Speaking at the occasion, Mr. Philipp von Sahr, President, BMW Group India said, "Power delivery, torque, driving dynamics: the new BMW M5 embodies pure athleticism. Conventional rules do not apply to the new BMW M5. An independent production of BMW M GmbH, it remains faithful to the M philosophy, perfectly combining high performance with optimum everyday practicality. An uncompromising presence, a natural leader, it conquers every challenge. Whether on the open road or in the city, it is the perfect interplay of heartbeat, horsepower and exhilarating harmony."

Powering the new M5 is the same 4.4-litre M Twin Power Turbo V8 petrol engine, rated at 560bhp along with 680Nm of peak torque. The power unit comes mated to a seven-speed M dual-clutch transmission with paddle shifters, endowing the performance sedan to finish the 0-100 kmph dash in just 4.3 seconds. Its performance-to-fuel-consumption ratio is boosted through Intelligent Lightweight Construction, Automatic Start/Stop function, Brake Energy Regeneration, Electric Power Steering, 50:50 Weight Distribution and other tech.

On the safety front, the sedan comes equipped with air bags, Active M Differential, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) including M Dynamic mode, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Brake Assist, Active Protection with Attentiveness Assistant and Active headrests (front).

BMW is offering the new M5 in Alpine White as non-metallic paintwork and in seven metallic paintworks including Black Sapphire, Imperial Blue Brilliant Effect, Monte Carlo Blue, Sakhir Orange, Silverstone, Singapore Grey and Space Grey.
