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.
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.
