Depart arriving at the new BMW M5, the sportiest executive saloon in the world. 4.4 Turbo V8 engine 600 hp, traction 4×4 and 4×2 M xDrive … Awesome.

If yesterday were released some early photos by "neglect" following a video posted on a Chinese website, today is the BMW itself that formalizes with images Y data technical the arrival of what will be the 6th generation M5. It will be officially presented at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show and will certainly be one of the stars. Again, mechanical and rack raise the dynamic and sporty potential M5 at unbelievable levels, but what is surprising is the adoption of a comprehensive transmission that promises to balance their behavior. Yes, a M "integral" (Apart from the X5 and X6), but 2WD mode through the rear wheels, for those who are left over from expertise and experience behind the wheel driving explore pure.

BMW M5 2018: 4.4 Twin Turbo V8 engine 600 hp

It has remained the boque 4.4 Turbo V8 (A turbo per bank), but has been thoroughly revised. all turbocharging system is newly developed. The injection pressure has risen to 350 bar. This allows shorter injection and better fuel atomization to achieve a sharper engine response and a more efficient mixture formation. Also have improved systems lubrication and cooling. It has included an oil pan with a small front tank and a refrigeration system by indirect charging air, which is more effective than the previous M5, although occupying less space. The oil pump is electronically controlled to vary the flow rate and has taken into account the possible use of M5 in circuit, where they can generate very high levels of longitudinal and lateral acceleration.

There have also been changes to the exhaust manifolds, in order to optimize the transmission of energy from the exhaust gas flow to the turbine blades of the two turbochargers, ensuring the best possible exchange cycle gas. It has been installed Helmholtz resonance system between the two silencers dual exhaust system, achieving weight reduction of the entire system. He exhaust sound is controlled by fins and it varies depending on the selected driving mode (between Efficient and Sport Plus). He too M Sound Control System can attenuate acoustics 4.4 V8 Twin Turbo. All this has raised the power until the 600 CV (Formerly 560), between 5,600 and 6,700 rpm, while the maximum torque 750 Nm (Formerly 680) from only 1,800 rpm and keeps them until 5,600 rpm. Obviously the new M5 becomes the fastest in the series. From 0 to 100 km / h takes 3.4 seconds and 11.1 and wheel 200 km / h.

BMW M5: transmission Steptronic 8 velociades

This power transmitting handles the change M Steptronic torque converter 8 speed Drivelogic. announced passing times very short marches, better staggering the previous DKG 7 speed. Is new shift lever located on the center console. In addition, the M5 has their gearshift M on the steering wheel. The transmission configuration can be modified using the switch Drivelogic located on the shift lever. The mode Drivelogic 1 It corresponds to a ecodriving. He mode 2 It lends itself to fast driving Clipped with a time of change. And the way Drivelogic 3 It is optimized for sporty driving at circuit thanks to its extremely short shift. who prefer shift gears manually You can also do multiple way to the bottom available, for example when braking in tight corners. When the M5 reaches the maximum speed, no automatic changes are made. A cooling system gearbox oil ensures smooth operation and reliability under the high demand for rolling circuit.

BMW M5: M xDrive transmission

Since it was known that this 6th generation M5 would finally by the "ring" of the four-wheel drive, Much has been said about it. Perhaps the purists have been betrayed, but the BMW decision it seems necessary to balance the dynamic behavior of a sports which it is also a sedan 600 hp. However, the solution BMW It seems the best decision and should make everyone happy. The broadcast M xDrive BMW has developed expressly for the M5 offers three modes Operating: -for default- 4WD, 2WD and 4WD Sport. In addition involving a differential rear active. If the center differential distributes torque base, the back does between the rear wheels. All these configurations allow touch key one traction, agility Y stability please everyone. In any case, is a M and the default setting, the DSC stability control and four-wheel drive (4WD) activated, the new M5 It allows certain slip on the rear wheels. Passing mode 4WD Sport greater amount of torque is transferred to the rear axle and the ability of permissible wheel slip increases. The pure rear-wheel drive mode (2WD) It has been designed keeping in mind the most experienced driver who seek driving pleasure without control systems to retain him.

BMW M5: sporty sedan

Although derived from the new 5 series, the architecture of the front suspension It is completely new in the M5. They have redesigned all components forming the double front triangle, taking into account their specific features cinematics and elastocinematik. He rear multilink It has also been modified to meet the requirements of M. Similarly, both roll bars They are firmer. Another additional bar steel and transverse strut aluminum increase the stiffness of the chassis at the rear axle, which leads to a better response. Other reinforcements also help increasing torsional stiffness the front of the vehicle. The M5 features active dampers and one electric steering again adjusted to requirements M. Standard tires are: 275/40 R 19 285/40 R 19 in front and behind. And are mounted on alloy wheels with five double spokes measures 9.5 x 19 inch front and 10.5 x 19 inches behind. optionally wheels are offered twenty inches seven-spoke black or black polished tire front 275/35 R 20 285/35 R 20 and rear. All tires bearing speed symbol ZR, approved for maximum speed 305 km / h reaching the new BMW M5 with Driver package M (Serial version: 250 km / h).

The new BMW M5 It is equipped with brakes BMW M Compound, significantly lighter than conventional cast iron elements and other advantages can reduce the unsprung masses. At the front axle it has been chosen discs autoventilados Y perforated Y fixed piston calipers, blue with logo M. At the rear clamp, floating and blue, is of a single piston. BMW offer optional ceramic brakes. They are recognized by the clamps golden color with M logo (fixed piston calipers at the front, callipers single piston in the rear). In addition to its major benefits, a total savings of 23 kg It means a further reduction of the rotating masses and unsprung.
