2022 M5 CS Safety

There is no review of the 2022 BMW M5 CS by the NHTSA and this is unlikely to change at any point in the future. The same applies to the IIHS. However, the latter agency did review the 2021 5 Series, giving us some idea of how the M5 CS will perform in a crash. The news is positive as the 5 Series attained the maximum Good score in every crashworthiness test.

2022 M5 CS Key Safety Features

The M5 CS has a suite of six airbags that includes dual-threshold, dual-stage front airbags and front side airbags. It also comes with a rearview camera, dynamic stability control, and M carbon ceramic brakes. BMW's Active Protection System comes with a fatigue and focus alert feature, should you somehow accomplish the feat of dozing off behind the wheel of the M5 CS. This system also prepares the car for an imminent crash and activates post-crash braking.

The Active Driving Assistant bundles together forward collision warning with pedestrian warning, active blind-spot detection, lane departure warning, speed limit info, rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic high beams. Adaptive LED headlights and front/rear parking sensors are included as well.

2022 M5 CS Reliability

There have been no recalls for the 2022 M5 CS as yet. The 2021 M5 was recalled just once for an obscured rearview camera image, so hopefully this scarcity of serious issues filters through to the newer CS which is based on the normal M5.

Like other BMWs, the M5 CS comes with a four-year/50,000-mile limited warranty, four years of roadside assistance, and three years or 36,000 miles of complimentary scheduled maintenance.
