BMW has introduced the 2012 M5 at the Frankfurt Motor Show earlier on Tuesday.
The new M5 is equipped by a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine with 560 hp available from 6,000 to 7,000 rpm and 502 lb-ft of torque, but it might have two few cylinders than last year’s model.
Despite the power boost, but it also cut fuel consumption by more than 30% to 9.9-liter/100 km (23.8mpg), thanks to a full complement of EfficientDynamics upgrades, like automatic start/stop and brake energy regeneration.
