Woodcliff Lake, NJ – June 22, 2011... Since the “M5” badge was first placed on the deck lid of a BMW back in 1988, this iconic model has exemplified the luxury and daily usability of a top range BMW sedan combined with true super-car performance. Now, in its 5th generation, the all-new BMW M5 is again poised to redefine the performance envelope possible in a luxury sedan.
The new BMW M5 is a high-performance sports car whose exceptional dynamic potential is geared squarely towards the demands of track use, while – at the same time – sets a new benchmark in daily driving with its touring comfort and innovative equipment features. It also sets the pace in its class in terms of efficiency.
In order to achieve these lofty performance goals, the new BMW M5 introduces the most powerful engine ever fitted in a series-produced model from BMW M GmbH mated to a new high-torque
7-speed M-Double Clutch (M-DCT). An innovative Active M Differential, which optimizes power transfer to the rear wheels combined with extensive chassis upgrades developed on the history of extensive racing expertise, ensures that the engine’s performance can be transferred to the ground.
