As we previously mentioned, the new V8 unit which replaces the old V10 that fits the previous generation is able to provide 10% more maximum power and an increase of 30% in terms of peak torque.

Even the engine decreased, the new BMW M5 (F10) is still able to deliver improved performance being able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in only 4,4 seconds while the top speed is electronically limited at 250 km/h. According to the extended details revealed by BMW UK, the new M5 F10 features a low speed assistance function which will help in heavy traffic conditions, making the German model move smoothly with a single touch of the accelerator.

“For more than 25 years the BMW M5 Saloon has defined the high-performance saloon, 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,” add the Germans.
