BMW in Europe has
confirmed that its new M Performance division has been doing work on the M5. Just to be clear, there hasn’t been an improvement in power delivery, so it
stays at 412kW and 680Nm of torque as standard. Changes
however, are over the skin, so to speak.
The M5 M Performance
Edition features “frozen” exterior colours such as “BMW Individual Japan
Red”, “BMW Individual Frozen White” and “BMW
Individual Frozen Blue”. Other special pieces include 20-inch matt black alloy wheels, side gills, and a dark chrome exhaust system. The
interior boasts an Alcantara-covered
steering wheel, M leather stitching and M Sport seats among others.
The cars are available in the UK at £95 140 (R1.24 million) a piece. Unfortunately only 30 examples will be sold, putting them clearly out of reach for South Africa. Nevertheless, this does
not stop a localised version similar to what AC Schnitzer did with the M3 Frozen Edition.
