While these are renderings, there is a
very good chance the facelifted 2021 BMW M5 will look exactly like this when it
is presented to the world on June 17. The premiere of the updated M5 will come
shortly after the rest of the 5-Series range was facelifted. Styling
modifications will be subtle but they do promise to give the new super sedan a
more appealing look.
The most obvious styling change shown in
these unofficial renderings from Kolesa will come at the front where BMW will
fit slimmer and more angular headlights that will work wonders on the overall
presence of the car. BMW will tweak the blacked-out front kidney
grilles and also design a new bumper with re-shaped air intakes and black
intake surrounds. Alterations made to the rear will be a touch more subtle and
perhaps limited to just the new taillights.
The new model will continue to be sold in
M5 and M5 Competition forms from launch, both powered by a 4.4-liter
twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 600 hp and 617 hp respectively. In the
not too distant future, a more powerful and lighter M5 CS variant will hit the
market. The most significant mechanical modification expected across the M5
family is a set of new shocks to soften out the ride.
As for the interior, a handful of small
updates are to be expected. Most notable will be the fitment of a larger
12.3-inch touchscreen for the infotainment system.
