Let’s start with performance, the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) setup consists of a 3.0-litre turbocharged straight-six engine producing 449 PS and an electric motor generating 163 PS.

The 2021 F90 BMW M5 facelift, or Lifecycle Impulse (LCI) in BMW-lingo, will be revealed on June 17. Kolesa.ru has previewed how the facelifted sports sedan will look like.

Offered in both Sedan and Estate version, the refreshed version gets a more aggressive styling and technological update to keep up with the rest of the siblings.
