    The seventh generation BMW 5 Series will come to an end towards the middle of 2023 but what can we expect from the successor?

    Naturally, we are interested in versions like the M550i xDrive as well as the top of the range M5.

    According to Autocar, the survival of the M550i is not certain as its N63 petrol engine dates back to the first-generation X6, launched in 2008. This will make the unit 15 years old when the eighth-gen 5 Series arrives, so it will not be a strong candidate for expensive modifications to be made compliant with new Euro 7 emissions regulations.

    The M550i may stick around but there is a possibility that the V8 will be replaced by an uprated version of the 545e PHEV’s four-wheel-drive powertrain, which comprises a 3.0-litre straight-six and a 107 hp (80 kW) gearbox-mounted electric motor for a combined 388 hp (290 kW) and 600 Nm (442 lb-ft) of torque.

    With regards to the M5, speculation is that it will retain the magnificent twin-turbo 4.4-litre V8 but with some electrical assistance. It could make use of the electrified set-up tipped to appear in the upcoming X8 M performance SUV, which has been reported to mate the M division’s ‘S63’ twin-turbo V8 with a 200 hp (150 kW) electric motor for a combined output in the region of 750 hp (560 kW).

    If the M5 does adopt such a set-up, it still leaves room at the top of the 5 Series line-up for an even more powerful fully electric performance variant based on the new i5. With a total of three electric motors and a combined power output of 800 hp (596 kW) the ‘i5 M’ would be the range-topping offering and would more than likely outstrip the M5 in a straight line.

The H6 is proving to be a big success in SA and this sportier-looking offering is likely to sell very well in Mzansi.

What do you think of it?

    • The first customer Maserati MC20 has landed in SA finished in Bianco Audace. We are expecting 9 units to arrive this year. 

The base comes in at R6,714,000 and that gets you a twin-turbo 3-litre V6 delivering 620 hp (463 kW) and 730 Nm of torque.

It is a very pretty thing. What do you all think?

    • The latest BMW X4 M Competition is undeniably quick. It packs a rip-snorting engine delivering bonkers acceleration and some seriously impressive handling agile enough to trick you into thinking it's a sports car.

This LCI model boasts a sweet technical update, with more performance and better tech on offer, plus bespoke M features for this halo model.

The ride however is a tad hard-edged and the X3 M Competition alternative does offer more practicality. If you prefer coupe-like styling this is the one for you even if Sao Paulo Yellow may not be your first choice.
