BMW M5 (G90/G99) for BeamNG.drive
The latest M5 trades pure combustion for a hybrid heart, and this mod brings that whole identity into BeamNG with both the G90 sedan and the longer G99 Touring wagon. It is a heavy, modern performance car, so it carries its mass differently than the lighter sports cars most people throw around the map. You feel that weight under braking and through fast direction changes, which makes it a satisfying car to learn rather than one you can just point and send.
How it drives
The working hybrid system changes the way power arrives. Throttle response feels smoother and fuller low down, and acceleration builds in a way that does not match a plain engine-only car. Smooth, deliberate inputs reward you here. Stab the brakes late or yank the wheel, and the M5 gets harder to place, especially given its size, so early braking and gradual throttle keep it planted through corners and at speed.
Configs, body kit and cabin
There are 40 configurations covering stock-style setups, hotter performance builds, and a mix across both the sedan and Touring shells, so you can run the same route in two body styles and feel the difference. The M Performance body kit adds visual variety, while custom 3D tires and mannequins fill out close-up shots and garage scenes. Inside, the functional multimedia and radio system make cockpit driving and roleplay feel more complete. A custom J-beam underneath handles deformation, so the car holds up for braking tests, handling comparisons, and crash runs across all those setups.
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
We spent our first few minutes parked, oddly enough — the working multimedia and radio pulled us straight into cockpit view, and with the mannequins and custom 3D tires filling out the frame, cabin driving and garage shots feel properly complete here. On the move, the hybrid delivery is the character piece: power arrives smooth and full from low down, and acceleration builds in a way no plain engine-only car matches, which suits patient, deliberate inputs. With 40 configurations split across the G90 sedan and the longer G99 Touring, we kept re-running the same route in both shells just to feel the difference, and the custom JBeam held up well through our braking and crash runs. Fair warning though: this is a heavy machine, and slamming on the brakes late or yanking the wheel makes it hard to place, so brake early and feed the throttle in until the mass makes sense. Tested on BeamNG 0.38.
