Now that the regular G30 BMW 5 Series has gotten its facelift (LCI or Life Cycle Impulse in BMW speak), it is now time for the big daddy M5 to get its update. As before, the quintessential sports sedan comes in regular and Competition flavours, both with new styling and upgraded dynamics.
Like lesser 5 Series variants, the latest M5 gets a conjoined kidney grille that is more upright and drops down further into the front apron. This is flanked by new LED headlamps, which can be upgraded with BMW Laserlight technology, and are accompanied by L-shaped light guides.
If you’re expecting more power from the S63 4.4 litre twin-turbo V8, sorry. The mill still makes 600 PS (591 hp) at 6,000 rpm and 750 Nm of torque from 1,800 to 5,600 rpm in the regular M5, while the M5 Competition pushes out 633 PS (625 Bhp) and the same amount of torque, the same as before. Both will hit a top speed of 305 km/h with the optional M Driver’s Package (default is 250 km/h), and the zero to 100 km/h time is 3.4 seconds with the M5 or 3.3 seconds with the M5 Competition.
