New V10 Engine in Concept M5

Precisely 20 years have already passed since the BMW M5 established a new segment, which has in the meantime also been discovered by other car manufacturers. And that car – the original – is still by far the most successful player in the high performance sedan segment. Spread over three generations of production, more than 35,000 units were built – initially manually at the BMW M plant in Munich and later at the 5 Series assembly line in Dingolfing.

BMW M5 Parameters: Performance, Style and Driving Fun

Due to the change of model within the 5 Series, the BMW M product portfolio is currently presented without a BMW M5, even though the demand for such a car has never diminished. For this reason, BMW M designers have begun designing a possible successor based on the new BMW 5 Series. This car is a far-reaching concept on an appealing subject: the BMW Concept M5. Such a car could undoubtedly serve as a stimulus and offer solutions for a future series-production vehicle.

Totally in keeping with the high demands of our clientele, whose main reasons for purchasing a car are performance, style and driving fun, the BMW M5 Concept makes its living out of contrasts: the principle of optimal performance wrapped in a discreet but, by comparison with the 5 Series, distinctive body design.

V10 High-Revving Power Unit

The heart of every M automobile, and that includes the BMW Concept M5, must be its exclusive high -performance power unit with high-revving air intake technology, an engine which sets a benchmark in this field. With this engine, BMW M is presenting a masterpiece in power unit technology that undoubtedly has just what it takes: the figure 5 is predominant with a 5.0-litre capacity producing around 500 bhp (368 kW) and a maximum torque of at least 369 lb-ft, these being the kind of figures BMW M considers worthy of a possible new M5.

And the figure ten will also gain in significance, as, for the first time in BMW history, a series-production sedan is to be powered by a ten-cylinder internal combustion engine, the sound and power of which is closely related to the engine currently providing monstrous power to the BMW Williams Formula 1 racing car, without a doubt the most powerful car on the starting grid.

The engine powering the BMW Concept M5 should be in a position to mobilize the enormous power reserves required to assist this unique sports sedan in achieving a remarkable driving performance. Engineers at BMW M envisage the car accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) over the classic distance in well under 5 seconds, the 200 km/h (125 mph) mark being reached in just 13 seconds.

This is evident not only in the extremely appealing design of a BMW high performance engine. Needless to say, this specially developed BMW M engine incorporates typical features such as high-pressure VANOS, individual throttle butterflies, engine electronics designed by our own engineers and based on knowledge gained from Formula 1 racing as well as traverse force regulated oil supply.

Moreover, the BMW Concept M5 stands out from others by having the most innovative drive concept in its class. Thanks to a superior gearbox solution, the driver can benefit from a completely new 7-speed SMG, a rapid manual gearshift and, if required, comfortable cruising. This piece of technical mastery also has its origins in Formula 1 synergism.

Optimum driving behavior, whether in town or on the Nürburgring. The designers of the BMW Concept M5 were, of course, eager to succeed against competition in building the lightest car, as BMW wishes to continue pursuing the concept of intelligent lightweight construction in order to achieve a high level of longitudinal and lateral dynamics. As seen on the new 5 and 6 Series, BMW has already presented an innovative example of a lightweight front end construction. BMW M engineers aspired to achieve th e best power-to-weight ratio in this market segment, thereby fully utilizing their abundant experience in suspension design.

Based on the excellent all-aluminium suspension of the new BMW 5 Series, with the addition of some elements from the new BMW 7 Series, they have designed the BMW Concept M5 for maximum comfort when driving for longer periods on highways or in stop -and-go city traffic, as well as for putting on a good show when racing round the north loop of the Nürburgring. In addition to a specially tuned Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), a variable M-type limitedslip differential, which we are already familiar with from the BMW M3, ensures optimum driving behavior in all situations.

The 19 inch light-alloy rear wheels, manufactured especially for the BMW Concept M5, boast specially designed, extra wide 285/35 ZR 19 tires. At the front there are 255/40 ZR 19 tires on 81 inch wheels, controlled by a newly designed Servotronic steering which is fitted as standard. A reinforced braking system developed especially for the BMW Concept M5 enables the driver to fully control the engine’s exceptional performance.

When exactly the concept of a series-produced M5 will be realized cannot be confirmed at the present time. However, it can be assumed that a successor to the extremely popular BMW M5, based on the BMW Concept M5 now being exhibited, could possibly go on sale during the course of the year 2004.

really?

guess you need a ride in the E65 AMG and experience its 7G transmission thrusting this 6.0 litre Biturbo V12 monster with its 612 hp's from zero to hero in 4 seconds flat!

Or howabout just wait till august for the new E65 AMG 4matic that will propell the same car the same distance in 3.8 seconds!
Now you tell me.... is this M5 really a killer?

[BLACK X5 4.6is]

nice reallly nice i truely believe it is a killler and designo AMG's cant beat the M POWER dude...............

U say E65 V12 with twin turbo welll the M POWER dont have any turbos on them either supercharge AMG's always use either supercharge or turbos but M is POWWWWWEEEERRRRR MAAAANNNNNN

[ZOSicK]

long live the M Power :bigok:

[Silver SS]

[Striker]

:bigok: :naughty:

tha M power will never get tha AMG power they just keep makin BMW killers

even though tha brabus will kill tha m power too

wat about tha brabus E V12 640hp and does tha 0-60mph in 4.1
and tha brabus SV 12 Bi-Turbo with 640hp does a 0=60mph in 4.2

even though M power r fitting their new M beast with a W16 engine with 1000hp in2 am sure Benz r doin sumthin :bigok:

dude!

there is a reason why AMG go for FORCED INDUCTION! An M powered naturally aspirated engine in my opinion has a life span of not more than 100k kms. in our climate as it is! And try force inducing it and what do you get?

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM ! :nono:

No no my friend! I stick to my theory about AMG reliability compared to the M!

Only one man can prove me wrong , and i'm waiting for his beast to get ready! :crying:

i'm with Black SS...

C6 will be the killer...

DESIGNO: What a waste or metal??
Huh!! what a waste of money on a stupid benz!!!
