Plugs In, Drinks Gas, Goes Wicked Fast: 2025 BMW M5

EV Rider reviewer Dan Scanlan has the new version of a potent BMW sports sedan to test – that means a 2025 M5 with a twin-turbo V-8, and a plug-in hybrid EV system to bring power and poise to its 7th generation.

That equates to 577 gasoline horsepower in a 4.4-liter V-8, plus 347 volts/194 EV horsepower, funneling through all-wheel-drive. And that means this carbon-fiber-roofed sedan funnels all that power through an 8-speed M Steptronic transmission to hit 60 mph in 3 seconds, or enjoys an EPA-rated 25 miles of EV cruising.
