LEAKED: 2025 BMW M5

What’s New for 2025?

BMW is cooking up something spicy for the next-generation M5. The hottest sedan from the M division will exit the oven sometime in July 2024 with a speculated 735 horsepower and 735 pound-feet of torque. This time it’s getting help from not one, but four, electric motors. The new M5 is said to use a similar drivetrain as the plug-in-hybrid XM Label Red SUV and will continue to be sold as a sedan, though there are rumors surrounding a possible M5 Touring wagon for the North American market.

Rumors circling the upcoming next-gen M5 suggest the high-flying 5-series will borrow the PHEV powertrain from the 735-hp XM Label Red SUV and carry as much as 735 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels.  That’s a total output figure, derived from BMW’s 4.4-liter twin-turbo V-8 gas engine and the M5’s lithium-ion battery pack. Just like in the XM Label Red, the M5 is expected to use an eight-speed automatic transmission. The current gas-only M5 shot to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds with less power and without the assistance of quick-acting electric motors, so we wouldn’t be surprised if the additional horsepower and torque resulted in quicker acceleration.

As the M5 will serve as both the maximum performance model and a feature-laden rocket ship, expect heated-and-ventilated seats, customizable ambient lighting, and gesture control of infotainment.
