so give it braking room and favor highways and open circuits over tight city blocks—late braking is how the mass introduces itself. Tested on BeamNG 0.38.
