New BMW M5 spy shots and stats
BMW new M5 spy shots
It’s now twenty five years since the BMW M5 was launched and the M division has begun development of the 5th generation model. This version is set to be the first version to adopt turbochargers in its engine build so should be an exciting version. Using a similar unit as that in the Z5 AND X6 M the M5 would be expected to produce more that the 555 bhp in these two. The power delivery will also come in sooner with much greater low end torque and the V8’s peak power should arrive around 6000 rpm compared to the 7750rpm of the V10. An advanced cooling system will also be integrated due to the nature of using turbo powered engines as an intercooler will be required. Other advancements BMW are looking at are the use of Carbon fibre in the body shell – with roof and boot lid being replaced. LED lighting will be fitted as seems to now be the norm with all manufacturers following Audi’s lead.
