What type of engine does a BMW M5 have?

The BMW M5 has historically used V8 engines, though the current generation (G90) features a V8 hybrid powertrain.

Here's a breakdown:

* Current generation (G90, 2024-present): A twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine paired with a 48V mild hybrid system.

* Previous generation (F90, 2018-2023): A twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine.

* Earlier generations (E28, E34, E39, E60, E61, F10): Naturally aspirated and later, turbocharged V8 engines.

While the current generation does feature an electric motor for mild hybrid assistance, the primary power source remains a V8 engine, continuing the M5's legacy of powerful and sporty performance.
