BMW has launched the all-new M5 performance sedan in the country, with prices starting at Rs. 1.99 crore (ex-showroom).
The 2025 M5 comes with updated exterior design, a powerful engine, and more sporty aesthetics, retaining the V8 engine. This is the first time that the M5 features an electrified powertrain.
2025 BMW M5: Exterior
The design of the BMW M5 is similar to the regular 5-Series sedan in India, featuring adaptive LED headlamps, a signature kidney grille with illumination finished in glossy black, chunky wheel arches, blacked-out ORVMs, and flush-fitting door handles.
The new M5’s side profile has a new look. BMW says all body panels, including the front and rear wheel arches, have been redesigned. The new M5 comes with a carbon fiber roof, reducing the weight by 30 kg compared to the model that features a panoramic sunroof. The carbon roof helps lower the car’s center of gravity. Other highlights of the new M5 include an M rear spoiler, twin exhaust pipes, and 20-inch lightweight alloy wheels.
At the rear, the LED taillights are similar to the regular 5-Series. The M5 comes with quad-exhaust pipes with diffusers for better airflow. There are sharp cuts and creases enhancing the character of the sedan.

Additional features include ambient lighting, four-zone climate control, a premium Bowers & Wilkins sound system, and a wireless charging pad.
