The 2025 BMW M5 has officially launched in India, redefining the luxury performance sedan segment with its cutting-edge hybrid powertrain, aggressive design, and premium features. Priced at ₹1.99 crore (ex-showroom), this seventh-generation BMW M5 arrives as a completely built-up unit (CBU) and is available in a single, fully loaded Competition variant. With a bold new look, advanced technology, and electrified performance, the 2025 M5 blends racetrack-ready dynamics with everyday practicality, making it a top choice for car enthusiasts and luxury buyers in India.
Design and Exterior: Bold and Aggressive
The 2025 BMW M5 boasts a striking design that sets it apart from the standard 5 Series. Its aggressive stance is accentuated by a wider body—76 mm broader at the front and 48 mm at the rear—paired with flared wheel arches and a semi-enclosed kidney grille with glossy black accents and illuminated surroundings. The front bumper is redesigned for enhanced ventilation, while the rear features quad exhaust tips and an integrated diffuser, emphasizing its sporty appeal. The sedan rides on 20-inch front and 21-inch rear M light alloy wheels wrapped in high-performance tires, ensuring superior grip and a commanding road presence.
Available in a range of colors, including Alpine White, Marina Bay Blue, Isle of Man Green, and Carbon Black, the M5 also offers BMW Individual paint options for personalized style. The optional M Carbon Exterior Package adds lightweight carbon fiber elements like the roof and rear spoiler, enhancing both aesthetics and performance.
Hybrid Powertrain: Unmatched Performance
At the heart of the 2025 BMW M5 lies a plug-in hybrid powertrain, combining a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with an electric motor. The V8 delivers 577 bhp and 750 Nm of torque, while the electric motor adds 197 bhp and 280 Nm, resulting in a combined output of 717 bhp and 1,000 Nm of torque. Paired with an 8-speed M Steptronic transmission and a rear-biased M xDrive all-wheel-drive system, the M5 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds and achieves a top speed of 250 km/h (or 305 km/h with the optional M Driver’s Package).
The 18.6 kWh battery pack enables an electric-only range of 67-69 km (WLTP) at speeds up to 140 km/h, making it ideal for short commutes with zero-emission driving. The battery supports charging at up to 7.4 kW, ensuring quick top-ups. Despite the hybrid system adding 500 kg (total weight: 2,435 kg), the reinforced chassis with strut tower bracing and adaptive M suspension ensures precise handling and comfort.
