For more than 25 years the BMW M5 Saloon has defined the high-performance saloon segment, in the process becoming the most successful car of its type in the world. The heart of any BMW M car is its engine, and never more so than with the new BMW M5.
Developing 560hp from 5,750-7,000rpm, it is the most potent series-production engine ever to emerge from BMW's. high-performance M division. BMW's. patented cross-bank exhaust manifold optimises gas flow to the twin-scroll turbochargers, which have been specially developed for the BMW M5 Saloon to deliver a maximum charge pressure of 15. bar.
In any BMW, performance goes hand-in-hand with efficiency, and the new BMW M5 Saloon is no exception.
The driving dynamics of the new M5 Saloon are grouped under an umbrella which BMW calls Hallmark M. They include a further advancement of the specially developed differential that allows M drivers to enjoy the benefits of high-powered rear-wheel-drive cars with maximum safety.
The DSC system is linked to the anti-lock brakes (ABS), Cornering Brake Control (CBC), Dynamic Brake Control (DBC), Brake Assistant, Brake Fade Compensation, Brake Drying function and Start-off Assistant. The new BMW M5 comes as standard with electronically controlled dampers that allow drivers to select from three settings - Comfort for normal road use, Sport once a more dynamic driving style is preferred and Sport Plus for the most extreme driving, such as on a race track.
Standard bi-xenon front light clusters contain visually unequaled LED light rings and indicator lights which consist of 10 LED units. LED accent lights cut astride the top of the familiar BMW twin round headlamps.
Flared wheel arches, flush 19- or 20-inch wheels and lowered M suspension ensure the car's. sporting characteristics do not go unmistaken.
The interior of the BMW M5 fuses the intimacy of a sports-car cockpit, the spaciousness of a prestige saloon and the luxury of a premium car. It features bespoke M Sports seats, Merino leather upholstery, Aluminium Trace interior trim strips and the BMW Individual roof liner in Anthracite, plus the BMW iDrive control system with a 102-inch.
Control Display. The new BMW M5 offers an extensive range of standard and optional innovative driver assistance systems and mobility services in a sports car-like cockpit that meets every requirement of a premium high-performance saloon.
Monday’s suck. Just in case you need a reminder, the 2012 BMW M5 drops last year’s V-10, in favor of a twin-turbo, 44-liter. V-8. Power is up from 500 to 560 horsepower, and torque gets a boost from 380 to 502 lb-ft,. with peak torque available from just 1,500 rpm.
