The next-generation BMW M5 will be both very powerful and very heavy, reports Carscoops. However, it will not have such a powerful power plant to surpass the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 SE Performance.

According to the latest reports, the new BMW M5 will receive the same basic hybrid powertrain as the XM, consisting of a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine and an electric motor. In the standard XM, this setup is rated at 644 hp. and 800 Nm, and in XM Label Red these figures increase to 738 hp. and 1000 Nm. The M5's performance is expected to fall between the two XM models, delivering a combined output of 718 hp. and 1030 Nm of torque.

The new BMW M5 will have a battery capacity of 18.6 kWh, which is smaller than the XM's 25.7 kWh. The 2025 M5 is expected to increase in size and be 36mm longer and 70mm wider than the outgoing model. It's important to note that the next generation of the iconic super sedan will reportedly weigh 2,435 kg. At the same time, the AMG GT 63 SE Performance also weighs about 2.4 tons, but offers more power: 831 hp. and 1400 Nm.

The M5 will differ from other 5 Series models with redesigned front and rear ends, improved brakes and wheels, four exhaust pipes, a spoiler and other details.
