Currently reading: 2014 BMW M5 spied for the first time

The 2014 model year BMW M5 has been photographed during testing in Germany

The 2014 facelifted BMW M5 has been spotted testing for the first time, showing the cosmetic changes which will bring the supersaloon in-line with the rest of the forthcoming, revised 5-series range.

Our spy shots show the revised M5 will feature resculpted headlights and a slightly slimmer interpretation of the iconic kidney grille. The 2014 model year revisions also include new rear lights and a lightly modified rear bumper.

The external changes are far less extensive than those applied to the Mercedes E63 AMG recently.

The new M5 will borrow the latest iteration of BMW’s iDrive multimedia system from the 7-series.

BMW has not revealed any changes to the specification of the F10 M5’s engine. However the 550i, which shares its basic engine with the M5, is in line for a power boost, taking total output to around 450bhp.
