The seventh generation of the 2025 BMW M5 is here, and it's a beauty. From its aerodynamic design and sporty interior to its cutting-edge features and powerful hybrid drivetrain, the M5 is redefining the performance sedan. We look at just some of the reasons the BMW M5 is a performance marvel. more 5 Reasons the 2025 BMW M5 Is a Performance Marvel 1. Powerful Hybrid System The new incarnation of the M5 marks the model's entry into the realm of electrified sports cars. At its heart is a new hybrid system consisting of a 4.4-liter TwinPower Turbo V8 and a 194-horsepower electric motor that generates a combined 717 ponies and 738 pound-feet of torque. BMW mates the hybrid drivetrain with all-wheel drive and an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission to maximize performance and handling. The result of this impressive combination is heart-stopping acceleration that thrusts the M5 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds and enables it to hit top speeds of 190 mph. 2. Unrivalled Efficiency It's not often the terms 'sports car' and 'efficient' are used in the same sentence, but this sports car definitely efficient. An all-electric range of 25 miles means there's no need to head to the gas station when running local errands. 3. Integral Active Steering The M5 is fitted with an Integral Active Steering system to enhance performance. This innovative system controls how the wheels turn depending on the speed at which you're traveling. At low speeds, rear-axle steering turns the rear wheels in the opposite direction to the front, reducing the M5's turning angle and improving maneuverability. At high speeds, the rear wheels move in the same direction as the front wheels, enhancing stability when switching lanes on the highway. 4. Driver-Centric Cockpit BMW ensures you have everything at your fingertips to help you handle this high-performing machine. Gear changing is a breeze thanks to the paddle shifters mounted on the sporty flat-bottomed leather steering wheel. And, the bright red stop/start button, the control for the iDrive system, and the drive mode selector are all intuitively positioned on the center console. 5. Designed to Maximize Performance Everything about the M5 is designed to maximize performance. The flowing curves, sloped hood, sculptural front apron, and flared wheel arches give this sports car its distinctive look while contributing to the aerodynamics. At the front, the high-gloss black kidney grille maximizes airflow, while the rear apron and spoiler do the same at the back. The sleek LED headlamps don't just light up the road ahead, they also adapt with the steering to illuminate bends as you turn into them. The M5 is an engineering masterpiece, from its hybrid powertrain to its driver-focused cockpit. Be one of the first to experience this performance marvel by contacting us or visiting Tom Bush BMW Orange Park in Jacksonville, FL, today.

When it's time to replace critical vehicle parts or complete routine maintenance, the best thing you can do is complete repairs with genuine BMW parts. These parts have the same quality and fit as the parts that came with your BMW when it was fresh from the factory, which means you can enjoy long-lasting repairs and impeccable vehicle performance. more Genuine BMW Parts vs. Aftermarket: Quality and Performance High quality and performance are the key benefits of using genuine parts for your vehicle repair. OEM or genuine parts are manufactured by the same makers who created the original parts that came with your BMW and are often specifically designed for your BMW trim. Since these parts are made with higher-quality materials, you can generally expect your repairs to last longer than when repairs are made with aftermarket parts. High-quality replacement parts also have a positive impact on the performance of your vehicle. Genuine parts that are designed for your specific model work with other vehicle components to support the vehicle's performance demands. This means there will not be a marked difference in the performance of your BMW after repairs are completed, even when major parts are replaced. With aftermarket parts, your vehicle's performance may decline. Warranty Benefits When you use genuine parts for your vehicle repair, you also get the benefit of a limited warranty. The two-year warranty generally covers the cost of replacing OEM BMW parts if the part fails due to defects. This perk means you can invest in high-quality parts and have peace of mind that paying for additional repairs will cost very little since replacing the defective part is likely covered by the warranty. Where Can You Get Genuine Parts? The most convenient way to purchase genuine parts for your BMW is at your local dealership. You can order specific parts online through your dealership's website, or you can call your dealership's service department to place an order by phone. This is ideal if you know the exact parts your vehicle needs for simple maintenance, such as ordering genuine motor oil. The benefit of ordering genuine parts through your local dealership is expert installation. When parts arrive for your repair, you can trust trained BMW technicians to properly install the part so you can feel confident in the longevity of your vehicle repair. Additionally, your local dealership likely has genuine parts on hand at the service center for common repairs, so there might not be any wait time to get your car back on the road. Vehicle repairs are part of car ownership, so it's important to invest in high-quality parts that ensure long-lasting repairs. Get in touch with Tom Bush BMW Orange Park in Jacksonville, FL to schedule a service appointment or order genuine parts today.

One of BMW's signature engineering features is the BMW xDrive System, an intelligent all-wheel drivetrain that boosts reliable handling in all weather and traffic conditions. The xDrive AWD system may be standard on certain models, or it may be available as an upgrade to maximize the sporty performance of your sedan or SUV. Learn about this innovative AWD system to see how it can enhance your daily drive. more Understanding the BMW xDrive System This intelligent all-wheel drivetrain continually monitors wheel spin for all four wheels and distributes power to wheels that lose traction to support your vehicle's on-road or off-road performance. The ratio of power sent to the wheels can automatically adjust based on the condition of the road so that you never lose traction or acceleration. Like a traditional all-wheel drivetrain, the xDrive refines your vehicle's performance in slippery driving conditions, such as rain, sleet, snow, mud, or loose dirt. In dry driving conditions when the wheels have stable traction, the xDrive system functions the same as an ordinary AWD system by evenly delivering power to the front and rear drive axles. Dynamic Stability Control and Dynamic Traction Control The xDrive system comes with a Dynamic Stability Control system that prevents skidding on slippery roads. This system works by automatically applying brake pressure to individual wheels as soon as excessive wheel spin is detected on slippery roads. The result is restored vehicle stability and steering control in an instant, so you can feel more confident when you drive in heavy rain or on icy streets. As part of the Dynamic Stability Control system, BMWs equipped with an xDrive AWD also have Dynamic Traction Control. This system works by enhancing wheel power for greater traction to get you out of deep snow or even mud so you're never stuck on the road. xDrive and Cornering Support While the xDrive AWD system is designed to improve traction on slippery road surfaces, this system also delivers refined vehicle dynamics and cornering support. When your xDrive BMW takes a corner, the system will reduce the power of the inner wheels so that you can complete turns more quickly. This system can also sense when you turn a corner with too much power and will automatically send more energy to the front axle to prevent oversteering. The xDrive AWD system is an intelligent feature that can determine how much power is required to keep your BMW moving in low-traction driving situations, whether by increasing wheel power when loss of traction is detected or by engaging minute brake pulses to keep your steering steady. Get in touch with Tom Bush BMW Orange Park in Jacksonville, FL to ask about available BMW models with an xDrive AWD.

BMW gesture control first arrived on the scene in 2015, allowing drivers to interact with the iDrive system without diverting their attention from the road. Since 2023, gesture control has gradually been phased out in favor of voice commands and a touchscreen interface. However, many BMW certified and pre-owned vehicles still include gesture control, which is great news for the many drivers who found it useful. more How to Use BMW Gesture Control How Does Gesture Control Work? Gesture control operates through a 3D camera positioned in the BMW roof lining. This interprets hand movements and carries out the corresponding action within the iDrive system. As it's possible to make gestures without taking your eyes off the road, gesture control enhances driver safety. What Controls Are Available? The exact controls may vary by model, so it's advisable to check the instructions before driving. All information relating to gesture control can be found within iDrive under the "Gesture" option. Some of the most popular gesture controls included are: Accept a call: extend and retract your finger Reject a call: wave your hand to the right Volume control: move your hand with your finger extended in a circular motion Move the camera: pinch and drag your finger and thumb Skip a track/change station: extend your thumb to the left or right Although some controls appear to rely on finger movements, you'll get the best results by moving your whole hand at the same time. It's also important to ensure that your whole hand is visible to the camera located above. Can Gesture Control be Personalized? There are many other gestures that can be added through the settings menu. This allows you to choose preferred actions in response to gestures such as opening your fist or pointing with two fingers. Popular functions for these actions include starting navigation to your home address or muting the audio. Troubleshooting Gesture Control If you experience any difficulties using gesture control, it may be simply that your hand is not positioned correctly. The easiest way to find the right spot is by imagining two straight lines. The first line extends out from the base of the mirror and the other from the top of the air vent. The space in the center is the ideal spot to make your gestures. If you have been smoking or vaping in your car, you might notice the gesture control isn't as responsive as usual. A quick wipe of the camera lens should restore the gesture control to its usual precision. Wearing bulky gloves can sometimes also make it difficult for the camera to detect hand movements accurately.
