M HYBRID System: Power Meets Efficiency
The 2025 BMW M5 Sedan and 2025 M5 Touring bring revolutionary specifications, blending motorsport engineering with electric innovation. These luxury sports sedans set new standards by combining a V8 petrol engine with an electric motor, offering drivers in the UAE a powerful yet efficient driving experience.
Both models are powered by the M HYBRID system, which pairs a 4.4-liter V8 engine with an electric motor, generating a total output of 727 horsepower and 1,000 Nm of torque. This power allows the M5 Sedan to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 3.5 seconds.
With the M Driver’s Package, the car can reach a top speed of 305 km/h, making it one of the fastest hybrid sedans available.
The electric motor adds seamless acceleration, producing an impressive 450 Nm of torque. Together, the electric motor and V8 engine deliver a smooth, responsive driving experience that highlights speed, agility, and precision handling.
The M5 Touring offers the same level of performance with practicality, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds, making it perfect for everyday city driving or long highway journeys.
Unmatched Driving Experience: Performance Beyond Expectations
BMW’s motorsport expertise shines in the design and engineering of the M5 and M5 Touring. Inspired by the BMW M Hybrid V8 endurance racing car, the hybrid system delivers the high performance associated with M models, coupled with electric innovation. The eight-speed M Steptronic transmission, featuring three shift modes, offers full control, with paddle shifters providing a manual gear-changing option. The unique chassis technology balances performance with comfort, ensuring a smooth ride.
The M xDrive all-wheel drive system enhances the driving experience further, offering 4WD, 4WD Sport, and 2WD modes, allowing drivers to adjust to different road conditions while maintaining stability both on the road and on the racetrack. The Launch Control system further boosts the car’s dynamic performance, ensuring impressive acceleration and precision handling.
Bold Design with Dynamic Aesthetics
More than just engineering marvels, the BMW M5 and M5 Touring showcase a bold design that exudes sportiness and elegance. M-specific design elements, such as the front apron, wheel arches, side vents, and the distinctive M5 C-pillar, give the models their sporty character. The predominantly body-colored paintwork adds an air of sophistication.
The illuminated M kidney grille, known as Iconic Glow, and dynamic lighting accents enhance the cars’ striking appearance. At the rear, twin exhausts and the M carbon roof help reduce weight and lower the center of gravity, contributing to better performance.
The M5 Touring stands out with its combination of BMW’s Touring design and M-specific features. The long roofline, prominent wheel arches, and bold lines provide a sporty, functional look, catering to customers who value performance and practicality.
Luxurious, Tech-Driven Interiors
Both the BMW M5 and M5 Touring offer interiors that blend comfort with cutting-edge technology. The M leather steering wheel and multifunction seats add a touch of sportiness to the refined cabin. The BMW Curved Display provides M-specific data, while the dashboard features the latest version of BMW iDrive, which includes Head-Up Display and Augmented Reality Navigation, enhancing the driver’s seamless experience.
The use of Merino leather, ambient lighting, and four-zone climate control elevate the luxurious feel of the cabin. The panoramic sunroof adds to the sense of spaciousness, while the Bowers & Wilkins sound system offers an exceptional audio experience. Both models’ interiors are designed to ensure maximum comfort, whether driving through the city or across challenging terrains.
For those seeking practicality, the M5 Touring offers 500 liters of storage space, which can expand to 1,630 liters, making it ideal for long trips or daily use, without sacrificing performance.
Cutting-Edge Technology and Safety
The new BMW M5 models are equipped with advanced driver assistance features designed to enhance both safety and enjoyment. Standard technologies include Lane Departure Warning, Collision Warning, and Parking Assistant. For those seeking more, the Driving Assistant Professional package offers semi-autonomous driving for long journeys.
The M5 models also feature advanced parking assistance technologies. Parking Assistant Professional allows for remote parking via smartphone, ideal for navigating tight city spaces.
The introduction of the BMW M5 and M5 Touring emphasizes BMW’s leadership in the electrification of vehicles, offering customers in the UAE a dynamic, environmentally responsible driving experience.
