2012 BMW M5 Rumored to get All-Wheel-Drive Version

Posted: 03 May 2011 01:26 PM PDT


What's better than the new 2012 BMW M5? A new 2012 BMW M5 with all-wheel-drive! The Bavarian beast, better known as the M5, has been reportedly confirmed that it will have an AWD version when it hits the production line.

Due to showcase its sheetmetal at upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show in September, the new 2012 BMW M5 will sport a turbocharged V8 with around 600 horsepower. With the idea of this force-fed monster delivering power to all four wheels, it will surely be an added treat for those fortunate enough to get behind the wheel of BMW's 4-door legend.
