When it comes to bmw M5, I believe that many readers who have learned about car information online know that this is a good car with rave reviews online and second-hand offline but "no one wants", and it is most appropriate to describe it with applause or not. Of course, the joke is a joke, in the luxury brand high-performance C-class car options, BMW M5 will indeed be a rare choice.
It's time for a replacement
Small hands, the M5 under the G series chassis code name, it seems that it has been nearly 5 years since its birth in 2017. According to the replacement cycle of a car and the research and development time, it is also time to replace. Combined with the spy photos taken by foreign media and the renderings produced by netizens, to give you an analysis of the relevant content of the new generation of M5 in advance.
The XM concept is the same as the plug-in
Of course, talking about M5 can not start from the appearance of the conventional, and the power performance is its focus. It is reported that unlike the pure fuel 4.4T V8 twin-turbo power system used in the current M5, the new generation of M5 will use the same 4.4T V8 twin-turbo engine and motor on the BMW XM concept car. Doesn't it sound like just adding a motor?
We don't know whether the technical principles behind the progress or improvement are unknown, but the most obvious is the change in the dynamic data. The current M5 is capable of producing 600 hp and 750 Nm, while the new generation of the M5 is expected to produce 750 hp and 1000 Nm. Don't underestimate the 150 hp, 250 Nm lift, which is terrible for an already overpowered car.
In terms of drivetrain, it is expected that the 8AT automatic transmission provided by ZF, which we are familiar with, will continue to be equipped with the M xDrive intelligent four-wheel drive system with rear-drive drift mode. There are not many surprises in the gearbox, BMW with ZF has never disappointed; and the role of the M xDrive system? Just take a look at the GIF below and you'll see.
Fortunately, I didn't learn badly from the 7 departments
When the spy photos and renderings of the new generation of the 7 series flowed out, many people had already worried: will the future 5 series and 3 series also learn to use split headlights? The answer is no, at least not in the current spy image of the new generation M5. Fortunately, BMW did not use split headlights on models such as the all-new 5 Series.

The author also did a search, roughly collected some of the current renderings of the new generation of M5. With the exception of Figure 1, the rest basically maintains the design of today's double kidney grille. Interestingly, judging from the feedback of foreign netizens, it seems that it will be more inclined to feel that the last one has the highest degree of authenticity, what do you think?
Let's turn our attention back to the spy map. The size of the double kidney grille has indeed been increased, but overall it is still within the acceptable range, at least it does not continue the large mouth design on today's current M3/M4. The opening at the lower bumper is obviously treated differently, and the size and area of the opening are worthy of what a performance car should have.
Coming to the side of the body, the front and rear thrown fenders and the lower body posture are proof of its M5 identity, and the ordinary 5 Series will not have such a design. The blackened five pairs of concave large-size wheels with a competitive brake system are very "modified cars", and the charging ports of the front fenders and the "electric test car" stickers on the front door are inserted into the mixed hammer!
From the tail point of view, the details that can be known at present are not too much, but there seems to be a through-line design between the two side tail light groups, and it is not certain whether the through-type tail light will be used. In addition, the details of the exhaust system and the small duckling wings on the tail box are not too much to expand, and I believe you are all tired of seeing it.
Smart people buy M5 buy second-hand?
After a brief look at the design of the new generation M5, let's talk about the cash model. At the beginning of the article, we have ridiculed: the status of the current M5 that is highly praised online and no one wants offline second-hand. In order to reflect this stem on the Internet today, I also curiously opened the second-hand car website, looked at the market of today's second-hand M5, and found that it was still "really unusual".
The one-year-old quasi-new M5 will be roughly priced at about 1.3 million yuan, and the M5 with a three-year age will be about 1.1 million yuan. Compared with the current official guidance price of 1.4389 million yuan, in fact, there is nothing wrong with the price. But after consulting some familiar second-hand car dealer friends, they have said that the M5 will be much more difficult to sell than models such as M3/M4.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand, M5 is not in the same order of magnitude as M3/M4 on new car sales alone, so it is natural that used cars are difficult to sell. It's just that compared to the RS 6, the king of topics in today's luxury brand high-performance C-class cars, the popularity of the M5 is still slightly lower, and to a certain extent, it has created what we call the stem.
Write at the end
Finally, let's evaluate the new generation of M5 on the existing information: plugging and mixing is a trend, performance improvement is also a fact, but I hope that the fun will not be reduced; design is a trend, maintaining tradition is worthy of praise, but I hope that the final product will not disappoint BMW fans. Oh yes, at least the V8 is still there, the displacement is not small, in this era of this trend, BMW's persistence is still respectable.
