2025 BMW M5 (G90)

These new M Performance parts will make your G90 M5 look even meaner

Much carbon has been infused into the exterior, with new alloys and vinyls thrown on for even more drama

With the release of its all-new, heavier-than-most-planets G90 M5, BMW has followed up with a selection of bolt-on performance parts to add more panto to an already melodramatic look.

The highlights include a massive two-stage rear diffuser, which tucks in above the revised titanium/carbon quad exhaust tips, a thin new rear wing (what even is the point?) and a more aggressive front lip. The latter now also means the low central air intake is given more stage time, and works quite well with the snarly, retro kidney grilles and moody light signatures.

It all looks rather nice, and mates well with the flash yellow body of the example seen, right? Oh, this lot is also made entirely of carbon fibre, if you haven’t noticed already, and helps the whole car sit lower down to the floor.

Other bits and bobs include more carbon on the mirror caps, aerial cover and fuel tank cap, with the redecorated light-alloy wheels perhaps the only new fit that isn’t made of the good stuff. BMW will apply the funky vinyl design seen along the car’s lower flanks if you so wish too. Attractive optional extra, that.

 
New BMW M5 (2025) Price & Specs

Thanks to our friendly dealer network, we can confirm pricing, specifications and timings for the new BMW M5.

The new BMW M5 will be going on sale locally in South Africa in November 2024, with a price tag of R2 690 000.

Powered by a plug-in hybrid V8 twin-turbocharged petrol engine which makes 535 kW and 1 000 Nm, the latest-gen super sedan is claimed to sprint to 100 kph in just 3.5 seconds and run to a top speed of 305 kph. Interestingly, the hybrid mode features a pure electric range of 70 km. The vehicle features an xDrive all-wheel system with rear-wheel steer and an 8-speed automatic gearbox.

From the product bulletin, we can see that BMW South Africa has adopted an all-in approach with very few options. The optional extras include heated seats for front and rear, heated steering, M carbon brakes, sun protection glazing and panoramic glass roof (which we suspect replaces the carbon fibre roof).

How much does the new BMW M5 cost in South Africa?

The new BMW M5 price includes VAT and Motorplan, but excludes CO2 tax.
