Yes, you read that correctly, the current Audi RS 6 Avant (and the next-generation RS 7 Avant according to the brand’s new naming system), as well as the estate version of the Mercedes-AMG E 63, will face some tough competition from the upcoming BMW M5 Touring.
We have seen numerous spy photos of the car in its two variations, which will feature sportier front and rear designs compared to the regular 5 Series. Expect to see different front and rear bumpers, modified grilles, sporty diffusers at the back, and a few other elements adorned with the usual M logos, along with exclusive color options and dedicated wheels.
Underneath the surface, the next M5 has a revised chassis. It sits lower to the ground and is slightly firmer than the standard 5 Series, resulting in improved cornering. Upgraded brakes support the bespoke alloy wheels on all four corners, providing enhanced stopping power.
As any car enthusiast who has been closely following the upcoming BMW M5 can confirm, reports suggest that it will feature an electrified V8 engine. The 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 could be the same one found in the XM, also known as BMW M’s first standalone vehicle since the M1, which incorporates an electric motor within the eight-speed transmission.
The exact power output is still unknown, but if it aligns with the XM Label Red, it could benefit from 738 horsepower (749 ps/550 kW). The high-performance SUV boasts 738 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. In its base form, it will likely outperform the current M5 CS, and some sources suggest it could achieve a 0-60 mph (0-97 kph) sprint in under three seconds. There is certainly a lot to be excited about with this model.
According to reports, BMW’s all-new M5 will begin production this summer. The four-door variant will be the first to roll off the assembly line, with the M5 Touring expected to follow in November. As a result, both models will be classified as 2025 models when they arrive in the United States. As expected, the sedan will be the first to reach dealerships, followed a few months later by the five-door version.
In the meantime, we will continue to see the M5 in prototype form, and digital artists will persist in unraveling its visual secrets, just like germanysfinest43 has done. These computer-generated images were shared on social media over the weekend and are highly accurate. So, what are your thoughts on the design?
