An uncompromising presence, a natural leader, it conquers every challenge. Whether on the open road or in the city, it is the perfect interplay of heartbeat, horsepower and exhilarating harmony.”

The new BMW M5 is available in a petrol variant at an all India ex-showroom price of INR 13,540,000.

The new M5 is powered by the M TwinPower Turbo eight-cylinder petrol engine, the most powerful of all BMW production engines. The M5 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds for the ultimate adrenalin kick, and when combined with its 560 BHP and 680Nm of torque, it simply takes your breath away. The seven-speed M dual-clutch transmission with Cruise Control provides higher shifting and driving comfort.

The new M5 provides maximum safety in any situation with air bags, Active M Differential, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) including M Dynamic mode, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Brake Assist, Active Protection with Attentiveness Assistant and Active headrests (front).
