2023 BMW M5: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2023 BMW M5 is mostly a carryover, with the limited-production CS dropped from the lineup. The regular M5’s powertrain, styling, safety equipment, and cabin tech are unchanged.
About the 2023 BMW M5
F90 M5, sixth generation, final U.S. model year after the 2021 facelift and before the all-new seventh-generation plug-in-hybrid M5 arrived for 2025.
BMW positions the M5 as a four-door performance sedan that delivers supercar pace without giving up day-to-day usefulness. The appeal is its mix of explosive acceleration, all-weather traction, a roomy cabin for four or five people, and the ability to shift from comfortable commuting to much sharper performance settings. Compared with rivals, the M5’s core identity is a fast executive sedan that still feels like a serious M car rather than just a luxury sedan with a big engine.
For 2023, BMW positions the M5 as a high-performance four-door that balances serious speed with everyday comfort and usable rear-seat space. Its 600-hp twin-turbo V8, all-wheel drive, adaptive suspension, and 12.3-inch touchscreen are joined by comfort features such as heated front seats and four-zone climate control.

“I have not put many miles on the car yet but I feel this vehicle may be the best one of all - everything considered. I am 80 years old and during my life have owned over 100 cars for use by my family.”
“The M5 Competition can be the perfect family hauler yet be an outright weapon on track. The perfect balance and the one car that simply does everything well.”
