BMW M5 Touring G99 (2026) vs Ferrari 12 Cilindri Coupe (2025)

BMW M5 Touring G99 (2026) vs Ferrari 12 Cilindri Coupe (2025): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer weighing extreme performance against everyday practicality, the BMW M5 Touring G99 emerges as the more sensible choice for most buyers. Priced at ₱12.79 million, it is roughly one‑third the cost of the Ferrari 12 Cilindri Coupe, which commands ₱43.9 million. The M5 Touring still delivers blistering performance with 727 PS and 1,000 Nm of torque, and adds the versatility of a five‑door wagon, five seats (2+3), and AWD—features that make it far more usable for family trips or daily commuting in the Philippines’ varied traffic conditions. Its PHEV powertrain also offers better fuel efficiency and the potential for electric‑only driving, an advantage in a market where fuel costs are a concern. The Ferrari, while offering a higher peak power of 830 PS and a sleek two‑door convertible coupe layout, is limited to two seats, RWD, and a naturally aspirated engine that sacrifices the torque and all‑wheel traction of the BMW. Its higher price, limited practicality, and shorter 3‑year warranty further narrow its appeal to pure enthusiasts or collectors rather than everyday drivers. In short, choose the BMW M5 Touring if you want supercar‑level performance with real-world usability; opt for the Ferrari only if you prioritize ultimate power and exclusive styling above all else.
