Auto & Bike Blog: The All-New BMW M5 is an Amazing Sedan

Dear readers, here we have the all-new BMW M5! Read more information below about the stunning specifications of this stunning sedan, the BMW M5.

Yesterday, June 26, 2024, BMW released the next generation of the M5, which is one of the most famous cars that represents performance and luxury. This new model inherits the legacy and takes the sports sedan to a new level that has not been seen before.

The 2025 BMW M5 has impressive acceleration due to its high-performance engines ( one 4.4-liter V8 engine and one electric motor ), stunning technology, and exquisite design.

Having its roots since 1975, the high-performance sports sedan is at the starting point of its seventh generation. Also, the well-known executive model from BMW M GmbH has been added with an electrified drive system for the first time.

The M HYBRID system gives the all-new 2025 BMW M5 a full power of 535 kW/727 hp and a maximum system torque of 1,000 Nm. The combined fuel consumption is 1,7–1,6 l/100 km and 25,5–25,0 kWh/100 km, according to WLTP. That’s a low fuel consumption for a high-performance sedan of 700+ hp.

The new BMW M5 is powered by a high-revving V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology and an electric motor. Also, the power transmission is carried out through an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with an M xDrive all-wheel drive.

The new BMW M5 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in only 3.5 seconds. It’s a great performance for a sedan! This is a true beast, right? Let’s talk about this great monster’s design, dynamics, and other specs…

Dynamics and Design

The dynamics of power delivery and emotionally charged driving sensation provided by the new BMW M5 are complemented by a new take on the M design language.

The car features a more aggressive wheel arch and side skirt extensions, a muscular front apron, and unique model-specific surfacing at the C pillar, which includes an embossed ‘M5’ badge for the Hofmeister Kink to enhance the muscular look of the car than the BMW 5 Series sedan.

At the same time, an unusually large number of surfaces in body color provide a puristic look and stylish hints at the car’s outstanding dynamics.

Thus, the exterior appearance, like the luxurious interior that can be optionally equipped with M elements, emphasizes the complex nature of the new BMW M5. It is very confident and composed due to the availability of immense power at all times.

This rather plays a silent role during the comfortable, electric-only commute, but comes into its own as the ‘M’ sporty sedan character shows its claws during longer drives, and is unleashed during the track day sessions.

The M HYBRID system, power transmission, and chassis technology optimized for the car’s characteristics provide longitudinal and transverse dynamics of the new BMW M5 that are unsurpassed in this class. With this similar high flexibility, the new BMW M5 classifies as the new generation of M performance.

The new BMW M5 will be officially unveiled at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in England in July 2024 and production will be at BMW Group Plant Dingolfing starting the same month. The worldwide market launch of the new BMW M5 will begin in November 2024; the new BMW M5 Touring will be launched simultaneously. Therefore, the key regions of sales for the high-performance sedan are North America and Europe.

Interior Design & Features

The new BMW M5 is equipped with a sporty interior, M-specific elements, a BMW curved display, and a refined touch. It’s a great place to drive such a beast!

Along with the M-specific control panel on the center console, the new BMW M5 has a sports car-inspired dashboard, a new flat-bottomed M leather steering wheel with integrated M buttons that are backlit, M multifunction seats with electrical adjustments, and the BMW Curved Display, which, like the standard BMW Head-Up Display, has M-specific content. Standard BMW Live Cockpit Professional also includes BMW Maps with navigation and the function of Augmented View on the control display.

An enhanced version of BMW iDrive comes as standard in the new BMW M5. It is based on BMW Operating System 8 as the framework of the system and is intended for touch control and natural speech control.

The digital technology now also comprises controls for climate control functions. Temperature, seat ventilation, air circulation intensity, and, if activated, the heating of the steering wheel can be set through a separate item in the lower layer of the control display, or by voice commands.

The standard Merino leather trim is also used for the interior and contributes to the car’s exclusive interior design along with the BMW Interaction Bar, four-zone climate control, heated front seats, and ambient lighting with M-specific interior lighting including Welcome Animation and the panoramic glass sunroof.

Standard specifications for that new BMW M5 also include the Bowers & Wilkins Surround Sound System, wireless charging tray, Comfort Access, alarm system, automatic boot opener, and more great features.

Some of the items that are listed in the options include the M Carbon exterior package, Alcantara headliner, steering wheel heater, active seat ventilation, and a trailer tow hitch.

Moreover, as for the new BMW M5, model-specific BMW M Performance Parts will also be provided. The options include M Performance forged light-alloy wheels and body parts manufactured using carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic.

Performance

The M HYBRID system of the new BMW M5 is a rear-wheel drive intelligent system which combines a 4.4-liter V8 engine and one electric motor at the rear axle.
The V8 engine with a classical high-revving character is supplemented by an electric motor with the performance tailored for the BMW M5 and connected to the eight-speed M Steptronic transmission.

The combustion engine has M TwinPower Turbo technology, Cross-bank exhaust manifold, and oil separation with a separate pipe. The power output stands at 430 kW (585 hp) and the torque is at its peak at 750 Nm (553 lb-ft). The maximum output of electric motor is 145 kW (197 hp). It has a nominal torque of 280 Nm or 206 lb-ft of torque but the pre-gearing stage allows the effective torque that reaches the input of the transmission to be increased to 450 Nm or 332 lb-ft.

The setup of the internal combustion engine and electric motor is not different from the one used in the BMW M Hybrid V8 race car. Thanks to the electric motor that can provide its power on demand and the intelligent management of the interaction between the combustion engine and the electric motor, the M HYBRID system is always ready to answer the movements made on the accelerator pedal.

Crisp linearity is a characteristic typical of BMW M models and here it is delivered in its best form. The eight-cylinder engine can reach its redline at 7,200 rpm because the new BMW M5 offers its driver the feeling of constant power increase in the higher zones for both load and revolutions. The standard top speed is 250 km/h, although the limiter can be set to 305 km/h with the addition of the M Driver’s Package option. Does this sound good, huh?

With its sports exhaust system, the new BMW M5 takes the performance experience into a new dimension with a holistic and emotionally appealing sound design. It has electrically controlled, fully variable flaps and two pairs of dual tailpipes that are typical of other M models; both sets have 100-millimeter trims in black chrome.

The sound accompaniment to the power delivery of the electric motor is BMW IconicSounds Electric. This M-specific electric drive sound delivers suitable reactions to the movements of the accelerator when the car is running in electric mode. It also consists of the appropriate drive system setup and produces a captivating sound to accompany the addition of more electric power to the V8 engine’s output.
