About the 2027 BMW M5
7th-generation M5 (introduced for 2025), third model year; no 2027 refresh
BMW positions the M5 as a luxury midsize car that combines supercar-level acceleration with everyday comfort and space. Its plug-in-hybrid V8, performance-focused AWD, adjustable chassis, and upscale cabin distinguish it from ordinary sport sedans. The Sedan emphasizes commuting and track capability, while the Touring adds family- and trip-friendly cargo space without giving up the M5’s power, handling hardware, or premium equipment.
The M5 Sedan blends everyday luxury with serious performance, while the M5 Touring adds a folding rear seat and up to 57.6 cubic feet of cargo space. Both use a 717-hp plug-in-hybrid V8, adjustable AWD, adaptive suspension, rear-wheel steering, and an 18-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system. The Sedan also features a 14.9-inch touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
