Munich. BMW M GmbH once again achieved outstanding sales growth in 2025. For no less than the 14th time in a row, the manufacturer of high-performance and performance vehicles reported record sales. And for the 7th time running, BMW M GmbH vehicles outsold their competitors by a considerable margin. A sales total of 213,457 vehicles surpassed the previous year’s excellent result (206,582 vehicles) by three per cent. Both the high-performance and performance models set new benchmarks. Keys to success in all markets are a state-of-the-art model range spanning many vehicle classes and an extensive portfolio of powertrain options. In 2025, nearly every tenth BMW sold was a BMW M model. This share of 9.8 per cent represents another milestone.

“Our 14th consecutive sales record validates our strategy. We will continue to offer performance and high-performance vehicles across the entire BMW model range. With fully electric, partly electric and all-ICE powertrains,” says Franciscus van Meel, CEO of BMW M GmbH.

High-performance executive models drive growth.
The high-performance models from BMW M GmbH combine racetrack capabilities with unrestricted everyday usability. BMW M5 models became key growth drivers in 2025. The BMW M5 Sedan (energy consumption, weighted, combined: 17.6–17.2 kWh/100 km and 5.0–4.8 l/100 km (WLTP); CO₂ emissions, weighted, combined: 114–108 g/km (WLTP); CO₂ classes: with discharged battery G, weighted, combined C; fuel consumption with discharged battery: 10.7–10.5 l/100 km (WLTP))*^,1 and the BMW M5 Touring (energy consumption, weighted, combined: 18.1–17.6 kWh/100 km and 5.3–5.0 l/100 km (WLTP); CO₂ emissions, weighted, combined: 119–114 g/km (WLTP); CO₂ classes: with discharged battery G, weighted, combined D–C; fuel consumption with discharged battery: 10.9–10.7 l/100 km (WLTP))*^,1 saw enormous sales increases in their first full year on the markets, making them key contributors to the success of BMW M GmbH. Both vehicles offer a model-specific version of the M HYBRID system with a peak output of 535 kW/727 hp and a maximum system torque of 1,000 Nm. A high-revving V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology and an electric motor combine with an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission to provide power to the M xDrive all-wheel drive system. The great appeal of the BMW M5 Touring was underscored by a “Golden Steering Wheel” award. This accolade is awarded by “Auto Bild” and “Bild am Sonntag”, both published by the German Axel Springer SE publishing house. The high-performance model achieved the highest points score of all finalists in the competition. Moreover, the distinguished jury rated the BMW M5 Touring ahead of the other class finalists in all driving disciplines, as well as in terms of efficiency and value for money.

The BMW M2 Coupé (fuel consumption, combined: 10.2–9.7 l/100 km; CO₂ emissions, combined: 230–221 g/km (WLTP), CO₂ class: G)* was the best-selling high-performance vehicle of 2025. This model is also available with a manual transmission (fuel consumption, combined: 10.2–9.7 l/100 km; CO₂ emissions, combined: 230–221 g/km (WLTP), CO₂ class: G)* and as an even more track-focused BMW M2 CS special model (fuel consumption, combined: 10.0 l/100 km; CO₂ emissions, combined: 226 g/km (WLTP), CO₂ class: G)*. This delivers 390 kW/530 hp of power and recently set a new record time of 7:25.5 minutes on the Nürburgring.

Favourite among performance enthusiasts: the BMW M3 family.
The BMW M3 models are another family of high-performance best-sellers. The series impresses with perfectly tailored model variants and includes sedans with various output levels. The BMW M3 entry-level model is a particularly purist vehicle that comes with a six-speed manual transmission and 353 kW/480 hp of power (fuel consumption, combined: 10.1 l/100 km; CO₂ emissions, combined: 230–229 g/km (WLTP), CO₂ class: G)*. Then there are the extremely popular Touring variants. 2025 also saw the launch of the BMW M3 CS Touring (fuel consumption, combined: 10.5 l/100 km; CO₂ emissions, combined: 238 g/km (WLTP), CO₂ class: G)*, the most sporting exemplar with 405 kW/551 hp. The large number of BMW M3 family sales is a clear sign of the model series’ continued allure and represents a major contribution to the new record of almost 71,500 high-performance vehicles sold.

M Performance model is BMW M GmbH best-seller.
A particularly popular model and also the best-selling BMW M GmbH vehicle of 2025 was the BMW X3 M50 (fuel consumption, combined: 8.3 l/100 km; CO₂ emissions, combined: 189 g/km (WLTP); CO₂ class: G)*. The top athlete in the premium mid-size SAV segment offers unique performance capabilities and a charismatic appearance. The M TwinPower Turbo engine, combined with 48-volt mild hybrid technology, delivers a maximum system output of 293 kW/398 hp. The power of the BMW X3 M50 is complemented by specific chassis technology and signature M design elements. With these attributes, it overtook the BMW i4 and its M60 Gran Coupé xDrive variant (energy consumption, combined (WLTP): 20.9 kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions, combined (WLTP): 0 g/km, CO₂ class: A)*, which delivers an output of 442 kW/601 hp and a range of up to 551 km. The electric BMW i4 range-topper was the best-selling BMW M GmbH model from 2022 to 2024. 

In 2025, nearly every tenth BMW sold was a BMW M model, and the sales share of 9.8 per cent (9.4 per cent in the year prior) represents another new record. BMW M vehicles are especially popular in Switzerland, where nearly every fourth BMW ordered is a BMW M model. 

Exceptional sales total, top spots in the individual markets.
In the key markets, BMW M GmbH vehicles led the field, beating their competitors by a considerable margin. The models were particularly coveted in the U.S., the largest single market at over 72,000 units sold. But BMW M models also achieved top positions in markets such as Canada, Germany, Korea, South Africa and the United Kingdom. In China, BMW M GmbH achieved its largest absolute sales increase.

Focused model strategy to secure and expand top position.
The state-of-the-art model portfolio with its comprehensive range of ICE, plug-in hybrid and all-electric vehicles is at the heart of BMW M GmbH success. The development of models based on the Neue Klasse will provide further momentum. “Our strategy of being open towards new technologies once again paid off in 2025. BMW M GmbH stands for optimal performance, independently of the powertrain type. In all markets and across all vehicle classes. Customers looking for a performance or high-performance vehicle will always find it at BMW M GmbH”, says Sylvia Neubauer, Vice President Customer, Brand, Sales at BMW M GmbH.

Motorsport remains a key pillar at BMW M GmbH.
The BMW M Motorsport race cars – the BMW M Hybrid V8, the BMW M4 GT3 EVO and the BMW M4 GT4 EVO – achieved a total of more than 180 victories in 2025. In works motorsport, the BMW M Hybrid V8 delivered a competitive performance in the first half of the FIA WEC season and the BMW M GmbH marks 14th consecutive record year. The best result of a season marked by highs and lows was the 1-2 finish at Road America. The BMW M4 GT3 EVO had a tremendous season. While the 1-2 victory at the Bathurst 12 Hour race in Australia was still won by the predecessor model, the EVO version seamlessly continued the series with top results. Triumphs at the Nürburgring 24 Hours (Germany), the Suzuka 1000 (Japan), the Indianapolis 8 Hour race and in the GTD Pro Class at the 6 Hours of the Glen and the Petit Le Mans (both U.S.) are among the highlights of a season that saw over 80 victories and 100 further podium finishes.

Teams driving the BMW M4 GT4 EVO achieved over 100 victories in the 2025 season. More than any other model, the BMW M4 GT4 is associated with customer racing. The victory in the SP10 at the Nürburgring 24 Hours was a particular high point. In the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie (NLS) racing series, these vehicles came out on top in nine out of ten races. Moreover, the BMW M4 GT4 EVO triumphed in all classes at the GT4 America. The strong results of the GT4 teams helped BMW M Motorsport secure the SRO manufacturers’ title in the GT4 segment. The 2026 season will see the debut of the BMW M2 Racing as a new entry-level vehicle complementing the model portfolio for customer racing.

Munich. The combination of performance, comfort over long distances and variable-use interior space shapes the exclusive character of the new BMW M5 Touring (petrol and electric power consumption – weighted, combined: 2.0 l/100 km [141.2 mpg imp] and 30.7 kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions – weighted, combined: 46 g/km; fuel consumption with discharged battery: 10.9 l/100 km [25.9 mpg imp] in the WLTP cycle; CO₂ classes: weighted, combined B, with discharged battery G). And customers can give the appearance and driving properties of their BMW M5 Touring an even more personalised flavour by dipping into the selection of BMW M Performance Parts, which will be offered for the five-door high-performance sports car from launch.

Like the M Carbon exterior package available ex-factory, the retrofit products from the range of Original BMW Accessories bring heightened visual charisma and further improved aerodynamic balance to the new BMW M5 Touring. Tailored precisely to the car’s geometry and manufactured to the highest standards of quality, the exterior components – which are made from carbon-fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) and aramid – give the car a particularly imposing presence on the road and the race track.

Exclusive looks and optimised aerodynamic attributes with M Performance Parts made from high-quality carbon fibre and aramid.

The sculptural front end, prominently flared wheel arches, long roofline, dynamically stretched side window graphic and powerful rear end play a formative role in giving the new BMW M5 Touring its inimitable, motor racing-inspired aura. And the model-specific BMW M Performance Parts for the exterior enrich the car’s athletic appearance with exclusive details that turn heads from every angle.

The two-section M Performance rear diffuser carbon fibre adds a particularly prominent accent. With its strikingly cut bars, it shines an even more intense spotlight on the muscular appearance of the rear end. Paired with the M Performance tailpipe trims for the exhaust system, it has an extremely effective visual impact. These trims are made from a titanium/carbon fibre mix and send out a crystal clear message of uncompromising performance with their milled titanium end rings and embossed M5 logo. The M Performance rear fins carbon fibre set an understated seal on the aerodynamic overall concept and add another sporting ingredient to the new BMW M5 Touring.

Finely judged enhancements for the design and aerodynamics also feature at the front of the new BMW M5 Touring. The M Performance front splitter carbon fibre, for example, fits neatly into the overall structure and showcases the central air intake to even more eye-catching effect. When viewing the car from the side, the M Performance sill extensions carbon fibre create an attractive visual connection with the stretched roofline of the new BMW M5 Touring. They emphasise the athletic aesthetic of the body’s side frame, which has a model-specific design – especially when the M Performance side decals Frozen Black are also specified. Additional highlights of the side view are the M exterior mirror caps carbon fibre and the M Performance aerial cover aramid. A high-tech fibre composite material, aramid has similar properties to carbon fibre, while also offering high electromagnetic permeability.

Authentic racing-car aura inside and outside the cockpit.

The M Performance fuel tank cap carbon fibre turns every refuel into a small pit stop. It is made from high-quality carbon fibre and has M Performance badging in brushed aluminium. The interior of the new BMW M5 Touring already majors on sporting appeal as standard, but it too can be given a finishing touch in the form of the M Performance floor mats. The four-piece set brings together high-quality leather-look edging with decorative stitching in contrasting colours and a sewn-in ribbon in the colours of BMW M GmbH.

The M Performance key case also exudes a clear sense of racing passion. The high-quality cover – made from Alcantara and leather in carbon fibre look – protects the car key against scratches and can be attached by means of a leather tab on the key fob. Meanwhile, the M Performance tyre bags provide unbeatable protection for wheel sets during transportation and storage. These also follow the bold M Performance design approach, come with markings indicating the wheel position, and have a reinforced handle for easy transportation.

All the BMW M Performance Parts have been developed with the help of over five decades of expertise amassed by BMW M GmbH. The products offered for the new BMW M5 Touring have been tested according to the BMW Group’s stringent quality guidelines and have undergone homologation alongside the overall vehicle, which means separate registration with the vehicle licensing authorities is not required.

Spielberg. The Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, Austria, served as the backdrop for the presentation of the winner’s car for the 2024 BMW M Award. On Thursday evening, BMW M GmbH unveiled the high-performance car that will be awarded to the fastest qualifier in MotoGP™ at the end of this season. With the all-new BMW M5 (energy consumption, weighted, combined: 1,7 – 1,6 l/100 km [166.2 – 176.6 mpg imp] and 25,5 – 25,0 kWh/100 km according to WLTP; CO₂ emissions, weighted, combined: 39 – 37 g/km according to WLTP; fuel consumption with discharged battery: 10,3 – 10,2 l/100 km [27.4 – 27.7 mpg imp] according to WLTP; CO₂ classes: weighted, combined B, with discharged battery G) BMW M GmbH continues its over 20-year tradition of honoring the achievements of the BMW M Award winner with a prize in the form of a groundbreaking, innovative BMW M vehicle. The winner's vehicle was unveiled during the Motorcycle Grand Prix of Austria by Dan Rossomondo, Chief Commercial Officer at MotoGP™ rights holder Dorna Sports, and Axel Mittler, Marketing Manager MotoGP™ at BMW M GmbH.

The all-new BMW M5 combines the proven qualities that have made M the most powerful letter in the world with pioneering technologies. The legendary high-performance sedan BMW M5, with 40 years of history under its belt, is entering its seventh model generation and powering into a new era. The executive model from BMW M GmbH now has an electrified drive system for the first time. A model-specific version of the M HYBRID system gives the new BMW M5 maximum output of 535 kW/727 hp and peak system torque of 1,000 Nm (737 lb-ft). The combination of a high-revving V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology and an electric motor, plus power transfer courtesy of an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission and M xDrive all-wheel drive, enables acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.5 seconds. The new BMW M5 made its world premiere in July at the Festival of Speed in Goodwood, UK, with its global market launch set to begin in November 2024.

“For more than two decades, BMW M GmbH has rewarded the winner of the BMW M Award with an amazing automobile, and the M5 this year is no different,” said Dan Rossomondo after the unveiling. “Beyond looking spectacular, it is full of groundbreaking technology, which perfectly embodies what MotoGP also stands for: performance, passion, and innovation. The BMW M Award is a key pillar of our decades-long partnership, a highly coveted prize among our riders, and a testament to how much BMW M GmbH values their achievements on the track. We are eager to see who will be the proud owner of the new BMW M5 this year.”

“The all-new BMW M5, following the BMW XM Label Red from the 2023 season, is the second BMW M Award winner’s car with an electrified drive system. It represents BMW M’s enthusiasm for future technologies,” added Axel Mittler. “The new BMW M5 is the current flagship of our model lineup and only had its world premiere a few weeks ago. We are very excited to present this brand-new high-performance model as the winner's car in the BMW M Award even before its market launch. It’s going to be an exciting race for this award, and we wish all the MotoGP riders the best of luck.”

Following the presentation, the two MotoGP™ riders, Aleix Espargaró und Raúl Fernández, had the opportunity to get a closer look at the new BMW M5 during laps around the Red Bull Ring.

The new BMW M5 is on display in the paddock during the Motorcycle Grand Prix of Austria. Another highlight is also on show: the new BMW M5 Touring (energy consumption, weighted, combined: 2.0 l/100 km [141.2 mpg imp] and 30.7 kWh/ 100 km; CO₂ emissions, weighted, combined: 46 g/ km; fuel consumption with discharged battery: 10.9 l/100 km [25.9 mpg imp] in the WLTP cycle; CO₂ classes, weighted, combined: B, with discharged battery G), which just had its world premiere in Pebble Beach, California, is also being showcased in Spielberg.

Since 2003, the BMW M Award has recognized the MotoGP™ rider with the best qualifying results. Riders earn points for their qualifying positions at each Grand Prix weekend, mirroring the points system used in the races. The rider who accumulates the most points by the end of the season wins the coveted BMW M Award. The record holder for the BMW M Award is Marc Márquez, who won the accolade seven times in a row from 2013 to 2019. In the past two years, Francesco Bagnaia has claimed the prestigious prize.

Dingolfing. A few days ago, BMW M GmbH unveiled the new BMW M5 (Energy consumption, weighted, combined: 1,7 – 1,6 l/100 km [166.2 – 176.6 mpg imp] and 25,5 – 25,0 kWh/100 km according to WLTP; CO2 emissions, weighted, combined: 39 – 37 g/km according to WLTP; fuel consumption with discharged battery: 10,3 – 10,2 l/100 km [27.4 – 27.7 mpg imp] according to WLTP; CO2 classes: weighted, combined B, with discharged battery G) and released the first official pictures. Today, the new high-performance sedan celebrated its official start of production at BMW Group Plant Dingolfing. The seventh-generation BMW M5 is the first to come off the assembly line with an electrified drive train: The model-specific M HYBRID system combines a V8 engine with an e-drive to deliver a system output of 727 hp, enabling it to sprint from 0 to 100 in just 3.5 seconds. The vehicle’s high-voltage battery, with an available energy content of 18.6 kWh, offers an electric range of 67 to up to 69 kilometres (WLTP) that is unique among its competitors.

“We are proud to be building the latest generation of the iconic M5 here in Dingolfing,” says Plant Director Christoph Schröder. The site already delivered the pre-assembled bodies for the very first BMW M5 models, back in the 1980s, which were then completed by hand at M GmbH in Garching. Since the second generation – or, to be more exact, 1988 – the high-performance sports car has been built entirely at the plant in Lower Bavaria.

Central components for the new BMW M5 are also produced on site or supplied by nearby component plants. Schröder refers to this as an “under on roof production approach”. For example, the chassis of the BMW M5, specially tailored to the model, comes from Dingolfing component plant 02.10, while the high-voltage battery is assembled next door at plant 02.20, the Competence Centre for E-Drive Production. The carbon-fibre roof is supplied by the plant in Landshut, located 30 kilometres away.

A unique aspect of production at the vehicle plant is the modifications already made in the body shop. Based on the BMW 5 Series standard production body, the BMW M5 features additional measures to stiffen the body structure and a specially widened body with flared wheel arches, thus also enabling the integration of the M-specific rear axle.

In the paint shop, customers can choose between ten standard and 150 special-request finishes for their new BMW M5.

The new BMW M5, like its predecessor, is assembled alongside other BMW 5 Series, BMW 4 Series and BMW M4 models on the same production line, where it is completed with specific equipment options, such as the CFRP rear spoiler, M steering wheel and M multifunction seats.

Over the coming weeks, production at the plant will gradually ramp up to several dozen BMW M5 vehicles per day. The European market launch of the new model is scheduled to get underway from 2 November 2024. By then, another new model will already be celebrating its premiere at Plant Dingolfing: the new BMW M5 Touring, which expands the BMW M GmbH offering and completes the new BMW 5 Series range.

The imposing power delivery and emotionally engaging performance experience served up by the new BMW M5 are accompanied by a new interpretation of the high-performance car design for which M is renowned. Prominent wheel arch and side skirt extensions, the sculptural front apron and model-specific surfacing around the C-pillar – including an embossed “M5” logo for the Hofmeister kink – give the car an athletic appearance that helps to differentiate it more clearly than ever from the BMW 5 Series Sedan. At the same time, an unusually high proportion of surfaces painted in body colour create a puristic appearance with stylish references to its superior dynamic talents.

As such, the exterior design – like the ambience of the luxurious interior, which is enhanced with M-specific features – accentuates the multi-layered character of the new BMW M5. Its sense of poise and assurance is fuelled by vast reserves of power that can be summoned at any time. Kept discreetly in reserve during relaxed, electric-only cruises, this performance comes vividly to the fore as the BMW M5 reveals the “sporty sedan” side to its personality over longer distances – and is unleashed in full during sessions on the track.

The M HYBRID system, plus power transmission and chassis technology tuned to its specific performance characteristics, give the new BMW M5 transverse and longitudinal dynamics unparalleled in this market segment. Together with its similarly outstanding elasticity, the new BMW M5 takes M performance into a new dimension.

The world premiere of the new BMW M5 will take place at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in England in July 2024, with production at BMW Group Plant Dingolfing beginning the same month. The worldwide market launch of the new BMW M5 will start in November 2024 and be accompanied by the introduction of the new BMW M5 Touring at the same time. The most important sales regions for the high-performance sedan are North America and Europe. The USA is the single biggest individual market by some distance, followed by Great Britain, Germany, South Korea, China, Japan and Canada.

M HYBRID drive system in the new BMW M5: intoxicating performance, impressive electric range.

The M HYBRID drive system in the new BMW M5 brings a 4.4-litre
V8 engine with classical high-revving character together with an electric motor, whose performance characteristics are tuned specifically for the BMW M5 and which is integrated into the eight-speed M Steptronic transmission. The combustion engine benefits from cutting-edge M TwinPower Turbo technology, a cross-bank exhaust manifold and optimised oil separation. It develops maximum output of 430 kW/585 hp and peak torque of 750 Nm (553 lb-ft). The maximum output of the electric motor is 145 kW/197 hp. It has nominal torque of 280 Nm (206 lb-ft), but a pre-gearing stage allows effective torque at the transmission input to be increased to 450 Nm (332 lb-ft).

The combination of combustion engine and electric motor adheres to the same principle as the drive system in the BMW M Hybrid V8 endurance racing machine. The ability of the electric motor to generate its power instantly and the intelligently controlled interplay of the combustion engine and motor ensure the M HYBRID system responds without delay to every movement of the accelerator. The linear power delivery typical of BMW M models is found here in particularly compelling form. The eight-cylinder engine can spin to a maximum 7,200 rpm as the new BMW M5 treats its driver to the sensation of relentless power development into the upper reaches of the load and speed ranges. Top speed is limited to 250 km/h (155 mph) as standard, but the limiter can be raised to 305 km/h (189 mph) if the optional M Driver’s Package is specified.

The sports exhaust system of the new BMW M5 underscores the performance experience with a multi-faceted and emotionally enthralling engine note. It features electrically controlled, continuously adjustable flaps and the two pairs of dual tailpipes familiar from other M models, each with 100-millimetre trims in Black Chrome.

Providing an acoustic accompaniment to the power delivery of the electric motor is BMW IconicSounds Electric. This M-specific electric drive sound provides authentic responses to movements of the accelerator when the car is operating in all-electric mode. With the relevant drive system configuration, it also generates an engaging track to highlight the arrival of extra electric power on top of the output from the V8 engine.

In all-electric operating mode, the new BMW M5 can hit speeds of up to 140 km/h (87 mph). The high-voltage battery located low in the car’s underbody has 18.6 kWh of usable energy, enabling an electric range of 67 – 69 kilometres (42 – 43 miles) in the WLTP cycle, which is unmatched by any rival. The Combined Charging Unit of the new BMW M5 allows AC charging at up to 7.4 kW.

The power generated by the combustion engine and electric motor is channelled to the road via the all-wheel-drive system M xDrive, whose rear-biased setup is particularly pronounced in 4WD Sport mode. However, the driver can also select 2WD mode. This sends drive exclusively to the rear wheels with the DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) system switched off, which will appeal to experienced drivers who prefer a performance experience of the pure-bred variety. This further developed iteration of M xDrive – like the electronically controlled Active M Differential at the rear axle – is tailored specially to the performance characteristics of the M HYBRID drive system.

Sophisticated chassis technology with M-specific tuning.

The chassis design of the new BMW M5 comprises a double-wishbone front axle and a five-link rear axle with bespoke kinematics and elastokinematics, plus a host of other specially tuned components. The electrically assisted rack-and-pinion steering with M Servotronic and variable steering ratio has a rigid connection to the front axle subframe to ensure optimal feedback from the road and a high degree of directional accuracy. In conjunction with the wide tracks and the excellent torsional rigidity of the body and chassis mountings, this combination produces the handling attributes for which BMW M models are renowned, shaped by agility, precision and the linear build-up of lateral forces when the driver is pushing on.

Also fitted as standard are adaptive M suspension with electronically controlled dampers and Integral Active Steering, which steers the rear wheels by up to 1.5 degrees. M-specific tuning, the individually selectable settings and the ability to adjust the dampers at each wheel individually optimise the body’s connection to the road and maximise the car’s spread of talents – from everyday driving comfort to race-ready dynamic prowess. Turning the rear wheels as required improves directional stability at high speed, as well as agility and comfort when manoeuvring.

Traction, agility and directional stability all benefit from near-actuator wheel slip limitation and the networking of all control systems within the integrated transverse dynamics management setup. Both the standard M Compound brakes and optional M Carbon ceramic brakes combine with an integrated braking system that presents the driver with two pedal feel settings. M light-alloy wheels (20-inch at the front axle,
21-inch at the rear) come as standard and are fitted with high-performance tyres.

Assistance systems for assured and comfortable driving.

A much wider selection of standard and optional systems for automated driving and parking than was offered for the predecessor model takes assurance and comfort in day-to-day driving to another new level. Standard specification for the new BMW M5 brings features such as front collision warning, Lane Departure Warning including lane return with steering assistance, the Evasion Assistant, the Attentiveness Assistant and the Speed Limit Info system. The optional Driving Assistant Professional adds Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go function together with tech including the Steering and Lane Control Assistant, traffic light detection, automatic Speed Limit Assist and Active Navigation.

The new BMW M5 is equipped as standard with the Parking Assistant including Reversing Assistant. Meanwhile, the optional Parking Assistant Professional allows automated parking and manoeuvring over a distance of up to 200 metres to be controlled from inside the car or by smartphone from outside the car.

Fresh scope for adjusting the driving experience to personal taste.

The control panel on the centre console of the new BMW M5 houses a model-specific composition of buttons which can be used to tailor the driving experience to individual preferences in a variety of ways. The Setup button provides direct access to the configuration of the drive system, Drivelogic, chassis, steering, braking system and M xDrive, as well as the intensity of brake energy recuperation. Two overall vehicle setups can be stored and selected using the M buttons on the steering wheel. The Launch Control function is available in all the M Setup menu settings with the exception of the M xDrive system’s 2WD mode.

Pushing the DSC button activates M Dynamic Mode, which raises the DSC intervention thresholds when it comes to applying brake inputs and reducing engine output. It is also possible to switch DSC off completely. Another button allows the driver to select M Mode. When they switch from the default ROAD setting to SPORT, interventions from the driver assistance systems are restricted to just the essential functions required for sporty driving, as is the content shown in the information display. If the customer specifies the optional M Drive Professional, they can also make use of TRACK mode. Other features of M Drive Professional include the M Laptimer and the Boost Control function, which maximises longitudinal dynamics when executing mid-range sprints and overtaking manoeuvres.

The operating mode of the M HYBRID system can also be adjusted as desired. The new M Hybrid button allows the driver to choose between HYBRID mode – for intelligently controlled interplay between the combustion engine and electric motor to maximise either efficiency or performance, depending on the driving situation – and the ELECTRIC setting, in which the combustion engine is only brought into play by accelerator kickdown or using the gearshift paddles. eCONTROL mode is used for effective brake energy recuperation and maintaining battery charge at a constant level. And M Drive Professional adds DYNAMIC and DYNAMIC PLUS modes to the mix, which prime the drive system and cooling system to keep output at a constantly high level or generate short bursts of maximum output during committed track driving.

Progressive sports car cockpit, M-specific displays on the BMW Curved Display, exclusive ambience.

As well as the M-specific control panel on the centre console, the progressive sports car cockpit of the new BMW M5 also contains a newly designed, flat-bottomed M leather steering wheel with illuminated M buttons, M multifunction seats with a wide range of electric adjustment and the BMW Curved Display which, like the standard BMW Head-Up Display, includes M-specific content. The standard BMW Live Cockpit Professional also brings the BMW Maps navigation system and the Augmented View function on the control display.

An upgraded version of BMW iDrive features as standard in the new BMW M5. It is based on BMW Operating System 8.5 and designed squarely for use via touch control and natural speech. The digital tech now also covers the controls for the climate control functions. Temperature selection, airflow intensity, seat heating and – if specified – the steering wheel heating can now be controlled by touch via a menu item in the lower section of the control display or by voice command.

Munich. The prototypes are carefully disguised, but they cannot conceal their character as high-performance cars. The future generation of the BMW M5 has entered the practical phase of its series development process. The new highperformance
sedan from BMW M GmbH is now completing its test drives on public roads, BMW Group proving grounds and racetracks around the world.

Moreover, fans of the BMW M brand can look forward to a further result of the product offensive that will continue into the year 2024. BMW M GmbH has now officially confirmed that with the new edition of the BMW M5, it will be adding a Touring variant to its model range. The perfect symbiosis of M-typical performance, uncompromising long-distance comfort and impressive
spaciousness will experience a renaissance in 2024 with the new BMW M5 Touring.

Just like the future BMW M5 Sedan, the Touring variant will also feature a completely newly developed partially electrified drive system. Its M-typical performance characteristics as well as the precisely tuned chassis technology refined with innovative systems facilitate driving dynamics and agility at a level unique in this vehicle class. Thus, BMW M GmbH is steadily progressing on its path to electrification. "We are now also installing a hybrid drive system with typical M performance in other high-performance cars," says Dirk Häcker, Head of Development at BMW M GmbH.

For almost 40 years now, the BMW M5 has been the benchmark for driving dynamics, agility and precision in the high-performance sedan segment. Evolutionary progress, development know-how from racing and pioneering innovations in the areas of drive, suspension, aerodynamics and lightweight construction have shaped the history of the BMW M5. Engines with six, eight and ten cylinders, M TwinPower Turbo technology and high-revving characteristics, the compound brake system with M Carbon ceramic brakes and M xDrive four-wheel drive are just some of the technological milestones with which this model has repeatedly redefined top performance in a sedan that is unconditionally suitable for everyday use. The seventh generation of the BMW M5 takes up on this – with fascinating innovations for an even more intense performance experience.

The first BMW M5 Touring was launched back in 1992 on the basis of the secondgeneration BMW M5 Sedan and has since stood for a combination of high performance and everyday practicality on four wheels. In 2007, BMW M GmbH also added a Touring variant to the fourth-generation BMW M5. And currently, the successful launch of the first BMW M3 Competition Touring with M xDrive* also underscores the high appeal of this special vehicle concept in the premium midrange segment of high-performance cars.

Testing of the first prototypes of the new BMW M5 Touring is to commence in the next few days in urban traffic as well as on country roads and motorways around Munich and at the BMW M GmbH headquarters in Garching. The integrated application of all drive and suspension systems will then also be carried out for the new BMW M5 Touring on the Nürburgring's Nordschleife, among other places,
with the aim of ensuring the ideal balance of sporting performance on the racetrack and superior ride comfort in everyday driving and over long distances.

BMW M GmbH širi svoj nabor posebej športnih modelov CS z uvedbo BMW M5 CS (kombinirana poraba goriva: 11,3–10,9 l/100 km skladno z WLTP; kombinirane emisije CO2: 257–248 g/km skladno z WLTP). Ekskluzivni model posebne izdaje v omejeni seriji, ki bo do štirim osebam pričaral neverjetno izkušnjo vožnje, združuje vrhunske lastnosti visoke zmogljivosti z razkošnim videzom.

4,4-litrski motor V8 z največjo močjo 467 kW (635 KM) spremeni BMW M5 CS v najzmogljivejši avtomobil v zgodovini oddelka BMW M. Med standardno konfiguracijo opreme je mogoče najti osemstopenjski menjalnik M Steptronic s funkcijo Drivelogic in sistem štirikolesnega pogona M xDrive, ki omogoča tudi izbiro načina 2WD za čisti adrenalin s pogonom na zadnji kolesni par.

Zaradi dosledno uporabljenega koncepta lahke konstrukcije tehta približno 70 kilogramov manj v primerjavi z BMW M5 Competition (kombinirana poraba goriva: 11,3–10,9 l/100 km skladno z WLTP; kombinirane emisije CO2: 259–249 g/km skladno z WLTP). Z novo nastavitvijo nosilnih vzmeti na sprednji in zadnji premi ter z izpopolnjenim nadzorom blažilnikov je bilo podvozje prilagojeno nižji masi vozila in povečanemu potencialu zmogljivosti standardnih tekmovalnih pnevmatik Pirelli P Zero Corsa kombinirane velikosti (spredaj: 275/35 R 20, zadaj: 285/35 R 20).

BMW M5 CS pospeši od 0 do 100 km/h v samo treh sekundah, od 0 do 200 km/h pa v 10,4 sekunde. Njegova največja hitrost je elektronsko omejena na 305 km/h.

V izjemni izkušnji vožnje na krovu BMW M5 CS lahko uživajo do štiri osebe – voznik in sovoznik na sedežih M Carbon ter dva potnika na samostojnih zadnjih sedežih. Prevleke iz črnega usnja Merino (finozrnato za sprednja sedeža) obsegajo privlačne kontrastne poudarke in okrasne šive v barvi Mugello Red. Integrirani nasloni za glavo – z osvetljenim logotipom M5 za sprednja sedeža – imajo vdelan obris legendarne severne pentlje Nürburgringa.

Perforirana oznaka z rdečim ozadjem na sredini M volana iz Alcantare se zgleduje po volanu klasičnega dirkalnika. Prestavna vzvoda sta iz karbonskih vlaken, kraki volana pa imajo masko iz črnega kroma.

Nepremičen lahek pokrov na sredinski konzoli nadomešča običajen naslon za roko s pokrovom, ki ga je mogoče odpirati. Njegovo prevleko iz črnega usnja Merino dopolnjujejo rdeči dvojni šivi. Rdeča barva se ponovno pojavi pri znački "CS" na armaturni plošči in med zadnjima sedežema školjkaste oblike.

Okvir ledvičke BMW pri BMW M5 CS ter značke "M5 CS" na ledvički, bočnih režah za zrak v obliki M škrg in pokrovu prtljažnika so obdelani v izrazitem barvnem odtenku Gold Bronze, prav tako kot 20-palčna M kovana platišča v zasnovi Y-krakov (spredaj: 9,5 J x 20, zadaj: 10,5 J x 20). Vstopne letve na pragovih vrat so opremljene z osvetljenim napisom "M5 CS".

Svetlobne cevi oblike črke L v laserskih žarometih BMW pri vklopu zasenčenih, dolgih ali pozdravnih luči svetijo v rumeni namesto beli barvi, kar prikliče v spomin klasične dirkalnike GT.

Pokrov motorja, sprednji podaljšek odbijača, pokrovi zunanjih ogledal, zadnji spojler, zadnji difuzor, prekrivalo M Power v motornem prostoru in dušilnik sesalnih šumov so iz plastike, utrjene s karbonskimi vlakni (CFK). Nekateri sestavni deli imajo vidna karbonska vlakna.

Standardna specifikacija opreme za M5 CS zajema tudi športni izpušni sistem iz nerjavečega jekla s štirimi zaključki izpušnih cevi brez okrasnih mask in keramične zavore M Carbon, katerih zavorna sedla so standardno lakirana v rdeči, opcijsko pa v zlati barvi.

Poleg kovinskega barvnega odtenka Brands Hatch Grey sta na voljo še ekskluzivni lakiranji BMW Individual matiranega videza kovinskih barv Frozen Brands Hatch Grey in Frozen Deep Green.

Prihod novega BMW M5 CS v prodajne salone je predviden za pomlad 2021, v Sloveniji pa bo kupcem na voljo od 196.850 evrov dalje.

• BMW M GmbH je svoji limuzini BMW M5 (kombinirana poraba goriva: 11 l/100 km; kombinirane emisije CO2: 251 g/km*) in BMW M5 Competition** visoke zmogljivosti prenovil bolje kot kdajkoli prej z nekaj slogovnimi izboljšavami in natančno izpopolnjenim konceptom upravljanja. 4,4-litrski osemvaljnik s tehnologijo BMW M TwinPower Turbo proizvede 441 kW/600 KM pri BMW M5 in 460 kW/625 KM pri BMW M5 Competition. Osemstopenjski menjalnik M Steptronic s funkcijo Drivelogic je standarden tako kot sistem štirikolesnega pogona M xDrive, ki vključuje tudi nastavitev 2WD za pogon izključno na zadnji par koles.
• BMW M5 Competition, ki je opremljen z novimi blažilniki od BMW M8 Gran Coupé in posebej uglašenim podvozjem, ponuja še boljše vozne lastnosti in obnašanje med vožnjo na meji v kombinaciji z vrhunsko ravnjo udobja. BMW M5 Competition ima sedem milimetrov nižjo lego kot BMW M5 in vključuje dobro premišljene izboljšave na podvozju in vzmeteh. Z novo nastavitvijo dobi avtomobil dodatno moč in se resnično izkaže na dirkališču.
• BMW M5 pospeši od 0–100 km/h v samo 3,4 sekunde in preseže 200 km/h po le 11,1 sekunde. BMW M5 Competition oba mejnika doseže še nekoliko prej: 100 km/h opravi v 3,3 sekunde, 200 km/h pa v 10,8 sekunde.
• Tako kot pri običajnem BMW serije 5 se posodobljena maska hladilnika v značilni obliki dvojne ledvičke BMW spusti še nižje v podaljšan sprednji odbijač; kromiran okvir ima zdaj enodelno zasnovo, ki uokvirja oba elementa ledvičke z M dvojnimi letvicami in M-značko.
• Preoblikovan podaljšan sprednji odbijač ima drznejše obrise in večji vstopni odprtini za zrak ob straneh, velika osrednja odprtina šesterokotne oblike pa daje zatočišče oljnemu hladilniku skupaj z radarskim senzorjem aktivnega asistenta za uravnavanje hitrosti (ACC).
• Nove svetlobne cevi v obliki črke L, ki se v ozkih progah raztezajo proti ledvički, zagotavljajo dinamičen razcvet na novo zasnovanim LED-žarometom. Nova opcija luči BMW Individual Shadow Line pa daje zatemnjen poudarek prilagodljivim LED-žarometom in BMW laserskim lučem.
• LED zadnje luči so zdaj dobile tridimenzionalno zasnovo, s svojo natančno svetlobno grafiko pa zagotavljajo svežo interpretacijo svetil BMW na zadku značilne L-oblike.
• Večji nadzorni prikazovalnik z 12,3-palčno diagonalo omogoča doslej najlažje budno spremljanje neštetih funkcij sistemov vozne dinamike in BMW M xDrive.
• Nov koncept upravljanja z dvema gumboma na sredinski konzoli prihaja od BMW M8. Gumb M Mode omogoča vozniku hitro preklapljanje med nastavitvami načinov ROAD in SPORT. Gumb Setup pa jih nato vključi naravnost v meni osrednjega prikazovalnika, kjer je mogoče izbrati posamezno konfiguracijo za možnosti pogonskega sklopa in podvozja. BMW M5 Competition ponuja tudi način TRACK, za pristen občutek najmočnejše črke M na dirkališčih.
• Kovinski barvi Brands Hatch Grey in Motegi Red sta novi tako kot barve BMW Individual v kovinskih odtenkih Tanzanite Blue II, Aventurine Red II in Frozen Bluestone matiranega videza. Kovinska barva Champagne Quartz se je preimenovala v kovinsko Alvit Grey.
• 20-palčna M-platišča z dvojnimi kraki v polirani barvi Orbit Grey, ki so se preizkusila že pri BMW M8, so na voljo v naboru dodatne opreme.
• Standardne zavore M Compound pa bodo kupci lahko naročili z zavornimi čeljustmi ali v črni ali rdeči barvi visokega sijaja kot alternativo tovarniški modri barvi.

Novi BMW M5 (kombinirana poraba goriva: 10,5 l/100 km*; kombinirane emisije CO2: 241 g/km*) popelje oddelek BMW M GmbH na nov teritorij s pomočjo sistema štirikolesnega pogona M xDrive, ki je prvič na voljo v limuzini visoke zmogljivosti. Sprememba taktike omogoča, da vozilo M5 odkrije nove dinamične dimenzije in ponudi še večjo uporabnost v vsakodnevnem življenju v vseh voznih razmerah. Novo vozilo je zavezano razvoju tradicije koncepta v obliki luksuzne poslovne limuzine s štirimi vrati in z naklonjenostjo do dirkališča, ki je bil javnosti prvič na ogled leta 1984 s prvo generacijo BMW M5.

M xDrive, ki je nov razvojni dosežek oddelka BMW M GmbH, je najbolj vznemirljiv sistem štirikolesnega pogona, ki vstopa v segment vozil visoke zmogljivosti. Deluje s pomočjo osrednjega razdelilnega gonila z lamelno sklopko in porazdeljuje moč popolnoma spremenljivo med sprednjo in zadnjo premo, odvisno od potreb. Naslednja sestavina v okviru zagotavljanja vrhunske trakcije v vseh razmerah na cesti in vremenskih pogojih je aktivni M diferencial na zadnji premi, ki ravno tako deluje popolnoma spremenljivo in ima učinek zapore med 0 in 100 %.

Značaj M xDrive se lahko prilagodi po želji. Voznik lahko izbira med različnimi konfiguracijami, ki temeljijo na kombinacijah z načini DSC (DSC on, MDM, DSC off) in M xDrive (4WD, 4WD Sport, 2WD). V osnovni nastavitvi z aktiviranim DSC (dinamični nadzor stabilnosti) in štirikolesnim pogonom, sistem omogoča rahlo zdrsovanje zadnjih koles pri dodajanju plina iz ovinka – in s tem odigra svojo vlogo pri dajanju športne agilnosti novemu vozilu BMW M5. V M Dynamic Mode (MDM, 4WD Sport) omogoča M xDrive enostavno nadzorovane zdrse. Trije načini M xDrive z izklopljenim DSC so zasnovani zato, da potešijo apetite ambicioznih voznikov, predvsem pa so namenjeni uporabi na dirkalni stezi. Tukaj lahko voznik izbira med tremi konfiguracijami, vključno z možnostjo, kjer se prenos moči izvaja izključno prek zadnjega kolesnega para (2WD). Ta način omogoča vozniku, da izbere kot zdrsa, s tem pa pravim poznavalcem ponudi vozno dinamiko v svoji najbolj čisti obliki.

4,4-litrski motor V8 z dvojnim turbinskim polnjenjem in tehnologijo M TwinPower Turbo oskrbuje novo vozilo BMW M5 z ogromnimi zalogami moči. Inženirji oddelka BMW M so na pogonski enoti odhajajočega modela izvedli znatne spremembe. Na primer, novo razvita turbopolnilnika, ultra učinkovito posredno hlajenje polnilnega zraka in višji tlak vbrizgavanja goriva pripomorejo z dvigu moči in navora. Motor razvije 441 kW/600 KM pri 5.600 – 6.700 vrt/min, medtem ko je gromozanskih 750 Nm navora vozniku na razpolago že od 1.800 vrt/min in se ohrani vse do 5.600 vrt/min. Oljna črpalka s popolnoma spremenljivim delovanjem na osnovi karakterističnega diagrama je aktivna ko in kadar jo novo vozilo BMW M5 potrebuje, tudi na dirkališču. Izvrstne zmogljivostne številke vozila govorijo same zase: od 0 do 100 km/h v le 3,4 sekunde, od 0 do 200 km/h pa v 11,1 sekunde. Največja hitrost je elektronsko omejena na 250 km/h, vendar se lahko ob izbiri opcije M Driver’s paketa užitek v vožnji nadaljuje vse do 305 km/h.

Novo vozilo BMW M5 usmerja vso to moč prek posebej uglašenega 8-stopenjskega menjalnika M Steptronic s funkcijo Drivelogic. V načinu D nudi vse udobje in priročnost povsem avtomatskega menjavanja prestav, lahko pa preklopi tudi na sekvenčno ročno prestavljanje. Voznik lahko to počne bodisi z uporabo kompaktne prestavne ročice na sredinski konzoli ali prek prestavnih vzvodov na volanu. Funkcija Drivelogic omogoča vozniku, da prilagodi karakteristike menjalnika svojim osebnim željam. Pri uporabi na dirkališču omogoča 8-stopenjski menjalnik M Steptronic bliskovite prestavne čase, kar dodatno podpira zares izjemno agilnost in dinamično noto novega vozila BMW M5.

Tudi podvozje novega vozila BMW M5 je oblikovano, da zagotovi največjo možno trakcijo pri vsakodnevni uporabi in vrhunsko dinamično zmogljivost na dirkališču. Podobno kot motor, menjalnik in sistem M xDrive, je bilo uglašeno s strani strokovnjakov in testnih dirkačev na raznih dogodkih, vključno z najzahtevnejšo preizkuševalno stezo na svetu, kot je slovita severna pentlja Nürburgringa. Dovršeni elementi za utrjevanje v sprednjih in zadnjih strukturah zagotavljajo, da je struktura karoserije ekstremno toga, zaradi česar posreduje vozilo takojšnjo povratno informacijo, zlasti med visokimi obremenitvami na dirkališču, ko ga voznik priganja do skrajnosti.

Pri nastavitvi sistema spremenljivega nadzora blažilnikov (VDC), ki ima M-specifično uglasitev, in krmiljenja M Servotronic lahko voznik prav tako izbira med načini Comfort, Sport in Sport Plus, medtem ko se lahko karakteristike motorja konfigurirajo po želji voznika prek načinov Efficient, Sport in Sport Plus. Gumba M1 in M2 na M usnjenem volanu se lahko uporabljata za shranjevanje dveh nastavitev, ki združujeta voznikove želje za motor, menjalnik, podvozje, načine M xDrive, način DSC in nastavitve projiciranega zaslona. Voznik lahko nato prikliče svojo želeno nastavitev s pritiskom ustreznega gumba.

Novo vozilo BMW M5 obsega spremembe na karoseriji v primerjavi z običajnim BMW serije 5, da zadovolji svojo zelo ambiciozno dinamiko. Inženirji oddelka BMW M so preoblikovali širši bočni steni spredaj in sprednji odbijač, ki vključuje večje vstopne odprtine za zrak – za hladilne sisteme in zavore. Nov je tudi zadnji difuzor. Kvartet izpušnih cevi izpušnega sistema je vizualni pokazatelj moči, ki jo proizvaja vozilo BMW M5, medtem ko drži roko nad primernim zvočnim zapisom, ki se predvaja s pomočjo sistema krmiljenja lopute. Voznik lahko z gumbom prilagodi zvok motorja po želji.

Pokrov motorja, ki ima M-specifično obliko, je izdelan iz aluminija in se ponaša z zelo privlačnimi skulpturnimi linijami. Te se razširijo v ekstremno lahko streho iz plastike, ojačene z ogljikovimi vlakni (CFRP), ki je del standardne opreme za novega M5. Privarčevana masa s strani strehe iz kompozitov CFRP in drugih komponent, kot je izpušni sistem lahke konstrukcije, pomagajo zagotoviti, da je novo vozilo BMW M5 s štirikolesnim pogonom M xDrive lažje od svojega predhodnika.

Novo vozilo BMW M5 je standardno opremljeno z M zavorami s sestavljeno konstrukcijo, ki so lažje od konvencionalnih izdelkov iz sive litine in s tem prav tako prispevajo k znižanju skupne mase vozila. Z modro lakiranimi pritrjenimi zavornimi sedli s šestimi bati spredaj, enobatnimi plavajočimi zavornimi sedli zadaj in perforiranimi zavornimi koluti s prisilnim hlajenjem imajo M zavore s sestavljeno konstrukcijo na voljo zmogljivost kot se spodobi za dinamično moč vozila. Dodatno razpoložljive M Carbon keramične zavore, ki se lahko prepoznajo po zavornih sedlih zlate barve in ki privarčujejo dodatnih 23 kilogramov skupne mase vozila M5, lahko prenašajo še večje obremenitve.

Novo vozilo BMW M5 je standardno opremljeno s poliranimi 19-palčnimi platišči (velikost spredaj 9,5 x 19 in zadaj 10,5 x 19) v barvi Orbit Grey in M-specifičnimi pnevmatikami (velikost spredaj 275/40 R 19 in zadaj 285/40 R 19). 20-palčna platišča so na voljo v ponudbi dodatne opreme (velikost spredaj 9,5 x 20 s pnevmatikami 275/35 R 20 in zadaj 10,5 x 20 s pnevmatikami 285/35 R 20). Standardna specifikacija za novo vozilo BMW M5 prav tako obsega oblazinjenje v usnju Merino in M sedeža za voznika in sovoznika z električno nastavitvijo. Seznam možnosti vključuje tudi novo razvita M multifunkcijska sedeža, ki izstopata s svojo školjkasto konstrukcijo in še boljšo bočno oporo.

Trgovci z vozili BMW M bodo naročila za novo vozilo BMW M5 sprejemali od meseca septembra 2017, medtem ko bo zanj treba odšteti vsaj 117.900 evrov. Dobava je predvidena za pomlad leta 2018. Vzporedno s prihodom na trg standardnega M5 je predviden tudi začetek prodaje posebne izdaje vozila, to je BMW M5 First Edition. Različica posebne izdaje, katere proizvodnja je omejena na 400 primerkov po vsem svetu, ima kovinsko lakiranje BMW Individual Frozen Dark Red, zanjo pa bo treba odšteti dodatnih 19.500 evrov

München. Novo vozilo BMW M5 (kombinirana poraba goriva: 10,5 l/100 km; kombinirane emisije CO2: 241 g/km) je najbolj navdušujoča in emocionalno-vznemirljiva limuzina z visoko zmogljivostjo iz te modelne ponudbe, kar jih je kdaj koli proizvedlo podjetje BMW M. Šesta generacija tega enkratnega športnega stroja bo vstopila na trg v letu 2017 in bo opremljena s sistemom M xDrive, katerega tehnologija štirikolesnega pogona omogoča še bolj intenzivno doživetje dinamične sposobnosti te poslovne limuzine. Zraven svoje občutno povečane zmogljivosti se novo vozilo BMW M5 ponaša tudi z veliko večjo vsakodnevno uporabnostjo in ponosno držo. V vseh pogledih torej predstavlja naslednji korak v evoluciji na področju izjemno uspešnega koncepta vozila, ki se je prvič pojavilo leta 1984, ko je na trg vstopilo prvotno vozilo BMW M5.

Vrhunski pogonski sklop: M xDrive.

Vozna dinamika z visoko zmogljivostjo na eni strani, združena z vsakodnevno uporabnostjo in kakovostjo poslovne limuzine na drugi strani: to najbolje povzame M tradicionalen pristop k razvoju modelov vozil – pristop, ki si prizadeva za uskladitev posameznih pogonskih komponent v brezhibno celoto.

„Bistvena komponenta sistema M xDrive je osrednja inteligentna enota s programsko opremo, značilno za M vozila, ki zagotavlja celovit nadzor nad vzdolžno in prečno dinamiko. Nova tehnologija pogonskega sklopa – ki je svoj prvi nastop doživela v novem vozilu BMW M5 –združuje agilnost in natančnost osnovnega pogona na zadnja kolesa s ponosno držo in trakcijo sistema štirikolesnega pogona,“ pojasnjuje Frank van Meel, predsednik upravnega odbora podjetja BMW M GmbH. „Rezultat je, da se lahko novo vozilo BMW M5 ponaša z znano mešanico športnosti in nezmotljivo natančnostjo tako na dirkalnih stezah kot na odprti cesti – in seveda tudi v različnih vremenskih razmerah.“

Sistem M xDrive omogoča enkratno nastavitev s poudarkom na zadnjih kolesih, pri kateri se sprednji kolesi vključita samo takrat, kadar zadnji kolesi nista zmožni na cesto prenesti še več moči in je potrebna dodatna vlečna sila. Tudi ko novo vozilo BMW M5 z M xDrive vozite na posebej športen način in sprostite njegovo visoko stopnjo moči, se obnaša predvidljivo in ga lahko voznik povsem enostavno nadzoruje, s čimer si utira pot do še bogatejših izkušenj izrednih zmožnosti zmogljivosti te poslovne limuzine.

Voznik lahko izbira med petimi različnimi nastavitvami, ki temeljijo na kombinacijah načinov vožnje DSC (DSC vključen/on, MDM, DSC izključen/off) in načini vožnje M xDrive (4WD, 4WD Sport, 2WD).

Nastavitve omogočajo, da se značilnosti pogonskega sistema prilagodijo tako osebnim željam in potrebam voznika kot tudi naravi potovanja. Puristi se tako lahko odločijo za običajen pogon na zadnja kolesa, pri čemer v celoti izključijo sistem štirikolesnega pogona.

Nov pogonski sistem torej zagotavlja dinamiko krmiljenja, ki je na samem vrhu tega razreda vozil, skupaj z neomejeno vsakodnevno uporabnostjo. To omogoča osrednja inteligentna enota s programsko opremo, značilno za M vozila, ki zagotavlja celovit nadzor nad vzdolžno in prečno dinamiko. Rezultat je izboljšana zmogljivost v vsaki izmed različnih nastavitev. S sistemom M xDrive so inženirji uspeli združiti izvrstne lastnosti običajnega pogona na zadnja kolesa s prednostmi k športni vožnji osredotočenega pogona BMW xDrive.

Vse to prispeva k občutku dinamičnega pridiha, ki bo presenetil tudi izkušene voznike DTM: „Sem velik oboževalec vozila M5,“ pojasnjuje DTM voznik Timo Glock. „Pogosto vozim na dolge razdalje in potrebujem veliko prostora za svojo družino, vendar pa se ne bi želel odreči možnosti raziskovanja športnega značaja avtomobila. M xDrive pa ne omogoča zgolj krmiljenja novega vozila BMW M5 z običajno natančnostjo in agilnostjo, temveč mi omogoča tudi nekaj, kar resnično nadvse cenim zaradi tega, ker živim v Švici: opazno povečanje trakcije in vodljivosti – tudi pri vožnji v posebnih vremenskih razmerah, kot sta dež in sneg, v vsakodnevnih voznih razmerah in tudi takrat, ko želim avtomobil popeljati do njegovih skrajnih meja zmogljivosti.“

Športnost in gladkost delovanja: osemstopenjski menjalnik M Steptronic s sistemom Drivelogic.

V novem vozilu BMW M5 je naloga posredovanja moči motorja zaupana izredno gladko delujočemu osemstopenjskemu menjalniku M Steptronic s sistemom Drivelogic. Zahvaljujoč njegovim izredno kratkim časom prestavljanja in optimalnim prestavnim razmerjem, ta menjalnik, skupaj z novim sistemom M xDrive in dodatno izboljšanim 8-valjnim motorjem, omogoča popolnoma usklajeno delovanje celote.

Obenem menjalnik zagotavlja izjemno gladko speljevanje, olajša manevriranje in ima široko prestavno razmerje, s čimer pomaga pri ohranjanju nizke porabe goriva. Voznik ima običajno izbiro treh programov prestavljanja, pa tudi možnost za ročno prestavljanje s prestavnima vzvodoma na volanu in celo izvajanje športnega prestavljanja za več prestav navzdol. Osemstopenjski menjalnik M Steptronic je del novega, natančno usklajenega celotnega paketa, ki spremeni vozilo BMW M5 v limuzino z visoko zmogljivostjo, ki ponuja pristno vsakodnevno uporabnost ter obenem odpravlja tudi navidezno protislovje med športnostjo in udobjem.

Bolj močen in bolj učinkovit: nov, izboljšan 8-valjni motor s turbopolnjenjem.

Pod pokrovom novega vozila BMW M5 se skriva najnovejša različica 4,4-litrskega 8-valjnega motorja s tehnologijo M TwinPower Turbo. Dodatno izboljšan motor z visoko vrtilno frekvenco prekaša svojega predhodnika glede izhodne moči in navora. Izboljšave, ki so jih izvedli inženirji, vključujejo višji tlak vbrizgavanja goriva, nove turbopolnilnike, močnejše sisteme za mazanje in hlajenje ter spremenjen in lažji izpušni sistem, ki ustvarja še bolj jasen razvoj nezamenljivega M zvoka. Tako opremljen osemvaljnik poganja limuzino še do večjih dinamičnih zmogljivosti. Vendar pa je kombinacija motorja, M xDrive in osemstopenjskega menjalnika M Steptronic, celo bolj kot nadgradnja tehničnih specifikacij motorja, tista, ki dejansko izostri značaj visoke zmogljivosti novega vozila BMW M5. Dinamično doživetje vožnje dvigne na veliko višjo raven, kot bi jo omogočilo zgolj razmeroma zmerno povečanje pri moči.

Strojna in programska oprema z nastavitvijo, značilno za M vozila.

Glavne komponente strojne opreme M xDrive temeljijo na tistih, ki jih obsegata inteligentni sistem štirikolesnega pogona BMW xDrive in aktivni M diferencial, medtem ko programska oprema nadzora nad vozno dinamiko, ki je značilna za M vozila, zagotavlja inovativen razvoj. Pogonski sistem je okrepljen za večjo togost in moč, da lahko prenese visok navor, konfiguracijo s poudarkom na zadnjih kolesih in opcijo 2WD. Medtem ko razdelilno gonilo razdeli del pogona motorja med sprednja in zadnja kolesa v gladko nastavljivem razmerju (odvisno od potreb), aktivni M diferencial nato poskrbi za razporeditev pogona med zadnja kolesa. Ta element aktivnega nadzora je del funkcionalnosti sistema M xDrive, njegov učinek zaklepa pa se lahko giblje med nič in 100 odstotki, odvisno od tega, kaj zahtevajo razmere. To zagotavlja izboljšano trakcijo, agilnost in vozno stabilnost, ko se avtomobil vozi na zelo športen način ali na cestah z različnimi stopnjami oprijema – torej natanko takrat, ko je to potrebno. Ker M xDrive vključuje zmogljivost dinamičnega nadzora, ki je značilna za M vozila, so stabilizacijski ukrepi iz sistema DSC potrebni zgolj v izjemnih primerih. In zaradi tega se lahko izjemna moč motorja pretvori v pogonsko silo s skoraj ničnimi izgubami. Zaključek vsega tega je, da se novo vozilo BMW M5 lahko vodi s še večjo smerno natančnostjo, ter da se odziva občutljivo in neposredno v skladu z ukazi voznika, zaradi česar je med vožnjo na skrajni meji zmogljivosti vozila potrebnih le nekaj posegov pri krmiljenju.

Dinamika krmiljenja à la carte: 4WD, 4WD Sport ali 2WD.

Vsakič, ko se zažene motor, se v vozilu BMW M5 privzeto nastavi način vožnje 4WD z vključenim DSC. Tudi v tej osnovni konfiguraciji, ki na začetku omogoča določeno količino zdrsa na zadnjih kolesih za proizvodnjo agilnosti, po kateri so M modeli vozil znani, M xDrive ponuja oprijemljive prednosti v situacijah, kot je pospeševanje iz ovinkov. Limuzina pospeši od 0 do 100 km/h ali 200 km/h v tako kratkih časih, da pusti svojega predhodnika znatno za seboj in popolnoma navduši ljubitelje športne vožnje po vsem svetu.

Vozniki s še večjo željo po športni akciji lahko uživajo v raziskovanju celotnega potenciala zmogljivosti tega avtomobila z vklopom druge nastavitve: M Dynamic Mode (MDM) z načinom vožnje 4WD Sport sistema M xDrive je nastavljen za nadvse športno in dinamično krmiljenje. Rezultat tega je, da novo vozilo BMW M5 postane veliko bolj agilno kot pri običajni nastavitvi in zadnjim kolesom zagotovi še več pogona. Obenem MDM dopušča veliko večjo količino zdrsa koles, s čimer omogoča strastnemu vozniku, da požene limuzino v nadzorovano drsenje in v celoti doživi izjemno agilnost novega vozila BMW M5 – znano lastnost M modelov vozil. Nastop prekrmiljenja se pravočasno najavi, medtem ko linearno povečanje kota bočnega drsenja omogoča enostavno nadzorovanje, zlasti ker MDM pomaga pri stabilnosti na skrajnih mejah zmogljivosti vozila.

Z izključenim DSC so na izbiro trije načini vožnje (4WD, 4WD Sport in 2WD). V načinu 4WD ima M xDrive nevtralno nastavitev, ki omogoča optimalno vodljivost in izjemno trakcijo. To je še posebej koristno na cestah, ki so v povprečnem ali slabem stanju. Obenem način vožnje 4WD omogoča vozniku tudi raziskovanje zmožnosti dinamične zmogljivosti novega vozila BMW M5 pri izključenem sistemu nadzora DSC.

Vklop načina vožnje 4WD Sport spremeni nastavitev M xDrive v še večjo agilnost in športnost. Mešanica izjemne natančnosti, navdušujočega krmiljenja in izvrstne trakcije, ki jo omogoča, je prepričljiva pot do največjega užitka v vožnji. Nastavitev v načinu vožnje 4WD Sport je bila natančno uglašena s pomočjo izkušenih strokovnjakov in je usmerjena v uporabo ceste v suhih razmerah.

Z vključenim načinom vožnje 2WD ponuja novo vozilo BMW M5 strastnemu vozniku izkušnjo vožnje limuzine z visoko zmogljivostjo in s pogonom zgolj na zadnja kolesa, s čimer zagotavlja čisti užitek v vožnji, ki očara na svoj edinstveni način. Kombinacijo izredno agilnega krmiljenja, izvrstnega občutka in izjemne vodljivosti lahko pripišemo aktivnemu M diferencialu.

Koncept prikaza in nadzora.

Vozniku osredotočena potniška kabina ima še čistejšo razporeditev zahvaljujoč spuščeni instrumentalni plošči in samostoječemu prikazovalniku. Instrumentna plošča v slogu M vozil vključuje dva klasična osrednja merilnika in rdeče kazalce ter vključuje tudi dodatni digitalni merilnik hitrosti na levi strani, medtem ko merilnik vrtljajev na desni strani vključuje spremenljivo polje opozorilnika za število vrtljajev in luči za športno prestavljanje, z izbiro Head-Up projektorja. Na sredini armaturne plošče bo voznik našel prikaze za izbiro prestave, program prestavljanja Drivelogic, način vožnje M xDrive in nastavitev M1/M2 ter trenutno vključene nastavitve pogona in podvozja. Ko je Head-Up projektor vključen, se lahko na vetrobransko steklo projicirajo ključni podatki, ki jih ima voznik tako vedno v svojem neposrednem vidnem polju. Grafika M možnosti pogleda, ki je bila razvita za dinamično vožnjo, je bila popolnoma prenovljena in M pogled zdaj omogoča tudi prikaz navigacijskih podatkov. Območje projiciranja Head-Up projektorja se je v novem vozilu BMW M5 povečalo v velikosti za približno 70 odstotkov.

Na vrhu preoblikovane prestavne ročice je mogoče najti klecno stikalo s tremi položaji za izbiro programov prestavljanja Drivelogic. Gumb P pod njo za parkirno zavoro je prav tako na dosegu roke. V značilnem M načinu se lahko prestave novega osemstopenjskega menjalnika M Steptronic prestavljajo tako z uporabo prestavne ročice kot s pomočjo prestavnih stikal na volanu, vozniki pa se lahko odločijo tudi za avtomatiziran način D. V ročnem načinu S pa M Steptronic omogoča prestavljanje za več prestav navzdol, kar omogoča znatno zmanjšanje časov prestavljanja pri izvajanju športnih voznih manevrov, kot je močno zaviranje v ovinkih.

Tako kot pri predhodnem modelu vozila vključuje M športni volan dva individualno nastavljiva gumba M Drive (M1, M2), ki omogočata vozniku, da izbere predhodno shranjene nastavitve. Gumba sta popolnoma prenovljena in sta nameščena na vidnem mestu. To zagotavlja, da sta še lažje dosegljiva in, kot je značilno za M slog, omogočata odlično hitrost uporabe. Shranijo se lahko tudi način vožnje M xDrive in program prestavljanja Drivelogic, nastavitve delovanja motorja in blažilnikov, krmilne lastnosti sistema Servotronic ter prikazi v Head-Up projektorju. Želene nastavitve se lahko shranijo v meniju iDrive. Ikona na instrumentni plošči pa vozniku prikazuje, ali je vključena shranjena nastavitev M1/​​M2.

Kratek pritisk na tipko DSC na sredinski konzoli vključi M Dynamic Mode (MDM), dolg pritisk pa DSC izključi. Ko je način DSC izključen, se istočasno na nadzornem prikazovalniku prikaže meni z nastavitvami M xDrive. Zraven tega je zdaj mogoče izbrati način vožnje 4WD, 4WD Sport ali 2WD, in sicer z uporabo upravljalnika iDrive ali pa s funkcijo zaslona na dotik. Vključen način vožnje se prikaže na instrumentni plošči in se lahko shrani kot del nastavitev M Drive.

München. Oddelek BMW M je predstavil ekskluzivno, posebno izdajo najuspešnejše visoko zmogljive poslovne limuzine na svetu in s tem postavil še en mejnik znotraj aktualne ponudbe modelov BMW M5. S povečanjem največje moči na 441 kW/600 KM in največjim navorom 700 Nm spada BMW M5 “Competition Edition” med najmočnejše avtomobile v zgodovini modelov blagovne znamke BMW (kombinirana poraba goriva: 9,9 l/100 km; kombinirane emisije CO2: 231 g/km)*. BMW M5 “Competition Edition”, ki je, v osnovni opremi, na voljo z M menjalnikom z dvojno sklopko in sistemom Drivelogic, pospeši od 0 do 100 km/h v le 3,9 sekunde. Značilen individualiziran videz, osnovno razpoložljiv paket Competition in široka ponudba dodatne opreme naredijo BMW M5 “Competition Edition”, katerega proizvodnja je omejena na 200 vozil po vsem svetu, avtomobil izjemno visoke vrednosti.

Več moči in še bolj izpopolnjenje vozne lastnosti.
Znan 4,4-litrski motor V8 z visoko vrtilno frekvenco, ki vključuje pionirsko tehnologijo BMW M TwinPower Turbo, predstavlja močno srce BMW M5 “Competition Edition”. Povečanje polnilnega tlaka in ciljne spremembe pri krmiljenju motorja zvišajo zmogljivost avtomobila v primerjavi s proizvodnim modelom za 29 kW/40 KM, na 441 kW/600 KM. Istočasno se je za 20 Nm povečal tudi največji navor, ki sedaj znaša 700 Nm.

Povečanje moči je odlično usklajeno s paketom Competition, ki je za BMW M5 “Competition Edition” na voljo v osnovni konfiguraciji opreme, kar še izpopolni že tako izvrstno obnašanje vozila med vožnjo. Paket Competition med drugim obsega spuščeno lego podvozja za 10 mm in trše nastavitve vzmeti, blažilnikov in stabilizatorjev. V kombinaciji s spremenjeno nastavitvijo zagotavlja posebna nastavitev aktivnega M diferenciala, ki je v vseh modelih BMW M5 na voljo v osnovni opremi, še bolj izpopolnjeno trakcijo. Poleg tega je krmilni mehanizem z M značilno funkcijo Servotronic na voljo z bolj neposrednim diagramom, kar omogoča vozniku bolj precizno odzivanje in še bolj poudari agilnost vozila pri vožnji skozi ovinke. M Dynamic Mode dinamičnega nadzora stabilnosti (DSC) je prilagojen športnim voznim lastnostim. Rezultat: BMW M5 “Competition Edition” jamči značilno M vozno dinamiko na najvišji ravni v vsakodnevnem prometu in na dirkališču, zlasti, če je opremljen z dodatnim M karbonsko-keramičnim zavornim sistemom.

Ekskluzivno športen in dinamičen videz.
BMW M5 “Competition Edition” sporoča svoj izjemen potencial tudi takrat, ko miruje. Ekskluzivno lakirani karoseriji – 100 vozil v kovinski barvi Carbon Black in 100 v kovinski barvi Mineral White – močno poudarita športne in elegantne poteze BMW M5. 20" kovana in polirana lita alu. platišča Double-spoke M v barvi Jet Black in s kombiniranimi pnevmatikami (265/35 ZR20 spredaj in 295/30 ZR20 zadaj) poudarijo njegovo izjemno lego na cesti. Deli M Performance iz karbona, kot so zadnji difuzor, zadnji spojler na pokrovu prtljažnika in ohišji zunanjih ogledal, določajo dinamične poudarke. Črni rešetki hladilnika v obliki dvojne ledvičke visok sijaj in bočni odprtini v obliki škrg nosijo napis ”M5 Competition”, kar daje vozilu dodatno premijsko noto.

Zelo kakovosten ambient s športnimi poudarki v notranjosti.
Tudi notranjost poudarja edinstvenost BMW M5 “Competition Edition”. Na primer, notranje okrasne obloge nosijo logotip “M5 Competition 1/200”, kar kaže na visoko zmogljivost modela in dejstvo, da je BMW M5 “Competition Edition” le eden izmed 200 narejenih avtomobilov po vsem svetu. Prefinjen ambient v notranjosti je močno zaznamovan z oblazinjenem v črnem usnju Merino s kontrastnim šivom v barvi Opal White ter preprogami v antracitni barvi z robom v usnju Merino v barvi Opal White. V BMW M5 “Competition Edition” sedita voznik in sovoznik na M večfunkcijskih sedežih, kjer jima možnosti električne nastavitve zagotavljajo odlično ravnotežje med udobjem in športno bočno oporo.

BMW regularly presents limited special series of particularly dynamic vehicles so as to sharpen the brand core: Sheer Driving Pleasure. Meanwhile a look ahead to future developments is provided by eye-catching concept cars that reflect the essence of the brand's pure DNA. The public response to both is reflected in the result of this year's readers' vote organised by the magazine "Auto Bild Sportscars". In two rating categories, readers voted BMW Group models "2015 Sports Car of the Year": the "Serial Production Coupés" class was won by new BMW M4 GTS, while in the "Concept Cars" category, the BMW 3.0 CSL Homage was able to attract the majority of votes.

BMW M4 GTS continues its winning streak.
By winning the "Serial Production Coupés" category, the BMW M4 GTS has built on the success of the BMW M4 Coupé and the BMW 435i Coupé, which were voted Sports Car of the Year in 2014 and 2013 respectively. The BMW M4 GTS underpins its sports car status with a lap time of 7:28 minutes on the legendary Nürburgring-Nordschleife. This performance is enabled by a three-way coilover suspension specially harmonised for the BMW M4 GTS, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres in the sizes 265/35 R19 at front and 285/30 R20 at rear, intelligent lightweight construction with the use of aluminium, carbon fibre, composite materials and high-strength steels and a high-performance in-line 6-cylinder petrol engine with M TwinPower Turbo Technology. Due to the innovative water injection - used for the first time in a serial production vehicle - the engine delivers an output of 368 kW/500 hp and a torque of 600 Nm from a capacity of 3.0 litres (combined fuel consumption: 8.5 l/100 km; CO2‑emissions combined: 199 g/km)*. This enables the BMW M4 GTS to accelerate in 3.8 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h, reaching a top speed of 305 km/h (cut off).

BMW 3.0 CSL Homage wins the "Concept Cars" category.
The victory of the BMW 3.0 CSL Homage was a premiere: it attracted the most votes in the "Concept Cars" category which was offered for the first time - and it won by a very clear margin. This concept study was presented at this year's Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este as the BMW design team's tribute to the legendary BMW 3.0 CSL - the timeless, classic BMW coupé icon of the 1970s.

The BMW 3.0 CSL Homage translates the character of the original into the contemporary age, reinterpreting it in a new and exciting way. Cutting-edge materials were used to build this concept car, including carbon fibre (CFRP). The high-tech material is used extensively in the BMW 3.0 CSL Homage, moving the philosophy of lightweight construction forward to the current state of the art. As in the 1970s original, the lines of the BMW 3.0 CSL Homage express pure dynamic performance: striking air deflectors, powerful wheel arches and a prominent roof and rear spoiler frame an elongated body. The front air deflector serves to ventilate the engine compartment while the wings above the rear wheels ensure optimum air flow around the vehicle. Small camera rear mirrors further reduce aerodynamic drag. The large rear spoiler increases surface pressure on the powered rear axle, thereby improving power transmission. An Air Curtain and Air Breather guarantee optimum wheel arch ventilation and air extraction. The 21-inch light alloy wheels in matt and high-gloss Bi-Color finish add a particularly striking touch. Air deflection blades in the wheel rim gaps additionally optimise aerodynamics.

Further top placements for BMW models.
In addition to the category winners, there were other BMW models that gained podium positions. In the category "Serial Production Sedans", the BMW M5 "30 Years of the M5" finished second, as did the BMW X6 M in the category "Serial Production SUVs". The BMW M135i came third in the category "Serial Production Compact Cars".

The "Auto Bild Sports Cars of the Year" readers' vote was held this year for the 14th time. The title "Sports Car of the Year" is among the most important awards for sports-style vehicles in the automobile sector in Germany, and it is highly coveted among all vehicle manufacturers. There were 142 models to choose from for the readers' vote in 2015. Drawn from test and road reports of the last 12 months, the vehicles were classified in 18 categories – eight for serial production vehicles, eight for tuning vehicles and one category each for small-series vehicles and concept cars respectively. The awards were presented today at the Essen Motor Show Race Night.

München. Da bi obeležil 30. obletnico BMW M5 – začetnika razreda visokozmogljive limuzine – je BMW razvil ekskluzivno, posebno izvedbo različice aktualne, pete generacije modela, ki se ponaša z edinstveno zmogljivostjo. Model BMW M5 »30 Jahre M5« (30 let M5) vstopa na svetovni trg v omejeni seriji 300 vozil. Novi model posebne edicije s 441 kW/600 KM in največjim navorom 700 Nm (kombinirana poraba goriva: 9,9 l/100 km; emisije CO2: 231 g/km) ni le najzmogljivejši serijsko proizveden BMW M5 pod okriljem podjetja BMW M GmbH doslej, ampak tudi najmočnejši avtomobil v zgodovini blagovne znamke. Model »30 Jahre M5« se požene od 0-100 km/h v bliskovitem času 3,9 sekunde. Z izjemno ekskluzivnim videzom, ki črpa navdih iz sklopa BMW Individual, in številnimi elementi opreme za povečanje dinamike in udobja je ta posebna izdaja na vrhu seznama želja priseženih zbirateljev.

München. Inteligenten poudarek določenih oblikovnih elementov povečuje užitek v vrhunskem doživetju v vožnji z visokozmogljivo limuzino BMW M5. Sočasno z lansiranjem novega BMW serije 5 Limuzina tudi najuspešnejša modela BMW M GMbH – novi BMW serije 5 Touring in novi BMW serije 5 Gran Turismo – prinašata tehtno zasnovane novosti. Odlična ubranost oblike poudarja značilno M športnost  in izzivajočo navzočnost novega BMW M5, medtem ko v sklopu dodatne opreme paket Competition, novi elementi opreme in dodatno razširjen sklop funkcij BMW ConnectedDrive poudarjajo inovativni značaj avtomobila.

BMW M5 poganja 4,4-litrski motor V8 s tehnologijo M TwinPower Turbo in največjo močjo 412 kW/560 KM. Skupaj s 7-stopenjskim M menjalnikom z dvojno sklopko, aktivnim M diferencialom na zadnji premi in modelu specifično tehnologijo podvozja, ki je natančno uglašena za stopnje zmogljivosti na osnovi izkušenj in znanja iz dirkalnih stez, ta visokozmogljiva pogonska enota zagotavlja izjemno dinamično vozno zmogljivost. Za dodatno povečanje zmogljivosti je v sklopu dodatne opreme sedaj na voljo paket Competition z elementi, ki vstopajo v novo dimenzijo dinamike v značilnem stilu BMW M.

Paket Competition je bil posebej razvit za povečanje karakteristik upravljanja BMW M5. S paketom Competition je moč visokozmogljivega motorja V8 s tehnologijo M TwinPower Turbo povečana za 11 kW na 423 kW/575 KM. Prav tako so v sklopu dodatne opreme od marca 2013 na voljo novo zasnovane M karbonsko-keramične zavore.

Videz BMW M5 posebno naglašajo inovativne M »ledvičke«, ki sedaj nosijo oznako modela in s svojimi letvami posnemajo obliko Double Spoke M lahkih aluminijastih platišč. Poleg osnovnih ksenonskih žarometov je v sklopu dodatne opreme mogoče izbrati prilagodljive LED žaromete, ki s svojim parom LED enot, nameščenim horizontalno na sredo posameznega svetlobnega obroča, oddajajo posebno svetlo belo svetlobo. BMW M5 je osnovno opremljen z novo oblikovanimi zadnjimi lučmi z izjemno vitkimi LED linijami, ki ustvarjajo visok kontrast in prispevajo k prepoznavnem videzu ponoči.

Značilen M občutek odraža tudi M usnjen volan, ki z novo obliko prav tako povzema vizualno temo oblike platišč Double Spoke. Notranjost limuzine je tudi pridobila na prostornosti shranjevalnega predala pod naslonom za roke na sredinski konzoli. Nadzorni prikazovalnik osnovno vgrajenega operacijskega sistema iDrive sedaj ob straneh krasi kromiran element. Prvič je krmilnik v sklopu dodatne opreme na voljo s površino odzivno na dotik, ki na primer omogoča vnos znakov pri programiranju cilja poti za navigacijski sistem.

BMW Individual bo od julija ponudil sklop novih barvnih zaključkov zunanjosti za BMW M5 (Pure Metal Silver, kovinsko Pyrite Brown, kovinsko Frozen Blue in dodatne barvne mat zaključke BMW Individual), kot tudi ekskluzivne odtenke usnja (Cashmere Beige in Nutmeg). Na primer z barvnim odtenkom Pure Metal Silver iz sklopa BMW Individual prevzame karoserija globok, briljanten sij. Ta edinstven kovinski lesk je posledica kombinacije posebnega pigmenta z barvnim sistemom na vodni osnovi. Nanos izjemno drobnih aluminijastih delcev zagotavlja enotno in svetlečo površino. Odvisno od zornega kota ti delci ustvarjajo svetlo-temen kontrast in poudarjajo površine karoserije. Tovrsten barvni ton še bolj naglaša linije in konture modela ter navdaja obliko vozila z izjemno avro.

Dodatno razširjen sklop elementov iz BMW ConnectedDrive prav tako zagotavlja novemu BMW M5 prvo mesto na področju inteligentne povezanosti v svojem razredu. Inovativni sistemi za pomoč vozniku in mobilne storitve optimizirajo varnost in udobje med vožnjo, obenem pa izpopolnjujejo uporabo programov infozabave. Novi sistem Driving Assistant združuje sistem za opozarjanje na zapustitev voznega pasu z opozorilnikom pred naletom, vključno s funkcijo zaviranja. Sistem s kamero, nameščeno na področje vetrobranskega stekla, zaznava vozila in osebe ter zvočno in vizualno opozori voznika v primeru potencialnega trka. V kritičnih situacijah se vklopi sistem krmiljenega zaviranja. Pomočnik za dolge luči, ki preklaplja med kratkim in dolgim snopom žarometov, je sedaj v sklopu dodatne opreme prav tako na voljo za BMW M5, medtem ko se lahko sistem za opozarjanje na nenamerno menjavo voznega pasu sedaj uporablja že pri 20 km/h.

Nova možnost Online Entertainment pa poskrbi za posebno pester avdio program. Omogoča namreč spletni dostop do glasbene zbirke, ki šteje okoli 12 milijonov skladb. V povezavi z navigacijskim sistemom Professional in možnostjo ConnectedDrive Services pa so na voljo dodatne funkcije, med drugim Concierge Services, Remote Services in Real Time Traffic Information (ni na voljo v vseh državah).
