What engine is in a 2018 M5?
The 2018 M5 is powered by a 600-hp twin-turbocharged 4. V-8 that sends power to all four wheels via the car’s standard all-wheel drive system. Gone are the previous M5’s rear-wheel steering, active roll bars, and other features that only worked to numb the driving experience. The BMW M5 is fitted with a 4. V8 which is paired to an electric motor. As standard it sends 727hp to all four wheels, but this car isn’t standard. It’s had an ECU tune, an intake, downpipes and a sport exhaust system fitted. The result is a whopping 1,020hp and 1,200Nm of torque.BMW lists the 2018 M5 as having 600 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. Sent to all four wheels, since the M5 is AWD (unless in Sport + mode in which case power is sent to the rear wheels only), the power is palpable the moment you hit the start/stop ignition switch.The BMW M5 Touring combines a 4. V-8 BMW M TwinPower Turbo combustion engine and a high-performance electric motor.

BMW M5 from the E34 series appears standard, but under the hood is the mighty V12 from a BMW 850 CSi.
