BMW Unveils Rare Hybrid M5 Special Edition—How to Secure Yours
A Unique Opportunity: The 2025 BMW M5 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance #1/1
BMW is offering a rare and exclusive opportunity for car enthusiasts and collectors alike. The brand has unveiled a special edition of its 2025 M5 hybrid luxury sedan, featuring a unique orange paint finish and an array of custom features. This one-of-a-kind vehicle will be auctioned off at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance event, marking a significant moment in the history of the M5 model.
Exclusive Paint: A Color That Won't Be Repeated
The most eye-catching feature of this M5 is its striking BMW Individual Frozen Orange metallic paint job. This particular color was originally scheduled to be discontinued before the production of the new M5 began. However, BMW decided to keep it available for just one car—the very first all-new M5 to be sold in North America. Once painted, this unique shade will never be used on any future 2025 or newer M5 models, making this vehicle even more special.
Custom Details: From Wheels to Brakes
The orange color extends beyond the exterior, with hand-painted accents on the M dual-spoke 952M wheels. These wheels are equipped with performance tires in a staggered configuration—20 inches in the front and 21 inches in the rear. Complementing the wheels are matte gold painted carbon ceramic brakes, adding both style and performance to the vehicle.
Custom Interior: A Luxurious Experience
Inside the 2025 M5, the attention to detail is equally impressive. According to BMW, the interior includes over $57,000 worth of unique options. The front seats feature a Kyalami orange and Silverstone merino leather combination, which is exclusive to this model. The headrests are adorned with custom Pebble Beach logos, using a new printing technology. The seats are paired with carbon fiber silver threaded gloss trimmings and dark silver accents on the dashboard. A special Pebble Beach logo, along with the "#1/1" badge, can also be found on the door sills.
Additional features include the Executive Package, which adds an illuminated kidney grille, front ventilated seating, and a powered rear sunshade. The Carbon Pack includes a carbon roof panel, rear spoiler, and mirror caps. The Dynamic and Dynamic Plus driving modes enhance the driving experience, while the M Driver's Pack increases the top speed to 190 mph and includes a free driving class.
Auction Details: Supporting a Good Cause
The 2025 BMW M5 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance #1/1 will be auctioned by Gooding & Company on Friday, August 16. The auction will be conducted without a reserve, meaning there is no minimum bid. All proceeds from the sale will go to the Monterey County Pebble Beach Company Foundation, a charity that supports literacy and education programs for disadvantaged young people in the area. It’s important to note that only the amount above the vehicle’s MSRP will go to charity, as the cost of the car itself must still be covered.
This unique opportunity not only offers a glimpse into the future of high-performance luxury sedans but also supports a meaningful cause. For those who have the chance to own this one-of-a-kind M5, it represents more than just a car—it’s a piece of automotive history and a contribution to a better future.
