BMW’s New F10 M5 will be available from 19 November and make its UK debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on 30 June - 3 July 2011. It’s the pure embodiment of ‘controlled’ performance - more powerful and efficient than its predecessor with a 552 bhp twin-turbo V8 engine featuring valvetronic and vanos. It’s a completely different engine to the similar looking engine in the X5 M - higher revving, better breathing and different turbochargers with more boost (1.5bar vs 1.2bar). Performance is blisteringly quick with 0-62mph easily accomplished in 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 189mph (with M Drivers pack). Perhaps the most astounding achievement is the CO2 emission figure of 232 g/km, which is a whopping 125 g/km better than its E60 M5 predecessor.
