The 2025 BMW M5 enters a new era as a plug-in hybrid super sedan, pairing a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 with an electric motor for a combined 717 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. The new G90-generation M5 accelerates from 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds and offers approximately 25 miles of all-electric range, blending savage performance with everyday usability. Despite its increased weight from the hybrid system, adaptive M Professional suspension, M Compound brakes, and active M differential ensure the M5 retains its legendary handling prowess. Priced around $120,000, the new M5 competes with the Mercedes-AMG E 63 S and Porsche Panamera Turbo S as the ultimate expression of performance luxury in a four-door sedan.

The 2025 BMW M5 enters a new era as a plug-in hybrid, and it is both better and worse for it. The combined 717 horsepower from the twin-turbo V8 and electric motor delivers savage acceleration -- 3.4 seconds to 60 mph is supercar territory in a four-door sedan. The approximately 25 miles of electric range adds surprising daily versatility. However, the hybrid system has added significant weight, and despite adaptive suspension and active differentials, the new M5 cannot fully disguise its heft through corners the way its predecessor could. Interior is suitably appointed with the latest iDrive system. Where the M5 truly excels is in its dual personality: quiet luxury sedan on electric power, then a tire-shredding monster at full throttle. The breadth of its capability is genuinely impressive even if purists will mourn the lost lightness.
