Watch The 2018 BMW M5 Testing At The Nurburgring In AWD Form
The next generation M5 has been spotted testing at the Norschleife once more, purportedly in all-wheel drive form this time
With a power output in excess of 600bhp expected, it’s looking as though BMW has come over all sensible and given the next M5 an all-wheel drive ‘xDrive’ option on top of the base rear-driven version.
As such, it’ll be the first ever non-SUV car from M Division to feature four driven wheels. It’ll also be the first time the M5 hasn’t been offered with a manual gearbox anywhere in the world - the current F10 version and the old E60 could both be bought with a stick shifter in North America, but that option is set to disappear.
