Karim Benzema has added a new £138,000 luxury car to his collection as he continues enjoying his high-profile lifestyle in Saudi Arabia, where he plays on a massive contract.
At 37, Benzema is considered one of the finest strikers of his time, having netted 354 goals across 648 matches for Real Madrid.
In 2023, he made a sensational move from the Bernabeu to the Saudi Pro League, signing a three-year deal with Al-Ittihad worth £258 million.
After initially struggling to adapt, Benzema has found his rhythm, scoring 21 goals in 28 league games to help Al-Ittihad clinch the Saudi title.
Known for his love of luxury vehicles, the Frenchman owns a stunning collection of supercars.
Among them is a Bugatti Chiron, boasting 1,500 horsepower and capable of accelerating from 0 to 100mph in just 2.5 seconds.
Now, Benzema has added a BMW M5 to his garage, a powerful £138,000 sedan praised as an “everyday supercar.”
Though more practical than his Lamborghini Revuelto, Ferrari Purosangue, and Rolls-Royce Spectre, the M5 still delivers exhilarating performance.
It comes equipped with a twin-turbo V8 engine that reaches speeds up to 189.5mph and accelerates from 0 to 100mph in 3.5 seconds.
While it offers more space than typical supercars, the M5 maintains a luxurious feel and high-performance edge, making it a versatile addition to his lineup.
Considering Benzema earns an astonishing £86 million a year—or £230,000 per day—the purchase hardly affects his finances, leaving him £92,000 from just one day’s salary.
The Al-Ittihad star often showcases his supercar fleet on social media, sharing photos with his millions of followers.
Benzema also captains his club, who recently secured the league title with a 3-1 win over Al-Raed.
Al-Ittihad are managed by former France coach Laurent Blanc, and the squad includes fellow stars like N’Golo Kante, Fabinho, Moussa Diaby, and Steven Bergwijn.
The team has two league matches remaining, along with a King’s Cup final clash against Al-Qadsiah later this month.
