Karim Benzema isn’t just a star on the pitch—he’s also a known connoisseur of luxury cars. The Al-Ittihad striker recently added a new jewel to his high-end collection: a BMW M5 worth £138,000 (around $175,000 USD). But the jaw-dropping detail? He still had £92,000 left over—from that same day’s earnings.

Since joining Saudi football in 2023, Benzema has been earning an estimated £86 million per year, which breaks down to about £230,000 per day. That means this luxury BMW cost him just over half of his daily income. For most, it’s a dream purchase—for Benzema, it’s a mid-day expense.

Power Meets Elegance

This isn’t just any BMW. The BMW M5 is one of the world’s most powerful sedans, equipped with a twin-turbo V8 engine, over 725 horsepower, and a 0–100 km/h time of just 3.5 seconds. It tops out at 305 km/h, delivering a perfect mix of speed, comfort, and luxury.

Compared to his more exotic rides, the M5 offers a more practical daily drive, without compromising on performance or style—very much in line with Benzema’s refined taste.

A Garage That Turns Heads

This M5 joins a next-level collection that already includes the Bugatti Chiron, Ferrari Purosangue, Lamborghini Revuelto, and Rolls-Royce Spectre. Every car in his garage reflects not only his immense wealth, but also a deep appreciation for automotive design and power.

At 36 years old, Benzema remains one of the highest-paid footballers on the planet. While there’s still uncertainty about his future on the pitch, one thing is clear: his passion for cars is going full throttle—on and off the road.
