by AC Schnitzer Upgrades the BMW M5
The new generation BMW M5 is controversial due to its weight and hybrid V8 engine. However, AC Schnitzer has introduced updated versions for the M5 sedan and touring, which improve performance and design. If these changes are not enough to interest buyers, then probably nothing will.
Technical and Visual Changes
The standard hybrid 4.4-liter V8 engine produces 717 hp, but thanks to software tuning and a new exhaust system, the power has increased to 799 hp. This is not a revolutionary increase, but the driver will definitely feel the difference.
Among the visual updates are new front splitters with aerodynamic elements, a 20 mm lower ride height, and special 21-inch AC6 wheels. For those who prefer standard BMW wheels, spacers are offered for perfect placement in the wheel arches.
The rear received an updated diffuser, and the touring model got a larger roof spoiler. Additionally, aluminum pedals, a key holder, and a new iDrive panel can be ordered.
These modifications make the M5 even more aggressive, but the issues of weight and the complexity of the hybrid system remain. However, for brand enthusiasts, AC Schnitzer offers options that might convince them of the rationale for choosing this particular model.
