THE NEW BMW M5 COULD LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS

The new BMW M5 will arrive in 2027 with revised styling and, once again, with the V8 under the hood

The current-generation BMW M5 has been around for a couple of years, putting its 717-horsepower hybrid powertrain to work. It’s a supercar disguised as a sedan (or wagon) that will receive a facelift for the 2027 model year. This won’t just be a light touch-up, though.

As seen in the spy video published on Carspotter Jeroen's YouTube channel, the new BMW M5—spotted testing at the Nürburgring—will differ substantially from the current model, adopting the brand’s new design direction seen on the latest iX3 and i3.

Neue Klasse Influence

The first change appears up front, where the new BMW M5 clearly resembles the new i3: a horizontally oriented twin-kidney grille that integrates the lighting elements, just as previewed in our render. That’s not a typical move for a facelift, but as noted, the 2027 BMW M5 will be markedly different from today’s version. The same goes for the rear, where you can make out two pairs of outboard exhaust tips.
