UK pricing details for the 2018 BMW M5 have just
been announced, solidifying the sedan’s place as a proper Mercedes-AMG E63 S
rival. The new M5 can be purchased for 87,160 pounds (US$ 108,785).
Compared to the old F10 M5, the new car is
significantly pricier. In fact, the old car cost a ‘mere 73,985 pounds
(US$ 95,633). However, Bimmer Post points out that the new M5 comes with a host of
standard features that were options on the old car and when specced equally,
the old and new M5s are priced almost identically.
For the money, customers will get the keys to a
super sedan powered by a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 with 600 PS and 750 Nm of torque. Thanks to the car’s use of an eight-speed automatic
transmission and a new all-wheel drive system, 0-100 km/h passes in
3.4 seconds and 0-200 km/h in 11.1 seconds. Top speed sits at a
limited 250 km/h but with the M Driver’s Package, that figure rises
to 305 km/h.
