‘New’ BMW M5 Competition We just missed the print deadline last month with the arrival of the LCI M5 Competition, so here it is this month taking centre stage in all its Imola Red glory. The Life Cycle Impulse or midgeneration refresh that hit the G30 5 Series (we covered this in last month’s BMW News), has now found its way onto the F90 M5 Competition, meaning new front headlights and grill design, new LED tail lights, a chassis tuned for on-track performance with the addition of new dampers plus a larger 12.3-inch Central Information Display powered by BMW Operating System 7.0. According to BMW UK, the LCI F90 M5 Competition has an OTR of £98,095.
The M5 Competition still uses the same S63 4.4-litre twinturbo V8 which produces 625bhp and 750Nm of torque, although these figures have proven to be very conservative in rolling road tests. The M5 Competition, utilising its all-wheel drive traction, can scorch to 60mph from rest in a scant 3.1 seconds, before the fun stops at an electronically limited 155mph. Although, with the limiter removed this is a genuine 200mph car… This is of course a very brief overview of the LCI package for the F90 M5 Competition as the list of features, both standard and optional, is very long, so if you would like more info please visit bmw.co.uk.
