Under the hood is a V8 with 441 kW and 750Nm of torque. These figures fall behind the main competitor, the S63 AMG, which boasts 450kW and 850Nm from a 4l V8.
The BMW M5 is set to rival it’s main competitor, the E63 Mercedes-AMG. We can expect the M5 to be released in Australia sometime in early 2018.
