2024 BMW M5 Exteriors and Interiors
Based on a statement made by DomagojDukec in an interview, it can be anticipated that the kidney grille of the G90M5 will be similar to that of what the manufacturer has opted for in the i5M60. However, the front end of the new sedan will be more assertive and the fenders will be more pronounced. The car will also house quad exhaust pipes and M mirrors that make it look all the more aggressive.

On the inside, the car draws its inspiration from the manufacturer’s 5 series launched recently. There will be minimal physical buttons, a huge curved display powered by iDrive 8.5 and a toggle shifter that takes the place of the standard M shifter. The three-spoke steering wheel will have a flat bottom as well as a skeletonized bottom spoke that gives the cabin a stylish and sporty touch. The plug-in hybrid variant of the M5 will have the steering wheel of the BMW 760i M Sport.
BMW M5 Engine Specifications
The upcoming 2024 BMW M5 will be powered by a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine along with an electric motor. Both the M5 models will incorporate an all-wheel drive along with the xDrive system and the eight-speed M Steptronic transmission.
The BMW M5 is expected to deliver close to 718 HP and 590 lb-ft. torque output. If so, this will be the fastest M5 model from the manufacturer. The electric motor is slated to contribute around 90 kW to 100 kW of the output power.

When will the BMW M5 be released?
Production of the G95 sedan model will commence first in July this year. The G99M5 Touring production-related activities will begin a few months later in November 2024. While both cars will mark their arrival in the United States, they will be acknowledged as 2025 models in this market. In the European market, they will be considered as 2024 models.
