In contrast to the previous models, the M5 is available for the first time with all-wheel drive. The all-wheel-drive system relies on a rear biased design, however, which is designed for a focus on driving dynamics and BMW also has included a true rear wheel drive mode.
The engine is an evolution of the S63 from the previous model. but is now tuned to produce 600 HP and torque has been raised to 553 lb ft). DCT has been abandoned in favor of an eight-speed automatic transmission. The F90 is the first M5 ever to only have an auto option. It accelerates to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.4 seconds and to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 11.1 seconds.
