Markus Flasch, CEO of BMW M GmbH said :

“The BMW M5 CS has been in action as one of our new MotoGP safety cars since the season-opener in Qatar. As such, it was an obvious decision for us to offer its production counterpart as the prize for the 2021 BMW M Award,” 

And he added: “For almost two decades, the BMW M Award has been a pillar of our involvement as ‘Official Car of MotoGP’. It has always been important to us to honour the qualifying performances of the MotoGP riders with a spectacular prize. In 2021, we are presenting the BMW M5 CS – the new top model in our range of high-performance automobiles. We now have our fingers crossed for all the MotoGP riders – we are intrigued to see who will get their hands on the BMW M5 CS at the season finale, as the winner of the BMW M Award.”
 
“Every year, BMW M GmbH unveils a real highlight as the prize for the BMW M Award at the first European race of the season, and this is the case once again in 2021,” said Pau Serracanta, Managing Director of the Commercial Department of MotoGP™ commercial rights holder Dorna Sports. “The BMW M5 CS has already impressed us as a safety car, and the production version of this high-performance automobile really is a spectacular prize for our most successful qualifier. It once again underlines how important involvement in MotoGP is for our partner BMW M GmbH. We are excited to see which of our riders will win the coveted BMW M Award at the end of the season.”

The M Power under the bonnet, gives the BMW M5 CS sprints from 0 – 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.0 seconds, and from 0 – 200 km/h (124 mph) in 10.3 seconds. Top speed is an electronically governed 305 km/h (189 mph). The high-performance engine teams up with an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic and uses the M xDrive all-wheel-drive system, which also offers a 2WD mode for pure rear-wheel drive, to channel its power to the road.

BMW M GmbH has always focussed on the importance of lightweight design and so it is with the BMW M5 CS.

The lightweight importance means tge M5 CS chassis has also been adapted to the weight of the car, which is lighter than other M5 models, with retuned bearing springs at the front and rear axle, and further refined damper control.

The stainless steel M5 CS sports exhaust has four unadorned tailpipes. Other features include the M Carbon ceramic brakes.

The BMW M Award is one of the many BMW M activities as the ‘Official Car of MotoGP’.

It works with the scoring system for the race, as the riders receive points for their positions in qualifying at each Grand Prix weekend. The rider who has picked up the most points at the end of the season wins the coveted BMW M Award.

The record holder is Marc Márquez, who already had claimed the BMW M Award seven times in a row from 2013 to 2019. The last season, in 2020, the talented French pilote Fabio Quartararo joined the winners list for the first time ! ...
