BMW M5 are coming our way, promises to be faster and more exciting than ever. BMWBlog reports that the upcoming super sedan will need just 3.5-3.6 seconds to cover the 0 to 100 km/h acceleration, which makes it 0.7 seconds faster than its predecessor.

However, that number would place it just behind one of its main rivals - more in terms of bragging rights than anything else, the latest Mercedes-AMG E63, and its ability of going from rest to 100 km/h in as low as 3.3 seconds in 'S' form, thanks to a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that churns out 604 horsepower and 850 Nm of torque in the range-topper.

Powering the upcoming BMW M5 will be an upgraded version of the current 4.4-liter V8 lump, which will be massaged to deliver 600 or more horsepower. The vehicle will get an all-wheel drive system for the first time, but drivers will get to choose between having output sent to all four corners and RWD at the touch of a button.
