The Bavarian manufacturer has just created an event on social networks by publishing a mysterious teaser of the next generation of BMW M5, expected for 2025. If the image reveals few details about this monster of power, one element retains all attention: the impressive illuminated grille, a true visual signature of this new M5. Sedan and station wagon are on the program, with a plug-in hybrid V8 under the hood which promises breathtaking performance.
A teaser that sets fire to the powder
Last Wednesday, BMW pulled out all the stops on social media by announcing the imminent arrival of a new M5. If the brand has not revealed the exact presentation date, it should take place by the end of the month.
The teaser accompanying this announcement is cleverly framed to maintain the mystery around this BMW M5 2025. We can mainly see the imposing illuminated grille, a true centerpiece of the front design of this model. A strong stylistic element that is sure to get people talking and arouse passion among fans of the brand.
Sedan and station wagon on the program, a first in the United States
Good news for BMW aficionados across the Atlantic: for the first time, the M5 will be offered in two versions on the American market:
If the prototypes of these two versions have already been seen several times during test sessions, BMW has not yet confirmed whether the sedan and the station wagon will be revealed simultaneously. One thing is certain: both versions will be sold in the United States, unlike the M3 which is only available as a sedan in this market.
A plug-in hybrid V8 under the hood
On the technical side, the new BMW M5 will be based on the recently restyled 5 Series platform. But unlike the other versions in the range, it will be the only one to feature a V8 engine, associated with a plug-in hybrid system.
More precisely, this V8 will be supported by an electric motor integrated into the 8-speed automatic gearbox. An architecture already proven on the BMW XM and XM Label Red, where it develops 644 and 738 hp respectively. Figures which suggest a significant power gain for the M5, the previous version of which peaked at 627 hp in its CS version.
Increasing performance despite being overweight
If the electrification of the M5 will inevitably result in significant excess weight, performance should still be significantly improved compared to the outgoing generation. As a reminder, the latter accelerated from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and reached a top speed of 305 km/h in its CS version.
In addition to even more dazzling acceleration, this hybridization will also allow the M5 to travel a few kilometers in 100% electric mode, thanks to the presence of a modest capacity battery. A way for BMW to reconcile performance and sobriety, in a context where environmental standards are becoming increasingly pressing.
See you in a few weeks to discover all the secrets of this new BMW M5, which is already shaping up to be one of the thrills of the year 2025. With its impressive look, its cutting-edge technicality and its insane performances, it certainly has everything to capsize the hearts of enthusiasts!
