2012 BMW M5 Concept photos leaked
Finally the new BMW M5 concept is released. And all of us know that this BMW new M5 study is 99 per cent production ready, therefore don’t expect to see anything different when the sports saloon make its premiere in production guise later this year, possibly at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
The new M5 is based on the latest F10 5-Series saloon and is powered by a modified version of the same twin-turbocharged V8 engine found on the X5 M and X6 M. The V8 is believed to be lighter, more powerful and greener than the 507HP 5.0-liter V10 lump it replaces. No specific numbers have been released, but rumor has it that output will be close to 600-horsepower.
At this Munich event, BMW also revealed several stillborn M projects as well as other unique one-offs such as M3 pickup.
No confirmed details have surfaced yet with these image, but the media release is expected on April 7th followed by the public debut at Auto Shanghai on April 19. Stay tuned.
