There have been rumors stating that Beemer is busy working on their future 2024 BMW M5 currently. Some spy shots have been found on the net and they seem to have electrified powertrain and seemingly ready production body. It’s safe to say that they have the advanced prototype in the making. It means that the new M5 is no longer on a mule anymore; expect it to be ready with the prototype body. If you have been looking closely on their production stages, you will see that this new ride is completely different from the previous model.
The Design and Layout
The previous prototypes were said to be based loosely on the (regular) 5 Series body, which is modified and altered to meet the modifications and requirements required by the performance area. The new vehicle focuses more on the function instead of design and aesthetic appeal, so the prototype has tacked on fender flares. Other elements look like they are being attached by using hardware stores tools, instead of the auto sections.
If you take a look on the prototype, it has wider fender flares, fitting the body proportion better than ever. The matching side sills are also coming in a set. The front grille is definitely bigger and open, showing off the inserts having similarities to M4 CSL from Beemer. The headlight set seems like the one going to production mode, which makes them serious and menacing.
According to some sources, the big fenders are purposely designed to help the engineers in BMW M install bigger wheels along with massive brakes and also stickier tires. The suspension would be different, especially from the existing design on M5. The steering rack would be different from the one that is usually installed on M5, creating a refreshed look for the ride.
For the front doors, there is a written sticker Electrified Vehicle, which likely means that the vehicle won’t only run on battery but also high voltage electronics. For the interior cabin, expect to find many M logos along with iDrive 8 technology. The sportier model would have the supporting elements of carbon fiber ornaments, sports seats, sports steering wheel, and others.Powertrain and Performance
The 2024 BMW M5 is said to run on V8 twin turbo powertrain that is able to generate 750 hp, which is said to share platform with the XM. Up to this point, it is unclear whether it is the normal M5 or a new powertrain that is developed by the company.
Q and A
Q: Will there be a hybrid power with the M5?
A: Unfortunately, there is no information about the details of the upcoming M5. BMW is still tightly lipped about their production, so detailed specs would be unknown.
Q: Some people say that M5 Touring would be offered too. Is it true?
A: Again, there is no clear confirmation so we don’t really know whether the Touring would be brought back to the platform.
Q: Will the M5 come in auto transmission?
A: Yes, the M5 has automatic transmission.
We should know more about 2024 BMW M5 once more information and updates are available.
