July, Manila Philippines. BMW Philippines has officially unveiled the new M5 to the delight of afficionados of the Bavarian marque.
For decades, the iconic M5 has always been the benchmark of the performance sedan and BMW has made its current iteration available on our shores. Always wanting to offer more, BMW now blends a 4.4-liter TwinPower Turbo V8 with an electric motor for a combined 727 hp putting out 1000 Nm across all 4 wheels. This M HYBRID system delivers instant throttle response and a 0-100 kph time expected under 3.5 seconds, with an all-electric range of 61-67 kilometers – the best in its class.
Standout Design
The M5’s aggressive styling sets it apart from standard 5 Series models with flared wheel arches, a sculpted front apron, and an embossed “M5” badge on the signature Hofmeister kink. The interior features an M-specific cockpit with carbon fiber trim, and BMW’s latest Curved Display running OS 8.5. Local spec is the ‘Ultimate Package” with extensive options and M upgrades included as standard.
Track-Focused Tech with Everyday Useability
The M Drive Professional package adds TRACK mode, lap timing, and performance telemetry. Drivers can customize settings via M buttons on the steering wheel. The sports exhaust provides an authentic V8 soundtrack to complement its performance-oriented attitude. BMW’s M xDrive all-wheel-drive system offers rear-biased handling, with a purist-friendly 2WD mode that disconnects the front axle. The adaptive M suspension and Integral Active Steering (rear-wheel steering) provide razor-sharp handling, while carbon-ceramic brakes (included option in the “Ultimate Package”) deliver fade-resistant stopping power.
The new M5 comes also with a full array of driver aids and standard safety features to complement its performance. All of which that add class-leading security on the road for everyday drives.
Local Market Availability
BMW Philippines is offering the M5 as a sport sedan as well as a M5 Touring variant both for the stounding price of P12,790.00 for both the sedan and the Touring versions. M fans can make their inquiries directly to BMW Philippines.
This new M5 represents BMW’s biggest leap forward in the iconic series– a technological showcase that loses none of the brand’s performance DNA while embracing electrification. With supercar-rivaling power and everyday usability, it sets a new benchmark for hybrid performance vehicles.
