While the performance of the seventh-generation 5 Series will be plenty for some, the promise of the M division’s insane 2018 BMW M5 have made some hold out. Those who have won’t be disappointed. Now offering 600 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque, the M5 isn’t just more powerful than ever, but a driving experience that more can get behind.
We say that as if a 600-hp super sedan that hits sixty in a scant 3.2 seconds isn’t an acquired taste. But for those who have such a palette, the 2018 M5 will be a feast—even if its standard AWD system may make some enthusiasts hesitate. Don’t worry, though. Three driving modes are present to step down, and erase front-wheel involvement. On the inside, drivers familiar with the latest 530i and 540i will recognize most of the fittings, although the M Division has added its unique flairs. The same can be said for its suspension and brakes, which are tuned for its mission, and hardier than on the premium 5 Series.
Arriving next year, you have plenty of time to settle on your configuration for the upcoming M5. With everything from suspension, steering, and brake additions, there’s a lot to take in. Don’t worry, though, our BMW dealership in Seaside, CA can help. Contact us at your convenience.
