BMW has shared yet another teaser of the upcoming 2025 M5 Sedan and M5 Touring plug-in hybrids, providing glimpses into their development process. The highlight of the teaser includes sketches of the M5, revealed on camera for the first time. These drawings provide further insights into the M-specific styling cues, which remain concealed in the camouflaged prototypes. The G90 BMW M5 will stand out visually from the regular 5-Series, boasting a more aggressive body design. This will entail wider fenders, deeper bumpers, and a rear diffuser accommodating quad exhaust pipes. Spy photographers have already captured prototypes with reduced camouflage, uncovering the charging port’s placement on the swollen front fender.
The drawings reveal the designers’
intention to give the M5 a boxier and more aggressive appearance compared to
its lesser 5-Series counterparts, effectively communicating its performance
credentials. Additionally, we catch a glimpse of the sheet metal on the
muscular rear fenders of the M5 Touring, devoid of the typical camouflage wrap.
BMW has confirmed that the new M5 will
feature a plug-in hybrid setup, similar to the XM SUV flagship. The twin-turbo
4.4-liter V8 engine will be assisted by a single electric motor, integrated within
the eight-speed automatic gearbox, and a battery pack with a rumored capacity
of 18.6 kWh. The combined output is believed to reach 718 hp and 1,030 Nm of torque, transmitted to all four wheels. Reports
suggest that the new model will tip the scales at 2,435 kg, making
it the heaviest among all M5 generations.
