The sixth generation of the high performance sedan, the all-new BMW M5 was launched today at Auto Expo 2018. The all-new BMW M5 features the new M-specific all-wheel-drive system – M xDrive for the first time. With the M xDrive, the all-new BMW M5 can be piloted with the familiar blend of sportiness and unerring accuracy both on the race track and out on the open road, while also delighting drivers with its significantly enhanced directional stability and controllability right up to the limits of performance when driving in adverse conditions.
The M TwinPower Turbo 8-cylinder petrol engine in the all-new BMW M5 leaves nothing to be desired. The high-revving power unit delivers its exceptional output of 600bhp and a tremendous peak torque of 750 Nm. The boost in performance pushes the all-new BMW M5 from 0 to 100 km/hr in just 3.4 seconds for the ultimate adrenaline kick. The innovative M xDrive drivetrain system in the all-new BMW M5 combines the hallmark M agility and precision provided by standard rear-wheel drive with the traction-enhancing benefits of an all-wheel drive. The driver can choose from different configurations based on combinations of DSC modes (DSC on, MDM, DSC off) and M xDrive modes (4WD, 4WD Sport, 2WD). The configurations allow the drive system to be tailored to both the driver’s personal choice and the nature of the journey. Purists can opt for classical rear-wheel drive by deactivating the all-wheel-drive system. The all-new BMW M5 is available in a petrol variant at an ex-showroom price of Rs 1.44 crore.
