The facelifted sixth-generation BMW M5 keeps the sedan format that made the nameplate famous, pairing everyday four-door practicality with the performance hardware and chassis tuning expected from BMW's M division.
A representative example of the BMW M5 engine range is the 4.4 V8 xDrive CS, a gasoline unit driving all four wheels through an automatic transmission. This powertrain layout spreads torque across both axles, so traction stays manageable in cold or wet conditions without blunting the drivetrain's character.
BMW M5 trim levels sit on top of the technical version rather than replacing it: the 4.4 V8 xDrive CS is offered in an Exclusive configuration. Equipment packages like this typically shape upholstery, cabin materials and convenience features, while the mechanical specification stays the same.
