ROAD READY
spec sedan we drove guzzled premium
unleaded at 10 or 11 mpg as it sawed
through the Black Forest. Those ripping
runs highlighted surprising agility for
such a big-boned sedan, and otherworldly
grip from staggered 20- and 21-inch
tires, shod with Michelin's new Pilot
Sport S 5 rubber. Optional carbon-ceramic
brakes bring the monster to heel.
Compared to a civilian 5-Series, the
M5's track is 3.0 inches (76 mm) wider in
front and 1.8 inches (46 mm) at the rear.
Driver-centric seats in the 2022 M5.
speeds up to 87 mph (140 km/h), with
BMW estimating 25 miles (40 km) of
electric range. That's one of five selectable
driving modes, including an " eControl "
setting that maintains or increases
battery charge by upping recuperation
or diverting gasoline energy.
Another M console switch tailors settings
for the throttle map, transmission,
steering, suspension, AWD, brake pedal
and energy recuperation. Two red M buttons
on a flat-bottomed steering wheel
can cut to the chase with stored macro
settings. Or, pull the left-hand shift paddle
for one second, and a Boost function
cranks every powertrain and chassis setting
to maximum sportiness.
That includes a bass-heavy growl
played through the Bowers & Wilkins
audio system that accompanies the natural
tune of the V8 and four large-bore,
dual-flap tailpipes. A racy interior includes
BMW's Curved Display that conjoins
a 12.3-inch driver's screen and a
14.9-inch center display. An " Interaction
Bar " stripes the dash and door panels
with a crystal-like slab that integrates
both haptic controls (that actually
work) and sizzling lighting tied to vehicle
functions. Uhura and Chekov
would approve.
The M5 will charge at up to 7.4 kW
through its CCS port, replenishing an
empty battery in about two hours. But
despite its modest electric range, this
PHEV is no green superhero. The EuroAUTOMOTIVE
