Think the new 2025 BMW M5 is ugly? Well, BMW has just unveiled an extensive range of M Performance parts for it, aimed at enhancing its dynamic and aerodynamic aesthetics.
At the heart of the new M5 is the M Hybrid drive system, combining a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 with an electric motor assist system. All up, it boasts a staggering 535kW and a peak torque of 1000 Nm. Coupled with bespoke chassis tuning and M xDrive all-wheel-drive system, the new setup is actually slower across 0-100km/h than the 2023 M5 Competition; 3.3 seconds before versus 3.5 seconds now.
However, to try and reverse this rather embarrassing retardation of acceleration progress, the M Performance parts could, at least, redeem some visual appeal.
Among the standout features is the M Performance rear diffuser made from carbon fibre, available in a two-section design. This pairs seamlessly with the M Performance tailpipe trims, which combine titanium and carbon fibre for an exotic finish.
The front splitter and rear spoiler options further improve the car’s aerodynamic balance, ensuring optimal air routing during dynamic driving. They also give the sedan a more purposeful stance.
The M Performance sill extensions and exterior mirror caps, both in carbon fibre, aim to amplify the M5’s side profile, while the M Performance side decals in Frozen Black and the aerial cover aramid add a unique flair. There’s also a range of unique alloy wheel options to choose from.
Most of the parts are meticulously craft from carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) and meet BMW’s stringent quality guidelines. These enhancements, developed from BMW M GmbH’s racing expertise, are available now.
The new M5 is priced from $259,900 in Australia, with deliveries set to commence in November.
