Someone Already Crashed A 2025 BMW M5
It didn’t take long for one of the 2025 BMW M5 sedans to make headlines for the wrong reasons. In Poland, an employee of a local BMW dealership reportedly crashed a G90 M5, bringing an abrupt halt to what should have been a routine drive in one of BMW’s most powerful sedans to date.
The exact details surrounding the accident remain unclear, but reports suggest that the driver lost control and collided with roadside fixtures. Images from the scene show significant damage concentrated around the driver-side door and front fender. Plastic debris is scattered at the site, and the force of the impact triggered the car’s airbags, emphasizing the severity of the collision.
Despite the visible damage, the M5 might still be salvageable. However, concerns linger about possible structural damage that could make repairs uneconomical. These modern performance machines are designed with lightweight and advanced materials, meaning even seemingly minor incidents can lead to expensive repairs.
The 2025 BMW M5 is no ordinary sedan. Equipped with a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 hybrid engine, it officially delivers 717 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. However, recent dyno tests revealed that the actual output may be closer to a jaw-dropping 820 horsepower and 859 lb-ft. Such immense power requires careful handling, particularly when driven near the limit.
This incident serves as a cautionary tale for dealerships, drivers, and enthusiasts alike. High-performance vehicles like the BMW M5 demand respect and experience behind the wheel. As more of these powerhouse sedans hit the roads, the hope is that their owners—and drivers—will exercise greater caution to avoid similar mishaps. For now, this Polish M5’s road to recovery remains uncertain, much like its journey in the hands of its dealership.
