The Bavarians have our attention with the new 2018 BMW M5, transforming an already top drawer luxury-sport sedan… into an ultra-high performance one as well.

Now, the M5 series has been sending our hearts racing since 1984. Over the years the cylinder count grew from 6 to 10 and back to 8… but BMW kept adding power.

Now in its 6th generation, its 600 H-P from the 4.4-liter M TwinPower Turbo V8, for instant throttle response at any speed. A new 8-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic upshifts so quickly lightning would have a hard time keeping up. First time M xDrive sends that power to all four wheels.

The specially tuned chassis and M-specific Variable Damper Control keeps the M5 feeling athletic… even in the most compliant setting. On the road and track it’s nimble, compelling and always firmly planted.

The impressive 2018 BMW M5 is on sale now starting at just over $100,000.
