The all-new BMW M5
The all-new BMW M5 is powering into a
new era. With 40 years of history having passed under its wheels, the legendary
high-performance sedan has reached its seventh model generation. And the
executive model from BMW M GmbH now has an electrified drive system for the
first time. The combination of combustion engine and electric motor in the new
BMW M5 adheres to the same principle as the drive system in the BMW M Hybrid V8
endurance racing machine. The intelligently controlled interplay of the engine
and motor, and power transfer and chassis technology tuned perfectly to the
resultant performance characteristics, provide the latest example of progress
achieved with established racing-car expertise.
The front-end view of the all-new BMW
M5 is shaped by a modern take on the signature BMW twin headlights and BMW
kidney grille. The standard Adaptive LED Headlights bring
a modern, pared-back look to the brand typical four-eyed face. The newly
designed BMW M kidney grille is finished in Black high gloss and almost
entirely enclosed. A single M-typical double-bar bearing an M5 badge runs
across the grille. The puristic design approach here enables a fresh aesthetic,
which is presented to characterful effect by the black surround and BMW
Iconic Glow contour lighting fitted as standard. Pronounced wheel arch
extensions and the sculptural surfaces around the BMW M kidney grille,
headlights and air intakes create a visually striking appearance.
M-specific design features ensure the
all-new BMW M5 is also immediately recognisable as a high-performance sports
car when viewed from the side. It has an elegantly sporty silhouette, injected
with extra dynamism by the model-specific surface treatment. The side frame of
the body, including the front and rear wheel arches, has been completely.
redesigned for the high-performance
model. The embossed M5 logo in the rearmost section of the side window surround
with standard M High-gloss Shadow Line trim brings an extra touch of
individuality. The matt recessing stands out clearly from the surface of the
Hofmeister kink. Standard specification also includes the M Carbon Roof,
which reduces vehicle weight by more than 30 kilograms compared with models
with the panoramic glass sunroof. It lowers the car’s centre of gravity and
gives the silhouette of the all-new BMW M5 an even lower-slung look. The M
Carbon roof is part of the M Carbon exterior package, which also
includes exterior mirror caps and a rear spoiler made from the same
lightweight, high-tech material. Alternatively, customers can specify their BMW
M5 with the panoramic glass sunroof which is designed as a body-mounted module.
It extends in a single section from just behind the windscreen almost as far as
the rear window and floods the interior with light.
Prominently flared wheel arches also
determine the character of the rear end. They accentuate the width and muscular
stature of the all-new BMW M5, an impression reinforced by the vertical
reflectors positioned at the outer edges of the rear. An M rear spoiler and
a two-section diffuser are on hand to optimize airflow around the body. In
addition, the familiar M twin exhaust tailpipes – here in
Black Chrome – are integrated into the rear apron. The M light alloy
wheels measure 20 inches (285/40 ZR20) at the front and 21 inches
(295/35 ZR21) at the back, lending the vehicle an impressive look. The driver’s
braking requests are executed by the standard-fitted M Compound brakes or
optional M Carbon ceramic brakes.
The multi-layered character of the
all-new BMW M5 – spanning track-oriented dynamics, locally emission-free
cruising and the ability to cover long distances with consummate ease – is also
reflected in its interior. A newly designed M leather
steering wheel in three-spoke design with a flat-bottomed rim,
decorative stitching in BMW M GmbH colours and a red centre marker in the
12-o’clock position brings extra intensity to the racing car feeling of the
cockpit. Red M1/M2 buttons are available for quick access to saved custom
vehicle set-ups. With the M Drive Professional option, the left gearshift
paddle is marked “BOOST”. If the customer specifies the optional M Drive Professional,
they can also make use of TRACK mode. Other features of M Drive Professional
include the M Laptimer and the Boost Control function, which enables extremely
rapid bursts of speed when travelling at between 30 and 150 km/h. Pulling on
the left-hand shift paddle for more than one second prompts all the powertrain
and chassis systems to be switched to their sportiest setting. When the driver
then pushes down hard on the accelerator, the car accelerates without delay and
with great force and dynamic flair. The control panel on the centre console of
the new BMW M5 houses a model-specific composition of buttons which can be used
to tailor the driving experience to individual preferences in a variety of
ways. The Setup button provides direct access to the configuration of the drive
system, Drivelogic, chassis, steering, braking system and M xDrive, as well as
the intensity of brake energy recuperation. A newly designed M leather steering
wheel, the standard M multifunction seats and the BMW Curved Display convey a
sense of cutting-edge sporting presence. The M-specific interior
illumination – including ambient lighting and the BMW Interaction Bar
– creates an exclusive atmosphere across all five seats. The control panel on
the centre console houses the red start/stop button, the newly designed gear
selector lever, the BMW Controller, the roller control for the audio and the
M-specific buttons for the setup options. The M multifunction seats with
illuminated M5 logo add a motorsport touch. With their numerous adjustment
options, they adapt perfectly to the body and offer ideal support in fast
corners. The Anthracite headliner adds to the exclusive ambience inside the
car. The standard Bowers & Wilkins Diamond surround sound
system with 18 speakers and 655-watt amplifier treats the
driver and passengers in all seats to a soundscape of beguiling clarity.
The combination of a high-revving V8
engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology and an electric
motor, plus power transfer courtesy of an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission
with Drivelogic and the M xDrive all-wheel-drive system gives drivers a new
experience of the performance with which M models have made their name. A
model-specific version of the M HYBRID system gives the all-new BMW M5 maximum
output of 535 kW (727 hp) and peak system torque of 1,000 Nm. The combustion
engine delivers up to 430 kW (585 hp) and a maximum torque of 750 Nm while, the
electric drive system generates a peak output of 145 kW (197 hp) and a maximum
torque of 280 Nm. The eight-cylinder unit is the largest contributor to the M
HYBRID system and delivers its maximum output from 5,600 to 6,500 rpm and has a
rev limit of 7,200 rpm. A high voltage 18.6 kW lithium-ion battery is situated
in the underbody. It delivers a pure-electric driving range of up to 69 kms
(WLTP).
The operating mode of the M HYBRID
system can also be adjusted as desired. The new M Hybrid button allows the
driver to choose between HYBRID mode – for intelligently controlled interplay
between the combustion engine and electric motor to maximise either efficiency
or performance, depending on the driving situation – and the ELECTRIC setting,
in which the combustion engine is only brought into play by accelerator
kickdown or using the gearshift paddles. eCONTROL mode is used for effective
brake energy recuperation and maintaining battery charge at a constant level.
And the optional M Drive Professional adds DYNAMIC and DYNAMIC PLUS modes to
the mix, which prime the drive system and cooling system to keep output at a
constantly high level or generate short bursts of maximum output during
committed track driving.
The new BMW M5 harnesses the
instantaneously initiated and relentlessly building power delivery of its
engine and electric motor to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds. 0 to
200 km/h takes 10.9 seconds. In addition, the maximum system torque of 1,000 Nm
gives the M HYBRID drive system outstanding elasticity, which is reflected in a
time of 2.9 seconds for the sprint from 80 to 120 km/h in fifth gear. In fourth
gear, this figure drops as low as 2.2 seconds. And that even undercuts the
times recorded by the previous-generation BMW M5 CS special edition by 0.1
seconds in fourth gear and 0.3 seconds in fifth. The top speed of the new BMW
M5 is limited to 250 km/h as standard, but the limiter can be raised to 305
km/h if the optional M Driver’s Package is specified. In
all-electric operating mode, the new BMW M5 can hit speeds of up to 140 km/h.
The fourth generation 8 -
speed M Steptronic transmission delivers smooth gear shifts and top
levels of power delivery and shift comfort as well as impressive efficiency.
Three driving modes can be selected using the M Hybrid button on the centre
console. Hybrid default setting for intelligently controlled interplay of the
combustion engine and electric motor maximises efficiency or performance
depending on the requirement.
The chassis design of the new BMW M5
comprises a double-wishbone front axle and a five-link rear axle with bespoke
kinematics and elastokinematics, plus a host of other specially tuned
components. The electrically assisted rack-and-pinion steering with M
Servotronic and variable steering ratio has a rigid connection to the front
axle subframe to ensure optimal feedback from the road and a high degree of
directional accuracy. In conjunction with the wide tracks and the excellent
torsional rigidity of the body and chassis mountings, this combination produces
the handling attributes for which BMW M models are renowned, shaped by agility,
precision and the linear build-up of lateral forces when the driver is pushing
on. The M xDrive all-wheel-drive system maximises traction,
agility and directional stability. Precisely controlled and fully variable
distribution of power between front and rear axles and between the left and
right rear wheels ensures masterful performance in any situation. The power
generated by the combustion engine and electric motor is channelled to the road
via the all-wheel-drive system, whose rear-biased setup is particularly
pronounced in 4WD Sport mode. However, the driver can also select 2WD mode.
This sends drive exclusively to the rear wheels with the DSC (Dynamic Stability
Control) system switched off, which will appeal to experienced drivers who
prefer a performance experience of the pure-bred variety. Also fitted as
standard is the adaptive M suspension with electronically
controlled dampers and Integral Active Steering, which steers the rear wheels
by up to 1.5 degrees. M-specific tuning, the individually selectable settings
and the ability to adjust the dampers at each wheel individually optimise the
body’s connection to the road and maximise the car’s spread of talents – from
everyday driving comfort to race-ready dynamic prowess.
BMW Operating
System 8.5 in the all-new BMW M5 offers a wider range of digital content for
information and entertainment, faster update cycles for functions, improved
information on charging points for electric vehicles and optimised access to
many specific online services. The display and control system expanded to
include the BMW Head-Up Display in conjunction with the BMW Live
Cockpit Professional. The advanced display and operating system offers a
redesigned entry screen and "QuickSelect” access with an improved menu
structure oriented towards consumer electronics devices. The new entry screen
permanently shows the map view of the navigation system or other displays that
can be individually configured. The cloud-based navigation system BMW Maps now
not only offers an Augmented View display on the Information Display behind the
steering wheel, but also improved functions for even more precise and charging
station optimised navigation.
The spread of Driver
Assistance Systems is more extensive than ever. Parking Assistant Plus
with Surround View Camera makes parking in tight spots easier by taking over
acceleration, braking as well as steering. The Reversing Assistant provides
unmatched support in reversing out of a parking spot or through narrow
driveways. Standard specification includes the Driving Assistant, which
comprises Rear Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning including lane return
with steering assistance. The optional Driving Assistant Professional delivers
an extensive automated driving experience with a combination of Active Cruise
Control with Stop & Go function and Steering and Lane Control Assistant.
