This is the new BMW M5 Competition. Following the M2 Competition, it signals a new era where M Division"s more focused products come as standalone models, as opposed to being Competition packs. If that sounds confusing, be assured the rest of its approach is exactly the same as before. So it"s a bit more powerful, a touch stiffer and a bit more assertively styled than the standard M5. A car not known for lacking power, stiffness or assertion Its 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 is up 24bhp, taking its total output to 616bhp. Which is more than the Mercedes-AMG E63 S. While torque is unchanged at 553lb ft it"s available over a slightly wider rev range, slicing the 0-62mph by 0.1sec, to 3.3secs. The top speed is still limited to 155mph, unless you spec the 189mph Driver"s Package, which you can also have on standard M5s.
