BMW M5, A Diesel Engine Marvel

The new M5 is one stylish car that is upholding BMW’s Motorsport’s specialties. Extended side-sills and boot-lid spoiler are simple. BMW’s trademark quad exhaust pipes are poking out from under the rear valance. Ten radiators are fed by wider and larger air-ducts at the front. As we come to the engine bay, it has a 4.4-litre, 90 degree V8 all-aluminum BMW diesel engine fed by 2 twin-scroll Honeywell turbo-chargers placed between cylinder banks. At up-to 200 bars of pressure the engine runs direct injection, as well as double vanos variable camshaft timing and valvetronic variable valve lift.

BMW says that this M5 has the M’s finest throttle response and high revolutions fireworks that generates 552bhp between the rpm of 6000 and 7000. It can rev up to a maximum of 7200 which will eventually produce 10 percent more power than the outgoing V10. This new BMW V8 diesel engine produces 502lb ft between 1500 to 5750rpm that is 30 percent more of torque than the last M5 and accessible over a band of revolutions three times wider. As compared to the old V10, it has 30 percent higher ...
... fuel efficiency and fed from an 80-litre fuel tank which should contribute to the cruising range by 50 percent improvement.

Now the M5 returns 28mpg which means a 300 plus miles in a tank, and does 0-60mph in just 4.4 seconds and 100mph came up in 9.0 seconds. The CO2 emissions 232g/km, top speed is 155mph. The interesting fact here with this 5-series’ active chassis systems that have been developed by BMW M especially for this car is, there is no rear wheel steer, no variable-ratio electro-mechanical power steering system, no active anti-roll bars and a very little of the gadgetry. As an alternative, the M5 is using simple, light, robust suspension and an electro-hydraulic power steering. It’s made up of double wishbones up at front and multi-links at the rear, like all the standard car’s chassis.

There are new forged aluminum chassis members, adaptive dampers, wider front track and progressive rate springs. The new car weighs 1975kg with fuel. The standard 5 series is now much more effective and fun to drive. This new M5 5-seater express offers a generous headroom and legroom, along with adaptive bi-xenon headlights, soft extended merino leather, a DAB radio, BMW Professional satellite navigation and head-up display. The interior is absolutely out-class, and the driving experience is so delightful. It is no-doubt a marvel in diesel technology by BMW which will cost you only £71,470.
