BMW M5 Fifth Generation Unveiled. Boasts BMW M V8 Engine!
BMW takes automobile engineering seriously and it shows in their latest BMW M5 fifth generation saloon. The company demoed concept M5 in April and released the details of the latest BMW M5. The car is expected to go on sale by the end of 2011. The car is the first one to take the advantage of company's BMW M V8 engine which rockets the car from 0 - 100 kmph (~62 mph) in just, hold your breath - 4.4 seconds! For the speed maniacs, the car will take you from 0 - 200 kmph in approximately 13 seconds and BMW's engineers decided to cap the max speed at 250 kmph or 305 km/h with the optional M Driver's Package. But that's not all with the new beast - the engine efficiency has been turbo charged as well.

BMW M5 Fifth Generation
The fifth generation BMW M5's engine has been developed by BMW's M division. The 4.4 liter, twin-turbocharged V8 engine delivers 412 kW/560 hp at 6,000-7,000 rpm. The max torque of 680 Nm develops at 1500 rpm. BMW claims that the efficiency of the engine has been improved by approximately 10 percent while the max torque has been improved by over 30%. The tests results indicate that the car will do 100 kilometers in about 9.9 liters of fuel. The improvement in fuel efficiency has been made possible by the auto start-stop and brake energy regeneration. The rear wheels are powered by seven-speed M double clutch Drivelogic transmission. Car's agility has been greatly improved by electronically controlled rear axle Active M Differential.
The steering wheel has M Drive Buttons to control the two car setup configurations. These configurations include Drivelogic shift program, M Servotronic responses, accelerator responses, DSC mode, Dynamic Damper Control. BMW M5 will make a debut at Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
