2025 BMW M5 Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 BMW M5 is a high-performance midsize luxury car offered in just one trim level but two different body styles: the M5 sedan and M5 Touring, a wagon variant. Both are powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 plug-in hybrid setup, which makes a combined 717 horsepower and 738 lb-ft. That power is distributed to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive system, which have been tuned for performance by BMW's M division. With its transmission-mounted electric motor, the M5 is capable of driving on battery power alone and is estimated to be capable of traveling 25 miles before the gas engine kicks on. Feature highlights include:

M5
The one and only model in the lineup comes loaded with:

  • Staggered 20-inch front, 21-inch rear wheels with performance tires
  • Four-wheel steering
  • Adaptive suspension dampers
  • M Sport limited-slip differential
  • Power trunklid
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Keyless entry and start
  • Leather upholstery
  • Heated front seats
  • Four-zone automatic climate control
  • Digital instrument cluster
  • Head-up display
  • 14.9-inch touchscreen
  • Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration 
  • Bowers & Wilkins surround-sound system
  • Wireless charging pad
  • Ambient interior lighting

Every M5 also comes with these advanced safety features

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Blind-spot warning (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
  • Front and rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
  • Adaptive LED headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)

The M5 can be enhanced by selecting the following packages:

Executive package

  • Illuminated kidney grille
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Heated rear seats
  • Side window shades (and power rear shade for the M5 Touring)
  • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)
  • Interior camera for remote monitoring and facial recognition

Driving Assistance Professional package

  • Active Driving Assistant Pro hands-free driving aid

Stand-alone options include:

  • M compound brakes with red calipers
  • Carbon-ceramic brakes
  • M Drive Professional performance modes
  • M Driver's package (raises top speed and comes with a one-day performance driving course)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the M5 and the car in front)
  • Illuminated kidney grille

Which M5 trim does Edmunds recommend?

There's only one model in the lineup, so your job is made easy for you. However, your M5 can be made a little bit more special by adding a few packages. We think the Driving Assistance Professional package is worthwhile since it gives you hands-free driving capability under 40 mph and it's only about $1,000 more than the standard adaptive cruise control option. For a bit more luxury, check the box for the Executive package to gain access to ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, side window shades and the M5's slick-looking illuminated kidney grille.
