M Driver's Package

Looking at my dealer's allocation for the new M5. What exactly is "M Driver's Package"? And any guess as to comp package availability (other than in 2 years)? It's on the frozen red special edition already.....

I believe it's a 1 day performance driving course tailored to your specific car you purchase, plus the top speed limiter is now 189mph vs 155.

To elaborate on what somer provided:

increased top speed limiter

replacement tire certificate sticker/iDrive database

Advanced M Driver training

other small unpublished software tweaks to DSC.

Not sure how you've concluded the "frozen red special edition" has Competition package, but that's false.

Dealer error re comp package--I believe he meant the M sport exhaust will be on this edition car. Would have been nice to have that exhaust available initially on all of the cars...

Sport Exhaust should be available once the actual US order guide is available. The HEA DRAFT posted here is a poor reference.

Think those of us they have orders in based on HEA will be able to update our orders once it?s out of draft?

M Driver's package is probably the most useless option BMW offers to its customers, and it costs a lot...

M driver package in Asia doesn't include driving school though, it's about a 2300 USD option here for the F10 M5.
