"The M5 has always delivered furious performance in a comfortable and stylish package, but thanks to hard work and technological improvements the 2012 M5 marries increased fuel economy to expected M-division performance. In short, this M5 is better in every way. Engineering is truly a wonderful thing."
—Official description (Forza Horizon)[1]

The 2012 BMW M5 - abbreviated as "BMW F10 M5"[2] or "BMW M5 '12" - is a front-engine, rear-wheel drive sports sedan by BMW.

It appears in Forza Motorsport 4 as part of the BMW M5 Fan Pack, and is featured as standard in all subsequent main series titles.

Synopsis[]

The 2012 M5, codenamed F10, is the fifth generation model of the BMW M5 sports sedan. It was introduced for the 2012 model year to replace the E60 M5. In 2018, it was succeeded by the F90 M5.

Drivetrain[]

Due to more rigorous fuel economy standards, a higher focus on fuel efficiency than in previous models was considered during development. It differs from past models in that it uses a 4,395 cc twin-turbocharged V8 engine codenamed S63B44TÜ rather than a naturally aspirated engine. It has a power output of 552 hp (412 kW) from 6000 to 7000 rpm and a torque output of 501 ft·lb (679 N·m) from 1500 to 5750 rpm. It comes with a seven-speed dual-cluch transmission, with the option of a six-speed manual being restricted to the North American market.

Performance[]

The M5 features strong overall performance for an executive saloon car, as it balances out both handling and straight-line performance. With a weight distribution of 52/48, the M5 can maintain momentum in corners but does have slighlty unforgiving handling due to a slightly loose rear. It accelerates from 0 to 60 mph time in 4.1 seconds and from 0 to 100 mph time in 9.5 seconds, making it a decent choice for high speed races.

In comparison with the E60 M5, the F10 M5 has slightly worse handling and braking performance than the E60 due to a higher weight. Despite this, both cars have very similar acceleration times.

The E60 has a top speed of only 188 mph (303 km/h), while the F10 has a higher top speed of at least 196 mph (315 km/h), contrary to BMW's claim that the E60 has a delimited top speed of 205 mph (330 km/h) and the F10 only has 190 mph (306 km/h). In Forza Horizon 3, the F10 M5 can reach a top speed of 205 mph (330 km/h), equivalent to the E60 M5's claimed delimited top speed.
