BMW is proud to announce the quickest and most powerful production BMW car ever, the 2022 M5 CS (Competition Sport) Sedan. Available only for the 2022 model year, the new limited production super sedan builds on the immensely capable M5, itself recently updated for model year 2021, by delivering more power, greater performance, lighter weight and exclusive interior appointments making the new M5 CS truly a one-of-a-kind vehicle in its class.
The combination of increased power and a rigorous weight-reduction program through the extensive use of CFRP materials improves the power-to-weight ratio to elevate the performance and dynamics further enhancing the M5’s already very high street and track capabilities.
For the first time, the M5 features a four-passenger seating configuration with M carbon sport seats up front and two individual bucket seats for the rear passengers.
The S63 4.4-liter M TwinPower turbo V8 has been tuned to deliver 627 hp at 6,000 rpm, an increase of 10 hp over the Competition model. The torque band delivers its full 553 lb. ft. from 1,800 to 5,950 rpm, 90 rpm wider than the M5 Competition. The eight-cylinder’s engine redline is 7,200 rpm. The high-pressure direct fuel injection ensures precise fuel atomization and fast engine response. The liquid-to-air intercooling for the two turbochargers and oil system with two pumps make sure that the M5 CS is as competent on track as it is on the street.
Combined with the reduced vehicle weight, the high levels of power and torque and working through the 8-speed M Steptronic automatic transmission with Drivelogic and the M xDrive all-wheel drive system, the M5 CS reaches 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds, 0.2 seconds quicker than the M5 Competition model. Top speed with the standard M Driver’s Package is 190 mph. The M Driver’s Package also includes a voucher for BMW driver training.
The rear-biased M xDrive all-wheel drive system distributes the available 553 ft. lbs. of torque between front and rear axles via an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch while the Active M Differential further optimizes power between the rear wheels for maximum grip and lateral dynamics.
The driver can select from three xDrive modes including 4WD, 4WD Sport and 2WD. The Dynamic Stability Control system can be adjusted between three settings to further enhance driver control – DSC ON, M Dynamic Mode and DSC OFF.
The eight-speed M Steptronic transmission provides extraordinarily short shift times and fast, precise responses to every input of the accelerator. The Drivelogic switch on the gear selector lever allows three modes – efficient, sport or track with extremely rapid gearshifts. A transmission oil cooler ensures the transmission operates within its best temperature range even when the car is put through its paces on a closed track.
The exhaust tone’s characteristics are changed depending on the selected mode – EFFICIENT, SPORT or SPORT+. Additionally, the M Sound button can soften the exhaust tone for a more understated note.
The notable reduction in weight of the M5 CS compared to the M5 Competition is thanks in part to the use of carbon fiber reinforced plastic. Exterior CFRP components include the roof (standard on all M5s), hood with vents (in unpainted carbon-fiber), front splitter, mirror caps, rear diffuser and rear spoiler. In the engine compartment, the engine cover with full-color M logo and stripes is made from CFRP. Additional weight savings are achieved through a reduction in soundproofing.
A special Gold Bronze finish is applied to the BMW kidney grille surround, to the model badging and to the 20-inch forged light alloy wheels.
The most striking feature of the M5 CS Sedan’s interior is the seating-for-four configuration in black Merino leather with Mugello red accents and contrasting red stitching. The driver and front seat passenger are treated to new lightweight, heated and electrically adjustable M carbon bucket seats with aggressive side-bolstering, integrated head rests and illuminated M5 logos.
The M5 CS is available in a standard Brands Hatch grey metallic paint with two optional BMW Individual colors – Frozen Brands Hatch grey metallic and Frozen Deep Green metallic.
The M Carbon ceramic brakes provide exceptional thermal stability, resistance to fade and improved wear while also reducing weight by 51 lbs when compared to the standard M Compound brakes found on the M5 Competition model.
The 2022 BMW M5 CS MSRP starts at $142,000.
