BMW, the German automaker, today launched its most successful high-performance sedan - the new M5 - in India. Since it has come as a CBU (Completely Built-Up Unit), it is priced at Rs. 1,35,4000 (all India ex-showroom).
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."
The new M5 is available in Alpine White as non-metallic paintwork and in seven metallic paintworks: Black Sapphire, Imperial Blue Brilliant Effect, Monte Carlo Blue, Sakhir Orange, Silverstone, Singapore Grey and Space Grey.
The standard Leather Merino upholstery is available with extended contents in Black, Sakhir Orange and Silverstone colour combinations. Interior trims offered are Fine-wood Trim Ash Grain Brown and Fine-wood Trim Fineline Anthracite with highlight trim finishers Aluminium Trace.
The new BMW M5 derives its power from the M TwinPower Turbo eight-cylinder petrol engine that is capable of churning out a maximum power output of 560bhp and 680Nm of peak torque. This is the most powerful of all the BMW production engines that touches 100Km/h mark in just 4.3 seconds. Transmitting power to its wheels is a seven-speed M dual-clutch transmission. To make the drive easier, the company also offers shift paddles.
