The new BMW M5 to debut at the IAA in the autumn. Now, auto motor und sport had opportunity to feel the new comprehensive on the Biturbo tooth top 5 in the winter tests in Sweden.
Just the idea might raise with cast-iron M disciples panic attacks: leg new BMW M5 the focus should be placed primarily on efficiency and comfort. So, BMW promises a significantly reduced carbon dioxide emissions, as well as significantly more comfort for the top five in the autumn. That's probably race taxi, adieu slope Yahoo?Of because. Even if BMW get currently no data for the M5, a look at the technology can breathe easier the prototypes currently undergoing their cold environmental trials in the Swedish Arjeplog in the Arctic Circle: Sun is a turbo-charged 4, 4-liter V8 used although instead of the high rotating v10 with 507 PS, but which is already in the M versions of X 5 and X 6 555 HP. And in the BMW M5 is there even a cream dot extra, 560 PS is considered to be likely. Still abundant, it turns out the increase in torque. Instead of the current 520 NM, BMW may hope M5 fans to 680 to 700 nm. Thus, the Sprint speed 100 only or 4.5 instead of 4.7 seconds to take.
Actually, the pre-production BMW inspired M5er in his first ride with brachialem start. Other than the previous variant of suction only beyond reached its torque peak of 6,000 rpm, the bi-turbo engine in the BMW settles M5 already just above idling speed in the stuff. Thanks to a lot of fine work on the turbo chargers is the V8 in addition once again more closely on the gas as in the X models - but without get on the cutting zuschnappenden v10 five litre from its predecessor.
To convert the power not only in smoke and rubberized asphalt, M5 provides in the BMW a new axle lock for greater traction. Keeping the previously used Viskokupplung to the differential, enter in action before spinning a wheel. As soon as the accelerator pedal position Announces early thrust, a regulatory mechanism is built as a precaution on lock effect.
This not only ensures powerful sprints out of the starting, thanks to ansatzlosem power application, can be surprisingly easy to control the 4, 90 M sedan in the acceleration of tight corners. All-wheel drive M5 was not an issue for weight reasons in the new BMW. By Langenwachstum and stricter safety regulations, it will become already-heavy than its predecessor.
This BMW has made for the M5 gearbox: instead of acting quickly, but also gruff SMG box a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission comes as the M3 used. Stay was however allowed to the see-saw on the center console, which adjust up the switching times of ultra-smart to supple and eroded. After similar pattern ESP mode, suspension hardness and assisted of the steering can be adjusted on separate buttons left of the gear dial lever accelerator pedal curve, separately.
In the Arctic Sweden with its partly icy slopes, in particular the M dynamic mode for the PSE, with even an average impressive drifts succeed talented pilots, without having to give up on the help of electronic Sprungtuchs impressed the M5.
But how was this now with the comfort? Thanks to larger spread for the Adaptive damper suspension of BMW meets M5 finally its name. This shocks in position take comfort at higher rate even common Frostaufbruchen the horrors and provide comparatively binding rolling motion. Mode sport plus is still every little detail about the State of the road passed, so, BMW recommends it only for use on race tracks.
Cast-iron BMW M5 fans will have their fun so still also transverse dynamic. And a better environmental conscience: you start stop system and much fine tuning of engine and transmission to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by at least 25 percent. In view of the 351 G / km of its predecessor, an ECE consumption of about eleven gallons would mean this converted. By the way the range of less tank stops this higher forces. Also should enjoy the cast iron-M5 group.
