The 5th generation BMW M5, the most successful high-performance saloon in the premium segment of the executive class has been let out of its cage. The high-performance and dynamic 4-door sports car has received a number of improvements but none as much as the improvement in fuel economy. Under the hood the new BMW M5 comes with a newly developed high-performance 4.4 litre V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo package. The turbo package consists of Twin Scroll Twin Turbo technology, cross-bank exhaust manifold, high precision direct injection and Valvetronic full variable valve control. All of this results in 412 kW (560 hp) output at 6 000 to 7 000 rpm and a maximum torque of 680 Newton metres from 1 500 rpm of lag-free power. Which allows the BMW M5 to complete 0-100km/h in just 4.4 seconds and 0-200km/h in 13 seconds, with a top speed of 250km/h (305 km/h with the M Drivers package). The M5’s fuel economy has received the most love though, with the average fuel consumption clocking in at 9.9 litres / 100km, which is close to a 30% improvement over the previous model. Improvements have been made to the Efficient Dynamics technology, as well as including Auto Start-Stop function as well as Brake Energy Regeneration. To top off the package, the new BMW M5 comes with a number of driver assistance systems, including: BMW ConnectedDrive, M-specific HUD (as standard), BMW Night Vision (with pedestrian recognition), Lane changing and lane departure warning system as well as internet connectivity. Look for more information and details on a local release date as they become available. |
