The new BMW M5 Every detail of the new BMW M5 expresses uncompromising M dynamism while fitting seamlessly into the flowing silhouette of a classic saloon.
From the dynamically modelled front with large air inlets via the aerodynamically optimised M wing mirrors, it draws the eye to the prominent side sills, behind which the powerful rear crouches as if ready to pounce.
A particularly striking innovation is the M kidney grille featuring the M5 logo between the Adaptive LED Headlights.

Driver and vehicle become a perfect team in the cockpit of the new BMW M5.
Each of the M-specific controls is ergonomically placed for optimum access. The hallmark M feeling is also conveyed by the M leather steering wheel, whose new design likewise takes visual cues from the double-spoke wheels. The interior has also gained an increase in volume of the storage compartment under the armrest in the centre console area. The control display of the standard-fitted iDrive operating system now features chrome trim on the sides.

This is the most powerful of all the BMW production engines and is distinguished by its enormous performance, outstanding power delivery, running smoothness and free-revving character.
