As a rolling test rig for BMW's Heart of Joy processor, the Vision makes an astounding 13,269 lb-ft of torque.

It’s all change at BMW. The new M5 was revealed just a few months ago, but it seems Munich’s engineers and designers are already working on a facelift. From the pictures here, we can see the tweaked M5 will benefit from similar treatment to the new iX SUV. In simple terms, it’s getting a Neue Klasse nosejob.

The changes are immediately apparent as the M5 adopts a Neue Klasse-inspired front fascia with a shorter grille that flows into new headlights. They’re joined by a new front bumper, which gains a middle intake as well as a revamped lower opening. The latter sports a central V-shape, which will presumably echo the one found on the M2.
