It began with the idea to build an extraordinary sports car. At the end of the 70's, the legendary BMW M1 was developed, a powerful, 277 hp vehicle with 4-valve technology in a 3.5 liter straight six engine. In the 80's, BMW turned this high-performance automobile concept into a production vehicle for the first time - the M5 was born. Maturing over the years, it now has a mighty 400 horsepower delivered from the newly developed 8-cylinder engine. So now the new generation of the M5 sedan goes to the starting line, offering a new dimension of power and performance. |
Yes, at BMW M GmbH we are great
believers of the understatement, but we don't hesitate to call a spade a
spade, either. M Power: The sound of substance. The powerful M motor is
the epitome of an engine. V-8 cylinders, 5 liter displacement, 400 hp
(294 kW) of power and maximum rpm's of 7000/min build up phenomenally
high torque and breathtaking elasticity: In the 4th gear, the M5
accelerates from 80 to 120 km/h in just 4.8 seconds. At 3800/min, the
torque is 500 Nm - the formula for sheer power on the street.
