BMW M5 (render)
The latest generation BMW
5-Series, codenamed G30, will serve as the base for a brand-new M5. Imagined here by X-Tomi, the high-performance
executive saloon is expected to adopt a slightly more aggressive styling,
highlighted by the larger front bumper with massive air intakes, extended side
skirts and an updated rear bumper, which will incorporate a diffuser flanked by
twin pipes on either side.
The
range-topping version of the new BMW 5-Series will also be the M5 badges and
the rims filling up the wheel arches, while inside, the car will set itself
apart with the usual trim upgrades, along with sportier front seats with
lateral support.
The new BMW M5 is expected to use a modified 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine,
capable of at least 600 HP, which will be channeled to the rear, and
optionally, for the first time, all four wheels through a seven-speed
dual-clutch transmission.
Given that the new 45 5hp M550 xDrive is already 0.3
seconds faster than the outgoing M5 in the 0-100 km/h run at 4 seconds flat,
the AWD version of the new M5 could drop to the mid-3 second range.
