    2019 BMW M5 Competition — 2:54.0

    It might've only been king of the four-door performance cars for a year, but since then, it hasn't just been sitting around eating premium gas and tires in the off season. The M5 Competition has a new twin-turbo engine that gets a 17-hp advantage over the previous, returned suspension, and other minor improvements that keep the rubber boots on this all-wheel-drive monster kicking.
