Signature M Power in a new form.
The electrified drive system powering the BMW M5 adheres to the same principle as the drive system in the BMW M Hybrid V8 endurance racing machine. It enriches the driving experience on board the high-performance sedan with another sprinkling of fresh ingredients. As with the introduction of eight- and ten-cylinder engines, turbocharging and the M xDrive all-wheel-drive system in earlier model generations, so the new plug-in hybrid system represents a new dimension in hallmark M performance. The latest-generation electric motor integrated into the 8-speed M Steptronic transmission brings an immediacy to the power delivery of the BMW M5.
Teaming up with a high-revving V8 petrol engine that develops exceptional power and benefits from a wealth of detail upgrades, the result is unparalleled performance characteristics. The engine has gained extensive updates over the previous version of the unit and stands out with its further improved response, thirst for revs and optimised efficiency. As well as the two twin-scroll turbochargers and High Precision Injection working with maximum pressure of 350 bar, the latest version of M TwinPower Turbo technology also comprises VALVETRONIC fully variable valve timing and Double-VANOS variable camshaft timing. Developing a maximum output of 430 kW (585 hp), the eight-cylinder unit is the largest contributor to the M HYBRID’s system output of 535 kW (727 hp).
The BMW M5 harnesses the instantaneously initiated and relentlessly building power delivery of its engine and electric motor to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds. 0 to 200 km/h takes 10.9 seconds. In addition, the maximum system torque of 1,000 Nm gives the M HYBRID drive system outstanding elasticity
