3 Favorite Features of the 2025 BMW M5

The all-new 2025 BMW M5 arrives bearing the weight of high expectations. With a legacy built on performance and presence, the pressure to deliver was immense. And deliver it does, thanks to the following features.

3 Favorite Features of the 2025 BMW M5

Hybrid Powertrain

Nearly every generation of the M5 has brought with it a new engine that’s louder, faster, and more terrifying than the last. And the new one? Well, it’s different: it’s hybrid. Under the hood, there’s still a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 belting out 577 horsepower. But now, it’s joined by an electric motor that can drive the car on its own for 25 miles. That motor makes 194 horses. Combined, you get 717 horsepower and 738 lb.-ft of torque.

That power is routed through an eight-speed gearbox and M xDrive all-wheel drive system, which means it can catapult itself from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds. It’s got an elastic torque band (all 738 lb-ft of torque are available from 1800 to 5400 rpm), so its in-gear acceleration is outrageous. 50 to 70 mph in fifth takes 2.9 seconds, and if you’re feeling brave enough to drop to fourth, it’ll do it in 2.2 seconds.

Unmistakable Styling

There’s no mistaking this for anything apart from an M car. Some of that is down to its sheer size, but most of it is the details. Up front, the newly designed gloss-black M grille features subtle ‘Iconic Glow’ LEDs, so people can spot your BMW from a distance. Below that grille are intakes large enough to lose pets in, flanked by two smaller matte-finished air intakes.

The M-specific wheels fill the arches completely, helped along by a significantly wider track than a standard 5 Series (about 3 inches more at the front and 1.9 at the rear). Around the back, things don’t get any quieter. An M rear spoiler and integrated diffuser improve airflow, while the familiar quad tailpipes, finished in black chrome, leave no doubt about what this car is capable of.

Well-Appointed Interior

BMW didn’t call the new M5 an M7, but it could easily have. That’s how comfortable it is. You get adaptive dampers, seats with endless adjustment and built-in massage, a slim dash that flows over glossy carbon fiber, a 12.3-inch information display, a 14.9-inch control display, and an interaction display bar that glows with ambient lighting.

Sound comes from an 18-speaker Bowers and Wilkins system. Above it all, the Sky Lounge panoramic sunroof stretches nearly the full length of the car.

A driver’s car like the M5 has to be experienced behind the wheels to be appreciated. To schedule your test drive, reach out to Tom Bush BMW Jacksonville in Jacksonville, FL.
