New BMW M5 Competition Edition (6)

The new BMW M5 Competition Edition, limited to just 200 units worldwide, celebrates the production life of the F10-generation M5. Both power and torque have been increased, making the Competition Edition one of the most potent road cars ever produced by BMW. The peak power output now stands at 600 hp, while the torque output reaches a maximum of 700 Nm, equating to a 0-100 kph time of just 3.9 seconds.

The Competition Edition comes with the M Competition Package as standard, which consists of stiffer responses from the springs and electronically controlled dampers, along with thicker anti-roll bars. The Active M electronically controlled multi-plate limited slip differential has been re-calibrated for an even more sporty response, while six-piston caliper brakes are mounted within 20-inch M light alloy wheels, finished in high gloss Jet Black.
