What Makes the 2025 BMW M5 So Insanely FAST?

The 2025 BMW M5 formula has stayed consistent over its many generations: it's the hottest version of the 5-series sedan, packing extra firepower and an upgraded chassis plus a meaner-looking body meant to communicate its performance potential.

The new 2025 M5 is now exclusively available as a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) with a V-8 engine and an electric motor. The new gas-electric setup may be controversial to hardcore M5 aficionados, but the numbers speak for themselves: 717 horsepower and a claimed top speed of up to 190 mph, plus an estimated electric driving range of 25 miles on a full charge.

The 2025 BMW M5's new plug-in-hybrid powertrain combines a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 engine with an electric motor and an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The M5 remains focused on its sports-sedan mission thanks to all manner of performance-enhancing features, including adaptive dampers, available carbon-ceramic brakes, and a wide range of drive modes that take this four-door from mild to wild at the press of a button.

The M5 sedan is redesigned for 2025 and is now available only as a plug-in hybrid. It is based on the latest 5-series, and it will spawn a wagon variant called the M5 Touring.

Carbon-ceramic brakes will be optional, as will the M Drive Professional package that adds additional drive modes. BMW will also offer an M Driver's package that increases the claimed top speed from 155 mph to 190 mph.
