BMW M is redefining performance with the seventh generation of its iconic M5 sedan. This latest iteration marks a significant leap forward, introducing a groundbreaking electrified powertrain that delivers unparalleled performance and efficiency.
A New Era of M Performance
The 2025 BMW M5 boasts a potent M Hybrid drive system that seamlessly combines a high-revving V8 engine with an electric motor. This potent duo generates an astonishing 717 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque, propelling the M5 from 0 to 60 mph in a blistering 3.4 seconds. With the M Driver’s Package, top speed is electronically limited to 190 mph.
Beyond raw power, the M5’s electrified heart offers an estimated 25 miles of pure electric range, demonstrating BMW’s commitment to sustainable performance. The intelligent interaction between the combustion engine and electric motor, coupled with M xDrive all-wheel drive and an 8-speed M Steptronic transmission, creates a driving experience that redefines the benchmark for high-performance sedans.
A Symphony of Power and Efficiency
The 4.4-liter V8 engine at the core of the M Hybrid system delivers a thrilling combination of high revs and robust torque. Advanced technologies such as a cross-bank exhaust manifold, optimized turbochargers, and a weight-minimized oil sump contribute to both performance and efficiency.
The electric motor, seamlessly integrated into the transmission, adds an instant burst of power and torque, enhancing acceleration and overall responsiveness. Together, the V8 and electric motor create a harmonious symphony of performance, delivering breathtaking acceleration and impressive fuel efficiency.
Sophisticated Chassis and Handling
The M5’s exceptional performance is complemented by a meticulously engineered chassis. M-specific bracing, adaptive M suspension, and Integral Active Steering work in concert to deliver precise handling, exceptional agility, and unwavering stability. The available M Carbon ceramic brakes provide unmatched stopping power, while the M xDrive all-wheel-drive system with Active M Differential ensures optimal traction and performance in all conditions.
Cutting-Edge Technology
Inside the M5, drivers are greeted by a luxurious and driver-focused cockpit. The new M leather steering wheel, featuring integrated M buttons, allows for personalized vehicle setup. The center console houses an M-specific control panel for easy access to essential functions.
The M5 also incorporates advanced driver assistance systems, including the Driving Assistant Professional package, which offers features like Traffic Jam Assistant and Lane Keeping Assistant.
A Design Statement
The exterior of the 2025 BMW M5 is a bold expression of performance. Distinctive design elements such as the enlarged kidney grille, flared wheel arches, and muscular rear end convey the M5’s athletic character. The interior combines premium materials with M-specific accents, creating a cockpit that is both luxurious and performance-oriented.
The all-new BMW M5 is scheduled to arrive in dealerships in the fourth quarter of 2024 with a base MSRP of $119,500 plus $1,175 destination and handling.
