The 2025 BMW M5 is said to deliver many promising features although the starting price may not be everyone’s favorite. The upcoming M5 sedan is said to come in around 2024, around July, and it would be coming with upgraded powertrain that will ‘wow’ everyone. Moreover, the 7th gen vehicle may be more complicated before of the PHEV setup (which was taken from the XM SUV, but it doesn’t mean that the entire performance would be compromised either.
The Updated Plan
With a price that starts from around $115,000, the upcoming M5 would have to be serious and somewhat punchy. The new SUV would be coming with improved powertrain, able to deliver 735 hp and also 735 Nm of torque. This is considered the wildest version of the 5 Series that has some extra pounds, along with rear wheel driving system and bigger brakes so they would be able to handle the impressive output.
The fuel burning version would likely be running on V8 unit that can generate 627 hp, especially from the M5 CS. The current gen is already able to reach 60 mph within only 2.8 seconds, but with the new 2025 BMW M5, the car may be able to improve its performance and reach higher number. It’s just too bad that 2024 is still far away, but with some confirmed information, we can surely expect better outcome. It’s safe to assume that the new M5 would be better and somewhat more promising.
Price and Trim Levels
So far, the provided info is that the 2025 M5 would be coming with only 2 trim levels. The base trim would be the M5 whose predicted price is set at around $120,000, while the second one would be M5 Competition, which is set at around $140,000. There is no detailed information about each of the trim level, but even the M5 alone has impressive features. You can say that it has a complete package, with impressive design tweak and better performance. So, it’s safe to say that the M5 Competition should be able to offer more.
Powertrain and Performance
There is a possibility that the powertrain option would be inspired from XM (Label Red) SUV that is able to deliver 735 hp and also 735 Nm of torque through the four wheel driving system. It would be running on V8 twin turbo gas unit with 4.4 liter capacity (inspired from Beemer) and also the li-ion battery from M5. It’s possibly paired up with auto 8 speed transmission.
The current model (which is the gas version) is able to cover 60 mph in only 2.8 seconds, which means that the improved tweak may affect the acceleration, making it faster and more effective. The powertrain for the PHEV is said to add extra 400 pounds, it should be accompanied by bigger brakes.
Battery Life and Charging Capacity
It’s not know of how big the battery pack would be, but considering that it’s sharing powertrain with the XM, there is a possibility that it’s using the 25.7 kWh battery. The ability to cover 60 miles with electric only is expected, and the expected speed may reach 87 mph until the (battery) pack reaches its recharge threshold. If the M5 is seriously using the same battery, it’s possible that the car should be able to recharge its battery in only 3 hours to reach 100%.
Interior Cabin and Comfort
The interior cabin should be plush, exclusive, and somewhat convenient. Expect sophisticated features, such as customizable (ambient) lighting, infotainment system with gesture control, heated (and also ventilated) seats, and so much more. Space would be roomy and generous, and it applies for both cargo and passengers. We should know more about 2025 BMW M5 once more information and updates are known.
