BMW just rolled out the new 2022 M5 CS Sedan, and man, oh man, does this guy look right and proper. It’s the quickest and most powerful BMW production vehicle ever. Ever. It cranks out 627 horsepower and 553 lb-ft. of torque and, at 230 lbs. lighter than an M5 Competition, you can expect a zero to 60 time of 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 190 mph. Yowzer!

2022 BMW M5 CS Sedan: Those Numbers Again

The “M” in BMW stands for “Motor,” and to hammer that point home all you have to do is realize that the M5 CS Sedan is powered by a 4.4-liter M TwinPower turbo V8. That 627 horsepower represents a bump of 10 over the M5 Competition. And the torque figures are a staggering 553 lb-ft. from 1,800 to 5,950 rpm for a 90 rpm wider band than the M5 Competition.
Given that near-tug-like amount of torque is found in a friggin four-door makes me shake my head with excitement, laugh like a maniac, and make a grab for the keys!

Other noteworthy engine specs include the 7,200 rpm redline, the high-pressure direct injection for precise fuel atomization and engine response, the liquid-to-air intercooling for the two turbochargers, and an oil system with two pumps to make sure the M5 CS is as competent on the track as it is on the street.
