BMW F90 M5 is the next generation car coming from BMW pipeline. It is going to be the most interesting and exciting event as lot of changes have been made in the M division of BMW. Even though previous models X5M and X6M released by BMW were the first all wheel drive M cars, but they were SUVs and upcoming BMW F90 M5 will be the first actual M car to power all 4 wheels with its over 600 hp engine. Since its competitors Audi and Mercedes have already launched all wheel drive with their RS6 and AMG models respectively, it makes sense for BMW to also go for all wheel drive otherwise it will lose to its competitors, especially in areas where the cold winter climate can make the performance of rear wheel drive a little tricky.

BMW M550i has only 456 hp and 480 lb-ft torque and is still faster than any previous generation M5 car because of its all wheel drive. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds, then you can imagine what the speed of the upcoming F90 M5 will going to be as it is rumored to be having over 600 hp. It is likely to go from 0 to 60 mph in under 3 seconds and that is going to be crazy.

Also for the first time, BMW M5 model will be launched without the option of a manual transmission. BMW has already pulled off manual transmission from its previous generation M5 as nobody buys manual now. The upcoming BMW F90 M5 is not only going to have automatic transmission, but the eight speed automatic from ZF as it is the only automatic transmission which can handle the all wheel drive.

You can get all facts about this upcoming wonder and all details at the M5 forum.
