BMW – 2025 BMW M5: See it on our 2024 Concept Lawn
August 18, 2024
Making its North American Premiere at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, the 2025 BMW M5 is the seventh generation of a lineage of practical, comfortable 4-door sedans infused with supercar-level power and performance from BMW Motorsports experience.
For the very first time in its storied history, the BMW M5 is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), using an M Hybrid drivetrain closely related to the one that powers the BMW M Hybrid V8 GTP racing car currently competing in the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship.
The 4.4-liter M TwinPower Turbo V8 is supplemented by an electricmotor fitted between the engine and the 8-speed M Steptronic gearbox. The result is the most powerful M5 ever built, with 717 horsepower and 738 lb-ft (1,000 nm) of torque. With the traction provided by the M xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system, the 2025 M5 bolts from zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, on to a top speed of 190 mph when the optional M Driver’s Package is specified. Furthermore, the new M5 can deliver an estimated 25 miles of purely electric, zero emissions driving at up to 86 mph. And in keeping with the M5’s mission to provide all-day comfort with track readiness, the optional BMW M Drive Professional allows the driver to select from two additional hybrid powertrain strategies specifically developed to maintain combined operation between the combustion and electric drive systems for consistent performance in a track environment.
Production of the all-new 2025 BMW M5 has just begun at BMW Plant Dingolfing, with US deliveries planned to commence in the fourth quarter of 2024.
