BMW’s M cars can be said to be the ultimate embodiment of BMW’s design philosophy. Each generation of BMW M5 demonstrates BMW’s most advanced and cutting-edge design concepts. At the same time, it also represents the highest technology. level, excellent control, and strong power. In other words, if BMW represents a driver's dream, then BMW M is the dream of desire.
The earliest generation of BMW M series was produced in 1982. At that time, BMW manufactured the first generation of high-performance BMW 5 Series, which used a 3.6-liter inline 6-cylinder engine with 284 horsepower. Later, the M3 was launched based on this. It inherited the glorious tradition of BMW M sports cars. It was well received after its debut, winning reputation and market for BMW M. Subsequently, the m5 sports car was developed based on the BMW 5 Series four-door sedan. The sedan has become the industry standard for sports sedans of this level. At this point, the 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 new BMW M5. The BMW M5 in the pictures is being tested on ice and snow roads. This is the mid-term facelift model of the BMW M5, which will be launched later this year. Released together with the mid-term facelift of the BMW 5 Series.
Judging 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 has disappeared, and there is no longer a pig nose! Now, it has been replaced with a new style of LED headlights. It no longer uses BMW's iconic angel eye LED daytime running lights, but double L-shaped car belts, using a semi-surrounding fold line shape. The overall layout is somewhat similar to the facelifted 7 Series. Like, but with sharper lines than the 7 Series. It can be said that the mid-term facelift of the BMW M5 officially bids farewell to BMW's iconic angel eye headlights.
On the side, there is not much change, it is almost the same as the current one. It's just that the wheels adopt a new style, and yellow brake calipers are also installed, making the overall sports performance more prominent. The rear of the car still retains the dual-exhaust form, but it is expected to use newly designed taillights.
In terms of power, there is currently no information about adjustments. After all, it is only a mid-term minor facelift, and the main adjustments are still focused on appearance. We speculate that it will continue to be equipped with the 4.4T twin-turbocharged V8 engine of the current BMW M5, with a maximum output of 626 horsepower, a peak torque of 750 Nm, and an acceleration of 0 to 100 kilometers in 3.4 seconds; the transmission system is composed of an 8-speed M? Steptronic gearbox and The M?xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive system is completed.
In 2006, after BMW introduced its M series to the Chinese market, the BMW M5 was regarded as the first high-performance luxury car officially introduced in China. This time of replacement, in the words of a netizen: "BMW The more it changes, the better it looks, while the Mercedes-Benz looks worse and worse." Although the iconic angel eyes have been cancelled, after using angel eyes for so many years, aesthetics will always get tired one day. There is a saying that if you can't break it, you can't stand it. I think it's good to make appropriate adjustments.
