BMW M5 upgrades: The M performance package unveiled

It has only been a moment since the new M5's market debut, but the Bavarians have already prepared an M Performance accessory package for the most demanding customers. What does it include?

The new BMW M5 stands out. However, there will undoubtedly be those who want to stand out even more. This is precisely why the M Performance package was created, allowing you to sharpen the look of the sports sedan (though there will also be a wagon version).

The manufacturer primarily used the ever-stylish carbon fibre. This material made the front bumper lip, side skirts, and aggressive diffuser. It is also impossible not to notice the larger spoiler.

Completing the package are additional stickers with "M Sport" markings - in case anyone doubts which version they are looking at. It's a pity that far less is happening inside, where, for example, the carbon bucket seats available in the smaller M3 are missing.

Unfortunately, the M Performance package does not solve the M5's biggest problem, which is its high curb weight. The car weighs about 2,500 kg. Thanks to the carbon fibre roof, we saved 29 kg, and the ceramic brakes weigh 24 kg less than the standard ones. There is some difference, but you will likely feel it only in your wallet.

Those interested in more spectacular modifications and noticeably lower weight should wait for the extreme CS version.
