The M5 will remain and has been without a doubt the segment leader when it comes to sport sedans. Now this latest M5 intends to keep that crown with a new engine and drive dynamics enginered to provide an even more rewarding driving experiance. This 5th generation BMW M5 is powered by a new high-revving 4.4 litre V8 engine with BMW M TwinPower Turbo technology including two TwinScroll turbochargers, a single exhaust manifold serving each cylinder bank, BMW’s High Precision Injection direct injection system, VALVETRONIC infinitely variable inlet valve lift control and Double-Vanos variable camshaft control.
Superior revving ability, incredible pulling power, an agressively precise engine sound and remarkable efficiency are the hallmarks of the new engine – the most powerful engine available from the BMW M GmbH range with a whopping output of 560bhp, a 10 per cent improvement over the previous edition’s hefty V10 engine. Maximum torque has also been raised by 30 per cent giving the new BMW M5 a staggering 680Nm’s of torque which allows the car to hit the 0-100 km/h mark in 4.3 seconds.
