Overview
The BMW M5 is the G90 executive sedan for drivers who want a five-seat plug-in hybrid performance car with a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 and all-wheel drive. Launched in 2025, it sits at the hard edge of the executive-saloon market rather than alongside regular 5 Series models. Prices start from RM1,188,800.
M5 in 2026 — what's new
For 2026, the BMW M5 carries on unchanged: there is no 2026-specific M5 update. The Malaysian range remains a single G90 AWD sedan, using a petrol plug-in hybrid system built around the 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 and an electric motor integrated into the eight-speed automatic transmission. Output remains 727 PS and 1,000 Nm.

BMW M5 buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The G90 M5 delivers extraordinary numbers: 727 PS and 1,000 Nm from its V8 plug-in hybrid system. But the hybrid hardware brings complexity and the car weighs nearly 2.5 tonnes, which makes this a fundamentally different proposition from earlier M5s. It also costs substantially more than the listed Mercedes-AMG EQE, Maserati Ghibli, Jaguar XF and regular BMW 5 Series.
