By CarWhere Research · Updated
CarWhere lists 13 US-market BMW M5 trims across 5 chassis codes, from the E39 (2000–2003) to the G90 (2025–present), with engine code, power, torque, 0–60, weight and launch MSRP. The G90 makes 717 hp; quickest BMW-claimed 0–60 is 3.4 s.
G90/G99 M5 (2025–present) specs
Chassis codes: G90 sedan · G99 sports wagon
What changed in the G90
The seventh-generation M5 is the first plug-in hybrid M5: a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 (577 hp) combines with an electric motor in the eight-speed M Steptronic transmission for 717 hp and 738 lb-ft, driving all four wheels through M xDrive. A 14.8 kWh battery allows short electric-only driving. For the first time BMW sells the M5 Touring wagon in the US, alongside the sedan. The extra hardware makes it far heavier than the F90, at about 5,390 lb for the sedan.

It came only as a sedan with a six-speed manual and a limited-slip differential, and it was built alongside regular 5 Series cars at Dingolfing, which let BMW produce more than 20,000. US production began in September 1999, and BMW NA included a Performance Center driving day with each new car.
