BMW is preparing for the Euro 7 regulations set to take effect in the European Union next year. Rather than waiting until the last minute to implement the necessary measures, it’s already making changes to the M5. There’s both good and bad news for the G90 sedan and its more practical G99 wagon sibling. The
