It’s here! This is the BMW M5 2025, with 727 HP and a huge weight. And it easily exceeds two tons, because although it has a lot of power it also has a large mass to push. We are looking at a new BMW M5, one with a Touring version, as promised.
In addition, this BMW M5 adds electrification for the first time, a set that is transformed to offer high power and great performance. According to initial data, this car exceeds the figure of 2.5 tons with a driver, a real nonsense that we are getting used to.
The new BMW M5 uses the same setup as the BMW XM. We are talking about the combination of the 4.4-liter biturbo V8 block and synchronous electric motor, a system where the combustion engine develops 585 HP and the electric motor 197 HP. The joint work provides a system power of 727 HP and 1,000 Nm of torque. Brutal, right?
The first BMW M5 has nothing to do with this last one, a car that adapts to the times based on technology. And of course, this technology weighs, and weighs a lot, shedding all lightness. And a car of such weight loses the essence of those wonderful M5s.
The new BMW M5 weighs about 500 kg more than its predecessor, a huge amount but not so high if we take into account the addition of systems. The model must comply with regulations, and this forces engineers to use an electric motor.. Not to mention the competition, because at any time its rivals will present their respective high-flying sedans with similar power.
Despite its weight, The new BMW M5 plug-in hybrid does 0-100 km/h in 3.5 seconds. If we compare it, the old M5 Competition needed 3.3 seconds, and the M5 CS only 3 seconds. We are talking about an important difference but, taking into account its weight, it is not bad at all.

If we continue with our foot down, we will reach 200 km/h in 10.9 seconds. If this brand is compared with the M5 CS we will realize that the latter also wins. The new BMW M5 claims an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h. Of course, it can optionally be raised to 305 km/h.
As you can imagine, Power is transmitted to all four wheels through an 8-speed automatic gearbox. It once again has all-wheel drive, and once again has 4WD Sport mode. With this option the all-wheel drive works longer, sending energy to the rear axle.
Likewise, 2WD mode is available. In this case, the car has pure propulsion to be able to skid when the ESP is deactivated and the beast is completely released.
“The BMW M5 enters a new era and represents BMW M GmbH’s expertise in the field of exciting performance and unrestricted everyday usability. as well as long distance driving. With 40 years of history behind it, the legendary high-performance sedan enters its seventh model generation,” commented the BMW brand.
