It wasn't long ago that BMW head designer Domagoj Dukec allegedly told a reporter"that the next-generation M5 will be sold in North America in both sedan and wagon body styles." We say allegedly because the report was later denied altogether before hemming and hawing about its existence and what markets it will be sold in continued in earnest. Well now we have for-real confirmation.
Now that we know about its dueling body shapes, questions will naturally turn to its performance credentials. And those, we're sorry to say, are still under wraps. We've seen spy shots for months now of the next-gen M5 in both short- and long-roof variants out testing on roads and racetracks around the globe, and rumor has it that we'll see some sort of plug-in powertrain with more than 700 horsepower and all-wheel drive.

Will there be multiple versions with escalating performance levels , and what will it cost? We don't yet know.
