The 2025 BMW M5 is a plug-in hybrid, great news for those who want instant torque, more power, all-electric around-town motoring and internal combustion endurance. But if you want a lightweight sports sedan, the new M5 isn't for you. The 2025 M5 rings in at 5,390 lbs, up about 1,000 lbs from the outgoing, all-ICE model. It's even heavier than the all-electric BMW i5 M60, which is built on the same platform as the M5.
BMW surely beefed up the brakes enough to handle the added mass, and the added stopping power of a regenerative braking system should ease their load. Plus, every generation of M5 has gotten heavier, more tech-laded, more powerful and faster. Every time, enthusiasts call foul, claiming that the M5 is dead. Then it sets another sales record, and two generations later what used to be fat and numb is now 'the old one' with its 'more analog' feel.
