Launched today, the new BMW M5 Competition will be available at all BMW dealerships across India as a Completely Built-Up (CBU) model from today onwards. Priced at INR 1,54,90,000 (Ex-showroom), the new BMW M5 Competition is powered by the M TwinPower Turbo 8-cylinder petrol engine which cranks out 625 hp at 6000 rpm and peak torque of 750 Nm. The boost in performance pushes the new BMW M5 Competition from 0 to 100 km/hr in just 3.3 seconds. The motor is paired with an 8-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic features extremely short shifting timings and numerous shifting options from very athletic and dynamic to comfortable and fuel-efficient. The gears can also be shifted manually with the gear lever or via gearshift paddles on the steering wheel.
The BMW M5 Competition comes fitted with the M Exhaust system comes with an innovative flap concept. The electrically controlled flaps positioned just before the rear silencer, minimise exhaust backpressure for optimised efficiency and create a distinct sound across the entire rev range. Power is sent to the wheels by the M xDrive drivetrain system which combines standard rear-wheel drive with traction-enhancing benefits of an all-wheel-drive system. The driver can choose from different configurations based on combinations of DSC modes (DSC on, MDM, DSC off) and M xDrive modes (4WD, 4WD Sport, 2WD). The configurations allow the drive system to be tailored to the driver’s personal choice. Purists can opt for classical rear-wheel drive by deactivating the all-wheel-drive system.
