Peak Output 412kW, CO2 Emissions 232g/km

The powertrain features a newly developed 4.4-liter V8 engine. With twin-scroll turbocharging and a cross-bank exhaust manifold that collects exhaust gases from two cylinders each, directing them into four independent exhaust streams to minimize interference and achieve direct response, it delivers a peak output of 412kW (560hp) at 6,000-7,000rpm and a maximum torque of 680Nm at 1,500-5,750rpm.

Acceleration is brisk, with 0-100km/h covered in 4.4 seconds. These figures represent the highest performance ever achieved by a production vehicle developed by BMW M. Environmental performance is also impressive, with fuel economy of 28.5mpg and CO2 emissions of 232g/km recorded in the EU combined cycle. For comparison, the Porsche Panamera Turbo, equipped with a 4.8-liter V8 engine producing 368kW (500hp),Porsche Panamera Turboachieves 24.6mpg and CO2 emissions of 270g/km.

The transmission is a 7-speed MDCT (M Double Clutch Transmission).

Furthermore, features such as M Servotronic, which variably controls power steering assist based on driving speed, and M Dynamic Mode, which allows for a certain degree of wheel slip before activating stability control at the physical limit, allow drivers to experience the ultimate in driving pleasure.

The exterior design incorporates M's essence into the current 5 Series. The front fascia is particularly striking, with three enlarged air intakes below the kidney grille, creating a design that emphasizes the M5's performance. The headlights feature bi-xenon units that function as daytime running lights. Inside, LED light rings composed of 10 LEDs are fitted, asserting its BMW identity day and night.

The side profile is more muscular than before. The fenders are more pronounced, and a line running from the front fender to the rear enhances its sporty appearance. It rides on 19-inch lightweight M alloy wheels with a double-spoke design.

The interior features M sport seats and steering wheel crafted by artisans, upholstered in Merino leather, with extensive use of aluminum for the trim. A 10.2-inch HDD navigation system, the 'iDrive Navigation System,' is centrally located on the instrument panel.

While pricing and release dates have not yet been announced, the car is scheduled to be unveiled at the M Festival on July 23rd.
