BMW M5 – details in camouflage

18 May 2017

BMW published some pictures and some data M5 of new generation

So the public is not cooled down interest in the product, it must from time to time to remind. Therefore, the Bavarians have posted a few photos of the new BMW M5, backed by their information about the technical features of the new generation of the "charged five".

 

Anything to say about the exterior is hard, because he is in camouflage. You can allocate only head optics with the brand "angel eyes" a new generation. Also striking is the shape of the front bumper, though he is disguised, and in some part you can see.

 

The most interesting from a technical point of view, this "polnoprivodnyj" upcoming models. Growing power plant makes impossible the full realization of torque through only one pair of wheels. Because of the BMW M5 next generation will be with all driving wheels. Many advocates of "klassicheskogo" rear-wheel drive may not outright rebel de, turbochargers we have forgiven, but all-wheel drive – this is too much!

Here we should pay tribute to the Bavarian concern, which provided for this possibility, because the engineers had laid in the settings of the powertrain exclusively rear-wheel drive mode. That is, in normal operation, the M5 will remain committed to rear-wheel drive and only in emergency situations to "transfer" part of the torque to the front axle through the gearbox with a new multi-plate clutch.

If we talk about powertrain, then it is necessary to clarify that the new BMW M5 will be equipped with 8-step "automatic" Steptronic Drivelogic M c. According to representatives of the company, the modified box is now switched softly and quickly. As before, the driver will have the choice of three operation modes of the automatic transmission. In addition, the car equipped with proprietary rear differential with electronic control.

Torque between the rear wheels, thanks to the M differential, can be distributed from 0 to 100%, which predicts superior handling when cornering.

Under the hood of the new BMW M5 will be installed the 4.4-liter engine with twin turbo. In fact, the same V8, just highly upgraded. On internal combustion engines have increased injection pressure of the fuel, installed new turbochargers, improved performance of the lubrication system and cooling system, plus a modified exhaust system. Declare that the power and torque of unit is the new "emka" will be higher than its predecessor.

When the engine is started, the car by default, all-wheel drive. When you activate the M Dynamic Mode (MDM), the car remains the same all-wheel drive, but with a focus on the rear axle. If you press the DSC button, which is located on the console and hold until complete deactivation of the system, it will be able to select one of three modes of transmission: 4WD, Sport 4WD and 2WD.

4WD is the optimal mode distribution and sale of engine torque between the wheels.

4WD Sport – mode, which is required to a greater extent to "attack" the turns on the track.

2WD – what like all the BMW M5. Exclusively rear-wheel drive with the possibility of drift and subsequent early replacement "rubber".

To emphasise the sporty spirit of the new M5, it kept programmable buttons M1 and M2, which can be given custom settings car electronics.

The current M5 weighs 1945 kg in running order. The Bavarians say that the new generation BMW M5 will be easier due to wider use of CFRP and high-strength steels. In addition, the Germans claim the reduced fuel consumption to 10.5 l/100 km (combined cycle), and with it reduce emissions of CO2.

 

You must have patience and wait for the official premiere of the new generation BMW M5, which, according to rumors, will be held this fall. We expect an interesting fight between two powerful sedans, because the "m" wrote in competitors the Mercedes-AMG E 63 S 4Matic+.
