Every BMW M5 engine in this generation is gasoline, built around turbocharged V8 power rather than small-capacity efficiency. The automatic transmission shifts quickly under hard acceleration yet stays smooth in traffic, and the all-wheel-drive drivetrain adds traction without dulling the rear-biased feel enthusiasts expect.
