Did Mansory Company Borrow Ideas from Honda?

Exclusive Tuning by Mansory for BMW M5

The Mansory atelier, known for its work on Rolls-Royce and Mercedes-Benz G-Class, has now turned its attention to the new BMW M5. This model, often criticized for its weight, actually impresses with its dynamic qualities, and after refinement looks even more aggressive and has gained additional power.

Exterior Changes: Carbon Fiber and Blue Accents

Compared to other Mansory projects, this M5 version is not too radical, but still attracts attention. The tuner actively used exposed carbon fiber, installing a new lower grille frame and a pronounced front spoiler, giving the front end a more menacing look.

Dramatic Design Details

The most noticeable change was the hood, where Mansory added prominent carbon fiber ventilation openings in the central section, leaving the rest of the details in the body color. In addition, the car received carbon mirror caps, new sills, and a carbon coating over the classic BMW Hofmeister kink. A new set of 22-inch wheels has also been installed.

Mansory exhaust system, inspired by Honda

Controversial Exhaust System

One of the most discussed parts of the update was the exhaust system. Mansory designers seem to have been inspired by the Honda Civic Type R, installing three exhaust pipes in the center of the bumper. Although many prefer the original quad-pipe system, the tuner’s solution looks better than the strange M Performance exhaust system available for the M3 and M4.

Interior Updates and Power Increase

The interior has also undergone significant changes: the seats and parts of the door panels are upholstered in bright blue leather, contrasting with large areas of black leather. This doesn’t look too restrained, but by Mansory’s standards, such styling is considered quite moderate.

As for technical improvements, the standard hybrid powertrain of the G90 M5 with a 4.4-liter bi-turbo V8 produces 717 hp and 737 lb-ft of torque. Mansory increased these figures to 838 hp and 848 lb-ft, making the car even more powerful. As we know, there is no such thing as too much power.

This project demonstrates how Mansory successfully combines aggressive design with technical improvements, while maintaining some restraint. The use of carbon fiber and bright colors emphasizes the sporting character of the M5, and the increased power makes it even more attractive for driving enthusiasts. Such tuning projects often become a benchmark for other ateliers, showing trends in the world of premium car refinement.
