The earliest generation of BMW M series was produced in 1982. At that time, BMW made the first generation of high-performance BMW 5 Series, with a 3.6-liter inline 6-cylinder engine and 284 horsepower. On this basis, M3 was introduced, which inherited the glorious tradition of BMW M sports car. After its appearance, it was widely praised and won the reputation and market for BMW M. Subsequently, the m5 sports car developed on the basis of the BMW 5 Series four-door sedan became the industry standard of this class sports car. At this point, BMW M series models have become the dream of car performance pursuers.
Recently, overseas media exposed a set of low camouflage spy photos of the brand-new BMW M5. The BMW M5 in the picture is being tested on the ice and snow road. This is the mid-term modified model of BMW M5, which will be released in the middle of the same period as BMW 5 Series this year.
From the spy photos, although the overall outline of the new M5 has not changed much, the overall style is much sharper than before. First of all, the oversized air intake grille is gone, and there is no more pig nose! At present, brand-new LED headlights have been replaced, and BMW's iconic angel eye LED daytime running lights are no longer used, but double L-shaped belts are adopted. The overall layout is somewhat similar to that of the redesigned 7 Series, but the lines are sharper than that of the 7 Series. It can be said that the medium-term redesigned BMW M5 officially bid farewell to BMW's iconic angel eye headlights.
On the side, there is not much change, just like cash. It's just that the hub has adopted a new style and replaced the yellow brake calipers, so the overall sports performance is more prominent. The rear of the car still retains the exhaust form of bilateral double outlet, but it is expected that the newly designed taillights will be adopted.
In terms of power, there is no information about adjustment at present. After all, it is only a small change in the medium term, and the main adjustment is still focused on the appearance. We speculate that it will continue to be equipped with the 4.4T twin-turbo V8 engine of the current BMW M5, with a maximum output of 626 HP, a peak torque of 750 Nm and an acceleration of 3.4 seconds per 100 km. The transmission system consists of 8-speed m? Steptronic gearbox and m? XDrive intelligent all-wheel drive system is completed.
In 2006, after BMW introduced its M series to China market, BMW M5 officially became the first high-performance luxury car in China. This time, in the words of a netizen, "the more BMW changes, the better it looks, and the more Mercedes-Benz changes, the worse it looks." Although the iconic angel eye has been cancelled, it has been used for so many years, and there will always be a day of aesthetic fatigue. There is a saying that it can't be broken, just adjust it appropriately.
