2025 BMW M5: The Ultimate Beast Unveiled in Frozen Deep Grey
The seventh-generation BMW M5 (G90) has officially been unveiled, and it doesn't just talk the talk; it walks the walk with a mesmerizing new color option: Frozen Isle of Man Green. This matte green shade is part of BMW's freshly minted palette for the M5, adding character and a touch of audacity to this high-performance machine. In the United States, enthusiasts have a delightful menu of one solid color and ten metallic hues, including the ever-popular Isle of Man Green and the eye-catching Marina Bay Blue. If you're feeling particularly adventurous, the Frozen Deep Grey with its matte texture should catch your fancy. And let's not forget, BMW throws in a whopping 150 Individual shades to choose from, ensuring that no two M5s need to look exactly alike.
A Color Combination to Die For
In our exclusive photo session at the legendary Salzburgring, we captured the new M5 in all its glory dressed in Frozen Deep Grey. While BMW has used this color on other models before, its fit on the M5 is nothing short of perfection. Stepping inside, we were greeted by the lavish Red/Black bi-color interior, featuring the Full Merino Metallic leather trim that's making its debut on the M5. If you're rolling in style, might as well do it in seats that feel like thrones. The M Multifunction Seats come adorned in Extended Merino Leather with choices including Black, Silverstone/Black, Red/Black, and Kyalami Orange/Black bi-color options. However, for the more patient shoppers, BMW is introducing Black/Dark Violet and Taupe Grey/Deep Lagoon combinations next spring.
Inside, It's Not Just Luxurious; It's Cutting-Edge
The new M5 is not just about eye candy; it packs substance too. The standard trim elements are dressed in Aluminum Rhombicle, but if you’re looking to splurge, M Carbon Fiber with high-gloss silver threads and BMW Individual Dark Oak high-gloss fine-wood trim are up for grabs. These trim options are complemented with Dark Silver accents, creating an ambiance that's both modern and opulent. Among the tech upgrades, the M5 boasts the latest iDrive 8.5 Operating System, giving you a control center that feels like it’s been teleported from the future.
The Design: Fresh, Familiar, and Fierce
Design-wise, the 2025 BMW M5 keeps things thrilling. It borrows cues from the i5 M60 and sprinkles in distinct M enhancements. With wide aggressive hips, a unique M grille, and quad exhaust tips, this car screams M5 from every angle. The rear diffuser with its split design sets it apart instantly from the standard “G60” 5 Series models. Add to that its larger dimensions, and you’ve got a beast that looks ready to charge even when it's parked.
Wallet Damage and Launch Dates
Now, let's talk numbers. The 2025 BMW M5 starts at $120,675 in the U.S., including destination and handling fees. Production kicks off in July at BMW's Dingolfing Plant in Germany, with global sales commencing in November. If you have a soft spot for wagons, the M5 Touring is also on its way. Expect it to be a bit pricier, and mark your calendars for its debut on August 15 at Pebble Beach. Meanwhile, the M5 G90 sedan will make its first public appearance at the Goodwood Festival of Speed from July 11-14.
Final Thoughts: It's a Stunner
The new BMW M5 continues its rich legacy of combining unparalleled performance with head-turning aesthetics. Whether you're a purist focusing on the spec sheet or an enthusiast drooling over the new Frozen Deep Grey finish, this M5 will cater to every whim and fancy. With high expectations riding on its broad shoulders, this iteration of the BMW M5 doesn't just meet them; it surpasses them with aplomb.
