ONLY WHEN NOTHING CAN BE ADDED OR TAKEN AWAY CAN THE RESULT BE CONSIDERED THE ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE WORTHY OF THE LETTER M. GET IN, START THE ENGINE AND EXPERIENCE THE NEXT LEVEL OF EXHILARATION. WELCOME TO THE BMW M5 SALOON. M POWERTRAIN AND M SUSPENSION. Innovation and Technology 18 | 19 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. 1 Available as optional equipment. Further information on fuel consumption and CO2 emissions can be found in technical data or consult your local BMW partner. 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. Innovation and Technology 2 | 21 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) M TwinPower Turbo engine: response – Efficient, Sport or Sport+ M Servotronic: servo boost – COMFORT, SPORT or SPORT+ M suspension: response – COMFORT, SPORT or SPORT+ Dynamic Stability Control (DSC): modes – DSC ON, MDM (M Dynamic Mode) or DSC OFF 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. 1 2 Available as optional equipment. Depending on conditions and usage, features specific to the materials used can lead to operational noises, particularly in wet conditions, just before the vehicle comes to a halt. DRIVER ASSISTANCE AND SAFETY. Innovation and Technology  Standard equipment 22 | 23  Optional equipment  The full-colour BMW Head-Up Display with M specific functions1 projects all information relevant for the journey directly into the driver’s field of vision. 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.

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.
