Legendary High-Performance Sedan – now electrified.

The all-new BMW M5 combines the proven qualities that have made M the most powerful letter in the world with pioneering technologies. The legendary high-performance sedan BMW M5, with 40 years of history under its belt, is entering its seventh model generation and powering into a new era. The executive model from BMW M GmbH now has an electrified drive system for the first time. A model-specific version of the M HYBRID system gives the new BMW M5 maximum output of 535 kW (727 hp) and peak system torque of 1,000 Nm (737 lb-ft). The combination of a high-revving V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology and an electric motor, plus power transfer courtesy of an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission and M xDrive all-wheel drive, enables acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.5 seconds. The new BMW M5 made its world premiere in July at the Festival of Speed in Goodwood, UK, with its global market launch set to begin in November 2024.

The new BMW M5 is the current flagship of our model lineup. It represents BMW M’s enthusiasm for future technologies.

Riders earn points for their qualifying positions at each Grand Prix weekend, mirroring the points system used in the races. The rider who accumulates the most points by the end of the season wins the coveted BMW M Award. The record holder for the BMW M Award is Marc Márquez, who won the accolade seven times in a row from 2013 to 2019. In the past two years, Francesco Bagnaia has claimed the prestigious prize.
