Spy photos reveal new details on the 2017 BMW M5
BMW M5, Rumors | August 1st, 2016

Thanks to new spy photos of the 2017 BMW M5, we now have an updated rendering showing the alleged front-end design of the next M5

Thanks to new spy photos of the 2017 BMW M5, we now have an updated rendering showing the alleged front-end design of the next M5. The folks over atMotor.es have peeled off the camo wrap from the M5 test mules spotted in Spain and revealed design cues in line with the latest BMW M products. Specifically, with the BMW M2 Coupe. The front fascia sports the iconic kidney grille with the chrome outer edge meeting the end of the sleek headlights. On the lower part of the front-end, a set of large air intakes house similar aero blades as those on the M2 Coupe.

The new M5 is built under the codename F90 and over the last few months we have seen several prototypes testing on public roads and at the Nurburgring. Just like the G30 5 Series, the F90 M5 has received the harsh treatment of weight loss, thanks to the inclusion of exotic materials such as high strength steels or carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP).

The current M5 F10 was already close to two tons weight, so the weight savings in this new generation are crucial for the driving dynamics of the new M5. According to our sources, the weight scale will indicate around 100 kilograms less than the current F10 M5.

THE ENGINE
If everything goes as planned, the new 2017 BMW M5 will be powered by the same 4.4 liter V8 TwinTurbo used by the current M5. However, BMW engineers have worked hard to evolve and optimize the M engine. Therefore, the new F90 M5 will use the same base architecture of the current V8, but with a twist. The updated unit has been optimized to deliver maximum power at a wider rpm range, yet the power won’t exceed by much the 600 hp mark. Sources say a 620 hp figure is definitely achievable, but won’t confirm the final power output. Currently, the M5’s rivals are in the range of 550 to 605 hp.

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE FOR THE FIRST TIME
The F90 M5 will also bring the long-time rumored all-wheel drive system to an M5 and future M6 models. The xDrive system will be rear-biased, just like the one in the X5 M and X6 M SUVs, and it will be optional. The xDrive system has been developed specifically for the M5, with a specific task to retain the driving dynamics of a rear-wheel drive sportscar, with the bonus of having an effective grip and traction on all four wheels.

The standard transmission is likely to be the same M-dual-clutch transmission as the current F10 M5. Sources say this new M5 might still offer the manual gearbox for the American market.

LAUNCH DATE
When will it be presented? If we consider that the new BMW 5 Series will be presented early next year, we expect the new BMW M5 to debut in the second half of 2017.

I think you could be right.

A carbon roof would be a first for the M5. I like the idea. And Ali might even be right, the shape of that roof reminds me of the M4 or M6.

He is right. I seen one today. It makes sense that underneath the Carbon roof panel the rib-structure like the M3/M4 and the 7er is CFRP. No Sunroof however if you go CFRP?

OMG That is amazing guys
This is a very big step from bmw to make the carbon roof for m5.and for the first time its mean there is too much we will see and knows later
And next time show what ever u see scott

 

[Betty Swollocks]

I would have been amazed if the F90 M5 didn't have a CFRP roof. The F80 M3 has one after all.

 

[klier]

And next time show what ever u see scott

Don't get your hopes up, he has NEVER done that. Not once, no sneak preview or anything.

Yes but a Carbon roof has been with the M3 in some form or another for many years, while no M5 ever had one..

 

[Ali8Asad]

We dont care about the past and what they have done for any m version.
We care about how will be the m5 with this carbon roof and maybe the side m mirror
Thats mean the car will be more sporty ever.

 

[Betty Swollocks]

No, it's been on COUPES in some form or another for many years. When the E63 M6 had a CFRP the E60 M5 didn't. When the E92 M3 had a CFRP, the E90 M3 didn't.

With the addition of a CFRP roof to the F80 M3 then it's logical to assume that the CFRP roof will also be a feature of the F90 M5.

25 Jahre M5 "CSL" had a Carbon Fibre roof... just a shame they never sold it!

And the Turbo charged V10 that was considered for the F10.
