BMW M5
The BMW M5 is powering into a new era. With 40 years of history having passed under its wheels, the legendary high-performance sedan has reached its seventh model generation. And 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 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.
The new edition of the high-performance sedan sees BMW M GmbH taking another committed step in its transformation to locally emissionfree mobility. The combination of combustion engine and electric motor in the new BMW M5 adheres to the same principle as the drive system in the BMW M Hybrid V8 endurance racing machine. The intelligently controlled interplay of the engine and motor, and power transfer and chassis technology tuned perfectly to the resultant performance characteristics, provide the latest example of progress achieved with established racing-car expertise.
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.

BMW M5 (2025)
The combustion engine in the new BMW M5 blends its classically highrevving nature with emphatic power delivery sustained across a wide engine speed range.

At least they gave it a v8 but still what a disaster.
The whole car is designed around emissions targets which can only be achieved when the vehicle is in eco-hybrid mode under very gentle driving conditions. No one is going to be driving an M5 in eco-hybrid mode. That V8 is going to be singing and drinking juice just like the old one and maybe even more so as it now is 500KG heavier. Similar to how the c63s hybrid still gulps fuel.
So now we have a more complex (read less reliable), heavier, still thirsty, more rubber, more lithium car that handles worse and is slower than the last one.
Nice job.
