Upcoming Unmatched BMW M5 2025: The Exceptional Unleash

The new M5 embraces its role as the wildest version yet. With progress comes added weight, necessitating larger brakes and rear-wheel steering.

What’s New

Speculations suggest an impressive power output of 735 horsepower and 735 pound-feet of torque. Departing from convention, the next-gen M5 will employ the assistance of not one, but four electric motors, drawing inspiration from the drivetrain found in the plug-in-hybrid XM Label Red SUV. 

Pricing and Which One to Buy

The price of the 2025 BMW M5 is expected to start around $120,000. M5 $120,000 (est) M5 Competition $140,000 (est)

Engine

The next-generation M5 suggest a transfer of the high-performing 5-series to the PHEV powertrain borrowed from the 735-hp XM Label Red SUV, delivering a substantial 735 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels 

Transmission

 BMW’s 4.4-liter twin-turbo V-8 gas engine seamlessly integrated with the M5’s lithium-ion battery pack. The M5 is anticipated to feature an eight-speed automatic transmission. 

Performance

Notably, the current gas-only M5 achieved a 0-60 mph time of 2.8 seconds with less power and sans the aid of swift-acting electric motors.

Range

Projections suggest an electric-only range of 60 miles, allowing for speeds up to 87 mph until the battery requires recharging. 

Charging

It is anticipated to share key components with the already-revealed XM model, particularly the 25.7-kWh battery employed in BMW’s prominent PHEV SUV 

Battery Life

If the M5 incorporates the same 7.4 kW onboard charger and battery unit as the XM, achieving a full recharge in slightly over three hours becomes a plausible expectation. 

Interior

The upcoming M5 is poised to be the epitome of high-performance and luxury, boasting features such as heated-and-ventilated seats, customizable ambient lighting, and gesture control for the infotainment system. 

Cargo

While the incorporation of additional plug-in hybrid (PHEV) components may potentially impact the M5’s cargo and passenger space, this is unlikely to dissuade enthusiasts eager to explore the realm of 700-horsepower vehicles.
