When Was the 2027 BMW M5 Released?

The underlying G90 M5 launched for the 2025 model year. The 2027 model year carries over largely unchanged from the 2026 version, with only minor updates such as a higher onboard charger rate (11 kW) and additional interior leather options.

U.S. dealers currently stock and sell new 2027 BMW M5 Sedans and the related M5 Touring. Production of the current design continues, while a mid-cycle Life Cycle Impulse (LCI) facelift is in testing and expected to debut in the second half of 2027 (likely as a 2028 model year vehicle).

2027 BMW M5 Performance and Powertrain Specs

The 2027 BMW M5 uses an M Hybrid powertrain: a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 paired with an electric motor and a roughly 14.8–15 kWh battery.

  • Combined system output: 717 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque
  • Transmission: 8-speed automatic
  • Drivetrain: Standard M xDrive all-wheel drive (with rear-biased modes available)
  • 0-60 mph: 3.4 seconds (BMW claim); Car and Driver tested 3.0 seconds
  • Top speed: Up to 190 mph with the M Driver’s Package
  • Electric-only range: Up to 25–29 miles (EPA/BMW figures; real-world testing has confirmed around 29 miles)

Additional performance hardware includes Adaptive M suspension, rear-wheel steering, and available M Carbon Ceramic brakes. The curb weight is substantial (around 5,250 lbs), a trade-off for the hybrid system and luxury equipment.

2027 BMW M5 Pricing in the USA

According to BMW USA and independent sources, the 2027 BMW M5 Sedan starts at approximately $123,300–$124,750 MSRP (destination charges extra; actual dealer pricing varies). Fully optioned examples commonly exceed $140,000–$150,000.

The M5 Touring wagon starts slightly higher, around $125,300. Pricing does not include taxes, title, or any market adjustments. Inventory is limited, and popular configurations can sell near or above MSRP in some markets.

Design, Interior, and Technology Features

The exterior features pronounced flared wheel arches, an aggressive front fascia with the signature BMW kidney grille (available with Iconic Glow lighting), a rear diffuser framing quad exhaust tips, and 20-/21-inch M wheels. An optional M Carbon Exterior Package adds carbon-fiber elements for reduced weight and sharper looks.

Inside, buyers get M multifunction sport seats, an M leather steering wheel with shift paddles and M1/M2 buttons, a digital instrument cluster, and a large central touchscreen running BMW iDrive. Ambient lighting, a head-up display, and high-end audio options (including Bowers & Wilkins) round out the cabin. Standard and optional driver-assistance systems include automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and advanced adaptive cruise packages.

Upcoming 2027/2028 BMW M5 Facelift Expectations

BMW is actively testing a mid-cycle facelift (LCI) of the G90 M5. Spy photos and videos from the Nürburgring show updated front and rear styling, revised lighting, and a more substantial interior redesign expected to incorporate elements of BMW’s newer digital architecture (larger displays, Panoramic Vision, and potential passenger-side screen). Production of the updated models is anticipated around mid-to-late 2027, with customer deliveries following in the second half of the year.

Exact powertrain changes remain unconfirmed, though the hybrid system is expected to carry over with possible refinements.

Is the 2027 BMW M5 Worth Considering?

For U.S. buyers who want a current-generation M5 with 717 hp, everyday usability, and the option of short electric-only trips, the 2027 model is available now. Those willing to wait may prefer the forthcoming facelift for refreshed design and cabin technology. As always, visit a local BMW dealer or use the official BMW USA configurator for the latest inventory, incentives, and build options.
