DUBAI: In a show-stopping event, AGMC, the official BMW dealer for Dubai, Sharjah, and the Northern Emirates, has made a dramatic entrance for the new BMW M5 and M5 Touring.
At SkyDive Dubai, the M5 Touring was lowered in by helicopter, marking an unforgettable launch that perfectly reflected the high-performance and stylish nature of the new models.
BMW’s M5 lineup steps into the future with hybrid power for the first time in its 40-year history, blending extraordinary speed, luxury, and environmental responsibility. The hybrid system enhances both performance and environmental efficiency, underscoring BMW's commitment to innovation and sustainability.
Future of Performance
Dr. Hamid Haqparwar, CEO of AGMC for BMW Group brands, says the new BMW M5 and M5 Touring embody the future of driving — combining power, precision, and now sustainability. “Our customers in the UAE are ready for a vehicle that can deliver exceptional speed and performance, while also being mindful of the environment, and the new M5 lineup delivers on both fronts,” he remarked.
BMW Middle East Managing Director Karim-Christian Haririan said, “BMW has always been synonymous with innovation and Sheer Driving Pleasure, and with the reveal of the new M5 and M5 Touring in Dubai, we’re launching a new era of high-performance executive-class vehicles in the Middle East. BMW M5 and M5 Touring offer the best of both worlds — uncompromising performance with cutting-edge technology.”
Unveiling the M HYBRID System
At the heart of the new BMW M5 and M5 Touring is the groundbreaking M HYBRID system. By merging a 4.4-litre V8 engine with an electric motor, this powertrain generates an impressive 727 hp and 1,000 Nm of torque. The M5 sedan rockets from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds, with a top speed of 305 km/h when equipped with the M Driver’s Package.
The electric motor adds instant torque (450 Nm), enhancing agility and driving precision. Meanwhile, the M5 Touring matches the performance of its sedan counterpart, achieving 0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds, all while offering greater practicality and space.
Reinventing Hybrid performance
BMW has drawn on its motorsport expertise to equip both models with superior performance. The M5 and M5 Touring benefit from an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission, offering manual shift paddles and three drive modes for customized driving. BMW’s signature M xDrive all-wheel-drive system further enhances control with options for 4WD, 4WD Sport, and rear-wheel-drive modes.
Designed for both track performance and city driving, the M5 lineup ensures the perfect balance of power, handling, and comfort. Advanced chassis technology and Launch Control ensure explosive acceleration and grip for a thrilling drive.
Sculpted Design
Both the M5 and M5 Touring are as visually striking as they are powerful. Their dynamic, sculpted design includes M-specific elements like the bold front bumper, flared wheel arches, and the illuminated M grille (Iconic Glow). The aerodynamic enhancements, such as a lightweight M Carbon roof and twin exhausts, optimize performance by lowering weight and improving stability.
The M5 Touring, with its sleek, extended roofline and spacious design, merges BMW’s Touring heritage with high-performance engineering. It’s the ideal blend of practicality and style for those seeking an executive-class sports car that caters to everyday needs.
Tech-Rich Luxury and Comfort
Step inside the BMW M5 or M5 Touring, and you’ll find a luxurious, tech-driven interior. The cockpit is equipped with a new M leather steering wheel, multifunction sports seats, and a Curved Display providing driver-focused, M-specific data. The latest BMW iDrive system with augmented reality navigation and a Head-Up Display ensures seamless control and connectivity.
Passengers are treated to high-end comfort, including Merino leather upholstery, four-zone climate control, ambient lighting, and an immersive Bowers & Wilkins sound system. The M5 Touring adds extra utility, offering up to 1,630 litres of cargo space for long trips or everyday use.
When Technology and Safety Redefine Driving
BMW M5 models come equipped with state-of-the-art safety and driver-assistance technologies, including Lane Departure Warning, Collision Warning, and Parking Assistant. Buyers can also opt for the Driving Assistant Professional package, which provides near-autonomous driving on highways.
Parking becomes a breeze with Parking Assistant Professional, allowing the M5 to be parked remotely via smartphone control — perfect for navigating tight urban spaces in Dubai.
