With 40 years of history having passed under its wheels, the legendary high-performance BMW M5 sedan has reached its seventh generation. And the executive model from BMW M now has an electrified drive system for the first time.
A model-specific version of the M Hybrid system gives the new BMW M5 a maximum system output of 717 hp and peak system torque of 738 lb-ft. Projected fully electric, zero emissions range of approximately 25 miles.
The combination of a high-revving V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology and an electric motor, abetted by an 8-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic and the M xDrive all-wheel-drive system gives drivers a new experience of the performance with which M models have made their name.
Performance data shows a 0-60 mph dash in just 3.4 seconds, on to a top speed of 190 mph with the M Driver’s Package.
Base MSRP $119,500 plus $1,175 destination and handling. Worldwide launch to commence in the fourth quarter of 2024.
