Developed by BMW M GmbH, the new BMW M5 is a luxurious four-door business sedan with a taste for the race track. First seen in 1984 with the original BMW M5, the all new M5 has been redesigned and engineered into a vehicle that will get fans very excited.
Powered by a 4.4-litre V8 bi-turbo engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology, which delivers 441 kW at 5,600 – 6,700 rpm, while a monumental 750 Nm of torque is placed at the driver’s disposal from as low down as 1,800 rpm and remains there until 5,600 rpm. The car’s impressive performance figures speak for themselves: 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds, 0 to 200 km/h in 11.1 seconds. Top speed, meanwhile, is an electronically limited 250 km/h, but the optional M Driver’s Package can keep the fun coming to 305 km/h.
The new BMW M5 can be ordered from September 2017, priced at €117,900, and deliveries will begin in spring 2018. In South Africa, the new BMW M5 will be available in the first quarter of 2018. Local pricing and specifications will be available before the end of 2017.
