The All-New BMW M5: Powering into a New Era
The BMW M5 is powering into a new era. With 40 years of history under its belt, the legendary high-performance sedan is entering its seventh model generation. The executive model from BMW M GmbH now features an electrified drive system for the first time. The M HYBRID system offers a maximum output of 535 kW/727 hp and peak system torque of 1,000 Nm (737 lb-ft), delivering acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.5 seconds.
Performance and Design
The combination of a high-revving V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology and an electric motor, coupled with an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission and M xDrive all-wheel drive, ensures an imposing power delivery and emotionally engaging performance experience. The new BMW M5 features prominent wheel arch and side skirt extensions, a sculptural front apron, and model-specific surfacing around the C-pillar, including an embossed “M5” logo. These elements give the car an athletic appearance that differentiates it clearly from the BMW 5 Series Sedan.
The M HYBRID system, along with the power transmission and chassis technology tuned to its specific performance characteristics, provides the new BMW M5 with unmatched transverse and longitudinal dynamics in this market segment.
World Premiere and Production
The world premiere of the new BMW M5 will take place at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in England in July 2024, with production beginning the same month at the BMW Group Plant Dingolfing. The worldwide market launch will start in November 2024, accompanied by the introduction of the new BMW M5 Touring. North America and Europe are the most important sales regions, with the USA being the single biggest individual market, followed by Great Britain, Germany, South Korea, China, Japan, and Canada.
M HYBRID Drive System
The M HYBRID drive system combines a 4.4-litre V8 engine with an electric motor, integrated into the eight-speed M Steptronic transmission. The combustion engine, featuring M TwinPower Turbo technology, develops a maximum output of 430 kW/585 hp and peak torque of 750 Nm (553 lb-ft). The electric motor adds a maximum output of 145 kW/197 hp and effective torque of 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) at the transmission input.
Chassis and Dynamics
The new BMW M5's chassis design includes a double-wishbone front axle and a five-link rear axle, with M-specific tuning. The adaptive M suspension with electronically controlled dampers, Integral Active Steering, and near-actuator wheel slip limitation enhance traction, agility, and directional stability. The standard M Compound brakes and optional M Carbon ceramic brakes offer exceptional stopping power, while the M light-alloy wheels (20-inch front, 21-inch rear) are fitted with high-performance tyres.
Assistance Systems
The new BMW M5 offers a wide range of standard and optional systems for automated driving and parking, enhancing driving assurance and comfort. Standard features include front collision warning, Lane Departure Warning, and the Speed Limit Info system.
