BMW M5 Sports Sedan Launched In India At 2012 Auto Expo – Price, Pictures, Specifications and Details

Audi unveiled the Audi S6 sports car sedan at the 2012 Auto Expo which was a real eye candy and attracted a lot of visitors at the Auto Expo 2012. On the other side of the pavilion BMW was planning something very aggressive and in competition with the S6. Although Audi S6 was not launched at the Expo, BMW launched its globally popular BMW M5 sports car and managed to get an edge over Audi.

BMW M5 is a high performance version of the BMW 5 Series and its concept is very much similar to the S6, which is a sports model of Audi A6. Unlike S6 which is has been in the industry for a couple of years, the M5 is a real legend and has been impressing customers for many years.

Dr. Andreas Schaaf, President, BMW Group India said, “The new BMW M5 is a high performance athlete in a business suit and is a unique blend of two worlds – performance and luxury. BMW M stands for a unique philosophy of driving pleasure – high performance, sophisticated sporting flair and aesthetics. M cars are designed to be fun. And I guarantee, the new BMW M5 is a lot of fun.”

The car is the world’s most successful high performance sedan and offers a combination of power, luxury, sportiness and practicality. While the M5 offers unparalleled luxury and comfort, at the same time it also offers untouchable power. As far as the looks are concerned the car is is quite identical with the 5 series, as I have mentioned above, but the uniqueness lies across the length of the car in the form of slight changes. At the rear you have an M5 badge, dual chrome exhausts, three air intakes in the front bumper, flared wheel arches, three-dimensional gills, side skirts, 19” and 20 “ alloy wheel options etc., represent the character of the M5.
