The fifth generation of the M5 was launched in 2013 and was the first time in its history when it dropped the engine displacement.
But with the addition of twin-turbo twin-scroll turbochargers, the power and torque were increased.

The M5 always had the nickname of the “autobahn sleeper”. All the previous M5s had subtle changes compared to the rest of the 5 series models. That habit was maintained in the 2013 model. The only changes are made to the front where a larger bumper with three big air intakes and honeycomb mesh is present. The kidneys are rounded by a chromed rim and on the front side fenders, there is ventilation grille. The side sills are a little bit bigger than of the other models.

In the rear, a quad exhaust, bigger rear bumper and a small spoiler on the trunk lid will tell the others that they were just overtaken by an M5. But this kind of modification is noticeable only by a car enthusiast.

The interior features enough luxury items to be considered a limousine. The standard list is long and includes bolstered seats, power-adjustable steering column, backup and front-side cameras. The interior space is enough for five people. But the center driveshaft tunnel is tall enough so only two passengers can sit comfortably in the rear.
