We’re enamored over the announcement of a unique 2025 BMW M5 that will be auctioned for charity during the prestigious Pebble Beach Automotive Week. This remarkable vehicle, the first of its kind in North America, showcases an extraordinary level of bespoke options and exclusive features that set it apart as a true masterpiece.

Exclusive and Unique Design

The 2025 BMW M5 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance #1/1 is distinguished by its exclusive BMW Individual Frozen Orange metallic paint. This color, inspired by the captivating orange hues of a Pebble Beach sunset, was scheduled to be discontinued prior to the start of M5 production. To ensure its uniqueness, the body of this M5 was painted weeks in advance, making it the only 2025 M5 in this striking shade. Complementing the vibrant exterior are hand-painted orange accents on the staggered M Dual-Spoke Bicolor wheels, which feature a 20-inch front and 21-inch rear configuration. These wheels, mounted on high-performance tires, surround massive M Carbon Ceramic brakes with calipers finished in Matte Gold, adding a touch of sophistication and performance.

A Bespoke Interior

The interior of this special M5 is as distinctive as its exterior. The M Multi-Function seats are adorned in a unique combination of Kyalami Orange and Silverstone Extended Merino leather, a color scheme created specifically for this vehicle. The headrests are emblazoned with the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance® logo, using an innovative new printing technology, just above the illuminated M5 badge. Carbon Fiber Silver Thread High Gloss trim with Dark Silver Accent spans the dashboard, adorned with the 2024 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance® logo and the “#1/1” inscription, emphasizing the car’s individuality. This bespoke interior package is valued at over $57,000, reflecting the meticulous craftsmanship involved.

Advanced Features and Performance

Beyond its stunning aesthetics, the 2025 BMW M5 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance #1/1 is equipped with an array of premium features. The Driving Assistance Professional Package enhances safety with Lane Keeping Assistant, Side Collision Protection, and Distance Control for highway speeds. The Traffic Jam Assistant provides hands-free driving up to 40 mph in dense traffic. The Executive Package includes front ventilated seats, illumination for the kidney grille, a power rear sunshade, and Parking Assistant Plus. The Carbon Package adds a CFRP roof panel, rear spoiler, and mirror caps, while the M Drive Professional offers two track-oriented driving modes – DYNAMIC and DYNAMIC PLUS – ensuring optimal performance on the track. However, the new 2025 BMW M5, as an advanced hybrid, has a curb weight of 5,390 pounds, which is comparable to that of a BMW X5, is causing a stir within the automotive community where the new M5 may be a bit slower than its predecessor.

Auction for a Cause

This exceptional M5 will be auctioned at no-reserve by Gooding & Company on August 16, with all proceeds benefiting the Pebble Beach Company Foundation. The Foundation supports literacy and education programs for disadvantaged young people in Monterey County, making this auction not just a celebration of automotive excellence but also a noble cause.

A Collector’s Dream

The 2025 BMW M5 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance #1/1 is a true collector’s dream, combining unique design elements, advanced technology, and a commitment to philanthropy. It will be on display from August 14 at Gooding & Company’s space at Pebble Beach Parc du Concours, offering enthusiasts a chance to witness this masterpiece before it finds its new home. Delivery to the winning bidder is estimated for late October 2024, marking the beginning of a new chapter for this extraordinary vehicle.
