Overview
The BMW M5 is a five-seat, all-wheel-drive executive sedan for buyers who want plug-in hybrid petrol power in a full-sized performance saloon. The G90 generation pairs a twin-turbo V8 with an electric motor and automatic transmission. Prices start from RM1,200,800 in Malaysia.
M5 in 2026 — what's new
The G90 BMW M5 carries into 2026 unchanged after this generation launched in 2025. Malaysia’s current range is a single AWD variant, using a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 plug-in hybrid system with an electric motor integrated into the ZF eight-speed automatic transmission. System output is 727 PS and 1,000 Nm.
Verdict
The G90 M5 takes a decisive technical turn as the first plug-in hybrid M5. Its 727 PS and 1,000 Nm are huge figures, but the hybrid hardware also makes it nearly 2.5 tonnes. That mass and added complexity are central to the car’s character. At RM1.2 million, it costs far more than the Volvo ES90 from RM339,888 and Mercedes-Benz AMG EQE from RM649,888.
