The BMWÂ MÂ Division has developed an exclusive special edition of the worldâs most successful high-performance business sedan, setting yet another highlight in the current BMW M5 model range. With power output increased to 441Â kW/600 hp and a maximum torque of 700 Newton metres, the BMW M5 âCompetition Editionâ ranks among the most powerful automobiles in the model history of the BMW brand (combined fuel consumption: 9.9 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 231Â g/km)*.
The BMWÂ M5Â âCompetition Editionâ, which comes as standard with an M dual clutch transmission featuring Drivelogic, sprints from 0 to 100km/h in just 3.9 seconds. A distinctive personalised look, the standard Competition Package and a comprehensive range of optional features render the BMW M5 âCompetition Editionâ, the production of which is limited to 200, an automobile of exceptionally high value.
More power and further enhanced handling characteristics
The familiar 4.4-litre, high-revving V8 engine featuring path-breaking BMW M TwinPower Turbo technology is the powerful heart of the BMW M5 âCompetition Editionâ. An increase in boost pressure as well as targeted modifications to the engine management raise the carâs performance vs. the production model by 29 kW/40 hp to 441 kW/600 hp. At the same time, maximum torque has increased by 20 Newton metres to 700 Newton metres.
The increase in power output harmonises perfectly with the Competition Package, which is supplied as standard on the BMW M5 âCompetition Editionâ and noticeably enhances the carâs handling characteristics even further. The Competition Package includes, inter alia, a lowering of the vehicle by 10Â millimetres and a firmer setup of spring and damper systems and stabilizers.
In conjunction with this modified setup, the specific control setting for the Active M differential fitted as standard on all BMW M5 models ensures further optimized traction. Furthermore, the steering system with an M specific Servotronic function comes with a more direct control map, providing the driver with more precise response and further enhancing the carâs agility in bends.
In addition, the M Dynamic Mode of the stability control system DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) has been further aligned to sporty handling characteristics. As a result, the BMW M5 âCompetition Editionâ guarantees typical M driving dynamics at the highest level both in everyday traffic and on the racetrack, especially when combined with the optional MÂ carbon-ceramic brake system.
Exclusive sporty and dynamic look
The BMW M5 âCompetition Editionâ signalises its extraordinary potential even when at a standstill. The exclusive body colours â100 vehicles in Carbon Black metallic and 100 in Mineral White metallic respectively â strongly emphasise the BMW M5âs sporty, elegant lines. And the 20-inch, forged and polished, double-spoke MÂ light alloy wheels in a Jet Black finish and with mixed tyres (265/35 ZR20 at the front, 295/30 ZR20 at the rear) underscore the carâs outstanding handling characteristics.
MÂ Performance parts in carbon such as the rear diffuser, the gurney on the boot lid and the mirror caps set further dynamic accents. The high gloss black kidney grilles and side gills bearing the lettering âM5 Competitionâ add the finishing touches to the car’s premium appearance.
High-quality ambience with sporty accents in the interior
The interior also underscores the uniqueness of the BMW M5 âCompetition Editionâ. For example, carbon interior trim strips bearing the logo âM5Â Competition 1/200â indicate the modelâs high-performance qualities and the fact that the BMW M5 âCompetition Editionâ is just one of the 200 that have been built. The sophisticated interior ambience is strongly characterised by the full leather trim Merino Black with contrast stitching in Opal White and floor mats in Anthracite with leather Merino Opal White bordering.
Inside the BMW M5 âCompetition Editionâ, both driver and front passenger sit in M multifunctional seats, the comprehensive electric adjustment options of which guarantee a perfect balance between comfort and sporty lateral support. Here too, the white lettering â///M5â embroidered on the headrests emphasises the carâs exclusiveness.
Further equipment highlights round off the impressive appearance of the ultimate high-performance business sedan: These include the 1,200 watt Bang & Olufsen High End Surround Sound System, BMW Head-Up Display, Comfort Access, Lane Departure Warning or the optional BMW Driving Assistant, heated seats at the front or the through-loading system. The BMW M5 âCompetition Editionâ is available from 129,500 Euros
