2012 BMW M5: The M5 tease begins

BMW M5 - the Tease begins

It’s over a year since BMW officially revealed the latest 5-Series, and yet we still don’t have the halo of the range – the BMW M5. But that’s about to change.

As we reported last month, we expect BMW to unveil the new 2012 M5 at the Shanghai Motor Show in April. Which if nothing else should tell you just how important China is to BMW.

That expectation of an M5 reveal at Shanghai has now been all but confirmed with BMW starting to play tease on the new M5. Yep, the boys from Bavaria have been making a video to tease their new range-topper.

Frankly, the video shows you little more than our spy shots of the new M5 did, but there is a brief – if not exactly information-filled – glimpse of an undisguised M5 at the end of the clip.

But whether the M5 tease video whets your appetite for the M5 or makes you wonder why BMW bothered doesn’t really matter. What matters is that the mere fact BMW are sending out a teaser video means the new, V8, 4.4 litre, twin-turbo M5 is almost here.

And not before time.
