But he has touches of exclusivity. The fenders are wider than those of an ordinary 5 Series and hood creases displays that muscular V-taper to the grid in "double kidney", the BMW trademark. Highlights also include the new (and already spent) "gills" typical of M vehicles in the front fenders and the diffuser integrated into the rear bumper, with its four exhaust pipes.
The interior has maintained sobriety ever. The four occupants traveling with more than enough space, comfort and luxury provided by leather seats with electric adjustment and optimum lateral support in the front.
Along with exceptional exchange automated seven-speed dual-clutch, you can find the buttons that adjust the engine response, steering and shock absorbers, which is beyond the control of trade in turns higher or lower, depending on the appetite of the pilot.
However, what makes it special with a BMW M symbol is that the new engine and chassis to give this 5 Series a behavior worthy of supercar. But the German brand strategy changed now: the left aspirated V10 5 liter, entered the same 4.4 liter V8 used in the X5 M and X6 SUVs M.
It is true that there was a reduction of engine capacity, which was offset by the addition of two turbochargers. To achieve the 10% increase in power (from 507 to 560 hp) and in torque by 30% (from 53 to 69.3 mkgf), BMW appealed to the High Precision direct injection, high pressure ratio turbo (1.5 bar) and the system Valvetronic, completely variable adjustment of the intake valves and exhaust, first installed in an engine room of M.
This wealth of technology and reduced weight / power ratio of 3.3 kg / hp help explain his 4.4 seconds in the 0 to 100 km / h, 13 seconds up to 200 km / h and 305 km / h maximum, when it is done Driver package for the option.
Perhaps most impressive performance is its consumption: 10.1 km factory releases / l in the European cycle with index emissions of 232 g / km of CO2, a sharp drop compared to the old 6.9 km / l and 361 g / km .
The suspension is another high point. Besides stiffening the springs, the electronic damper adjustment and larger stabilizer bars, the M5 has an active rear axle differential, which can send to a single rear wheel of 0 to 100% of torque, depending on the situation.
The M Servotronic steering with variable steering ratio, can go a softness in odd maneuvers target the full hardening at high speeds, changing the number of steering wheel turns and the level of assistance as needed.
To enhance the pleasure of the driver pilot the stability control can also be customized, ranging from minimum to intervene suspicious movement of the body and a more relaxed attitude when turned off, in which case the slip rear axle is allowed, up to a preset limit -defined, from which the system intervenes to deduce that the thing can not end well.
The only new M5 arrives in Europe at the beginning of next year and in Brazil in April, but had a chance to evaluate it in Spain. In the city, it is remarkable how he manages to disguise his drive turbocharged, running smoothly below 1500 rpm showing on the trip computer consumption close to official. Simply select the Comfort mode the various electronic programs to navigate with ease M5 car family.
But stepping back roads almost deserted access Ascari circuit in the city of Ronda, or on the racetrack, the genetic mutation is immediate and brutal. A simple touch of the button in the settings I recorded more nervous M5 and enter the zone of terror: the engine thickens the voice, the suspension becomes drier, the direction seems to anticipate my next with surgical precision movement and stability control comes in hibernation, waiting to act in case of any fault of mine.
It is remarkable how the adjustment the more sporty sedan starts to improve his time on the circuit, lap after lap, thanks to the rear derrapadas controlled the entrances curve.
It is recommended, however, caution on the right foot in the middle of the longest curves, but the acceleration will result in premature loss of time - despite generating a good deal of fun with their rear exits. In this situation of extreme driving, the butterflies use the wheel to make manual exchange (the exchange Drivelogic has three automatic modes and three other manuals).
It is noticed at the time that there is no disruption in torque delivery, a feat only possible dual clutch transmission. In fact, just another feat among many that this model can change.
2013 BMW M5 (F10) U.S. Pricing Announced at $90,695.
