The M Performance Parts for the all-new BMW M5 will make its world debut alongside the one of a kind (1/1) 2018 BMW M3 30 Years American Edition at the 2017 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada on Tuesday October 31 st, 2017. BMW Group experts will be available for interviews during the show at the BMW stand outside the South Hall (Booth 68000) in the Performance Pavilion area. In addition, featured BMW vehicles with fully Acccessorized M Performance Parts Include: the BMW 740e xDrive iPerformance, BMW 440i and BMW X3 xDrive30i, as well as the Moto GP BMW M2 Safety Car and the BMW M1 IMSA Group 4 Race Car.

With the World Premiere of the M Performance Parts for the all-new BMW M5, BMW now offeres a full range of original BMW Accessories for the quintessential high-performance sports sedan. The comprehensive range of exclusive M Performance Parts for the all-new BMW M5 were developed using BMW M motorsport know-how and underscore the high-performance sedan’s sporty and luxurious appearance, while also fulfilling functional requirements in terms of aerodynamics, cooling and lightweight construction. Most of these exclusive M Performance Parts will be available as options during the time of ordering when the vehicle is launched in the Spring of 2018, with additional products following in July 2018.

The all-new BMW M5 represents the 6th generation and, like those that have come before, it delivers on these promises – and more. M xDrive, the new M-specific all-wheel-drive system, allows the M5 to reach new heights of dynamic performance and delivers poise in all driving situations. When the engine is first started, the all-new BMW M5 will be in all-wheel-drive mode (4WD) and then the driver is able to vary the handling characteristics by selecting various driving modes, including a rear-wheel-drive mode with no DSC. In this 2WD mode, the all-new BMW M5 offers drivers the opportunity to experience BMW’s traditional rear-wheel drive characteristics. Under the hood of the all-new BMW M5 is the latest and most advanced version of the renowned 4.4-liter V8 engine featuring M TwinPower Turbo technology with an output increase from the previous generation of 40 hp and 53 lb-ft, this new engine develops 600 hp and 553 lb-ft of peak torque to promise explosive acceleration and formidable performance. The twin-turbo V8 unit propels the M5 via the new 8-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic and teams up with the M xDrive system to transfer all of the high-revving turbocharged engine’s might to the road, and allows a 0–60 mph acceleration run in a mere 3.2 seconds, making it the quickest and most agile to date.

quickly from what i can tell:
-carbon fiber front grills
-carbon fiber exhaust tips
-carbon fiber left/right front "splitter"
-carbon fiber rear spoiler
-i think the rear diffuser looks a little different, some kind of top piece

Typical BMW

So it's no longer 'would you like a steering wheel with that?'

It's now 'would you like some M parts with your M car so it looks like an M car?'

You mean M decals and CF bits here and there? Don’t forget the back/white BMW elite emblem!

Not everyone wants a shouty car. Better to offer it as more of a sleeper, and let people opt for carbon fibre bits and stripes if they want it to stand out.

Regarding "typical BMW", name one premium car manufacturer that doesn't do this. Maybe you should look in to a Civic Type R, they come out shouty straight from the factory.

I totally agree. They have to make money to give us the products we love. At the end of the day, I don’t mind a little bit of extorting if I get what is promised on the box.

I wouldn’t get everything on display but I have to say “all is goot” minus the stripes. Those should stay with the M3/4 or on race cars.

I am surprised no forged or sportier alloys are offered.

How about just making a bit different giving it a little more flair and having an option to go to more understated parts? Instead of trying to rinse buyers. I'm surprised by the increased cost of the M5 yet it's only a revised version of the outgoing engine.

...And the comparison of the Type-R is going from the sublime to the ridiculous. Plus the R is about a third of the price of an M5

While I admit that more pronounced fenders would be nice, the M:s (especially the M5) have always been more on the understated side, nothing new. Majority of the buyers, including me, prefer something more classy and understated.

Think of it as a bowl of noodles. Wouldn't you agree that it's a better idea to let the customers choose the level of spiciness, instead of pouring tabasco in everyone's portions?

Can’t imagine they are offered on the street car.
