Wed Nov 16 14:15:58 CET 2011 Press Kit
Fifth generation of world’s most successful performance saloon. Most powerful series production engine ever for a BMW. Power up by 10 per cent, torque by 30 per cent yet fuel consumption down by 30 per cent. Seven-speed double-clutch Drivelogic transmission with new comfort driving function. New Active M differential for track-car dynamics and supreme touring comfort.
For more than 25 years the BMW M5 Saloon has defined the high-performance saloon segment, in the process becoming the most successful car of its type in the world. Now a new fifth-generation model raises the concept of the premium executive saloon combining track-car dynamics and supreme touring comfort to an even higher level.
It features the most potent engine ever devised by BMW’s high-performance M division, here making its world premiere, along with race-bred chassis technology that includes, for the first time, an Active M differential and electronic damping control. The unique exterior design has been dictated by the technical requirements of the car, while the luxurious sports car-like cockpit offers an extensive range of innovative driver assistance systems and mobility services.
The new M5 Saloon will be available in the UK in November 2011, priced at £73,040 on-the-road.
