BMW M5

BMW has given supercar fans a first look at the new BMW M5 2011/2012 F10 supersaloon that will be the brand’s star attraction at China’s Shanghai Motor Show this month. The BMW Concept M5 is being dubbed as the latest reinterpretation of the famed M5, which was the first BMW saloon car to receive the famous M treatment more than 25 years ago. Don’t be fooled by the Concept M5 tag: this pretty much IS how the production version of the new BMW M5 will look, when it is fully revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show this September. The price has not yet been revealed; the previous M5 sold for around £65,000 at the end of its life. BMW, though, hasn’t forgotten today’s need to go green, despite big expectations for huge power and performance. Thus, while this new M5 is already officially described as ‘faster’ than the outgoing BMW M5, it will also be much more fuel efficient. Much, MUCH more fuel efficient: BMW is predicting economy gains of around 25-30%, which will have a corresponding benefit on CO2 emissions, too. We expect the new BMW M5 to return not far off 25mpg – amazing results for such a potent machine.
