The new V10 engine in the BMW M5: A masterpiece in engine construction.
(Long version)
The heart of every BMW is its powerful engine. It is more than obvious that this particularly applies to the models made by BMW M GmbH. This description alone, however, would not do justice to the new engine in the M5: modestly put, this ten-cylinder power unit is a milestone in modern engine construction. It is one of the most fascinating engines the world over ever to be used in a series-production vehicle.
Some automobile aficionados also attach great importance to the sound of the engine. This is also the case with the V10: this technological masterpiece is to the sports vehicle aficionado what a symphony is to the ears of music lovers. Similarities to the sound of the BMW WilliamsF1 racing engine won’t go unnoticed. The M5’s V10 engine not only has got the same number of cylinders as its Formula 1 counterpart. Both engines also have the high-revving concept in common, a principle which generates enormous forward thrust from high engine speeds and is a characteristic of all high-performance, naturally aspirated BMW M GmbH engines. All this, in conjunction with the ten cylinders, results in an orchestra-like staccato, something that is normally only heard on the race track. First high-revving V10 engine to be featured by a regular-production saloon. The new M5’s high-revving V10, which has so far been reserved for racing cars and exotic low-volume cars, is the first engine of its kind to be used in a series-production saloon. In order to do justice to the exclusivity of the M family, this high-performance power unit offers a performance which is truly impressive: it has ten cylinders, displaces five litres, produces a maximum output of 507 bhp and a maximum torque of 520 Newton metres. Engine speed peaks at 8,250 rpm – a road-going athlete par excellence. But there is more to the engine than just impressive performance data. At the slightest movement of the gas pedal, the high-revving normally aspirated engine reveals itself to be a typical sports engine. At the same time, it is perfectly suited for use in daily traffic. The M5 is a saloon for everyday use with the heart of an athlete – in other words, a roadworthy sports saloon. The M5 fully lives up to these two demands, opening up a new dimension of effortlessness. 20 years after the presentation of the first M5 marked the introduction of the segment of powerful sports saloons, this new engine once again points the way forward in this particular class.
