We were really surprised in mid -February when photographers discovered M5 cars assembled. After all, the preliminary model appeared just a few months after the start of the delivery operations of the super sediment. But it begins to consider when you think that series 5 itself is due to a plastic surgery. BMW appears to be keen to inject some design inspired by Neue Klasse into G90 Topper.
It will be a relatively early update for the Seventh M5 Army, with the production of the LCI motivation (LCI) that is said to start in March 2027. The collection can also be expanded when the camouflage starts or after a short period. According to BMW from reliable interior Pimor Post Forums, LCI will bring the second alternative to the sedan. The practical G99 Touring is also expected to get the same treatment.
The competition model is likely to be outside the table, as the CEO of BMW M Frank Van Mile has already explained that “competition” is now the basic offer. The current M5 is actually the competition model, even without the emblem. The most logical bet is the version of competition (CS). It would follow the applicable pattern, with the M3 and M4 already gets CS variables. The M5 CS will be a new logical continuation of the CS Ltd. that is operating a lot of the F90 generation.
If the M5 CS is on the way, it may address some criticisms surrounding the G90 weight. The previous CS threw about 70 kg (154 pounds), but perhaps this sharp reduction should not be expected this time. The most modern M3 CS decreased only about 20 kg (44 lbs) on the equivalent XDrive model. However, the melting of some fats should positively affect performance. The additional hybrid component added about 400 kg (882 pounds) and remains, so do not expect BMW miracles.
BMW may also order out. The standard M5 already provides 717 hp, but the same electric V8 makes 738 hp in the XM sticker. Both produce 738 pounds (1000 nm) of torque, which may be the ceiling. According to the MS Operandi how to improve the structure and suspension improvements aimed at more severe dynamics, most likely at the expense of some comfort.
Of course, BMW can always be surprised by something other than CS. The M section has alluded to limited -range versions, although a few badges carry CS weight. However, we will not say no to CSL M5, especially given the presence of one as an initial model during the E60 era.
