M Performance Parts make the BMW M5 Touring look devilishly good
The new BMW M5 Touring, which was introduced to the world last August, is among the heaviest cars on the market right now, weighing in at approximately 2,508 kg.
In response, BMW has unveiled a range of M Performance Parts accessories, featuring various components made from carbon fibre and high-tech fibre composite material called aramid.
While the exact weight reduction is undisclosed, the kit does enhance the M5 Touring’s aggressive overall look, complementing its supercar-like performance.
It begins at the front, where the M5 Touring receives a carbon fibre splitter that accentuates the central air intake in the bumper.
At the rear, there’s a carbon fibre diffuser that’s divided into two sections, which can be paired with M Performance tailpipe trims for an even more striking visual impact.
Additionally, the M Performance Parts kit includes side decals in Frozen Black and carbon fibre sill extensions, giving the wagon an even wider stance.
For a more menacing look, customers can also opt for M exterior mirror caps in carbon fibre and the aramid M Performance aerial cover.
Other offerings include a carbon fibre fuel cap that “ turns every refuel into a small pit stop,” M Performance floor mats with leather-look edging, an Alcantara and leather key fob cover, and M Performance tyre bags that can be used for protection and storage.
Unfortunately, these M Performance Parts do not equate to increased performance. But it’s probably the last thing it needs as the M5 Touring is already a very potent car thanks to its 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 hybrid engine that generates 717 hp and 1,000 Nm of torque.
Life’s too short to argue about which car is the best. Drive whatever you like, as long as you’re happy with it.
