The M xDrive with Active
M differential guarantees
maximum traction and dynamic
performance, both in everyday
driving and on the racetrack.
Depending on personal preference
or track conditions, the driver can
choose between the 4WD, 4WD
Sport and 2WD drive variants.
In 4WD mode, the M xDrive has
a set-up focused on optimum
control and superior traction. This
is particularly useful when road
conditions are poor. At the same
time, this mode enables drivers to
explore the dynamic potential of
the BMW M5 with the stability
control system switched off.
A passion for motor racing, driven by perfection: BMW M automobiles provide a level of dynamic performance, precision and power that
meets the highest requirements. The M TwinPower Turbo engines aren’t standard engines tuned for higher power output, but specially
developed powerplants that bring motorsport technology to the road. All other components are likewise perfectly tailored to the overall
concept. Everything from the suspension to the transmission, steering and brakes is designed for one purpose only: to deliver maximum
performance, whatever the challenge.
M TwinPower Turbo 8-cylinder petrol engine
in the BMW M5
‒ Max. output: 441 kW (600 hp)
‒ Max. torque: 750 Nm
‒ Acceleration 0–100 km/h: 3.4 s
‒ Top speed: 250 km / 305 km/h with M Driver’s package1
‒ Combined fuel consumption: 11.5–12.0 l/100 km
‒ Combined CO2 emissions: 261–273 g/km
M TwinPower Turbo 8-cylinder petrol engine
in the BMW M5 Competition
‒ Max. output: 460 kW (625 PS)
‒ Max. torque: 750 Nm
‒ Acceleration 0–100 km/h: 3.3 s
‒ Top speed: 250 km / 305 km/h with M Driver’s package1
‒ Combined fuel consumption: 11.5–12.0 l/100 km
‒ Combined CO2 emissions: 261–273 g/km
In 4WD Sport mode, the M xDrive
set-up is adjusted for increased
agility and sporting ability. The
combination of absolute precision,
effortless handling and convincing
traction ensures maximum driving
enjoyment – especially on a race
track.
The M sports exhaust system1 delivers a dynamic sound that can be modified via the integrated exhaust valve mechanism.
The SPORT and SPORT+ programmes, which can be selected via the Driving dynamics buttons, are accentuated by an even more
intense engine sound, while the comfort-oriented programme prioritises more discreet engine acoustics.
The M sound control buttons in the centre console allow the athletic engine sound and robust tailpipe noise to be adjusted inside
the vehicle. Depending on the driver‘s preference, the engine‘s linear power development and tremendous thrust can be showcased
in their best light, or the noise level can be discreetly subdued.
In 2WD mode, the BMW M5
enables driving enthusiasts to
savour the purist enjoyment of a
rear-wheel drive high-performance
saloon, with the Active M differential
ensuring supremely agile handling
and outstandingly precise control.

Further information on fuel consumption and CO2 emissions can be found in technical data

M POWERTRAIN AND M SUSPENSION.
Every BMW M development project begins with one aim: delivering outstanding dynamic ability. Every single component within the M5
suspension is designed for maximum performance, to ensure optimal road contact even when pushing the car to its limits. Aerodynamics
optimisation, lightweight construction and other BMW M technologies raise the vehicle’s level of performance even further.
M5 suspension.
The fundamentally revised M5 suspension fully highlights the vehicle’s enormous dynamic potential. The vehicle features a wider front
track, adjusted springs and harder stabilisers as well as a unique calibration of the Variable Damper Control, all of which work together to
provide a distinctly athletic driving style.
The M Carbon ceramic brake1, 2 delivers braking power more directly. It is non-corrosive, very resistant to abrasion, tolerates more heat
and contributes to a lower vehicle weight, which has a positive impact on agility, dynamics and acceleration. Matt Gold-coloured brake
callipers with the M designation make this special technical equipment visible from outside the car.

Configurable setups M1 and M2 allow you to save individual driving dynamics settings.
Two individual driving dynamics configurations can be stored in the BMW M5. Saving a set-up is easy and intuitive: to save the current setting, drivers
simply have to press and hold down the M1 or M2 button on the steering wheel; alternatively, they can configure a set-up via the BMW iDrive menu.
The M1/M2 buttons on the steering wheel are also used to access a saved set-up. The selected mode – M1 or M2 – is displayed on the instrument panel.
Configuration options.
M xDrive: new for the BMW M5, with 4WD, 4WD Sport and 2WD modes
8-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic: shift mode (D or S) and shift programs (level 1, 2 and 3)

Drivers can also adjust the display mode of the BMW M specific Head-Up Display
The 8-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic features extremely short shifting times and numerous shifting options: from very athletic and
dynamic to comfortable and fuel-efficient. The gears can also be shifted manually with the gear lever, or via gearshift paddles on the steering wheel.

With the press of a button, the driver can switch to the M specific display, which includes a gear indicator, the rpm as a dynamic range curve with shift lights
indicating the optimal moment to shift as well as navigation tips.
Challenging the laws of physics is part of BMW M automobiles’ DNA. This always includes a maximum amount of safety as well – because
power is useless if it can’t be controlled. This is why BMW M includes anticipatory technologies that support the driver to combine unlimited
driving enjoyment with the highest degree of safety. A wealth of intelligent safety measures are in place to ensure that you always feel
protected on the road, even when approaching the car’s limits.
The Adaptive LED headlights include BMW Selective Beam, cornering lights and adaptive headlights. The light colour is similar to
daylight and provides an ideal, even illumination of the road to improve visibility and make driving in the dark less tiring. The iconic light
design with four light elements makes the vehicle recognisable as a BMW even at night.

and manoeuvring the vehicle easier. It features Surround View including
Top View, Remote 3D View, PDC as well as a lateral parking aid, the
Active PDC emergency braking function and the Parking Assistant with
linear guidance that provides fully automatic parking both parallel and
perpendicular to the road.
Driving Assistant Plus3 offers greater comfort and security during
monotonous or complex driving situations. These can include traffic jams,
stop-and-go traffic or long journeys through the city, on country roads or
motorways, along with navigating junctions and lane changes.
BMW Night Vision with person recognition2 makes people and
large animals visible on the Control Display from a distance using heat
imaging and illuminates them with the Dynamic Marker Light in the main
headlight. An additional warning system is also automatically activated
when the vehicle is started, regardless of the status of the imaging display.
Active Protection is the BMW ConnectedDrive preventive passenger
protection system. Active Protection warns the driver if it detects signs of
tiredness, safety belts are pretensioned in critical situations, electric seats
are returned to upright positions and the windows and sliding roof are
closed. After an accident occurs, the brakes are automatically applied until
the car reaches a standstill.
The visuals in the BMW Head-Up Display are not fully visible when viewed through

assistance systems make every journey
in your BMW even safer and more
enjoyable.
Autonomous driving is not a utopia, it is
the future: All over the world, BMW Personal
CoPilot test vehicles are already driving
completely independently without the driver's
intervention and not only show impressively
how mobility will change in the near future –
they also offer an outlook on the next level of
driving pleasure. Even today, BMW Personal
CoPilot already offers a large number of
intelligent semi-automated assistants that
actively support and relieve the driver in
almost every driving situation.

SIMPLY PARK IT.
CONNECTED
Intelligent parking assistance systems from
BMW Personal CoPilot are available so that
you don’t just look forward to every ride in
your BMW, but also to parking. For example,
the Parking assistant already displays
suitable parking spaces as you drive past and,
depending on the BMW model, runs the
parking process either partially or completely
independently. But here too, automation
will continue to advance, so that in the future
it will be possible for vehicles without drivers
to search for a parking space and execute
the parking process autonomously.

Focused on the future – from the very
beginning. By the 199 s, BMW had already
made headway in connected mobility.
Another milestone of the digital future was
surpassed in 2 4: vehicles with built-in
SIM cards. Then came the first online
functionality, Google Services and innovative
display systems such as the BMW Head-Up
Display. Throughout this process, the desires
of the customer have always taken centre
stage. As the first premium automobile
manufacturer, BMW makes it possible to
book and pay for services flexibly via the
BMW ConnectedDrive Store, in the vehicle
or on a computer at home. And with the
introduction of BMW Connected and the
Open Mobility Cloud, BMW is taking the
next steps into the future of mobility.

of paint, upholstery and interior trim colours cannot in all cases faithfully reproduce the
appearance of the original colour. Please discuss your preferred colour choices with your

The EC unladen weight refers to a vehicle with standard equipment and does not include any optional extras. The unladen weight includes a 9 % full tank and a driver weight of
75 kg. Optional equipment may affect the weight of the vehicle, the payload and the top speed if the selected equipment has an impact on the vehicle’s aerodynamics.
The actual total weight of the trailer must not exceed the maximum trailer load, taking into account the maximum tow bar download.
Electronically limited.
Performance data of petrol engines apply to vehicles using RON 98 fuel. Fuel consumption data apply to vehicles using reference fuels in accordance with EU Regulation
2 7/715. Unleaded RON 91 and higher with a maximum ethanol content of 1 % (E1 ) may also be used. BMW recommends RON 95 super unleaded petrol.
The data for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and energy consumption are determined in accordance with the measurements processes as defined by European Regulation
(EU) 715/2 7 in the applicable version. Data refer to a vehicle with base-level equipment in Germany, and the ranges account for differences according to the selected wheel and
tyre size and the optional equipment. For these vehicles, values other than those specified here may apply for the assessment of taxes and other vehicle-related charges that are
(also) based on CO2 emissions. Version 1/18/2 19.
In combination with M Driver's Package, the top speed is increased to 3 5 km/h.
